GS2 Support

I know this has probably been covered at some point, but it would be nice to have GScript2 support in the Level Editor to make it easier to work on, well, anything.

It would be difficult because the entire GS2 scripting engine would have to be recoded into the Level editor, which would probably make it laggy to the extreme.

Maybe there could be an online compiler set up, and when you have npcs in an offline level you can click a compile button and the scripts would be sent to a special online server to be compiled and sent back to the client.

What if you're not connected to the internet?

Edit: You'd also need a server to run the scripts to begin with, and I doubt Stefan or Unixmad would allow a server to be run on each client just for GraalEditor...

You play Graal without internet?

And my real answer would be: sucks for you, stick to GS1.

I still think there should be something akin to the old RC's you could host on your computer, except being able to host an NC and having the level editor connect to it.

Stefan isn't going to let anyone get ahold of such files to be able to run your own server.

This is the best solution I can think of right now, to have to login to your account before you can use the GS2 compiler, that way abuse can be limited by allowing only a certain amount of compiles per account within a timeframe, like how the forum limits you from posting twice within a certain amount of time.

What do you mean such files? It's just an exe that turns your computer into a server, you don't get access to any files.

Actually, I should change what I said before. I think if this were to ever happen, which it won't, that would be the way to go.

No, that won't be done. Then people could figure out how to have the gserver easier. This is never going to be added. There will never be GS2 support offline. Of course, Stefan is working oh so hard on the online editor, right? (Oh wait, that was supposed to be done a year ago)

The Scripted RC was a project that was supposed to be completed a long time ago, but it was very neglected before I picked it up and made one. Stefan was very supportive and helped me with the gserver side of things, adding all of the support in the gserver where I needed it such as new request/sendtexts and better functionality of existing ones.

Now Mac users all over Graal can use the Scripted RC, because I wanted to use RC on a Mac and made one.

You could do just the same, and make a level editor for online use.

I read on one of Stefan's post that people would be able to host their own GServers (and/or possibly NPC-Servers I don't remember completely)

Wow, you people are paranoid. The Gserver was already released before, and that's as close as people can get to 'figuring' out how to host a server, yet no one somehow manipulated that exe to run servers for the current Graal. And this wouldn't be a gserver, or an RC, it'd just be the NPC server.
Of course, it's purely hypothetical, as we all know it'll never happen.

The source was released, logically it could happen.

Big whoop? Graal is also an exe, does that mean they're going to stop releasing it because someone could manage to get the source code out of it?

...?

The source code of the gserver was leaked (1.39). A mediocre programmer could easily have it work for something, at least Version 2.00+
