Planning for Week starting 10 November

[unixmad]

We have decided to keep you informed on our progresses and planning’s, so here is our calendar of release for the forthcoming week, starting this week I will try to keep you informed each Monday on the planning for the Week.

Week starting 10 November
--------------------------------

1) Graal.net

We are in the process to release a new version of Graal.net with lots of stats (PlayerWorlds, Player Online stats and soon Scores based on data coming from each PlayerWorld).

We are also adding CVS to graal.net so PlayerWorld teams will be able to share files and also track modifications, we also plan to integrate CVS to the remote control.

Some documentations will be available from the main page.

2) Graalonline.com & graal.net

We will release a “identity card” for each player with all the public data available in our files, each player will be able to switch this data from public to private…

3) Graal Servers and Network:

We will move some servers to a new datacenter, this will improve quality of bandwidth for European and Asian players.

4) Graal 3D

We are finishing the new lighting code for Graal3D, it was a major problem before because the lighting was static and it was not allowing dynamic objects in the world.

We will also publish this week some screenshots of 3D building for Graal Kindoms 3D tech. Demo (more information will come)

Planned work for week starting 17 November
-----------------------------------------------------

1) Graal.net

We will release internal. Admin tools, mostly for Spark911 team, so he will be able to switch PlayerWorld’s from group to group (Visible, Invisible, Top 3 …)

2) Graalonline Site

We will restore the file submitter tools, it will allow you to submit Head/Shield/body like before, but I hope it will be used by PlayerWorlds for other tasks.

3) Graal 3d

We will publish information about what we plan to release for Christmas / New Year release.

For the graphics, will they be put into a query for the GGT to reveiw before they are transferred to the online global folders?

[unixmad]

Yes we will release new admin tools to manage validation of graphics.

How about a full time team of Global Admins?

I dont know exactly what he was saying, (perhaps a GM team like other MMPORGs have?) but in my opinion a larger-scale GGT could be put in place. --Chris-- seems to be the only active member, LordZen is seen online rarely. A more active team to handle the stuff the team was ment for.

The CVS integration sounds extremely interesting, though I haven't heard too much about it yet. Anything that makes Graal development more robust is good news to me

As for the GGT, I don't think they need to be any bigger. Spotting copyrighted graphics can be done regardless of official membership in a team, and we only need a few people to enforce the removal of those graphics.

[--Chris--]

It would be great if the GGT (maybe even just Zen and/or myself) could manage the global uploads and such considering alot of illegal material has slipped through in the past and are still there up to this day ;x

I am really looking forward to Graal 3D, any idea of when it might be released? a year or so?

The only reason illegal material is upload is that not everything is checked. Well nothing much is.

And I cant wait until November 17th! I get my tools

So if the US made a new and improved bomb, that could devastate millions without haste, you would be excited?
Edit: I dont know why I said that, bad analogy as well.
