IS SPIDER THE BSET EVER?

[Admins]

Geovanie please say 'not good enough yet' instead
of 'failed', and 'good quality' instead of 'passed'.
An important thing of pw testing is to not
hurt people or making them too much hope
in getting the server up.
I have seen Murasamune some weeks ago,
I saw good baddies and weapons but
the overworld was ugly/chaotic, have you made
a new one? I would also need it to see if its really good.

[Admins]

Geovanie I didn't say that your reviews were bad.
Just don't say something that sounds to definitive
-Failed- sounds like it it '****', people will hate you
if you reject playerworlds by saying 'Failed', don't know

Trueheat: N-pulse must be good,
many people play there. Also Teir'dal just went up
and will be improved, its already a nice hangout
place. Testing playerworlds is actually different
than managing one. You can be a good tester
because you know many things etc. and can
analyze it good, while you are not be able to
make good levels yourself. Or you can be a very good
level maker but fail in testing players (like me :-) I like
everything except it has misplaced tiles)

[Admins]

I will try to find the ORIGINAL cd agua levels not
the stuff you saw on the server.

[Admins]

Arg I found them but they have scripting
problems (say0; etc.)

[Admins]

The original levels are really nice, you
have a story with some characters etc.

[Admins]

souldblade when reading your post
I feel good about not allowing Murasamune
to be on as server yet

We don't need another server with a few levels
and some testing npcs.
Faheria, ToT and Frolic are like testing servers too
but at least their owners like the game.

[Admins]

What I have seen yet of M are
some testng npcs and weapons and
chaotic levels which someone said will be
be replaced, then I saw a generated overworld,
not more. Do you really think that could
beat existing playerworlds? I know that not
all playerworlds are very good, but I often see
nice stuff, e.g. on Atlantis, Frolic, Faheria.
I only hear complaining about that your
server is not put up, but not work in making your
stuff better so that it gets up. I have seen
some other nice examples of graphics and stuff
that will be put up on M (?) but have not seen in
action,

It's getting annoying to hear people complaining
about stuff and saying they will make a much better
game that beats Graal 100 times,
but cannot do a few levels and npcs of quality
to prove they can make a half-way good
playerworld

[Admins]

?
Also complaining about that I don't do events so often
anymore is strange, when I did them then
often many people complained because people
are just there to speak with me or they complain
that I 'play' instead of working on the game

Stefan is abused by the players
If we players started to pay more respect to Stefan and stop peekeying him when he is doing events and stop complaining at him generally he might be able to have fun on Graal again, maybe take part in the toalls again!

Am I wrong Stefan?

People just don't see that more gets done if
they just give me their ideas not first complaining
how bad it is and that it is crappy and with their
help it would be better and comments like
'thats it, I quit Graal' (after I have added golf)
and 'ok now that you have put it on you have time
for solving my problems' not seeing that Graal2001
content is may be 20% of my work

[Admins]

I would seriously suggest an ideas form where people can submit
new ideas to an email like

we have a forum for it ...

The players don't see how hard you guys work. Some think that you are lazy, but other people see that you work hard. The stupid ones, which there are MANY of, tend to not think first and do. It's hard, I bet, to do what you do, we need to show at least, some sympathy, and give you alot of credit for what you do.

Thanks
The thing is that if you want to get a server space
you must convince me/us/the Graal community to
put it up. If you do your own game project then that will
not be a problem (because you own it ;-) but you cannot
use the already existing work put in Graal and
cannot let someone professionaly do they work.
You will need to spend tons of hours working on
the game engine, network code, server, npc stuff,
possibly organize some money, running and protecting
the server etc. I have never really got time to
work on the content, it was more about
'nice idea I will add it if doesn't take much time'.
For newworld we are doing it different, hopefully
it turns out good. For you it is probably different:
you can concentrate on the content

[Admins]

It's about the little things
For a game like Graal (offline mode only)
you would need to code:
- reading images (gifs, pngs, mngs)
- drawing images (DirectX)
- drawing light effects
- switching between fullscreen/window mode
- playing sound and music
- joystick support
- sharing of images for different objects
- level files + level editor + level generator
- animation files + editor
- npc script parsing
- script commands
- script debugger
- configuration panels
The basic Graal offline stuff has been made
on one single day, so you can imagine that
it could possible be done in a few months
if good programmers work on it.

