The computer overheated and did a shutdown. When I rebooted (after a few minutes), the skin graphics were gone off G4. We can still get around, but:

Try deleting filenamecache.txt?

Try redownloading the Graal3D files using setup.exe.

[Velox Cruentus]

I did redownload it. I just thought the actual text on the back disturbing, rather. I know how the problem occurred, and how to fix it. Just not from preventing it from reoccurring.

Suggestions for Global Playerlist:

*account name added to indicate its someones account name

Some way to indicate if its a player or RC

They are all account names

Sorry, I explained what I meant wrong. In my buddylist I thought I saw the name account (on Graal Kingdoms) without the *. My eyes are deceiving me.

On servers with an updated GServer, they show nicknames. (Graal Kingdoms)

[CheeToS2]

Hm, okay, it does show nicknames on GK (neat), but it looks like it already shows * for account names. Maybe it doesn't if somebody sets their nickname to *accountname, just like the regular playerlist.

I have had this problem with Graal 4 since I deleted the filenamecache the first time, except clearing the filenamecache again, reinstalling Graal 3, or reextracting Graal 4 did not fix it. Graal 3 has no problems, though.

Note to *Stefan:
Add the following v4 testers:

Gerami
Luciano
TB3
xAndrewx

[xManiamaNx]

When enabling a second monitor while Graal4 is running, the game screen stops displaying the game and is all grey. When the screen is clicked on I get an Access Violation "Access violation at address 00446C58 in module 'Graal4.exe'. Read of address 00000004. When clicking OK on that dialog, another one pops up just like it.

On Graal4, if you try logging on to a server with v31enabled=false you get an error saying "You need Graal version Graal 3.13-4 to play on this server." If the v31enabled=false is changed to v30enabled=false, it still gives that message unless you put v31enabled=true in the serveroptions first. It will still do that after the client is restarted.

Almost all of my dialog boxes that come up have scrollbars on them.

When dragging Graal4 from the main display over to a second display, the framerate drops to around 1 frame every 5 seconds. my CPU usage goes up to 100, and my entire system slows down. My mouse jumps from 1 place to where I moved it to every 5 seconds or so. Once I kill Graal4, everything is back to normal speed. I have done this before with Graal3 and Graal3, and they have both worked fine. This happens when the game is at the first menu, or actually on a server. Everything runs fine if Graal4 is on the primary display.

[Velox Cruentus]

I can't set a proxy for when I'm at school networks or likewise.

Enabling second moniter while G4 is on causes Access Violation Error confirmed.

Playing G4 on second moniter: 5% up to 38%. I guess my computer handles it better, however, it's still noticible.

v30enabled is for v2 and v3.0 (<=3.0), v30enabled is for v3.1 and v4 (>=3.1).

It's working fine with v2 and v3 ? Graal v4 is checking better if the drawing context is destroyed, so that it can recreate it, instead of having a messed up display or black window.

Almost all of my dialog boxes that come up have scrollbars on them.

With the latest version of v4 ?

[CheeToS2]

Maniaman can only post once a day, so I'll answer for him.

mania: only showed a gray screen when i enabled my second monitor
mania: when I moved it over to the 2nd monitor, it became really really really slow
mania: I could watch the thing refresh stuff down the screen

With the latest version of v4 ?

Yes, although this doesn't happen to me. He says it is happening with the "you have been disconnected" boxes. I've attached a screenshot.

scrollbars: I have those too, on the filename cache dialog and others.

also: A lot of things aren't (re)set as expected when switching servers.

For example:

-I was just on Classic and switched to Maloria. The level/gmap I was in on Classic showed up on Maloria under their "News" GUI for about 15 seconds even though my internet connection wasn't lagging. Note: It was the first time I was on Maloria though and doesn't happen after that, so I do know it was some kind of lag anyway -- but I don't think v2 acts like this, it's just odd to see the previous server's level like that.

-If you set a nickname while on a server and then switch to another, in v2 it would use the name that you set while online, but in v4 it uses the one that was set on the client before logging on the first time.
(CheeToS told me this was already reported, sorry! I noticed it a long time ago, but never bothered to post it until now)

-Customs graphics (e.g. letters.png) from servers are still shown when switching to another which uses the defaults (e.g. Maloria to Classic), or sometimes none are shown at all.

