My plans for Era

That's beyond our control to fix, it's a problem with the projectile functionality in Graal.

Did you try to script your own "bullet handler"? Not quite sure how the outcome would be though.

However, I really like your plans, if you can realise them Era's playercount will certainly rise.

The idea to only trade items in the Mall is fascinating, I don't like the "search tool" you're going to make though. Why don't you let them players just walk around and look at items, instead of automating everything?

Era is already probably using an insane amount of resources. Scripting custom projectiles to handle hundreds of bullets flying at the same time would murder the server, and probably have Stefan on their ASAP slapping them around.

Those bullets have to be handled right now too, so if you script it clean and performant you shouldn't feel any difference.

Projectiles are handled by the NPC-server, which is coded. The difference between the code handling them(very efficiently, per Stefan's words) and gscript is vastly different.

Oh I see! The NPC Server is obviously written in a programming language.

Now it's clear, thanks.

And yet you couldn't see why this would be more efficient that scripting something to handle custom projectiles.

They're handled by the client, actually, though the NPC-server does handle them serverside.

Well most of the data is handled by the NPC server on the global level, which is what I was implying would be the most intensive to replicate. Clientside just handles the visual aspect, I'm pretty sure.

The default projectiles are hardcoded. A huge advantage over any stuff written in GS2.

I stopped reading a "realise".
