Mac v6 beta test

The graphics on that disk image need some work, but otherwise nice work . Glad to see v5 is finally dying. In the future please focus on incremental updates, not major ones. It's frustrating to not be able to use new scripting features until years after they've been added.

Well the main problem was that v5 was still using some Delphi stuff, which had to be replaced and made nice enough in v6.

Well when v5 was released it was much lower.

We have released a the version v6.015 at http://www.graalonline.com/downloads/Graal6.dmg :

- Fixed gani particles
- fixes problems with projectiles falling through the ground
- new script functions convertLatinToUTF8(string) and convertUTF8ToLatin(string), mainly for server-side stuff

We have updated the installer on the login server to make it easier to install and find the Remote Control, there is now a button to directly open the folder with the external Remote Control.

About windows not correctly closing or freezing: how can I reproduce the problem? Does it only happen on certain OSX versions? I've tried to freeze the windows but wasn't successful (on Lion).

It's been happening to me on all versions of OS X, including Lion now. I can't find a reliable way to replicate it except to be on a server a long time and send lots of PMs. Eventually they'll start not closing when clicking send or close.

We have released a the version v6.018 at http://www.graalonline.com/downloads/Graal6.dmg :

- improved the mouse interaction with external windows: it's easier to click now and you also don't have to click on a window first to make hints, buttons and scrollbars working
- Fixed a bug with refreshing content of windows with scroll fields inside
- Fixed a problem with GUI controls becoming inactive (not sending events correctly) after recreating it, mainly happening after reconnecting to the same server
- Fixed a gani bug: when setting player.ani to a gani with script and then setting to a gani without script, the function onPlayerEnters was still called on the old script

Has anyone stated about the bodies with green around them?
Some bodies I see people using have a green outline on them for me..

Is there any way at all to disable lights/particles for graal v6's mac client?

[Admins]

No need to, they are not slowing down stuff. Major slow downs are slow scripts, too many npcs or slow hard drive. In the next version the hard drive usage by Graal will be reduced.

Oh, client speed isn't the problem. V6 runs great! It's a thing of preference really-- as the "night" effects on Graal Kingdoms can be quite dark (It's straining on the eyes). I, as well as others, would love the option to be able to disable it.
