I kinda loke how it is like windows, start, the buttons, etc.
It would ne cool if it extended on that idea, like being on multiple servers from the same client, etc

when will you fully release to the non-VIP public?

Yeah it's ok, cartoonish but I guess it keeps some life in graal. This is a very good improvment towards graalonline. And I can't wait for Graal3D, however I hope they improved the quality and reduced lag. ^^

Also, multiservering sounds like a good idea however it would tend to get kinda confusing unless however stefan added something to show they are looking on another server. I also hope that a in-game RC will be imputted in Graal4 soon enough instead of using the scripted ones on servers. I was always thinking on that login server to be some type of small start point just for people to sit and talk before going on a server but it kinda sounds dumb, however other games have pulled that off. :rolleyes:

* The new GUI will be improved and we will add new themes, it's just a first version.
* The flash games are to demonstrate the vector technology inside graal, we will put new games inside graal kindoms, zone with the 2D technology and some new games inside graal3D with the 3d technology.
* All this functionalities will be available to developer; it's opening a lot of new area.
* The new interface will be a way for all playerworld to create Multiplayer games inside the playerworld and advertise them to the graal community.

This is just a first version to open new area.

If some of you don't like new features you can stay on graal classic and sit waiting for more zelda fans. Stefan and I think that's our responsibility to experiment new technology, introduce new ideas and get feedback from the community to improve them.

If you want to help us, try to be accurate on what you likes and what you dislikes and not just say 'it's bad'.

Sounds excellent. ;) I really wanna mess with the Graal3D coding but it's not out yet and flash games hmm that gives me a few ideas on something I could do...

Post the images for the blue windows, tabs, buttons and such and we can have a go at making our own designs. ^^

Nice updates definately, but it'd be nice to give the players a little something to experiment with in the mean time while you and Stefan work on it.

There's obviously a reason for the complaints and a page or two forward you see Fry and Draenin commenting on the gui and Inferno basically saying what I was saying. But naturally only I get told to shut up.

Didn't know complaining was a bad thing all the sudden.

It's called screenshots. Thats what I've been commenting on.

Really?

That's all I really want, for them to change the F8 menus and such to the current blue design + transperancy.

Looks different.

I like version 4.1 more, the old ones were plain and boring, this new one is bright and colorful and the games section is sweet :D unix say well done to your GFXer he does good job :)

He kinda has a point Zero,
It's sorta lost its originality. But I guess it just needs some getting used to, I like the new flash scripting features though!

Graal/levels/images/blue2/

Replace them with graal/levels3d/guis/blue*

mkay thx :p

I've decided I really really don't like the new gui of the client at all.

Will you be allowing the client to skin back to the previous?

Just take your old ones, and replace the new ones.

I like it tho, its more detailed guis then the older one.

What.. a Windows XP style?

Vista is coming out soon :redface:

As a GST member team you will be able today to put your hand in the GUI directly and rebuild new themes :)

Oh man...I so cannot wait for this! I hope that players will be able to make their own too soon, that would be totally awesome!

They can right now, I think.

how do you play the games? I have gold and VIP but it wont let me, I doubt click them :o

You clicked top left on games?

Yep, Stefan added some profile access on login2. I'll be sure to have a go with making a new theme. ^^

Yeah, I can find them, but I doubt click one and doesn't work.
Are they flash, may need to update my flash.

When you click on the game, and the game shows in the box, there should be a play option.
When I try to play the dino game (I love this game, btw ^^) , though, there is no play button, and I have to put it on multi-player, make a new table, and play it by myself that way.

Yes, they are. The lastest flashplayer you can download here:
http://www.adobe.com/

Yes, please do this. I would really like to make a custom skin for usage.

Heh, i cant play the new version in fullscreen so now i lag like crazy.

... excellent!

Well! Having looked at the profile stuff, it seems that it is probably quite profile-oriented unless you want it to match the colour scheme they have right now.

I plan to sit and play with the test profile that Stefan left for us on the login server sometime, and see what I can come up with. :)

What do you mean?

Well, there's a script on the login server with a set of profiles that define colours for things like backgrounds, text colours, sizes and typefaces.

Apparently I have the latest. I maximised the graal window (literally, to cover the whole screen - why are there so many small windows together to form the game selection list?) and it said something about active x?

It's a buncha gui controls (the login server). It uses flash for the games etc.. I was playing with flash today :o

Eh? The emoticon effect is nice but I like the old one, and when your dead it doesn't show other peoples emoticons and the ZzzZ emoticon doesn't show correctly either. As far as the flash thing I haven't had time to mess with it. =x

This is a known problem and will be fixed in the next version.

i cant even log on to graal

Read sig for reason

But to me it looks like a lot of windows attached together, most too small to see all the tabs and content within them >_<

Hmm I am using a 19" monitor and it looks ok for me.

But this is fullscreen almost for you?

The pic is fullscreen, but mostly I size it so I can use the left side for the playerlist as small sized as possible.

Would perhaps be better if the game loaded in a new window or so, so the whole thing didn't have to be so enlarged.

:( I was hoping for more game-related features.. Not just GUI related stuff.
