Btw: clear up your PM folder please.

I haven't time to sort out out 500 PMs. I have no firewall and yes, it is ACTIVE x.

Ah, okay. So I am not able to send you a weblink to solve your problem.

's why I have such high hopes for the Global Gralat. It'd be cool if there was a Global Graal Economy, and you can farm on Kingdoms to save up money for a new gizmo on Zone and vice versa - pick a game where you like the Earn Money technique (but one that doesn't just GIVE it away) and do your power-earning there. Could lead to big things if it takes off.

I hope they never release it to VIP cause I truthfully dont ever wanna see that ugly gui. And I think ill be good without flash games lol...which is pretty much all that happened in the update for those who dont develop O_o.

Not true. All in all, everything benefits the players in the end. More power for developers, means some cool content can be developed. Better protection against hackers, means that it will be harder for cheaters to take away from the enjoyment of normal players. The flash games in the serverlist are obviously to show off the new support for flash and for the enjoyment of the players. So really, the players benefit the most.

Didn't they say something about some previews in August, football and some otha stuffz :O

Tyhm · #7 07-30-2006, 12:32 PM

Well - will there be floating-point layers in the future? I mean, it's kinda stringent how things are Layer 0,1,2,3,4, and within these layers sorted by Y+Height; why not instead of layer 0 Y+Height 52, sometimes we can just put stuff on layer 0.5? It's a Future Improvements question, but this is the hot thread - perhaps the future of this update can be discussed?

kevin3d · #8 07-31-2006, 04:38 PM

You can read the x/y of other players on the same gmap, I believe, even if they aren't near you.
Unfortunately, map generation doesn't seem to be to scale?
When I generated a map image and tried to script my own map, I had to do some weird stuff to the player's x/y position on the map.. The map was the proper size and all, but it seems like it skipped some rows of pixels?

PHP Code:


			
headx = player.x - 4 - player.x * .1;

heady = player.y - 12 - player.y * .1;

Anyway, I agree, this wasn't what I expected.. No problems were really fixed and nothing that really effects gameplay was added.. Just some pretty new GUI features.

KuJi · #11 08-01-2006, 07:14 AM

In possibly 4.2 could there be a function to stream flash files ;(.

Graal doesn't allow anything over 1 mb to download o.O

I wish stefan weren't on vacation. Has anyone mentioned anything about the ctrl+Z emoticon? (it should be exempt from the generic emoticon code)

Tyhm · #13 08-03-2006, 07:42 AM

Yes, I believe it cropped up in Bug Reports.

Another bug I came across that I posted in Tech Support:
onwater and tiletype aren't always giving the same value serverside as they are clientside (people are getting hit near the edges of water).

FaLLChiLD · #15 08-06-2006, 06:38 PM

I'm personally not too fond of the new F8 menu either due to the graphics. As others have said, it's a setback quality wise.

I think it would be cool to be able to customize it as you can your RC through a text document...or something along those lines.

...you can customize the graphics. I actually thought of that as a step forward rather than a step backwards. I find the style to match Graal a bit better.

The new serverlist looks like some alpha version for scripts...crappy graphics :/

Yea, I think the map feature needs a grab-type thing like Adobe Acrobat Reader has. Also, that isn't Classic's most recent map, and certainly not using Classic's Tileset.

EDIT: What might even be cooler than that is an interactive minimap instead.

D4rKv310c1ty · #19 08-15-2006, 01:27 AM

I believe it's already been said, but considering there is so many new features and mini games. It'd be nice to customise your Graal client, make it more homely

the graphics and etc could be client side rather than the modification changes on the server.

That'd put a kick back into Graal.

But you would also want the client to have access to certain data from the server (ex. the map image, the playerlist thing, the server info, etc).

Of course! Why else would you use the client?

The current one is fine and should stay that way. That or make it optional?

I think it looks nice. I have another option to suggest; Ignore you!

He kinda has a point Zero,
It's sorta lost its originality. But I guess it just needs some getting used to, I like the new flash scripting features though!

DragonDemolisher · #24 07-28-2006, 06:56 PM

Heh, i cant play the new version in fullscreen so now i lag like crazy.

...Flash and graal don't mix, or so I think...

Sometimes you guys need to look back and wonder "is this REALLY graalian?"

Party pooper!

I love it, I can't wait to take advantage of the flash things. The DR computer was going to have movies with gfx and a sound file, now we can use flash ^_^
This opens a lot of doors, I really like it ^_^
Good job guys!

You are ruining Graal, and turning it into ever other elitest game on the internet.

Graal isn't going to be Graal much longer, if it already is. You're adding too many things and it's not the simple, fun game it once was. Why does it only seem like the STUPID people enjoy updates like 'Graal3D' and this new little 'Fun and Games!' crap?

I agree on this point. If we want to play flash games, we go on another website and play. Wanna play with graalians? Pm them the link to the flash game and enjoy.

Graal clientwise is -fine- the way it is now. How can people like the new F8 menu? :/

Screw gameplay, the menu changed for the worse.

Such as? The new menu looks too childish and cheap. The current one is awesome, why change it? -.-

@Gerami: Graal is notting more than a game engine; Deal with it. *Gives lollipop* stop crying! :P

Elaborate. Graal is a GAME, Graal has an F8 menu which has just been ruined.

*Gives ribbon* stop sucking up

Can you just shut up ? Half of the thread with your complains.

Really, this new client obviiously took some work, and looks really nice.

There's obviously a reason for the complaints and a page or two forward you see Fry and Draenin commenting on the gui and Inferno basically saying what I was saying. But naturally only I get told to shut up.

Didn't know complaining was a bad thing all the sudden.

That's all I really want, for them to change the F8 menus and such to the current blue design + transperancy.
