Windows v6 beta test

onActionSProjectile seems to not be registering all the time... and when it does params[ 0] and params[ 1] are nullified.

Isn't that server-side?

Yes, is that normal behavior?

Well I would say it doesn't have anything to do with v6, and when used correctly then the server-side projectiles should also work fine.

Hm, understood, but params[ 0] and params[ 1] work fine in a classs script but not in a normal NPC in v6 and "sometimes" works in v5. I'll review my script.

You should include a working demo script displaying the problem when you report a bug.

well it's just generally shoot() with setshootparams() before it.

[Luda]

I am unable to see npcs I use on the overworld (bombs), it could just be UN though.

[MrOmega]

resolved my issue with projectiles, seems that when you call onActionSProjectile again in a different script it doesnt return params[ 0] and params[ 1].

[Deas_Voice]

on Graal Kingdoms, you can't see any text, inventory, chat etc.

is this just happening on there or is it the client?

[joel34]

Graal has stopped working.
Windows is looking after a solution on the problem.

I get that when i try to open Graal v6.
Does anybody else get it? Or is it just me?

You should really be using http://forums.graalonline.com/forums...hp?t=134257598

Also, that really doesn't provide any useful information. I got that you use Windows but what Windows? XP,Vista,Windows 7, 3.11? 32/64bit? Service Packs?

Provide details of your hardware and verify if your drivers up to date.

Also check your game_console.log for any useful indications.

Theres alot of details you will need to provide before anyone could even begin to diagnose...

Windows vista, 32-bit.

And to Stefan, Yes i downloaded it yesterday.

I got this while attempting to run it on Vista 32 bit in XP compatibility mode which was a relic from V5, worked once I set it to run normally.

This is an old bug which exists for far too long. When the player dies (default systems), images on layers 4 and above seem to simply disappear or get destroyed or something else I can't think of, forcing us coders to recreate them when the player dies.

Fun fact: To try this, I echoed the image's x position upon death (onPlayerDies). It should've been 9, but returned 30.5 on v5, and 31 on v6. Strange stuff happens there.

[Admins]

I did some /clientstats of v6 users on Zodiac and Era today. The two main speed problems:
- for players with older graphics card such as the Intel built-in stuff the tiles drawing is quite slow (up to 40% CPU time), will need to fix that
- on Era the -Movement script (onTimeout()) is taking tons of CPU time even if the player is not moving at all, the script is taking around 30-50% CPU time; will have to debug a little which parts of that are slow and help to speed it up I guess; there is a lot of anti-hacker things, may be those can be improved

[Admins]

We have improved the speed on Era a little bit (by speeding up the nick name display for NPCs which was done in the movement system/-Nicknames). The tiles drawing for inside levels will be modified a little bit so that it eventually also fixed problems with transparent blackness.

We have also updated the options:
- playerlist docking should work again
- the option for displaying the playerlist in-game should work again
- PMs and history should also display in-game when you have that option enabled
- on Windows you have a new checkbox 'Cache filenames for faster startup'
- removed some older 3D and voice chat options

can we have a linux update already? there isn't even an open beta for it!

nice to see external toggle was added. the other windows needs one too.

border, fillColor, etc don't seem to work with GuiMLTextCtrl in v6

PHP Code:

new GuiMLTextCtrl("Test_Control") {
  profile = GuiBlueMLTextProfile;
  useOwnProfile = true;
  profile.border = 1;
  profile.opaque = true;
  profile.fillColor = {192, 224, 255, 200};
  profile.fontColor = {0, 0, 0};
        
  text = "Test";
  // Rest removed for brevity
} 


The above works fine in V5 and displays the MLTextCtrl with the colored background and border, but in V6, it lacks the border and fill color.

Also,

PHP Code:

new GuiTextCtrl("Test_Text") {
  profile = GuiBlueTextProfile;
  useOwnProfile = true;
  profile.fontStyle = "i";
      
  text = "Some text that should be italicized";
  // rest removed for brevity    
} 


This no longer italicizes text as it did in V5. I haven't tested with other controls.

I've noticed this too on some fonts. It seems we also need to upload the italic and bold versions of the font aswell. e.g. verdanai.ttf

I feel like there's an event that I'm missing or something that has to apply to the above, I thought it was onPlayerEnters but obviously not.

How do you do that? I suck at computers.

[fowlplay4]

Google "compatibility mode" and it'll be the first result.

..or take a look at the properties of a program by right clicking it, and see how far you can modify the settings. Every new version of Windows OS is supposed to include compatibility modes of previous versions.

[Admins]

The new windows version v5.309 has been released
(http://www.graalonline.com/downloads..._windows.zip):

- The default keys (escape, F1 etc.) have been reworked and now use script. There are new events onControlKeyDown/Up with parameters keycode,keytext,scancode and window name. Closing the default external windows with escape key should work much better now. Pressing Escape in the main game window will show a scripted external window now for the quit dialog. We will be able to change this behaviour by script.
- Filebrowser enhancement: in the scripted RC you can now double-click on files to open the file in the default viewer or editor
- Allows to edit the position of external windows by script:
GuiWindowCtrl.externalwindow (object)
TWindow.bounds, position, extent, x, y, width, height, screenbounds, screenwidth, screenheight (these are the attributes of the external window)
- Adds GuiTextListCtrl.setSelectedRows() and setSelectedByIds()

[fowlplay4]

The issue with waitfor and return values has also been fixed. Thanks.

I'm having troubles with the client freezing when I get to the serverlist. Works completely fine on older version

We have identified a problem with npcs which are not showcharacter() and use particles (visible size of the npc is updating each frame), it's crashing the game. We will fix it as soon as possible.

Ok buddy keep up the good work.

A new version v5.313 has been uploaded to the usual location (http://www.graalonline.com/downloads...al_windows.zip).

I've updated to latest client and it freezes for a split second every second. The frequency seems constant. It started to happen as soon as I logged into Era iPhone.

On Era iPhone it might be the playerlist

Perhaps not so much of a bug but I knew that within V5 while on a GMAP showimg type displays would not display while the parent NPC was not visible on your screen, this now seems to be the case with non-GMAP levels too in V6, for example:





I've since noticed it is possible to prevent by setting a shape on the NPC but would it be possible for there to be some form of server option or npc variable to prevent this?
Setting a shape doesn't solve the problem of NPCs that display things on your screen similarly to a HUD not working properly as a result of the NPC itself not being visible, which happens in our Spar Arena for instance.

I've also now noticed that you have to be more careful with variable names, for instance in one weapon script I had:

PHP Code:

function onCreated(){
  dash = this;
} 


In another weapon script I had:

PHP Code:

if(dash != NULL){
  temp.dash = dash.attemptDash();
  if(temp.dash){
    return;
  }
} 


In V5 this worked fine but in V6 this caused the global variable "dash" to be set to NULL after the first time the function was called, I figured it would be because of the temp.var also being named "dash" and changing it fixed it but is this supposed to be happening now?

happened to me too, but then there was a new update available so i downloaded it and it was fixed. :o

player.dontBlock(), player.blockAgain(), and player.setShape() don't seem to work at all in v6.

[DustyPorViva]

There seems to be a glitch with showimg on indexes under 200(I THINK, it only happens on v6, not v5). On UN there is a weapon called Halloween/Broom. However, when I get off the broom, the script fades away a shadow showimg. But in v6 because of this, the body of my player gets glitched and starts fading whenever I'm idle.

[Tim_Rocks]

Not sure what's causing this, but every time I try to connect to a server I Graal seems to crash with this error.
