Online Leveling Making

MY GOD HOW COULD IT BE SO MUCH FASTER? You just right click the file, edit, fix it, and then click save.

Throwing out the offline editor for an online one isn't worth it. I also think that they will throw the offline editor so that you cannot actually "possess" a level. You know, the whole 100% graal property thing.

I really hope people go on strike and DONT make levels if the offline is taken out -_-;

That's kind of ignorant... it would never happen, and would be very counter-productive. To do offline level editing, is not a big deal. If you're editing a level online, you can still view it and edit it, not like if you just up and get disconnected it's all gone, it'll still be there. I think I'll make a poll in main forums about it. If I do some kind of an online level editor currently, will probably have it save a copy of the level such as if you're editing testlevel1.nw it would copy it to testlevel1_edit.nw and you edit that, then when you're ready to save it, you can trigger the save command or so, perhaps it'll create backups when you save it, or make someone 2nd the uploading of it. Also add a nice little /revert feature or so in case you just want to go ahead and get the old version back.

Yeah, no one in their right minds would kill off the offline editer. That seems to be you're only problem...

100 people said it won't ever happen, so who cares?

[LegendaryTsukasa]

Can you please list these 100 people.

I disagree... and being that I talk to Stefan and the other globals daily, I think I might know Sorry, but I believe the current plan is to do away with offline level editing with v.3/v.31 comes out. It might change, we were talking to Stefan about how it would be nice to be able to edit offline, but who knows. Perhaps a seperate .exe to do it I even suggested.

I think this would be ideal because it will be a one time thing and nothing has to be updated.

The thing is, many of us want OUR WORK on OUR HARD DRIVES. We PRACTICE OFFLINE. Some of us don't want our practice levels to be automaticaly graal's property. I know this whole "omg take off offline" thing is a way to keep uh "graal files?" away from us. That and they just want everything we make directly. -_-; Whats next? "YOU CAN ONLY USE GRAAL GFX EDITOR >:[ WHICH IS 100% ONLINE"

I don't see how going on a strike against level editing is ignorant. Hell if every owner of every server on graal took down their servers Graal would die instantly.

Not exactly. People still play Kingdoms and some of those who have purchased accounts will go to classic. But I am with you on still having an offline editor.

Yea...There should'nt even be a discussion about keeping offline editor. Both editors should be kept,online and offline.

I talk to God every Sunday. I win.


And you do not talk to me, I have you blocked.


Also, pertaining to the issue at hand:
Offline editors should certainly be available. Especially with the demands of all the new UC servers, there needs to be an easy way for people to come into the LAT community. How is the level community going to grow if you need to be hired first?

Protagonist has a point.
