I always figured that was UN giving external windows a go without actually doing it properly then being lazy and not fixing it or at least making it internal again. Bad on UN that they didn't test it in a separate weapon.

That said, I know coordinates differ internally that externally as I always had to do a a (isexternal ? x : x) for positions

I haven't checked, but after an hour of gameplay it would be easy to assume the log window gets pretty large during a single session, yeah.

Seems to be a problem of the script, like using fixed font size for calculation of the text.

The problem might be that some tilesets are containing transparent pixels, someone should fix the tileset if that is not intended.

Happens on pics1 lol.

Still wanting to check out how this beta performs...

[MrOmega]

I'm intrigued too, and I wonder how soon.

[Catbert]

It ain't Stefan's fault... he tried so hard but he's still a victim of these streets...

I was reading this in some update file:

PHP Code:

when another game (or another Graal window) is going into fullscreen then
    Graal is correctly reinitialized after closing the other game 


but this is not working for me. If I hold the Windows key and press L to switch users, then I log back into my username, Graal will be frozen and I have to restart it. This is quite annoying because it's automatically doing this every time I go AFK and screensaver pops up. Also in Windows 7/Vista, if a window pops up asking for permission to use administrator privileges it will freeze Graal permanently until I restart it.

Resize the window and it will work again

What?!?!? Public Beta?!?!?

[jkldogg]

what???? where's the beta download link????????????


EDIT:

Stefan please make v6 not lag on windows 7 thanks

OpenGL mode isn't even playable for me, I can't even test it.

[fowlplay4]

Player profiles MLText (well pretty much all of them) controls like to mess up when the quotes are too long. The text should automatically reflow (or whatever resizing does that fixes it) when it's changed anyway.

[fowlplay4]

Double-clicking the tabs on the playerlist seems to open PMs, kind of annoying imo.

Bug: You can't receive tile data from any layers above 0, see here for example:

Who all is in the private beta for V6?

[MrOmega]

What's so majorly wrong with V6 that's preventing it from going to public beta?

Nothing is majorly wrong with V6 from what I've read... unless the "shaky player movement" bug still exists, I'd say it's ready for public use.

A new version will soon be released:
- fixed the title bar icon
- works better as plugin inside browser (internet explorer) again
- rotatable body sprites
- speed improvements with in-game text rendering
- particles support text and ganis again
- the showimg shadow color is now multiplied with the alpha value
- extended screenshot functions (makescreenshot2, makescreenshotgame, makescreenshotfull)

We should probably also have this http://forums.graalonline.com/forums...hp?t=134259103 added too.

[Crono]

can spar rating and HP not cover up player text? for example if i type hi and get hit, the other player will just see my current HP. would be nice if HP/Spar rating moved up when a player has text over their heads. :>

Is there anything that could be done about the lag that is produced by the client? On the old client I would hit small lag patches here and there because of my internet connection, but now that I installed v6 it is an almost constant thing.

Also can something be done about the new scripted RC client? When you go to move the RC window it streaks all across the screen until it is released. It is not a huge deal but does get annoying.

I already reported this problem on the main screen, but it's only happening on Windows XP and below. I'm not sure if he plans to fix this or not.

[MrOmega]

Need these files added to Login. (Also tried Login2)

NPC Code:

---

File download: loginserver_en.po not found

File download: verdanabd.ttf not found

File download: microsoft sans serif.ttf not found

File download: tahomabd.ttf not found

File download: login_icon_developer34.png not found

File download: login_icon_developer102.png not found

---

as for the last two, not really to sure, All my server icons are there, but I do have one question, how can we change our server's icon?

Using Windows Vista the first thing I noticed was that dragging a window causes a replicate display:



Second thing I noticed was a slight border display error with what is a guistyle/.wba which wasn't occurring with V5:



I'm not really able to test further very easily as it runs at an extremely slow speed, my best guess would be that this is the result of not currently having the bitmap fonts option as script times were not excessive, better than on V5 infact:



Checking CPU usage within task manager seemed good too, although opening task manager prevented me from being able to re-open the client having minimized it.

This isn't a glitch. It doesn't happen in newer versions (why the **** are you using Vista anyway?) of Windows so Stefan said he wasn't going to take the time to fix it.