For online mode:
- server which stores accounts, sends it to the
player at login, saves it all few minutes, sends
data between players
- client-side network code
- special player interaction stuff like
PMs, chatting, profiles, guilds
- data compression and encryption
- automatically downloading updated levels
and graphics
- npcserver which controls dynamic obects in the
game
- tools for administration
- website tools for account creation
- configuring the server machine,
which includes making it unhackable
and updating it all few days to prevent future
hacks; also the machine needs to improved
in speed, meaning testing and installing
different libraries and kernels etc.

[Admins]

I forgot the community and money stuff:
you will see that you need to change the
server often because its expensive,
and people are leaving the project or
trying to destroy it or just needed to
be motivated or trying to demotivate you

[Admins]

Does this vB has a refresh function so when people
post stuff the page is automatically updated? :-)

You have confused me greatly...

Just submit the latest version please

[Admins]

Faheria graphics are nice

[Admins]

Everyone can read these forums

[Lyndzey8000]

Oh an oldbie server?
Are you needing boats like the fisher boat
or do you better want to wait till I have added
the attach-object-to-object thing (where you can
move on the boat) ?

COOL! People might actually pay for the boat now =P

[Mr. Bear]

do it again and watch me.
when you curse towards others to offend them or directly to them its against rules.
I don't care if you think your some god you follow those rules; ed of story.

[Mr. Bear]

negative, you starting trouble and you think noone will take care of your dirty mouth that noone wants to hear.

[Mr. Bear]

Actually it is something but for saying this im going to get killed by someone.

[Cloud_X]

The only way Ill like bravo is if racoondog or zeth or even possibly Furby Slayer become the owner.

[Cloud_X]

I would prefer the original original owners.

[Cloud_X]

All the old levels i think are gone =[

[Cloud_X]

Even if it doesnt die.........something will be coming that will kill it =]

actually I thought shadrock was leaving after completing Faheria=?

[Cloud_X]

Faheria has nice graphics however, why did they make the same mistake on some levels the grass is to plainish. there is so much it should be nicer in like patches and such to make it look nicer

[Cloud_X]

add a sign that is forced to read before entering the world saying made by Racoondog,Zeth, and Cloud X and im fine with it.

[Cloud_X]

me and racoondog were working on that but it died do to certain troubles with the current brvao

I'll make ya the bet then. Script a whole new bomy,flamethrower, make ALL of the custom gifs that I have made, make 57 new bomy gifs, (not sent in yet), make the day/night work WITHOUT the overworld NPC server. THEN AND ONLY THEN will I believe you can do it. OO yea while ur at it make the swingset and the whole park! Hell! Even make the pinball! Go script a brand new bank system. Over 700 lines of scripting in a bank system. See if you can make it in 2 hours. I'd like to see ya try.

700 LINES?

KYLE IS GOING TO GO INTO SEIZURE MODE!

THAT IS HILARIOUS! HAHA!

Rain lags up the screen. And I know scripters who are FAR ahead of Night Ninja and have made multiple NPC's for the NPC server and they all know how to make a Day/Night script.

[freddyfox]

Originally posted by Kaimetsu


Rain doesn't have to lag. It depends on the scripting.

Yeah, and Neonight, ToT has a weather system and anybody with half a brain could make day & night.

If you've ever seen X's weather system, you'll know where my hate comes from.

I was one of the first people to experiment with day/night, didn't get too far, though. Managed to get it to change from night - day frequently. Of course, I'm better at levels than scripting.

[freddyfox]

Would you mind taking it to another topic, you two?
