(I was gone when this was made and just happened to have found it while searching for something.)

It is possible to make online level editors...in fact, I made one. It still has some bugs in it and stuff I want to addon, but it worked. I started messing with it a couple of nights changing some stuff around and had to get off before I could have it working again, and haven't had a chance to work on it anymore.

There's a serverside function, hasright(rights,level) that checks to see if you have those certain rights or not to that level...There's also a serverside updateboard2, which is the same as updateboard, syntax-wise and all, except saves the level permenantly, though it does take some time.

I wouldn't recommend making one now though, considering Stefan is working on the new improved and more powerful scripting engine. It's supposed to have reverse compatibility, but it'd probally still be best to wait on that.

Yes, that would be very helpful.

Yes, that would be useful, but you would need to put accounts in some sort of a list to use it so not just anyone could edit a level. I would assume that list could go in server options. But yeah, good idea :P

That's what hasright() is for...It'd be pointless to have a server option for accounts which can use it when that's there. If they have w access to a level, then they could do whatever if they're in that server option or not.

Graal v3 will only support online level editing.
Or that is what I heard.

It could be done but would probably lag the server..
Tiles can be edited clientside but to change them to all players putnpc2 would work well..

But would it lag?

Why would you use putnpc2 to change tiles?

I said in my first post that updateboard2 saves the level...that's also assuming the server option is there too, I think it's savelevels=true...might be wrong. If you make it right, there wouldn't be a whole lot of lag.

And yes, v3 will have a built-in level editor...no more offline.

:o
my oppinion in this are simple, if you are lazy people that cant open a folder and move the file to the levels folder on rc, yes it would be a good idea

myself i just see this as pointless and lazyness.

It's a whole lot more convenient to just be able to edit the level online and allow everyone to see an instant change.

And what about people who have full access to levels and lag like hell whenever they open the levels/ folder? I know how that is, before I had set rights I had full access to levels and it took forever to open the levels folder, and lagged the hell out of me.

umm, showimg doesn't change levels...it only shows an image for the client.

updateboard2 is a serverside command which Stefan added to make PERMENANT changes to levels, assuming the server option savelevels is equal to true.

There is also a clientside command, updateboard, which makes the changes for the client only.

This would be much easier, that way you don't have to bring everything offline, then upload through FTP..someone should script this for admins so that they can edit stuff and then save it like that. =D.
