This is very weird...

Xecutor · #1 09-03-2004, 01:56 AM

Has this ever happened to any of you?
When I opened the level there was a soccer ball in the middle of the level. It appeared out of nowhere and it's not an npc and I can't put any tiles over it either.. If i play the level i can kick the ball around but in the editor it's not an npc...
it's very weird...

Gambet · #2 09-03-2004, 02:26 AM

Well, this has never happened to me. The only explanation i can give, is that you have "Hide npcs" enabled, so the only way you can see the npc's in the level is if you click "play", but in your case, you can see it which is very weird. Im not really sure what to tell you, im sure that the soccer ball didnt script itself.

Xecutor · #3 09-03-2004, 02:34 AM

It is weird.. I was working on the level one day and then I saved it and closed it.
The next day I opened the level and it was there...

Gambet · #4 09-03-2004, 02:40 AM

Well, like they say

"Things dont grow legs and walk away"

You probably edited it without noticing...there has to be an explanation.

Spark910 · #5 09-03-2004, 02:41 AM

I've had it two times before, a random ball - and I didn't place it there.

protagonist · #6 09-03-2004, 02:47 AM

THERE IS NO BALL. IT IS AN URBAN LEGEND.

Well, if when you pressed "play" you could kick it around and when you get on editor you cant click on it, well, thats very very strange. I mean, images dont script themselves....Ehh...must be a glitch.

Silver Knight · #8 09-03-2004, 02:55 AM

It is a remnant of past Graal versions, if I am not mistaken, and I believe
it dates back to the good ol' days when we had offline multiplayer support.
If I remember correctly, level1.graal was the soccer field and thus the soccer
ball.
Try saving it as a .nw file and see if that works.

Darlene159 · #9 09-03-2004, 03:03 AM

Yea...N-Pulse has a level online that has had that ball on it for ages....you cant see it online, but you can see it when you play the level offline, and in the editor, but you cannot remove it...and the name of the level it is on is level1.graal also

Eagle · #10 09-03-2004, 05:38 AM

Yes, it always does that with level1.graal... Don't remember it being in the actual editor, on when I played it. But yeah, rename your level.

Crono · #11 09-03-2004, 09:57 PM

SOCCER BALL! It happened to me in 2001 and i was like "WOAH LOOK WHAT I MADE"

Gambet · #12 09-03-2004, 11:09 PM

I just did some experimenting and whenever you rename a level to level1.graal, a soccer ball image appears, you cant click it, but when you play the level, you can kick it around.

yeah thats what i experienced back in the day. I was like WOAH LOOK WHAT I MADE w00t w00t x2. Then I didnt know how to make it come back. I thought making 4 bars in a square made it pop out

Redwizard · #14 09-04-2004, 01:09 AM

rename it. that will solve the problem. any level called level1.graal will contain a football;as the original level1.graal (offline mode many people may remember it from years ago) had a football put in it default. Possibly built in, cant be helped

Which brings us to our next idea... what else was offline that we can make appear by naming levels

Right, you probably shouldn't say that because it's probably against some rule... But it's mainly gone because it wasn't funny at all and was rather quite dumb...

Anyone know if stefan built a lvl5 global RC into an old graal level?

Gambet · #18 09-04-2004, 11:29 PM

RC is a seperate program. I know that your "kidding around", but atleast be realistic about what your imagining.

I know that you're trying to be cool, but at least don't try to
tell people what to do.

Malinko · #21 09-05-2004, 03:04 PM

Solution: Don't use .graal levels! Yay!

calani · #22 09-06-2004, 04:06 AM

Somehow my graal vr got corrupted and I saw the old-style red lettering and old-style say2 boxes.

I don't think Stefan ever deletes code from Graal. He just supresses it and adds more on.

The same reason he winked. He wasn't kidding, and highly doubt you were, it wasn't very humorous.

I dont need you to believe anything i say, because quite frankly, i dont really care. I was kidding around when i said that, i wasnt trying to be funny.

Normally when you're 'kidding' it's meant to be funny. As I thought went the definition.

LordMatt · #32 09-07-2004, 04:45 AM

...back on topic..

that ball is the devil bobby.

Dach · #33 09-11-2004, 06:18 PM

something cooler:
put

PHP Code:


			
if (created) {

  drawaslight;

  message OMG lookit!;

}

in a level npc offline and look at it in the editer (outside the script window)
it's only cooler cause noone talks about it

You're never funny either and yet you delete our "kidding" posts? Kidding and joking are two different things.

it's very weird...

send me that level please. i'll test it and may be able to find out what caused it. its happened to me sometimes too but i accidewntally got rid of it and don't know how. may i test this level? make a copy of it?

myth-simba · #37 11-28-2004, 03:32 PM

Holy crap ppl. its so obvious that the balls there... omfg.. it is a script but when you click on it you can't pick it up you say?? helps i u click on it properly. like click near the ball on next to it if clicking in the middle don't work. most scripts have got diffeent amount of space so its harder to pick up some than others.

#1 You replied to a thread where the last reply was over 2 months ago.
#2 the ball is not a script, it is not an image that anyone has put into the level...it just appears there. I have had it happen to me.
It shows nowhere in the editor that it is there at all, and you cannot remove it, or pick it up.
Solution: Dont name a level "level1.graal"

xAndrewx · #39 11-28-2004, 04:06 PM

the script is there, press f6

I did that when I saw it, and I dont remember seeing a script.
At any rate, you still cannot remove it.
