Sorry, was not very clear.

If you make a character NPC on serverside, it does not show the right head/body/etc or gani, and it shows up at the wrong x/y position. I've attached an example; the top half is v2, the bottom is v4. Both NPCs are the same, except one is serverside.

Ok problem of reading the npc colors when the npc data is received from the server, fixed.

Stop using GScript1 then.

Only if the old script is used, otherwise it will correctly display v4

When you highlight a long nick name in the starting screen the highlight shows out the side of the typing element.

Make your nickname WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
and highlight it left to right or right to left and you will see a red bar.

Yes I forgot about this. It happens for any GuiTextEditCtrl/GuiMLTextEditCtrl.

Alright, it is on N-Pulse, cheetos_bulldog.nw

They are spawning in the middle, and one is stuck on a wall near the top.

[Skyld]

Here are a couple of problems I have noticed:

- GuiMenuBars are not visible, and do not work
- GuiMLTextCtrl and GuiMLScrollCtrl in combination (I assume) on the serverlist shows the highlight selection bar outside of the control if you select a server and then scroll the selection box
- If a person is located using the Guilds section on the global playerlist that is not on a public server, they appear under Zone in the Servers tab

I don't think it is putting it under Zone, it is just putting it at the bottom of the list; maybe there should be an "Other" section?

Well, yes, but to the average person, they would likely assume Zone.
An "Other" section would be a good idea.

Cheetos travelled back in time to reply to Stefan's post before he made it.

New monitor got here yesterday (Dell 1905 OMG!) and a new bug was born.

Note in lower right corner how the chatbar as well as NPC text sent there doesn't hide after they disappear

Using resolution 1280*1024

It is a problem with the redrawing of images on the right-most side of the level. I thought Stefan fixed it though. =x

[HoudiniMan]

Actually, it seems it's a problem when my screen is displaying area bigger than the level's tileboard.

The glitch doesn't happen when i move to the left a bit, it happens when it runs off the side of the level's board.

""- If somebody logs off before you can read their PM, the PM bubble on the playerlist tabs doesn't go away"

I think we should be able to read PMs like this instead of them disappearing and us having to look in history to see

While I was on Unholy Nation, I noticed that when I died in a spar room where v2 would normally set me by the door, v4 did not. NJ said "it might be a triggeraction", but we haven't inspected it.

Some of the custom emoticons on UN also don't work as expected and as they do in v2.
[Edit]The emoticons (even the standard ones) seem not to start at the first frame when using them multiple times, which seems related to this problem..[/Edit]

On the classic server I had a problem where my sword and bomb/arrows etc. would not work when they should have. I reconnected, reloaded the client and so on and the problem still existed. Then when I changed to the v2 client, and it worked again as expected. But I haven't been able to reproduce this and can't provide more info yet.

Some GScript2 objects cannot be stored in variables:
(also, note that showimg rotation exists now )

 showimg(2,"head122.png",10,0);
 e = findimg(2);
 e.rotation = 20; // doesn't work
 player.chat = e.x; // doesn't work

 showimg(2,"head122.png",10,0);
 findimg(2).rotation = 20; // works fine
 player.chat = findimg(2).x; // works fine

 e = this.getvarnames();
 player.chat = e.size(); // 72 - works fine
 say2(e[0]); // works fine

 e = this.getfunctions();
 player.chat = e.size(); // 0 - doesn't work
 say2(e[0]); // doesn't work

 player.chat = this.getfunctions().size(); // 98 - works fine
 say2(this.getfunctions()[0]); // works fine

[Admins]

For the sparring thing please give me the level name, for the emoticons the emoticon-keys which dont restart

[Admins]

About the menu stuff:
You need to set profile = "GuiMenuBarProfile", because the background is only drawn if profile.opaque = true.

townsparmedium2.graal -- sorry about that


It seems that all of the emoticons are affected, e.g. if you press ctrl + A, it first starts with A, then if you move / press another key when it's at F, and press ctrl + A again it will start at the F etc. but on v2 it would always start at A. Same with Z/B etc.

