It's not really for me considering Atexia doesn't even use normal .nw levels anyways.

I just thought I'd finish it up for the rest of the community.

I want to go back to Mac

It's to laggy to be worth it to use in the public releases of Graal and it doesn't work very much at all because you can't see much of what you are doing in the external windows because of the bugs.

Best just to wait for Stefan to fix the two bugs (and add windows taskbar button/system tray icon support to mimic the old rc!).

Well, I guess I can give you a little spoiler but it's nothing to fancy to look at right now.

EDIT: Re-uploaded the screenshot with icons made by Dusty! Thank you Dusty!

I have the unofficial release with external windows

I can tell you how well it works on Mac with external windows.

Anyway, it looks great so far! Keep up the good work.

I created a thread about it here. If you want to try it out, contact me from one of my contacts in my signature and we can arrange something.

Regarding Scripted RC File List: I've noticed that when I tried to upload a guild file, it changed the case of said file and messed up the guild name. It changed it from guildManager.txt to guildmanager.txt. The client takes the file names and puts them in lower case and presents them, effectively turning "Administrator.MEDIANEXUS" to "administrator.medianexus". This can screw up some file uploads and should be fixed.

Thanks.

Seems to be a client problem (since the file upload window is built into the client). Stefan will need to look at it I guess.

Skyld, dude, srsly. Can you please just script the RC to have seperate windows for scripts and the different script type listing? I know, tabs == cool, but I'd rather have usability than have to run Graal via PowerPC emulation and the RC via Windows Virtualisation!

Chill, external windows will save you. Intel Graal (not Universal!) will be released soon I've heard; the pre-release I have runs much smoother.

I'm not about a seperate window in the external window sense.

I'm on about pretty much cloning the current RC, I don't see any technical limitations for it not being the same to be honest.

I like the new improvements, actually. Some things needs to be added, yes, but I like the improvements made.

[Robin]

The only "improvement" (I'd say moar like, addition), is the GUI builder, and even that could use some work.

[zokemon]

There should be an option to have them in separate windows or tabbed.

I dislike the GUI builder; I generally don't allow it on servers I work on, it's much cleaner if you script them yourself, and the code matches your standards (perhaps if some options such as braces on new lines, spaces after parenthesis ( x ), etc?)

I agree, sometimes I've needed to switch back and forth between scripts and it is more convenient. But still, I would probably stick with tabs.

Braces on new lines is the devil.

Brace placement is always going to be one of those hotly debated things though

Personally I think masses of whitespace is horrid to look at.

PHP Code:

function onCreated()
{
  player.chat = "This looks horrible";
  if (you.really.think.this.is.nice == true)
  {
    player.chat = "You ought to be shot.";
  }
  else
  {
    player.chat = "Look at that else. Makes me feel sick.";
  }
}

function onCreated()
   {
     player.chat = "I actually saw someone doing this the other day. You know who you are. *slap*";
   }

function onCreated() {
  player.chat = "Ah much clearer.";
  if (you.are.clever == true) {
    player.chat = "Then you probably prefer this";
  } else {
    player.chat = "That is a sexy else.";
  }
} 


You know it makes sense.
