Some Suggestions for Next Graal Vertion :0 And other stuff, Read?

[Birdbird_0]

Image Rotation:
The Ablity to rotate images 360 degrees! This would be great for fogg effects and alot of other nice visuals!

Y Axis scroll:
Ablity to change the axsis of graal2002's view, being able to scroll on the y axsis 15 degrees or so? might add a nice edge to gameplay.

Frame Sync and Ajustment:
Abity to ajust your max frame rate, as an option, and a scripting command for more cinimatic and other applications. As well as a type of frame sync, frames murdging with the privious frame, making a sort of motion trial, and foggy like feeling, alot of games have it already, its a must for visuals.

More Mouse Commands:
Not too sure if they already exsist, scrolling options for mouses with weels, and ablity to drag and drop, and just detection of the coursor. Along with being able to chance the coursor image over the graal window

Backtiles:
Can graal have new worlds backtiles already? It would be nice for alot of the servers out there.

Chat rooms:
Another feature added onto the pm system, ablity to create chat rooms, or join them, closed or open, pubic selling things. Using it in two ways, a seperate window such as the f7 window.

Ablity to draw text of the player?
Drawing name and chat text over or under objects or the player?
is it already posible or meh?

Intigration of Online Radio?


Mini map:
Ability to move the mini map location

RC additions:

Invisable: Will that ever be activated? Alot of people somtimes need to work online, on nc, or uploading or testing, and would rather not recive pms at all.

Block:
Yes no maybe so?

Mini Map:
Maybe a small visual of ingame locations with a drop down menu of each minmap, just a fun idea

Attributes:
Ablity to edit the persons nick name.
Seeing the persons gani based on their attributes.

2k2 Ideas:

Animation commands (More of a 2k2 suggestion):
say /sit /jump /laugh /kneel /sleep /wow /no /excited
and playing ganis, would be nice to have.

Rivers, water not at 0 elevation:
Saw it in a thread a while ago in a differnt forum.
Can it finaly be added? It would be really really ncie to have it, and a good enviormental and level enhancement



Things I thought of, duno, maybe? My two cents

[AlexH]

Hmm I like those ideas.
Are the backtiles your talking about like layering the tiles?

[Birdbird_0]

Posted this in the wrong forum DOH ><

Backtiles are, you are able to set the back tile, such as a green grass tile, and buildings don't have grass around the sides, they have pink, and the grass tile fills in the pink.

Would be better for graal to have already.

Now that would be really usefull.
Would save having to have lots of tiles for the different houses/tree stumps etc.
That seems like a pretty major thing that would make level editing easier.
Stefan should have added it a long time ago.

Basiclly, transparent tiles.

I think Stefan already said he wont add rotations since it would require directx and it would look screwed up if you don't have a good video card
also, I think there is a backtiles commands, I found setbacktile2 when I opened graal as a txt to look for the script commands

i saw somewhere Stefan agruing with a hacker and he didnt have block on it i think it was Hawk and he said darn i wish this thing had block i figured it would by now....

[adam]

I am pretty sure you can do the mouse stuff..

as for the social gani's. bah read the forum I suggested that already.

rotation would be nice.
I don't care what stefan says about the directx effects. Nobody provides alternative effects for people who can't see lighting effects. So it's already too bad for those with bad video cards. Why not go a step further.


You say a 3d terrian is easier than rotation for video cards and stuff? ok. Well I guess I don't know much.

Ohno, Matrix.

[Metal-Slug]

:-)

good ideas:
We can already see the person's gani in attributes :-) ( if you mean gani name, i think you mighta ment the actaul image though )

[cloudstrifevii]

Make it to wear it doesn't cause error's in my computer -_-

[Juron Pilo]

Before we start, I am not going to bother reading this whole thread and loose all my thoughts to new ones... that post was long enough as it is
first off I think most of those were requests for things nobodys gonna really notice or use much
the new world backtiles is rather pointless... g2k2 proved that npcs are quite capable of handling that job(or is sombody gonna tell me all that stuffs tiles? I thought we could only hold so many tiles eh stefan? 2 to the something power?)
now for a couple of specifics

*blinks*
its not so much the programing aspect here so much as the hardware aspect
GIVE OUR COMPUTERS A BREAK MAN! THATS ASKING A BIT TOO MUCH OUT OF THEM!

[Falcor]

All you need is a simple 16 meg accellerator. Im sure you could get one for under 50$

[Juron Pilo]

*sighs* the difference is that were using DirectX and not OpenGL
if we used OpenGL I would have no problems with rotation...

[Pith]

*likes the ideas*

[Juron Pilo]

I like practical suggestions=D
