Windows v6 beta test

I've noticed an issue when it comes to playing both mainfile and custom sound effects, sometimes they play, sometimes they don't.

For example, using putleaps() will play sounds such as crush.wav and water.wav, but using a custom gani of a leap which plays crush.wav or water.wav won't invoke the sound.

Yes it's an optimization which prevents offscreen sounds (far-away sounds) to play, sometimes it's not correctly detected for ganis, can check this sometime.

It was also happening with sounds played from within a weapon.

I've now noticed similarly weird behaviour with playing music.

And certain sounds not playing when the screen is minimised, even if they're intended as an alert.

Wait, there is actually no check for position on PC Graal. But the volume could be very low depending on where it's played, need to check it. If you want to avoid the pan/volume effect you can try to use play2(filename,player.x,player.y,1)

The lack of bush hiding sfx (among many other sounds) makes this the worst update imaginable.

The tender crackle of leaves gleefully forming around my figure as I dart away to avoid pk is what makes Graal for me. Without, there is nothing.

It doesn't matter what size I make it, drawobject won't draw ganis like that past 64,64. Drawimage works fine and I can draw them anywhere on the screen, even past 64,64. It seems to be a bug with drawobject when you are trying to draw an object you created. If you use drawobject to draw the player it works fine, but not when you use findimg with a gani.

Those sounds should play fine... I've uploaded the sound files to all servers just to make sure, dynamic midi download will work with the next update of the gserver.

Yes can fix it, it's clipping to 64x64 level coordinates.

My F# commands are not working. Maybe it's on my side, but it's rather annoying. I've re-installed. I can't open the player list, server list, game log or options.

(Hitting F2 does the apple emote, hitting F3 does the sleeping emote)

Ok I've checked the sound problem with showimgs/showani, it will be fixed in the next version.

There seems to be an inconsistency with the GuiTabCtrl selection event.

For example, if I do:

PHP Code:

function SomeTabCtrl.onSelect(temp.i){
  echo(temp.i SPC SomeTabCtrl.getSelectedRow());
} 


The first tab echo's "0 0", the second tab echo's "1 1", the third tab echo's "2 2", however the fourth tab echo's "2 3".

is UDP support completely dropped? or is Stefan planning on making it work properly

Parameters are id, text and index, may be you have given two tabs the same id.

Dropped for now, but might introduce it later for communication with the server but not with the other clients right now.

We'll see if this is a mistake if you ever release version 6

Majority of Graalians won't care to be honest. It is a shame but it would be nice if such smoothness and accuracy could be achieved without port-forwarding.
