Is the elevation going to work like it did in that screenshot, or are you going to implement that with a gmap somehow? What I mean is, your elevation is going to be flat squares raised and lowered? That might look wierd.

Refer to these screenshots, but I am changing the tile size and they are displayed in a bit of a different pattern now in the script, but the concept of the elevation is the same, the game is not action/adventure like most graal servers, it's strategy based, imagine something like tactics ogre, as far as elevation and landscape etc, but with far different gameplay.

It might look wierd, but that is the desired effect, wierd or not.

Or you could alter the existing ones at a moment's notice to make drastic changes in the landscape, like, say the player buys a land deed and wants to put down a house, we can flatten the area where the house will be, so that it can sit evenly, say an event calls for a giant meteor to strike the planet, you can bet there will be a crater.

Reuploading and reuploading during gameplay (if the server is crowded) could cause crashes , no?

Won't know until it's crowded, will we?

But if it will crash, it'll take a lot of time to fix the problem.

does it actually reupload or just change some vars?

could pose problems having a graal person walking behind an iso building, would you have drawover tiles? or use ganis? it would be a real pain in the but like this, heh. But nonetheless you have done what most if not all of us could not; convert to iso. very interesting, i will keep an eye out on this project, rae. I must say Great work, succeeding in where zen has failed (and he hardly ever fails mind you), i wish i could do that sometime ;-) no hard feelings zen!

Keep an eye on the project, but your eye won't move much if Zero doesn't communicate a little more. :| I hope it's just christmas, and will return to normal after the holidays. I'm not very religious or family oriented, so the only thing that changes for me during the holiday season is my friends are harder to get ahold of.
