That can't be true, I'm using it this very moment in v5.

He probably means in the early v6 versions. Keep in mind there hasn't been a client update in at least 2 years, maybe 3.

I know this has been said before, but I keep having scripts breaking because of this:

PHP Code:

GraalScript: Function Interface_LevelText.adjustText not found in script of Weapon _Interface 


When I use join("classname"); I expect it to be instant or at least freeze the rest of the script until it really is joined. In this particular case, adjustText() is a function found in the class gui_basics which is joined to the GUI when created and later on called.

You have to preload the class (loadclass) or call a function of the object to force load, the best is to use a init() function or so.

You can't make join() wait for the class to fully load before returning?

Any possibility for an implementation of obj.loadclass?

I'd really like to see the main window being created at the mouse fixed. That's an annoying one. Also, I noticed that Graal falsely accepts keystrokes when out of focus sometimes. A way to reproduce would be to connect to a server and, while it connects, change to another window (explorer or something else), then hit a couple keys.

Not only that but all external windows open at mouse center which is annoying as hell.

[DustyPorViva]

Ya, trying to open PMs is a pain in the ass when you have to open a mass, close it, open a mass, close it. So on and so forth. I talked to Tig about the new ability to position external windows via script but login 2 is broken or something.

Either way, I'd like to see this hardcoded. It was a horrible addition to RC2 and I don't know why it was ever brought to v6.

[DustyPorViva]

Stefan, this is how you should solve ALL your font rendering complaints.

Haha, "On Some Servers", so true. I think these options should somehow actually effect the rendering and not just options, but I can get by for now.

Anywho, I've noticed on my server and other UC/Hosted servers once I connected I can't connect to another server, I must close Graal to do so. Serverwarp() still works though.

[Tigairius]

Made some large changes to the playerlist on Login 2.

Now profile windows will open at the center of your screen, likewise for PM windows and history.

Your Playerlist will save position now too if you have alwayson checked, so if you open it and move it to a certain spot on your screen, then when you log back into Graal, it'll open in that location. If anyone has any issues, please let me know.

Note: These features are only available on Login 2.

On v5, using this style and changing the font in the profile is working just fine.

On v6, it is replacing the font with something else that doesn't appear to be in the window's blind skin nor is it my default font.

Happening to Jacob_Bald6225 also.

overridestylefont appears to work but isn't allowing the font color to be changed

[Admins]

It's using the font color defined in the wba file (Personality, ActiveTextR/G/B). You can set the profile.overridestylefont to override the font type, or set style = "" or "none" or so to get rid of the wba stuff in a sub-control.

Hmmm the window position things aren't working at all for me on login2, just seeing some windows shifting positions and the playerlist always appear at {0,0}

I get this every single time I open v6, it's rather annoying to download the same files over and over.

Also, and this is a bug that's been around on v5 for ages as well, when all the downloads are done it doesn't close down the window, and forces you to do it on your own. Which is annoying to say the least.

Also, if you press Alt (without any modifier) in the main Graal window or an external one, the game freezes completely.

I think that is because it is technically selecting the "window menu" (I am guessing if you press Alt and then when it is frozen press the down key, you will see the window menu appear).

Yeah, I know that much, was just hoping for it to be disabled somehow since the window menu doesn't really do much for Graal.

This is probably more a Windows restriction I am guessing.

I'm pretty sure it is. If there are no in-window menus available, it treats the ALT key as though you clicked the program icon in the top left of the title bar, which brings up the default "Move, Close, Resize," etc menu. I don't think programs themselves can disable that function. Google Chrome completely removed the title text and icon at the top of their window, yet you can still click that top left corner and achieve the same results.

It's a restriction of the rendering loop being in the same thread as the Windows message loop. I highly doubt Stefan is going to go through the potential multi-threading headaches to resolve this.

Perhaps a emitter.particle.unique is in order to deal with those conditions.

Sounds good. Stefan, would you kindly implement this, please? :3

[Tigairius]

Stefan did that on purpose for efficiency. On kingdoms iphone we have to create a new object each time we want new text basically. After about 30 objects or so, modulus back to 0.

