You cannot open the editor in the online mode

Why not?

I have all necessary folder rights. I don't see why I should have to have a second graal client running, when one should be enough. Stefan, go code it so we can edit levels online

Its not very important to do...

Maybe when the editor is a standalone. The trouble is people running something in the editor, and that script continuing in online mode...

I just open up the file manager, and double click an .NW/.Graal file and the editor opens up, and as long as you keep the file manager window open, when you click save, it re-uploads the new version of the level.

That's what I usually do.

It's the best way

Hm. Maybe if pressing F4 in-game sent a message to RC, and RC took that to mean doubleclick that file...that would be safe, nee?

Here is my problem.

My .graal/.nw files aren't associated with the graal.exe, so I go to add them (open with) and when I select graal.exe it disallows it for some reason. It's because in the program list I already have Gani Editor and Terrain Editor, and it seems to not ant to add a third...

If I double click them from a folder, they will open. If I try and open them from RC it doesn't have a program listed to open it with.

I tried to associate them with Graal.exe, but it just opens a blank level named "my ". Anyone willing to give the correct actions for opening the files?

Tyhm · #9 09-08-2002, 03:25 AM

So open the editor and drag+drop

Yes, I can just double click the levels, but a second Graal client slows down my system. It's just uncomfortable to work with two clients.
Also, it should not be too hard to have the Graal client work with the same security stuff as RC does. Warpto seems to be pretty secure and stuff.

I thought it was just like PATHTOGRAAL\Graal.exe "%1" or something.

Try deleteing all file associations w/ graal.exe and re-associating them?

Nope, it doesn't work like that.

Graal has problems opening files or files in folders that have spaces in their names. This is only when you're associating them with the .exe, but if you open the editor THEN open the levels, it will be fine.

emortylone · #15 09-09-2002, 10:13 AM

That would pose a problem for a couple of things.
1) When you hit 'F4' and view the level while in online mode, are you still connected to the server, and ifso, where @ and such, how would you continue playing??
2) What if you saved the level instead of scrapping it b/c you messed up... not good...
