Graal v4 Bugs - For Stefan/testers

[xManiamaNx]

When doing this: OSL_MLText.setLines(client.temp-rules);
I get access violations until I End Task the client.

Access violation at address 02808F90 in module 'GraalEngine.dll'. Read of address 00000038.

Works fine when using _ instead of -.

Maloria Dev, onlinestartlocal.nw/onlinestartlocal2.nw, class: osl

[Admins]

ok will test that. If you use - then it is a subtraction and it will try to add a number/empty array to the multiline control, it shouldn't crash though.

Sometimes when I connect to other servers and try to connect to debug, It won't let me but it lets me connect to every other server.

Yes, debug just needs to be updated/restarted.
vv Oh

[Admins]

No, the other servers need to be restarted

[KuJi]

Hmm, stefan. I have a couple of quests for you:

1) When is the release of V4?


2) Scripting in GS2 clientside with V3. Does it work efficiently? If I script in V3, will they work properly in V4?


3) Are you accepting any more Graal3D servers? If so, can I get my PW into a G3D Server?


4) Can you clean out all these junk folders on my server. We really need to be able to delete folders.


:-)

Another major bug: playlooped crashes v4 within just a few seconds.

another minor bug: lit lamps don't light up dark houses, though torches do.

You need to have 4 lamps to light up a house, it's not a bug

[KuJi]

The lighting system has been perfected..its MANDATORY to have lights for whole place to light up? :O

If so..thats awsuem, but a lot of places will be dark lol.


Anyway, answer my questions plz...

What version do you have calani? I think this was fixed many versions ago.

[Mafukie]

Man someone give me access to this beta test.

Sometimes the serverlist has problems resizing. I have a screenshot, but I'm not sure if I would be allowed to post it.

Yeah, I also noticed that, the size of the server list or the channel list is incorrect after resizing a bit.

[Admins]

Chat text of the characters on Kingdoms start island intro does not show. It may be a GS2 server-only problem

Works for me?

I can see the say2s and such from other characters, but not the chat of the characters from the gani movie.

[KuJi]

Maybe their hungry for some fish?

It doesn't show here too, sometimes, I remember the last part of it showing one time, but that's it.

4.0.0.33

When logging on to a server and reopening the serverlist, the Updates tab is empty

Might be intentional? Stefan mentioned servers being able to use the update stuff

Yes, the default downloads are only available on the Login server, while playerworlds can make their own download packages. I will make it so that the Update-tab is hidden if the playerworld doesn't provide any download package.

Perhaps you could do this with the playerlist on the Login server, too. Only allow the global playerlist sections of the playerlist if you're going to disable the playerlist on the login server.

[Maniaman]

Personally, I think it would be nice to keep the regular playerlist enabled on the login server.

[Maniaman]

4.0.0.33

If you update a GUI script while the GUI is minimized, the titlebar pops back up full size, but transparent. The rest of the gui is hidden. (See attachment).

[CheeToS2]

v4.0.0.34 users:
If the client crashes when you click start, deleting some registry entries will fix it.
NOTE: If you're not comfortable with editing the registry, don't try it!
After doing this, you will need to re-enter your account name(s) and password(s)
1) Start>Run>regedit

2) Edit>Find>Graal
3) Open the Graal 'folder'
4) Right click on the Client 'folder' and click delete (or if you know what you are doing and don't mind, delete one key at a time to find out which one is making it crash)
5) Try running Graal4.exe

If that fixes it, PLEASE post here and say so. If it doesn't fix it, delete the RemoteControl 'folder' in the registry too, then post saying that fixed it (if it did)

clearing registry stuff worked (just client I think)

Mega update #2

Fixed:
- When switching from the Servers tab to the Event Channels tab, the Refresh button is not destroyed.

