Flying Technology

If true, then why?

Else, how do we use it because all I can see is:

PHP Code:
Script help for 'fly':
Clientside:
TServerFlying - object type, parent type is TLevelObject
TServerFlying.dir - integer (read only)
TServerFlying.dx - float
TServerFlying.dy - float
TServerFlying.from - integer (read only)
TServerFlying.type - integer (read only) 
Couldn't find anything related to it on the gBible either.

He actually put it on unholy nation before, I do not recall where it is but i believe it is still on unholy nation somewhere!

Holding a feature from us like this seems like a waste, it doesn't even look like it's being used on GK.

How long do we have to wait for this? I really hope this is opened up for developers by the next release.

oo_jazz_oo 07-17-2009 08:19 AM
Didnt they reveal this before the release of v5?

Jesus...how long ago was that!? They promised this a very very long time ago.....im amazed they havnt released it yet.

Twinny 07-17-2009 09:38 AM
Just remake the thing yourself. Just zooming all the different elements on the map..

It was meant to be released for Christmas '06 I believe.

It was nothing more than smoke and mirrors. All they did was took a picture of level and zoom it to be small to give the effect of going higher.

Well you can't zoom the tilelayer I believe, and you also can't see past the adjacent levels on a GMap. You also can't zoom showimgs casted by other NPCs or ganis, really.

Not quite; it generated the "picture" on the fly and streamed the content to the client. Ganis, etc were shrunk and orientated on the correct x/y of the generated canvas (picture) to give the appearance of active gameplay.

More of a novelty than anything else, I'm surprised there's still interest in it.

Does this just modify the player.z? I don't get it

Flying technology, by the looks of it, it simply a graphical effect that shows the GMAP zooming out as the player's Z position changes; instead of focusing on point (x, y, 0) (which is the position of the player's shadow), it will focus on (x, y, z) and show the gmap growing smaller in proportion to the Z coordinate. Id Est, This technology simply zooms out whatever's in the background in proportion to the player's Z coordinate.

We need Mode 7. ;P

From what I've heard, it was not an on the fly thing. It worked more like Google maps, where you had pre-rendered images of the levels(which had to be manually taken) of various degrees of zoom, and manually uploaded.

However, for those interested... apparently it wasn't hardcoded, but scripted, so knock yourself out and try to make it yourself, I suppose. There was interest in it because it seemed like it was actual canvas zooming, and if that was so, there would have been tons of capabilities. Oh well.

Well, I asked Stefan how he made it and he explained it to me as that. So neener neener neener. ^^

The content of this thread has become regressive. ABANDON SHIP!





Oh, and... neener neener neener. :D

Angel_Light 07-17-2009 07:10 PM
Hairs are tingling on my neck, I feel a meme coming on...

DustyPorViva 07-17-2009 07:20 PM
Meh, I trust my sources more :)

Robin 07-17-2009 07:34 PM
Neener neener neener ;)

Crono 07-17-2009 07:44 PM
I'm expecting neener to post at any second now, ironically he's a pretty good scripter too.

fowlplay4 07-17-2009 07:50 PM
The Graal community will never produce a meme.

Also, would anyone care to post how to use the Flying tech functions?

A flying effect is easily done in real-time by adjusting an orthographic projection and rendering a larger radius of levels.

Yes, although a more simplistic approach is requesting that the player slowly wheel their chair away from the screen.

Sorry, flying technology is not officially supported on stationary chair models. Graal Online cannot be held responsible for any damages, errors, or injuries which occur as a result of using flying technology on unsupported hardware.

Rapidwolve 07-30-2009 12:45 AM
Wow! wasn't this supposed to be released literally two years ago?

Demisis_P2P 04-09-2010 05:25 PM
hi it's been about 4 years, can we have this yet?

kia345 04-09-2010 05:44 PM

TServerFlying are arrows :D
May be we could make some documentation about it although some working example would be better first (kingdoms, unholy nation?)
