Windows v6 beta test

[MrOmega]

With dual screens up, Graal will not open on the secondary screen, it opens on the primary pushed all the way to the side aligned with the mouse axis. Not really a bug, but is somewhat annoying.

A new version v5.321 has been uploaded to http://www.graalonline.com/downloads...al_windows.zip :
- fixed projectile bug (reported by cbk1994)
- fixed transparency for tile layer 0: 8-bit pngs/gifs are now drawn without transparency when being used in the base tile layer
- new option: drawallinsidenpcs = true/false (draws all npcs in inside levels, eventually needed if you use a lot of showimgs)
- improved stretch draw in drawing panels and external windows (uses interpolation)
- double-clicking words in GuiTextEditCtrls and GuiMLTextCtrls is selecting the word
- added replacements for virtual keyboards on Classic and Era for iPhone
- removed UDP support because it doesn't work for most people anymore and we want to streamline the client

On serverside we have also fixed npcs move()ing over level borders on gmaps, will be up with the next npcserver update.

Note: please test the new version and post your bug reports. Discussion of technical decisions better fit in other forums, e.g. future improvements or the scripting forums. We want to release the new version as soon as possible.

You can increase your TCP throughput limit which can make TCP quite a bit faster (~20-25% in my case).

I'm not sure how ethical it would be for Graal to automatically change TCPAckFrequency during installation though.

Is not being able to upload files such as player graphics in game with the V6 client a known issue?

Also is drawallinsidenpcs a server option, npc or level var?

[Admins]

drawallinsidenpcs is a client-side global variable.

You mean uploading files with the scripted RC? Is the file-upload window not showing or is the upload failing? Can anyone else check this on their computer?

I think Thor meant an in-game upload system like on Era and Classic. We upload player graphics via scripted rc all the time on iClassic..

And that is not working with the new version? What exactly is not working or giving an error?

This is a good start, but it's windows standard that when you double-click a word it selects it (which you implemented), but then if you continue to hold down the left mouse button while moving your mouse over other words, it'll select them as well. Also, if you triple-click a word, it'll select the entire line until the next linebreak.

I mean "requesttext("folder", "PERSONAL");, selectFileForUpload();" which is used for players being able to upload graphics in game.
All that's happening is that once the file is selected the window is disappearing and that's the last of it, there is no onFilesUploaded().

I actually noticed this as long ago as V6 becoming a beta test, just thought there was some deliberate reason for it.

PHP Code:

function onMenuItemUploadFile() {
  FileSelector_Window.requestscript = this.name;
  selectFileForUpload();
}

function onSelectedFileForUpload(fullfilename) {
  if (FileSelector_Window.requestscript==this.name)
    uploadfile(fullfilename);
}

I see, thank you.
I was actually accomplishing this by a different method so must have skipped over that post.

Seems like the playerlist doesn't update players level as often as it should.

I was also walking around Classic's overworld, pretty normally without warping or anything unusual, there being no gmap update and suddenly it seemed as if all of the npcs within a particular level had been merged with other npcs, I entered an inside (would have been scripted setlevel2 rather than a warp link) and all of the npcs within that level didn't have onCreated called Clientside.

I've noticed that too. I was helping a friend and told him to go to his house, and had my cursor over his name in the player list. I didn't even know he went to his house for five minutes until he pmed me and told me he was there, the player list never updated his level..
