Windows v6 beta test

[TSAdmin]

Hmm, not sure if this is fixed with your login2 stuff or not, Tig. I've mostly been using the login2, but just noticed one thing without them:

-F2 messages (sendRPGMessage(); ) do not update unless the F2 window is already open. Noticed this while levelling on GK and using /skills

Yes, I've noticed that too, I think the problem with that is that it's not logging messages unless you open it at least once (then you can close it again and experience no problems). Maybe I can get that fixed.

I noticed something on GK with the boats where the script is trying to update the players location in relation to the boat but it doesn't seem to be working in v6. Perhaps there's a slight downfall in support for this. As with 90% of my bug reports, here's a short video to show you the bug in action:


As usual, if you get An error occurred. Please try again later, check back again after 5 or so minutes. The video may not be "Live" yet.
Also, sorry about the MSN and Trillian sounds in the background!

All I see is the captain wanting his booty. Yes, I really just did that.

That is not new and not a bug. Scripts are not meant to be able to read from the root Graal folder.

~ Reminder: Don't forget to pack the icons!

Delete your FILENAMECACHE.txt.

That is Windows-specific, Windows is freezing the process. The only way to solve that would be to create another process for the player list, but that would be too complex and not really worth the effort. So it is not planned to add that anytime soon. In newer generations of Windows it is fixed.

Wiggling an ingame window back and forth minimizes the client.

Character appears to "tear" when moving. For example if you run in a direction and hold, say, shift+v you will sit and move in that direction while sitting. On the old client this is smooth, but on the new one the head appears to "bob" back and forth. This happens on all ganis, kind of reminds me of when your screen tears due to really high FPS so "tearing" is the only way I can describe it.

Hmm, I'm unable to replicate this. What are your computer specs and stuff? Could you maybe explain it differently?

he means that if u shake the titlebar on, for example, the external clientrc, all other windows get minimized, this is a windows 7 effect.
i get it too, but i dont see any problem in it, unless the external windows are meant as 1 window(graal), not multiply windows(graal,playerlist,clientrc).

• if a window (example, Scripted-RC) is open, and u press the hotkey again (F6) you close the window instead of bringing it to the front ( in the client, not the window )

i get this too, on windows 7.

Yes, these are because there is no showtop() or makefirstresponder effects, it's on the main page

I get this too and it's really annoying. I figured it was just my crappy laptop, obviously not.

I've found I cannot jump off the cliffs I could normally jump off in v5. I tested on N-Pulse and Zodiac.

I've attached a picture of the cliffs I was trying to jump off. Instead of jumping, I just start trying to push the cliffs over while I had some people jumping down the cliffs next to me.

Ok fixed, was already wondering why it doesn't work on Classic iPhone. We have added some modifications for making some classic stuff working on gmap but it bugged the jump tile detection.

Oh, well, I got both Windows and Linux from Skyld. Maybe both versions isn't up to date (which is causing my problem on Linux).
