[Graal Classic] Classic Graal House Submission Rules

[soulgraal]

Hi I am Soul and I am the new levels reviewer for Graal Classic. I am recieving a huge amount of levels to review and it seems to me that players are not reading the house submission rules because many of the houses I recieve do not comply to even the simplest of rules. Please read the rules, (updated rules can be found in the extended text of this) and then please make sure oyu read these and check that your level meets every requeirment written here.


-SoulGraal Classic Level Submission Rules

1/All levels must be submitted in .graal format.

2/All Levels MUST be named "YOURGRAALNICKwhatever.graal".
Example: soulshotel1.graal

3/All your level names must be submitted in lower case and must include no special characters.

4/If you plan to submit a house you can either:
A-Only make the interior to the house and then find a house outside that is already made and has a little yellow man who says “House available for rent”. All you have to do is look in your profile and take note of the level that it is in, and then state this level when submitting your house.
Example: Please put my house in the small house in uwavalon22.graal
B-If you want to design the outside of your house as well, then please make the outside entrance on a plain green field. All houses will be placed at centralized locations throughout Graal Classic.

5/If you have a whole set of outside levels, then include the name of the level(s) that are to warp to existing online levels. Include any extra specific warp details as well.

-Not give away hearts for no reason.
-Not give away money for no reason.
-Not kill players for no reason.

7/All complex NPCs (ie. scripted baddies, weapons and other complex scripts) will have to be first approved. In your email, you should have a text file describing the NPC (eg. how it works, what it does, etc) and the actual script must also be contained in this text file. We will check the script(s) and tell you if it is approved or if any portions need fixing.

8/Any custom head/sword/shield GIF MUST be already on the Server. If it is not, please submit the GIF first and wait until it is added to the Server before sending in your level(s).
