Bad scripts. V4 is more picky.

graal4 is laggy, will no longer load on my comp, has messed up fonts (even after you fix it for in game, the other stuff is messed up) so I dont ever use it. However, I do wish to make my server compatible with it, but I have no idea why my server isn't and is this a bad script? Because this didn't work for some people using v4

NPC Code:

---

//#CLIENTSIDE

if(created){

  dontblock;

  drawunderplayer;

}

---

You're simply not coding in GScript 2, that's the problem. I suggest you upgrade all your scripts so they're readable, and compatible with Graal4, via Gscript2

[napo_p2p]

That script should work fine with v4.

[excaliber7388]

I know; should work
x_X
anyway, I would switch to gs2, if I knew that it wouldn't mean shutting down DR (because none of the npcs work) and then having to learn another form of scripting to make them work again

What on Earth are you talking about?

Old gscript is fully supported in Graal 4.

Could have fooled me

I know it is, but I get alot of lag when playing on Gs1 servers with Graal 4, that's my point.

[excaliber7388]

V4 lags everywhere for me ;(
but anyway, since GS1 is not the problem, what is the problem with V4?

[Codein]

Might be a shot in the dark, but maybe your system specs are not up to scratch, or you've got some processes running that are taking up a tonne of memory.

I sometimes get alot of lag on 2.3 and 4 when I have LimeWire and FireFox open. (Amounting to about 100mb out of 512mb of memory being used by 2 programs)

I sense Skyld has a knife.

Dude...

In reality, your server isn't going anywhere. Can you honestly look at those levels and think they compare to any decent Dev server?

And quit with the 'I'm going for the classic look crap.' Because, even though you may be, no one will play your server if it's doing the 'classic look.' Most people don't play the revivals of servers that originally had the classic look just because they aren't fun and get boring after about 10 minutes.

The only reason any of us like the classic look is because it brings back some nostalgia from our old Graalian days. The only playerbase you are going to get is a few oldbies who hop on for a few minutes and then run off. New players have no reason to play. They have bigger and better servers to go to.

Scrap the project and try again.

I'd rather oldbies than noobies anyway, we are taking a step away from the clasic look, we're relying on things like music, quests, etc to bring back that clasic feel if you dont like it, you're in luck, DR1 and 3 will have little to no clasic elements in them...I do miss clasic graal ;( i wish people could see the beauty of levels with plain grass, and a few taller areas thrown in XD now that i think back, i should have just used the old tileset anyway, about the tileset, we are working on a new one that will change the feel of DR a lot

You don't understand what I'm saying. Let's say that your playerworld was put on the classic playerlist today. After a week you would have an average player-base of less than 5.
