Windows v6 beta test

[Luda]

Super!!!!

[BigBear3]

Fantabulous?

[Admins]

A new v6 release has been uploaded, it will automatically updated, otherwise download it with Start -> Install Packages -> v6 on the login server. Updates:

- Sounds are not stopped anymore when walking over the map, only looping sounds are stopped when walking between different maps or levels
- Tempus Sans ITC is the default game font again, like in v5
- The Tempus Sans ITC font is displayed non-bold for the Q menu, like in v5 (this might not always work though, still investigating)
- Fixed the download of tempsitc.ttf (Tempus Sans ITC) on the login server
- Fixed some smaller problems

Can Tempus Sans be the default font for iPhone Classic instead of Arial or whatever it is? It's more Graal-like.

[Tigairius]

I would like to have this attachplayertoobj problem fixed.

Are there still any other problems for v6? Or is it finished in your point of view?

As much as I'd like to see the release finally happen, there are still some minor things I want fixed/changed. First, this issue:

Edit: Window size only, even! Changes to the size of GraalControl don't cause the problem.

Second: I'd like the mouseover hint of the playerlist to work even if it's not the focused window. Is that possible?

I seem to be experiencing some pretty major problems with the latest client that hadn't been occurring a few clients ago where logging onto the splashscreen of Classic would freeze and render you unable to continue to the intro.
It's kinda strange, some times it happens, sometimes it doesn't, but it seems to be a case of this.alpha somehow not reaching as far as 1 and 0 with 2 separate checks of "if(this.alpha < 1)" and "if(this.alpha > 0)" before a further increase/decrease.

Edit: Some further testing indicates that the function "isDownloadingFiles" is returning true when I don't appear to be downloading anything, downloadpos and downloadsize are both 0 when this is happening. I have this check in place to ensure all the necessary intro files are downloaded beforehand.
Also somewhat weird as this sometimes isn't the case for "fadein" but then is the case for "fadeout" after pressing S.

Edit 2:
I had nickname displays at layer 1 rather than 0 for the sake of displaying above image npcs that make up a floor design, in V5 these would still display below other players when expected, but now these are displaying above players/characters when you'd expect it to be displayed below them.

I'm also wondering if there's a way to set highlighted/selected gui textlist background colours, as I have the colours set as 2 different greens within a .wba which are now however showing as red since a couple clients ago.

Is bold/title text within gui controls supposed to appear a lot blacker?

I still think it would be ideal for the variable that prevents the hiding of off-screen npc displays to be an actual display variable rather than a global variable, maybe the global variable should exist as a form of default for npcs where the a singular display variable isn't specified.

Something else that might have been a bug which I noticed after re-testing the rat boss at the end of Zol's toilet is that there might be an issue when doing something such as having an npc hidden onCreated, then doing something like:

PHP Code:

public function appear(temp.x, temp.y){
  this.x = temp.x;
  this.y = temp.y;
  this.show();
} 


What happened is that the said npc didn't appear when I expected it to, but then suddenly did and in the new location once I moved close enough for its original coordinates to be visible on my screen.

Normally if you walk into the level for the first time and then quickly run back out (can ofcourse be caused naturally by lag) this causes the tiles to be updated in your current level rather than the level the NPC is within.

In V5 this can be prevented simply by specifically having the script updating this.level.tiles[x, y], however in V6 this problem is occurring even when using this.

This problem still exists.

What I've discovered now is that this problem is only occurring on gmaps, it's fine within inside levels.

In Playerlist option, make sure the following boxes are checked

Internal PM windows
Internal Playerlist

Try opening it back up

It wont load or show up

Bug with the playerlist.

[BigBear3]

Not anything really important..

But why does it only show the first line of my quote?

I knew that. But the fact remains that I should not have to. It could use a fix.

Version 6.004 has been uploaded. Overview of the modifications:

- Fixed entering a gmap which has not been downloaded yet (was warping to the upper left corner of the map before)
- Fixed reinitializing DirectX9 after resizing the game window, this will fix problems in Atlantis
- Fixed attachplayertoobj on client-side on gmap if the npc is in another map part
- GuiMLTextCtrl: Fixed trimHorizontally() to also work with left-aligned text
- Changed window title clipping with wba/guistyles: when canclose, canmaximize and canminimize are false then it will allow drawing over the right edge (there might be a problem with right-aligned window titles, will eventually change that in one of the next versions)

Also fixed some scripts, independent from this version:
- When showing the playerlist it's using showtop() to make sure the player list appears above the Graal control and other windows (if showing the playerlist in-game)
- Fixed the quote field in the player profile so that it's showing more than one line
