Windows v6 beta test

[Tricxta]

Polygons seem to shift up whilst the player is in trial mode. What I find weird is, it doesn't do the same to images...

That also happens to particle effects.

Found a bug that applies to both v5 and v6. When you draw an NPC on a TDrawingPanel (clientside) it causes the NPC to first become invisible and thus not getting drawn. The NPC is not displayed again until it changes image/gani or the level is updated.

Example code:

PHP Code:

 new GuiDrawingPanel("Test_DrawingPanel") {
  width = height = 200;
  x = screenwidth/2 - width/2;
  y = screenheight/2 - height/2;
  clearall();
  
  // Let's scan through the NPC's in the level and draw them!
  for (temp.npcData: npcs)
    drawobject(0, 0, temp.npcData);
 } 


Problem does not occur when trying to draw player objects.

Hmmm the problem can be that the npc was not previously visible when you were drawn it on the drawing panel? It might load the textures just in memory and then cannot be drawn normally to OpenGL/DirectX.

I took a somewhat laggy and inconclusive video to try and show you the problem.



Source code:

PHP Code:

  new GuiDrawingPanel("Test_DrawingPanel") {
    width = height = 64*16;  // Creates a drawing panel as big as the level
    x = y = 0;  // Places the drawing panel in the top left corner of the screen
    clearall();
    
    // Let's scan through the NPC's in the level and draw them!
    for (temp.npcData: npcs) {
      // Draws the NPC on the board on the same position as it is placed at in the level
      drawobject(temp.npcData.x*16, temp.npcData.y*16, temp.npcData);
    }
    
    // Makes the drawing panel click-through, moving around is a pain in the ass otherwise
    useOwnProfile = true;
    profile.modal = false;
  }

Also, speaking of drawObject(), the objects drawn does not get removed from the TDrawingPanel after using clearAll().

Years will pass, and V6 still won't be released...

[fowlplay4]

It's 'kind of' released at the moment, used to have to wait for them to post a link to it. Now it's on their download pages.

A V6 update that addresses all the requests and fixes of the players so the playercount will want to use V6 is what we're really waiting for.

Obviously because you annoyed the **** out of everyone with the stupid "LOL UPGRADE TO V6 OR ENDURE THIS ANNOYING POP UP EVERYTIME YOU LOG IN ^___^". fowlplay summerized it here.

Lol, I also made it so when I check for v5 and v6, it sends a message to v5 players to upgrade.

Disgusting

Levels with tilelayers are behaving extremely strange in v6. The first time you enter a level every session, all of it's surrounding levels on a gmap is completely covered in blocking tiles that won't dissapear until the level is updated. It creates some very inconvenient problems for non-staff players.

@Stefan, check it out yourself on Maloria at mal.gmap.

Hmmm wondering if we should more focus on making the new map format available since it's offering much more cool stuff for layering, on the other hand the online editor for it is not finished yet. It could be possible to provide the special offline editor for it though if someone is interested.

It would be great if you could first make the current layers work properly without needing a staff member to update level everytime you enter it. Really, please check it out on Maloria @ mal.gmap.

I'm very interested in the special offline editor for the new map format though, especially if the format will be available on servers soon - I don't want to have to remake the entire server once they are.
