Oh snap. I guess this means another new manager for Zodiac. Stranger danger!

[xAndrewx]

No, I was the Co-Manager.

There is also no way for Zodiac to tell if you're using ESC to abuse or not, so just save yourself the trouble and either leave the dungeon or use Alt+F4 to quit Graal. If you want to be persistent, go ahead and use it and receive the punishment that comes with it.

I asked Yen about doing the stuff serverside and he went on to say about how there are too many calculations to be doing it 4 times a second or so for all the players and that it would cause too many CPU problems with all the zodiac players.

Nothing is wrong with using the escape menu. If you want it disabled, talk to Stefan. I'll keep using it; It's what I always use. And I'll use it in the dungeons on Zodiac as well.

So long as it's not abused, there is nothing wrong with it!

I'm assuming the onKeyPressed event is called after they cancel it?

I only said what I said because they wanted to remove the escape menu completely.

The escape key is just... odd, and more effort than needed to use when there are two simpler ways to close a program.

If he adds a way to not make it freeze scripts then okay, but otherwise I think people can live without it. Maybe he'll make it another way to open the serverlist :P

Yes, because we need like 4 ways to open the serverlist


1. F1
2. F8
3. Taskbar
4. ESC key

Hence the sarcasm.

Uh no, Stefan mentioned making it scripted or so.

I'm not sure as I haven't tried it specifically on Zodiac, but doesn't the Windows title bar and task bar have the same 'freezing' effect on the client when it is right clicked too?

Why does it have to be so complex? I think it's been said already, the player should just be killed if they press ESC while in the dungeon, or even warped back to the osl with an experience penalty; -5% of their current experience perhaps.

The whole party shouldn't be punished for another players actions either. It makes no logical sense at all.

[xAndrewx]

What you've just said makes no logical sense at all.
We'll remove the EXP that only one person in the party gained and we'll also kill him ! we won't remove the EXP from the people that helped kill the monster, and we won't kill them either !
Please, if you're going to post, KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
