V4 editor?

[Admins]

I could imagine that online level editing could be quite interesting, you open a window for creating a map, type the width and height, and then you are directly warped there and can start modifying the tiles and adding npcs, and other people can help you.

I think online editing is a great idea (it will certainly be fun!), but I also think that there should still be updated, offline options for people wishing to learn as most people start off fairly bad at development and then improve by posting their developments in the forums sections for judgement.

There is no doubt that online editing will be a very nice addition to Graal, but offline options should also be available.

Both don't hurt xP.

Indeed, online editing will be a fun aspect. But you would have to concider limitations when it comes to direct script imputting and related issues. Alot of simple scripts could mean sudden death to a npc server or even the whole server slot (there's enough to abuse )

So limiting certain actions so they can only be preformed by those who are registered as a "admin" e.g admin=acc,acc... in server options and making it impossible for people who aren't listed to use commands such as copylevel,deletelevel,sendtorc/nc,getplayer and maby other ideas people have. (This will probely immadiatly give someone a reason to flame me with stuff such as, If a server hires staff they should trust him ect) but if you allow online editing there's no direct way of controling your staff as a manager,admin ect. So there should be safeguards.

Ontop of that, no one will be able to practice scripting withouth accidently harming a server. Nor will you directly get so called tallented lats any more that also create their own effects and such cause they simply have never practiced scripting and you'd have to find people that are already confident with other scripting languages possibly torque. Than they would still need to learn gscript. (I mean someone who's new to graal and has never scripting any kind of thing would have to read tutorials and just accept that what they say makes sence withouth testing his own theories) Anyhow... i'm talking to much