The custom ones on UN (not sure how they are working) such as ctrl + 0 (zero) have similar problems, and some of them (ctrl + ', ctrl + /) don't work at all.

[Edit]
Whenever I get the "Another player logged into your account" message, v4 will freeze and become unusable.

[Admins]

Ok fixed the problem on Unholy Nation (it was not calling playerenters after the player died). I have also modified the animations to restart if they are displayed again after being invisible for 200 milliseconds. If two people use the same emoticon then it will still show the same animation step though (for optimization).

By the way this looks, it seems it should be even lower than 200 milliseconds. Some of the emoticons look odd or are invisible for a period of time (see ctrl + Z on occasion) if they don't restart at the first frame.


These things are related to UN:

-In townsparmedium2.graal, I'm able to use NPCWs (bombs etc.) when I shouldn't be able to.

-Custom emoticons ctrl + . and ctrl + / still don't work at all.

-The animation of custom emoticon ctrl + 0 (zero) is shown 3 times instead of just one as it does on v2.


Another general small thing (not really a bug though):

-The tooltips on the playerlist don't go away a lot of the time when focusing on the game until bringing the playerlist back up and hovering over things again, which can be annoying to ..some people..

[Admins]

Ok the problems with the emoticon animations should be fixed, also the keycode function is working better now so you can do Ctrl + . and such things. The hint window of the playerlist is hidden too if the playerlist is hidden. The showcharacters dont appear on the playerlist either anymore

In the townspar levels everything worked fine for me though, was not able to use weapons except the sword when I am in the battle field.

when i summoned a "few" (20-30?) monster pets, my handle count for the graal4.exe goes to 230.000 and many nice errors about no memory left start appearing

I can't get this to happen, but I sure had fun trying
Does it happen to anybody else?

When "locking" Windows XP (windows key + L) with the game window focused and returning, I received a "Win32 API function failed" error message and black screen. After doing it a second time, the game completely froze and I was unable to close it without using the task manager to force kill the process.

While on Classic in some sparring rooms that disable weapons, such as gc_sparring_01.nw - the weapons are not (re)enabled when they should be. The reproduce this, it's best to have a (Game Coordinator) tag in the said level and type "start" without quotes to enable the weapons ; "stop" disables the weapons. Using version 2 there is no problem, but it does exist in v3.
[Edit] Note, this uses save[]

I do not experience this problem with either Graal 3 or 4. :o

I have no problem with Graal v3 doing this, but it's a different case with Graal v4. For me it's reproducible on multiple XP (SP1/SP2) machines, and doesn't appear to happen on Windows 2000/2003. One of the machines uses an ATI video card while the other uses NVIDIA; Both are using DirectX 9.0c with the newest drivers etc.
I have my XP user accounts passworded (hence the "locking"), if that matters. I'll see what else might affect it and edit my post later when I have more time..

[Edit]
Ohh, seems to only happen when the playerlist is open, even if one or both of the windows are minimized. Big key there

[Edit2]
Seems that we can't play music etc. with another program while Graal v4 is running- I think if that's true, quite a few people won't appreciate it.

[Skyld]

Z height of serverside database npcs are not always updated on the client.
An example would be my ship on Era, which does not always appear to land in Graal 4
The Z does update on entering the level, but not when it is being actively changed.

Edit
I have checked out the problem on a couple of other servers, and different Graal versions. I realise that it is not actually a problem with Graal 4, but Era, regardless of the Graal version used

[pacMASTA]

In graal4 linux will the shield position be fixed and the hellish chat be fixed?

[Admins]

Graal v3 and v4 use the same sound library like WoW. I am setting the option for continuing the music even if the program doesn't have the focus though, may be that is the problem ?

I don't think that's what I meant. The Graal music plays fine for me, but I normally have it off anyway. What I tried to do is play some external music (MP3s) with some other program like Winamp, while Graal is running. I can do this fine with Graal v2, but not with v4 when I use the Audigy 2 series sound cards (although it may happen with others too)..
It's not really a bug, but it will probably bother some people if they happen to have a sound card that experiences this.

It works fine for me. o_O
