Should make it able to dock inside the Graal window(part of GUIcontainer, not GraalControl), that way it doesn't take up viewable gaming space, but eliminates the micro-management of positioning and controlling it outside the Graal window.

No, I want it on the side, just like the current one does. If the new playerlist eliminates this feature, then the old one should be kept.

I was making an additional suggestion :P

Skyld, that playerlist hasn't been public for like a year now. It has changed a lot since you last saw it.

Besides, it'd be a barebone version suitable for all servers.

I agree, please don't. I really wouldn't like the look. External windows are better.

I want the GraalEditor and RemoteControl to work with the intel compatible graal version before they release it!

As far as I know Graal are not making any external tools.

I assume you mean the Mac version (since the Windows has worked with Intel since the beginning of time)?

That's not a problem with Intel, that's a problem with them not willing to put in the time to create the tools.

We're all working hard to create powerful tools for the players in the new version. We know the transition from current external windows to scripted external windows will be tough, but we're trying to make it easier by making them as user-friendly as possible and replicating the old style of the windows.

I have been working hard on a scripted level editor for about 7 months now, and right now I have made many advancements with the playerlist for the next version.

I really don't think it'll be as bad as you guys are anticipating.

I really do hope you can prove me wrong, because I don't know about the rest of you but I'm sick of disappointment. I still despise v5 and want v6 to slap me across the face for ever doubting it.

I agree with you, though I don't think we're in for any huge surprises. Tig's level editor, for example, is very cool, but it still does not match the solid feel of the external one (or Gonstruct).

Stefan, I know you have a lot on your plate, but we haven't seen a client update in almost 3 years. This is absolutely absurd. I've been ready to use the new scripting features in the Graal betas for a long time now.

Can we please speed it up just a bit?

I'd like to see a more fine grained, built in updating service in the client so that we don't have to until some big new client version to get bug fixes and quick updates. So that you can do small, incremental patches very often. It's not even particularly difficult to achieve, coding-wise.

Pretty much every online game I've ever played does this - they make small updates regularly, weekly even (in some cases). I understand it taking three years to get done with all the changes going into v6, what I don't understand is why you have wait until it's all done before releasing updates (especially the bug fixes).
