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

PHP Code:

You know it makes sense.

Well, it's a matter of personal preference though.. I style my scripts pretty much as you do..

And I think it's different from community to community (talking about scripting discussion on forums, ie a c++ or java forum) and who you were taught by (when self-learning and look at others scripts you would probably style like that)

Anyways, there are so many discussions on this, that I'll just say, its all personal preference

It's personal preference. I really don't care if you like looking at whitespace, when I am in charge of scripting at a server, that is how it's done.

I feel that it makes it look more organized, on the same line looks too cluttered.

All I'm saying is that it should be added so that people who prefer it can have it (and I could allow it on my server).

I'm pretty sure GUI builders in any language are just there to establish some guidelines. You should never blindly accept any generated code, ever.

Personally I always step through all the assembly that gcc generates from my C++ code before letting it assemble it into machine code (and then I go through it again before executing it)

After making one GUI with the GUI builder, you cannot make another without restarting Graal. The options for the GUI don't show up.

One thing I always wanted was a Backup Button. Push one button (with the appropriate rights) and it downloads everything on the server; drag that folder back in and you can restore the entire server. A different button downloads all the updates since the last time you did a backup, a different button downloads all the accounts' stats...maybe it happened when I wasn't looking, but if it hain't, Skyld's more likely to bother adding it than Stefan. :-D

That may cause problems in a few ways I'm not allowed to mention on the Graal Forums

Pssh, it's not like Graal's files are useful to any other games...

Not useful for other games, but lets just put it this way:
The files can be leaked

I suppose you'd only be able to back up what you have rights to.

Even if you do that, it still makes it easy for corrupt administrators to leak backups of entire servers to Anti-Graal.

I say: leave the backups to the system they already have and give trusted PWA members access to them (the private worlds only, not the servers like UN, Zone, etc), which would make it very easy to get your server restored if something were to happen.