- Destroying an image object with hideimg within a with() block causes an error
EX: #gscript, weapon velox_npc

- Timeouts cause clientside playerchats events to not block default commands like warpto
EX: #gscript, weapon cheetos_v4chat

- playerhearts can be negative

- Translate button on PMs is missing / not working

- Ignore button in PM dialog doesn't work (ignore from the playerlist context menu does work)

- If you reconnect with one of the servers open in the servers tab, the list of users disappears, but the arrow still points down

- Letters.png is not reset to the default when switching servers

- If you fill the chatbox to its limit and try to paste more text, the client crashes

- "Limit the lenght of nicknames to" (length is spelled wrong)

- Shift+home key combination doesn't work correctly: select some text at the end of a line, then press Shift+Home. The text you had selected is deselected

- When GuiTextEditCtrls scroll from being full, text leaks out of the border on the left (see Crono's screenshot)

- Open the serverlist, scroll to the bottom, and collapse the Hosted tree. The scrollbar breaks

- Admin messages show "\n" instead of a newline

- Delete and backspace keys don't delete keybindings on Graal Kingdoms, but delete does work on Graal2002 Debug

- If you change your nickname and switch to another server, your nickname is set back to what it was originally

- setlevel2 (and maybe wraptext2) convert floats to integers

- Crashes when logging on to Maloria (tested by CheeToS, Vulcan, Maniaman)

- If a DBNPC triggers a point where a level npc is located, errors occur (I think this is the problem, anyway)
EX: Unholy Nation, cheetos_v4test.nw. Change servers to cause the error. If you move 'cheetostest' to somewhere outside the area of the level npc, the errors don't occur. This might be causing the problems with Maloria.

- compuscount returns 0 on GS2 servers
EX: #gscript, cheetos_leveltest.nw

- Message boxes aren't resized, so long messages are cut off in admin messages (maybe related to the long ban message thing)

- Tiles 0xBB8,0xBB9,0xBC8,0xBC9,0xB9B,0xBD8,0xBD9,0xBAB,0x B8F should be deeplava and should hurt

- Tile 0xB8E should hurt

- setzoomeffect acts weird for high values
EX: #gscript, fry_v4bug.nw Walk around the level and the image will act strange

- Client freezes when using playlooped to stream midis (mp3 works fine)
EX: #gscript, cheetos_v4crash2.nw

- If a player rapidly slashes their sword, other players only see them slash once

- Very long ban messages are drawn above the y axis in the message box, so they are invisible (might be WinXP only)

- Errors in F2 log:
GraalScript: Function drawimagerectangle not found in script of -Playerlist
GraalScript: Function sort not found in script of -Playerlist
GraalScript: Function removeRowById not found in script of -Playerlist

- rightmousebutton isn't set to false after opening and closing profiles
EX: N-Pulse, cheetos_bulldog.nw. Right click on yourself, and close your profile. The NPC will still say 'Pressed'

- If you put the NPC-Server on ignore and send it a PM, the F2 log fills with the following:
PM: sent to (npcserver): Dev NPCs (Server)
Maniaman> I think what is happening is the NPC-Server will pm you its "i am the npcserver for this game server blah blah blah" message, and then you will send it a PM saying 'your messages are ignored'

- On Graal2002 Debug, the stone mills in insidemain_stonemill2.nw do not block (maybe some unknown bug)

- textedit selecting text fixed

- gui gfx downloading fixed

- fixed savestring

- string.lower() and string.upper() is fixed (mapped to lowercase() and uppercase())

- The Homepage, Graal version, and Language fields can be edited on the serverlist (maybe add a readonly variable for people to use?)

- (probably an npcserver bug) \\n is being converted to \\\\n when storing strings
EX: Eden, Weapon SernEmail, Database SernEmailDB. Use 'get mail' and 'send mail'. If you fix the \s in the database and then send yourself another mail, the \s you fixed before are broken again

- Shields aren't disabled when on Zeppelins
EX: Graal2002 Debug, pirates_ba-14.nw

- Open a server in the servers tab, and add a user to your buddy list. Switch to the Local Players tab and remove the user from your buddy list. The person does not leave the list until you switch to and from the Servers tab

- Minimize a GUI window and open the chatbar; the chatbar should be drawn on top (made transparent)

- Trying to do math operations as a parameter of setlines() causes errors
EX: #gscript, weapon cheetos_v4mal

- Tile 0xBFA should be deeplava

- Tiles 0xCB0,0xCB1,0xCB2,0xCC0,0xCC1,0xCC2 should hurt

- The "Offline" section of the playerlist is not cleared after switching servers

- Text shading of gani movie text does not work

- Script command wraptext2 returns different values sometimes, see the flickering text in the help screen on Zone

