Is this going to be optional or compeltely enforced?

As of right now there is no option to turn it off... it works by censoring what YOU say, not other players. Therefore I don't really see a way to have the option to censor out what everyone else says.

If there was the option to turn it off, you'd see some people using profanity and other people not. Which wouldn't really make much sense.

It only stars out the offensive word, if you said like "this server (profanity) rocks!" then it would show up in game like "this server ******* rocks!"

I think you should change the script. If Player A has it off, then he sees any and all profanity that is seen. If Player B has it on, he doesn't see any.

It should be on an individual basis.

Yeah but that's totally different from what we have... My scripting knowledge is lacking as of late... but I think having the script grab everybody else's chat text, check it, and then change it, every some odd seconds... would be kind of laggy.

=(

I just really hate it when you're talking with a friend and you happen to say something (that might actually not even be that bad) and it's blocked. Just don't go too far with it. Only cover the big words. If it goes overboard then it's stupid.

[DarkHero]

finally.... if 2001 comes back.. so would i ... i miss that server.... other than bravo this is the only reason i played graal haha

[GryffonDurime]

Indeed. Should be interesting to see how it's all finalized, especially given early plans for these ends.

[brock128]

If you can't make the filter optional, then you can't.

It's not like I won't try 2k1 again.

First draft of the elephant revision:



and the old one just for fun:

[Shaun]

Looking at that Mario-esque sprite has me wondering why there isn't a server in the style of SMRPG

[Draenin]

Perhaps because that's a pretty blatant rip-off.

hm.. If you explain how that'd work.. something can be arranged =P.
I've been constantly trying to find some new server ideas about stuff.. though I am currently working on one which I will explain more about sometime.

( And yes.. I have played Mario RPG (on snes) before =o )

[WanDaMan]

Very impressive, you should do more different types of Elephants =D!

Ohmy, Elephant breeding1!

Well so far you'll be able to ride it like before. Plus you'll be able to siphon water in it's trunk and spray water over a larger area. Which will be good for watering a lot of crops or putting out a bunch of fire or whatever.

If anyone can think of other uses for them... like trunks grabbing something... or trampling something... or whatever, just post the ideas here.

I can tell you that I plan on making it a lot more in depth... for an elephant. It will make noises and possibly kneel down and rest, and also if you are near it while it's stomping around your screen will shake a bit... and if you're riding on it the screen shakes even more. So that's pretty cool I think.

[Crono]

be able to grab players for fun, players press a button to escape XD

[Griffyn]

This thread has made me slightly aroused.

Make it so you can't be attacked by other players on it. That'd be kind of cool.

Oh, and are you making it a permanent pet?

[ZeroTrack]

We can make it attackable, but if you hit it i am gonna make it be able to pick you up and throw you across the overworld hahaha =p

[smirt362]

Like I said in the other thread.
Small mouse creatures that run arround and make the elephants freak and stampede.

[xAndrewx]

shake that ass for me =D
Looking good, I really can't wait :]

Curse you! All I rmemeber is I played Graal back in Russia on my 37kb Modem haha, I though I moved to Canada in 1999 o.0 guess ti was 2000, meh.

[KuJi]

I remember the day elven lands was shutdown.

I was on and EL2k1 was forming in which Heyhost destroyed it =o. I recall hack trying to upload a backup and Heyhost would delete and reupload EL2k1 or whatever.

Anyway, I remember the:
This server has been shutdown.

message =D

Sword Display ftw. Then 2.0 = that green one. Then around 2.1 or so it got revised w/ darker colors.. I think the entire display was changed from your login after you click start to the main screen around 2.1 or so.

[warp2ukew]

The elephant(s) would be nice for kingdom vs kingdom RP attacks, "Emperor Brad, Dustari has created a bridge for their elephants to storm our castle!"

[killerogue]

This will own. But koni you still haven't told me if I'm hired.

Yes the kings are going to be NPC's to avoid corruption in the kingdom

The NPCs are ultimately controlled by someone, it is improbable that you will build a completely self aware NPC on Graal, it is too complex, so someone will have to input information, most likely a staff member, and they're just as likely to do something corrupt as any other player. The idea is stupid, and I'm willing to bet that if you made a King NPC, it'd be ignored completely, and the person next in line would act as the King.

Stupid idea, we'll see how it's carried out.

[GryffonDurime]

While I still disagree, rabidly, with the NPC King concept, I will at least reserve final judgement for the execution of the idea.

Besides, there's plenty of other redeeming ideas in the docs.