I know he did. The behavior should be optional, though. I also asked him personally about it, and he replied that it shouldn't even do that with text particles or something like that. He also said I should try two particle types and setting both vars the same, for that would eliminate his optimization, but that didn't work either.

[Admins]

Ok next version will have emitter.particle.uniqueparticle = true/false, will be released this weekend or so.

I got a friend to tell bout this.

graal runs on my netbook when using V6.

the last version would not run...so

Thanks!

Here's an issue I'm having. I'm using GraalControl.onMouseDown() and call a function from within side this. Now within this function I call another and same again in the next function. The params in getDist() are always the params of onMouseDown(), not the ones I send.

PHP Code:

function GraalControl.onMouseDown()
{

  doActions();

}

function doActions()
{

  someFunction();

}

function someFunction()
{

  temp.dist = getDist( player.x, temp.nx);

}

function getDist( temp.x1, temp.x2, temp.y1, temp.y2)
{

  if ( params.size() == 4)
    return (((( temp.x2 - temp.x1) ^ 2) + (( temp.y2 - temp.y1) ^ 2)) ^ 0.5);

  if ( params.size() == 2)
    return ((( temp.x2 - temp.x1) ^ 2) ^ 0.5);

} 


Basically in getDist the params are that of onMouseDown() regardless.

This is intentional. You have to give the parameters names. Stefan explained it somewhere but I can't find the post.

EDIT:

The params[] array is only created when the script is called (doesn't even need to be a function, GS1 style). That is either on an event, or when you call a function of another object. To get a variable number of parameters either use func(arg1, arg2, arg3, arg4 etc) and ignore the arguments that you don't want, or pass the parameters as array.

Currently accessing the parameters for each function as array is not possible because it would mean a big speed slowdown, although if it's really important to have it then we could add something like temp.functionparams[] which dynamically converts the function parameters to variables.

Provide an actual working script (especially in Bug Reports) with some output if you want to help get the issue resolved.

Edit: So it's intentional.

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE

function onCreated() {
  echo("== Created ==");
  getSomevalue(1, 2);
}

function GraalControl.onMouseDown() {
  echo("== Clicked ==");
  echo("MouseDown: " @ params);
  somefunction();
  this.scheduleevent(1, "CheckParams", "");
}

function onCheckParams() {
  echo("check: " @ params);
}

function somefunction() {
  echo("somefunction: " @ params);
  someotherfunction();
}

function someotherfunction() {
  echo("someotherfunction: " @ params);
  temp.getsomething = getSomevalue(1, 2);
}

function getSomevalue() {
  echo("getsomevalue: " @ params);
  echo("getsomevalue params: " @ a SPC b SPC c SPC d);
} 


echos..

PHP Code:

== Created ==
getsomevalue: 
getsomevalue params: 0 10  
== Clicked ==
MouseDown: 0,414,540,1,0
somefunction: 0,414,540,1,0
someotherfunction: 0,414,540,1,0
getsomevalue: 0,414,540,1,0
getsomevalue params: 0 10  
check: "", 


My advice, don't rely on the params array when you can specify parameters in the function. In your case just add a second function.

On second look at your code... lol?

What? It checks to see if it's getting the dist from two points or just the xdist/ydist. 4 params means its getting it from two actual points...

You don't see anything wrong with:

Well when you put it in that view I do. But it basically acts as abs(); I could do abs( temp.x2 - temp.x1);

@fowlplay4:
What do you mean add a second function...

Why can't I just recreate the params array when I call a function?

[WhiteDragon]

Alternatively, write an n-dimensional distance function that accepts an array of tuples.

A new v6 beta version (v5.317) has been released for Windows at http://www.graalonline.com/downloads...al_windows.zip:
- fixed some problems with gani script initialization (onPlayerEnters when re-entering a level)
- fixed update problems of gui graphics with grids
- for avoiding problems with the new particle engine you can specify emitter.particle.uniqueparticle = true; which will disable the optimized rendering and allow different text and images for each particle