- If a GUI script is updated while the GUI is minimized, only the titlebar will appear and it will be transparent (see attachment)

- Text drawing massively faster

Minor Feature Requests:
- Add CTRL+A key combination
- Close chatbar when player clicks on the game window
- Multiline text control scrolling added
- Added several new stuff to GuiScrollControl
- You can set scrolllinex and scrollliney for controls now
(specifies how much the scroll control is scrolled when you click on the arrows, you need to set it in the subcontrol)
- There is also a showtop() function which is a combination of show(), bringtofront(), and tabfirst()
(tabfirst() is focussing the first edit control)
- Added ctrl.globaltolocalcoord({x,y}) and ctrl.localtoglobalcoord({x,y})
- showpolys can be used inside controls now with GuiShowImgCtrl
- Make server image folders a subfolder of webgifs instead of a subfolder of levels, or make a new folder called "servers"
EX: the file maloria_bush.png would usually be stored in levels/maloria. With this change, it would be stored in levels/webgifs/maloria or levels/servers/maloria
Moved to levels/images/downloads and levels/images/prefix/prefix_name.png
- Add the ability to double click a tab to view a message
- Add a feature to view messages after a user has logged off
- Automatically minimize the playerlist when Graal is minimized, and restore it when graal is restored

- Close chatbar when player clicks on the game window
I don't like this, it should be there all the time. Like on V2..

NO.

Atleast an option to enable it.

Every now and then with 4.0.0.36 I have a problem with the Bitmap Fonts displaying unreadable images. Two examples are attached. Not sure what causes this, I have updated drivers, libraries etc.

Hmmm for new players it would probably be good if it's always there, otherwise they might not find out that you need to press Tab to chat. For people that know the chat thing it is probably nicer to only display the chat bar when needed, makes the game look nicer.

(!) Set player to paused when Graal isn't focused, and set playerpaused (still seems broken)

It works perfectly for me, exactly the same way like in v2. What is broken with that?

Some clientside 2x2 tile changes by script aren't sent to the server (bushes, pots, etc DO work) (tested with shovel on Graal2001)

Actually tile modifications are always sent to the server (same like with v2). But the server doesn't accept all modifications if the old tileset is used, only 2x2 and only if one the 9 allowed objects are replaced (grass, vase, bush, sign, stone, blackstone, swamp, stake1 and stake2 (for hammer)).

When the 'start in fullscreen' option is enabled, the start screen/serverlist is not centered

Works fine for me

[KuJi]

Wasn't V4 suppost to be released almost a month ago now? Maybe longer?

[CheeToS2]

I tried it with another person on N-Pulse and Classic, they both said I didn't become paused when I looked at another screen. I think one of them told me that it wasn't working in v2 anymore too, but I haven't tested that.

EDIT: Okay, it is working in v.37 now, but playerpaused is only being set serverside and not clientside too (Lance says this is how v2 does it but it would be better to have it set both serverside and clientside)

Oh, ok. Well, the shovel on 2k1 and N-Pulse is changing grass tiles to dirt tiles; I am guessing that is what you mean by the 'grass' one? When I dig a hole, only I can see it. When people using v2 dig one, I can see it too.
EDIT: Works in 4.0.1.0

Works fine for me

Ah, I had it set to a non-4:3 resolution I think. Sorry

Bug in 4.0.0.35

If your nickname contains a guild tag, then you get an access violation when you hit start. (I'd say this is a fairly major bug).

Ah THANK GOD the guild tag is the reason for why its crashing x-x We thought its some problem with registry setting or so, will fix it as soon as possible

[Admins]

Ok new version released, should fix the bug when clicking offline test/start, the profile icon works when watching your own profile, it is adding (paused) to the nickname if the window is not focussed, when deselecting players on the playerlist it is not drawing their name highlighed on the map anymore, it is also displaying the pm icons of offline players on the minimap, and password compatibility with v2 is fixed

[Maniaman]

- Automatically minimize the playerlist when Graal is minimized, and restore it when graal is restored

This does not seem to be working for me.

[Ibonic]

Can we possibly have an "account name only" view option for the playerlist? I wouldn't want to use it all of the time, but temporarily every now and then when I'm looking for someone while not on RC would be nice.

This also happens with Graal3.
