What is the problem with player locations and pm bubbles? You can get the position, you can access everything needed for a custom playerlist, and you can even open PM/history windows now (see the Kingdoms kingdom-GUI).

Of course! Why else would you use the client?

Not losing memory, but to show spar ratings when they change. I told you this before. It would also be good to be able to draw nicks at the default nick layer, and to incorporate the new text shadow feature into the object created by a showtext (as to currently get a text shadow right, it's way too messy... playing with z values in a showtext2). It's the small things that count.

I meant variables for use in player-scripted skins.

isapplicationactive()?? What in the world does this do? It doesn't do what I thought it would. In fact, it's returning false for me.

Corrected that, it's "isapplicationactive", a variable, not a function

You can overwrite the chat text of all players.

Shadow for showtext could be added yes, although it is more or less the same like adding two showimgs

It's be nice to not have to do two showimg's. Would keep the code shorter and be a little quicker than lining up another showimg to look good as a shadow.
I sent you a forum PM about png's, if you didn't see it.

okay, so this would be like players[i].pmswaiting()? (I'm guessing)

You make a point. I didn't really want to overwrite the chat text of all players, but override the chat text of particular players. I see how I can do that now I'm just being stupid, sorry.

Not in essence.

PHP Code:


		
			
function drawNick(obj) {

  temp.objwidth  = (obj in players)?2+0.5:obj.width+0.5;

  temp.objheight = (obj in players)?2+1:obj.height+1;

  temp.screentestx = screenx(obj.x,obj.y) in |0-16*temp.objwidth,screenwidth|;

  temp.screentesty = screeny(obj.x,obj.y) in |0-16*temp.objheight,screenheight|;

  temp.screentest = temp.screentestx && temp.screentesty;

  if ((obj.nick || obj in players) && temp.screentest && obj.attr[10]&4 != 0) {

    temp.c1 = getAlignmentColor(obj.ap);

    temp.c2 = getAlignmentShadow(obj.ap);

    //foreground

    if ($pref::graal::limitnicknames)

      temp.nick = obj.nick.substring(0,$pref::graal::nicknamelimit);

    else

      temp.nick = obj.nick;

    if (obj.attr[10]&2 && obj in players)

      temp.nick @= " (paused)";

    temp.text = showtext2(this.showIndex + this.showSize,int(obj.x*16)/16+1.625,int(obj.y*16)/16+2.5,-0.5,NULL,"bc",temp.nick);

    changeimgcolors(this.showIndex + this.showSize,temp.c1[0]/255,temp.c1[1]/255,temp.c1[2]/255,1);

    changeimgzoom(this.showIndex + this.showSize++,$pref::graal::defaultfontsize/24);

    temp.text.layer = 1;

    //shadow

    temp.text = showtext2(this.showIndex + this.showSize,int(obj.x*16)/16+1.6875,int(obj.y*16)/16+2.5,-0.5625,NULL,"bc",temp.nick);

    changeimgcolors(this.showIndex + this.showSize,temp.c2[0]/255,temp.c2[1]/255,temp.c2[2]/255,1);

    changeimgzoom(this.showIndex + this.showSize++,$pref::graal::defaultfontsize/24);

    temp.text.layer = 1;

  }

}

Now, this uses two showimgs. The problem with it is that the two showimgs don't always share the same layer when interacting with other showimgs or NPCs (you could have one part showing and one part hiding). Another thing is that the default nick system draws over it's own player and under every other player and NPC.
