Got a beef with Graal 3?

HoudiniMan · #1 02-08-2005, 12:59 AM

My only major beef with Graal 3 (that can't be re-scripted) is that you can't resize the window. There are a couple pre-set resolutions to pick from, but that seems like a downgrade in technology here.

Why was resizing taken out?

I'm hoping the display font is a scripted thing I can change...

Anybody else have any major problems with Graal 3?

You make a very good point Houdini. Only beef I really have with it is that it runs very slow on my mediocre system but should run fine.

Graals playerlist does not support guild groups and is sometimes confused on where buddy and ignored players go.

NPC scripting change on in player mode (like x and y isnt where x and y used to be).

and I agree with you all on your remarks.

It doesn't have an out-of-window playerlist. I hate that!

Amen!

I hate how it isn't like the old client.

Well, now he can't monitor PMs with the game minimized.

I was intending on redoing a PM system for the server I was once developing. It was more of a buddy list type thing, where you couldn't just PM anyone, they'd have to accept your messages :P

Just a small problem; Graal 3D doesn't work.

I have problems with my Linux version. Looking through it via console it is because it cannot download certain files and then segfaults once I fix those problems. More details in the Graal3.15 Linux thread :P

If you use the default driver (OpenGL) then the window can of course be resized, what is the problem ?

Like he said, what is the problem? The window can be resized just fine. And if you don't like the buddylist, just rescript it. It's not very hard.

I'll have to make sure this openGL is selected, it was locking my window to preset resolutions... Investigating now.

Ahh i see, I was too used to using the maximize window button, then hitting Alt+Enter to resize the window to my screen size (while not being in annoying 'full screen' mode).

This way i didn't have to drag it out myself each time, and i could still use other programs while running graal at full screen size.

Would be nice if the maximize button was brought back.

I hate all of the things you can do in v2 but can't do in v3. I don't understand the point in limiting everything. There was nothing wrong with the old PM system, player list, mouse etc... I didn't need chaning. Lots of useability has been removed in v3 in my opinion. I think the features of v2 should be intergrated into v3 so it's more easy to use.

Limiting what? The only thing that doesn't work in v3.1 is an external player list
