Global Buddylist.

Is it possible to download your buddy list when it's global, as opposed to local?

What do you mean? They're still in your buddy list, just not on the server?

What do you mean by download?

Sorry I misunderstood the question

Buddy lists used to be exclusively saved locally (on the players computer) but there was a feature brought in where your buddies were saved globally (so if you reformatted or something, they'd still remain).

What I'm asking is.. is it possible to download this global list of buddies, if you want to use them on another account.

Oh, okay.

I thought a local list was still kept in your Graal directory?

It is.

It's not synchronized with your global list. IE, if I move to a new computer I will still have my buddies but I won't have the list saved on my computer.

Oh okay ... I thought it still saved. My bad.

Yeah that would be cool, an 'import/export buddy list' feature.

I think you just need to enable the scripted playerlist, it will be saved / synchronized to scriptfiles/groupBuddy.txt

Right, but why don't we add it for the external player list since virtually everyone who can uses it?

DustyPorViva · #13 05-03-2008, 05:15 AM

Because the external is being replaced, I think.

Because he's going to be releasing a new client sometime in the near future (I'm guessing)? Would be silly for him to have to make another client between the current one and the one to be released when the old playerlist is just going to be removed.

I thought he was going to leave an option to still use it? After all, one of their things they boasted about in v5 was the dockable playerlist (which I hate by the way, as it doesn't work with multiple screens, which I've reported)

I know this, I have the version with external windows.
