When is Graal3d coming out!?

[protagonist]

Why doesn't 2k1 just have a reset player script hooked up to a string array?

Meaning from what I've heard about the project, isn't neccessarily going to be true

Man, these acronyms are getting out of hand.

Too inefficient, according to certain members of the staff.

From what I'm supposing, that's going to be pretty inefficient to work up such a script for something that happens very rarely.
EDIT: But then again, maybe it's not.

[protagonist]

It hardly requires any scripting whatsoever. It'd be more efficient than not doing it at all.

This has been said many times before. It is touched upon in the following thread.

Also mentioned here.
A more detailed reason was brought up somewhere else, but I don't have the time nor patience to go looking for it.
I believe one reason is the fact that the script requires the player to be online for it to work. Therefore, people that have information stored on the server, and haven't/won't connect for some time to come, would still have the old flags, items etc.

Yes, it is. Which is why I also wonder why they think it's inefficient.

As soon as Unix resets the accounts on 2K1.

[protagonist]

The point is, they don't need to wait for unixmad. There is no fault by adding a simple reset script that adds account names to a string array and /sendtorc /reset #a.

Note to whoever mentioned flags: You can't add flags to the account to tell it to reset, because they flags are removed from the account when the reset happens. This creates a paradox of resetting.

As soon as stefan stops working on 2k2, and needs a new "love child". What? He abandoned Classic, and 2k1, both were very popular, so he makes a new server? Basically, everybody's just going to follow stefan, whenever he feels like making somthing different.

[AlkarenHyralt]

Quite simply, never. Should have guessed that from the start. There hasn't been a fully completed major project since 2k2 was released.

That's a very risky way to ask things on the graal forums. But we don't know. ;x

The new scripting engine is being worked on first.
And at some point the PW rating system needs to be developed.
As well as a new RC.

Yo, that method isn't failsafe, someone couldn clear the strings, plus then you have to mantain the script, since string arrays have a limit on how long they can be

It's been said a lot, the new RC is going to be done with the new script engine, right now I think I'm in charge of the project, which is going pretty well, progress is limited since now all the things needed to make it are made

I think he was talking about the new scriptng engine.
