THANK YOUcaps

So no plans on making it Opengl by default then?

Not until it supports fullscreen, I think he said.

Okay, so a couple of things that need to be done are:

- Fullscreen mode for Opengl

- Opengl as default

- Perhaps a dropbox for selecting fonts

- PROPER UDP support (ASAP or in the future)

Can't highlight the Level: text in player's profiles. (external)

I really should just say external windows in general aren't saving their position/size after closing. The playerlist is, though.

It's quite useful to be able to hear a player whistle to you while Graal is minimised, or even as you're typing a PM as that also prevents sounds.

Bump.

Also in a previous version of V6 using a normal gani animation as a gani attribute was always displaying above the player, it's now displaying below the player if drawn near the top of the player. This change obscures something I was using, which was more efficient than using a scripted display.

I've just noticed:

- new .gani feature: specify the layer on which an attached gani is displayed:
LAYER 2 to draw the gani always above the player, or
LAYER 0 to draw it always below the player;
this is only for ganis that are attached to a player (or NPC) by setting
an attr[], e.g. player.attr[1] = "hat.gani"

Which is quite handy.
If anyone's not sure how this works you just open the gani as a text file and write LAYER #.

Is that fixing your problem?

It is, apparently. Don't forget addressing the whole "no sound when Graal is minimized as an option" thing, though.

I've noticed a bug in v6 where the shift and ctrl keys can become "stuck" when you tab out of the Graal window while holding them. Scripts act as if the shift or ctrl buttons are being held down until you press them again. This does not seem to have any effect on built in features such as the emoticons from holding ctrl and pressing a key, but only on scripted features. It is causing some problems on Unholy Nation where they have custom emoticons, and certain scripts like the hotkeys that require you to not be holding shift when you activate them.

Is this new to v6? I've been experiencing problems like this for many years.

Fullscreen mode doesn't seem to work at all on dual monitors, just goes black. Ideally the screen with the Graal client on should be the only screen going fullscreen mode.

The fact that filenamecache.txt is no longer used with the new V6 makes usage of the Level and Gani editors somewhat more annoying when it comes to loading new images, as you either have to explicitly select the image within the Level Editor, or copy an image into the same folder as Gani Editor.

Or is the goal to force players to pay to use online tools?

What does it use instead?

Not sure exactly but it seems files are scanned for whenever they are required.
