Windows v6 beta test - Page 72

The exe-update process has been changed:
Instead of auto-updating on login, it's now showing a dialog and asking if it should update now, and also provides a link to the download zip in case the user wants to update manually. Note that in some cases it will still prevent the use of outdated Graal versions so you cannot prevent updating forever.

This new dialog also has some other purposes:
- on linux it will provide the two download links and let the user install them manually (auto-update process too complex right now)
- can show v6 update to v5 (after the next update end of the week or so)

Can you make a list of things that need to be fixed for you to adopt v6? v5 needs to go away as soon as possible so developers can start using the new features of v6.

My reasoning for wanting to use v5 for as long as possible is more personal (playerlist, profile, etc not being scripted / fonts).

Graal version 6.007 has been uploaded:
- also shows version 6 on server-side now (script variable player.graalversion)
- fixed problems of stalled downloads (supposed to continue downloading files after 5 seconds even if there was a problem with one of the previous download requests)
- doesn't try to download map parts from server
- doesn't try to update files from inside a zip or wba
- the rows of GuiTextListCtrl are not deleted when the control is added to another parent
- reduced file size by 200k

This version is the 'Gold Master', which means if this version is fine then it will be the final v6 release. Of course we can still fix things if you discover big problems.

Will we ever have the ability to disallow resizing/maximizing for external windows?

It just seems like this should be basic functionality...yet, its not possible to do.

I've just discovered that there seems to be multiple instances of the same NPC being returned within the findareanpcs(); function, please fix this.

The reason I discovered this was that with the latest client Classic's scripted clientside onPlayerTouchsMe trigger was being called 2 or 3 times at once on the same NPC, this is causing quite a lot of annoying problems. So I then decided to test findareanpcs(); and I'm 100% sure this is the issue.

Is that problem also happening on server-side?

Nope, there's only one instance of an NPC being returned.

Hmmm can check it (after vacation). It seems to also draw some npcs double or triple (shows 400-700 npcs on the screen on Era on a small netbook screen), have not tested with alpha-transparent npcs yet.