Have also had a problem quite frequently lately on both v4 and v2 (on Classic) where some levels on a gmap will not show up at all other than as the default grass tiles. This gives the impression to other people that a person experiencing this is walking through walls / cheating.

[Edit]
Sometimes my chat text bar disappears completely (doesn't show up when pressing tab), this happened just now after switching servers a few times. Not sure if it's been reported already or not.

Requested feature: enable ctrl+left/right (word left/right) and ctrl+shift+left/right (select word left/right) in the chat bar.

You already mentioned those, silly, but I will move them to the features section since they aren't really bugs

[Crono]

I get the following when logging onto Maloria. I have the newest version of V4 (or so I think? Last modified around 3 hours ago.)

When hitting ok it keeps on coming up.

Silly, it's a segfault most likely.

*wants v4 really bad because his server plans on using many of the new scripting features*

[Python523]

triggerserver() fails to work for me

[Admins]

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

It's a problem with the npcserver, I have fixed it already but I am not sure if I have uploaded the updated npcserver to all machines.

- setlevel2 (and maybe wraptext2) convert floats to integers

setlevel2 works the same like always, it converts to precision of 0.5

- Scripts are not halted while reading signs (causing problems on Classic, should this be changed or should Classic change their script?)
EX: #gscript, cheetos_sign.nw. Give yourself the weapon cheetos_v4halt. In v4, the number still increases while reading signs

It's not a bug, it's meant to be like that.

Hm, well, I've noticed that when I setlevel2 to a position I can't do it to something like 30.5, it always gets rounded down to 30, atleast under these circumstances, haven't got the time now to test it differently, will do tomorrow.
A system NPC triggers grab when pressing A, following code doesn't warp correctly:

function onActionGrab() {
setlevel2("level.nw", 30.5, 30.5);
}

I get sent to 30, 30.

Additionally, check out fry_v4bug.nw on #gscript, setimgpart(i); in NPCs makes the images act weird when moving.

ok

I've tried it with 30.4, 30.5, and 30.6 on #gscript (cheetos_showpoly.nw), and they all put me at 30 with v4 and 30.5 with v2 (verified with RC)

Didn't think it was a bug, but I wasn't sure if there was any important reason why scripts don't do anything in v2. Just posted it in case

When you press escape it asks you if you want to quit. The problem with this is that it freezes the client. People have been known to use this 'feature' to cheat/gain immunity. How about making it so it doesn't freeze the client?

Can there be a way to make a function like onSignClose(sign index) or something? Might be helpful for NPCs which start a timer or something after you finish reading the sign.

[Crono]

Upon logging onto Valikorlia's bridgeton.gmap I can't move. I have to unstick me to onlinestartlocal and THEN come back. (then it works but when you re-log the same thing happens)

There is the 'playerendsreading' event.
No idea whether it works or if it's just there for looking good.

I like both of these ideas alot.

[Crono]

There's a bug on the serverlist. You can probably get the exact same result. On the serverlist, scroll all the way down, then click the [+] on the Hosted. The bar will go down and off.

Here's a screenshot showing what I mean...

[Spark910]

I do not see the serverlist images at all, even with G3D installed.

Did you try deleting filenamecache.txt? Some things won't update if it is not deleted first.

Bug. Caused by the scrollbar thing updating size but not moving back up to account for the change in size

- (!) Using WinXP, if you lock the computer while the playerlist is opened (windows key + L), an errors occurs: "A Win32 API function failed"

Tested in 4.0.0.27 and the problem still exists.

Ok, chances are it might be there for a while since Stefan uses Win2k and the problem only occurs with WinXP.

[Crono]

If you go onto a server and use a hat, then log onto Valikorlia, the hat will still be on the player. If you go on Zone and then on Valikorlia, the hair you had on Zone will be on your character, just missplaced.

[Crono]

When you place too many letters/numbers/whatever into the nickname tab causing the letters to shift left, it's off. Screenshot should explain it all, im bad with wording -_-

Edit-This problem also exists for the password tab. not the account tabs though.

To those who can't see open chests properly: Save this attachment in your webgifs folder and delete FILENAMECACHE.txt

That would be an error in the profile for editboxes. Offset property iirc.
