Global Heads
 

Who maintains these?

(To be frank: I'm looking to get head893.gif removed (It is an invisible head).)

Re: Global Heads
 

I've heard conflicting stories, but one points to them coming from classic.

Are all the servers even linked up to it anymore?
hmm.. there should be a server option to disable it anyway.

It doesn't exist anymore, to a certain extent. There is a folder linked on the classic server to the 'global' heads, swords, and shields. However, it is only global to the servers that share the same computer as classic.

So is there a command for serverops like;
globalheads=false

... or something?

Re: Global Heads
 

I believe PsYcHo RaYmOnD, from Graal The Adventure, maintains the global heads.

I thought Zen handled that but er anyway...who-ever is doing it is doing a pretty lousy job...there's a million and one global heads,shield, etc that should be removed for copy-right reasons >_>

Re: Re: Global Heads
 

ROFL! Highly incorrect. He never even managed that folder at all. Only local head images. ...not that he's still in commission as of now.


...and WTF, are you guys saying the heads on Classic are shared between all GServers running on the same computer as Classic's GServer? If that's the case, I have access to the folder.

Re: Re: Re: Global Heads
 

Try putting a head on it then going on N-Pulse and try it on ;o

Re: Re: Re: Re: Global Heads
 

In fact, I just did, except with Unholy Nation. I went on UN, set my head to head893.gif. It worked. I went on Classic RC, removed that head from the folder, tried it on UN again, and poof, no head. I readded it btw. I'm not exactly sure if I should be removing heads from this folder in the first place, so... I'm not going to until I find out from Tyhm.

You need to calm down bud. :) Anyway, there should be head/shield/sword/body thing on the website again, so the Graal Admins can edit the global ones. Then on each server you can have your local ones.

Also, you should be able to make globalheads true/false on your server, because I know on some servers they have it scripted so you can only have certian heads, but it would be nicer if you didn't have to script it. :)

Well, Tyhm gave me the ok to remove head893.gif, so... I did. I hope you're happy now. :P

Personally I believe PW local heads shouldn't even exist ._. It just makes the PWA and GGT job harder and I don't see why having it uploaded globally would be a problem.

Thanks. :)

[edit]

D'oh, didn't affect Era it seems :(

Having it uploaded globally would save space, but then again some team of people would have to go through all those heads to make sure that the transparency and what not is set correctly, of course given the fact that they actually want to check it. It could take days before a particular head is actually uploaded.

Edit:
Well Jagen did say they have to be on the same local computer. I believe Graal2001, Kindoms, Classic, and UN are on the same computer; of course I could be mistaken.

Oh well, it was annoying on Classic too. It makes me wonder if one server on each computer running GServers has the global heads for all of the servers though.

Does the folder happen to be your local heads directory?

GGT could be of good use to the public for a change.

Take out the "T" in GGT ._. It's basically a 1 man team and the admin e_e I haven't seen anyone doing jack squat besides me recently. Ramirez, if possibly you could give me rw to that folder and I could check over things wanting to be uploaded weekly or so and have all the copyright stuff removed myself rather than having to report and rely on Zen 24/7 who isn't always around.

Just curious, who is apart of the GGT? I know Zen and now I know Chris is, also Jourdan. Anyone else?

Jourdan quit Graal
Garel is also but he disappeared
redwizard er...right....x_x

Kind of pointless... since the folder only works on one computer, and the linking to it should really be removed I think, or at least made so it has a point, meaning on every server

huru quit/fired
then some other dude that's a ***** is on it too. Would be nice if the team was "reset" so to speak.

Of course not.

Chris, Jagen is right, it's only for a few servers, not ALL of them, so that would be pointless.

I also agree that linkage to it like that should be removed.

Making it work with all servers (like Jagen also implied could work) then having my suggestion (PW local heads and such not even existing) follow up would work quite well but that could be too much hassle in the short run and will most likely not happen so I agree also on having linkage to the directory removed as it is almost pointless currently but after the copyright crap is removed ;x

Its simple to organize. Stefan releases an update to delete all heads etc in your folders on your computer (sucks doesn't it?) and then the new change will take place.

The global graphics will be numbered(heads) except for mabey a few shields/swords. The local graphics made by each playerworld should be named playerworldname_headname.gif/.png/.mng.

This way we dont have people complaining from other playerworlds that someone is uploading a graphic that overwrites theirs.

I don't see how you guys could get fed up with only a single head.

People use invisible heads and bodies on Era, with invisible nicknames to make it hard to see them. I've been removing them as they come, but I cannot remove global images. :\

:asleep:

But you can disable them with a simple script...

NPC Code:

---

//#CLIENTSIDE

if (playerchats) {

  if (strequals(#c,sethead head893.gif)) setplayerprop #c,That head is not allowed;

}

---

Phew, too much scripting for one day... I'm going to have to lie down now. Oh, someone please get me a glass of water.

'sethead head893.png'
'sethead head893.gif' Looking at this page's source you will notice multiple spaces between sethead and head893
'setheadhead893.gif'
I pwned your script.


Other than that, the plan is that there is a set of global graphics that is not going to be extended, and thus the need for a maintainer is not considered high enough to justify such a position.

But, alas, you must do more. That does not account for those who already have the invisible head.

The .png version is correct; only the .gif version lacks a proper transparency definition. Nice eye about the spaces, however. :)

Like the current set is still screwed =/ Here's some examples:


Mario looking (not that bad though): head111.gif

Luigi looking (not that bad): head112.gif

Crappy looking Sephiroth (ff7): head34.gif

Squall (ff8): head180.gif

Megaman Character (or so I've heard): head99.png

DBZ Character (or so I've heard): head507.png/.gif

Cid from FF7 (definately): head597.png/.gif

DBZ Character (some karate dude I've seen in the series): head764.png

DBZ Trunks: head978.gif

I heard this was from megaman: head929.mng

Seifer from ff8 (definately): head989.png/.gif

Another definate Seifer: head1266.png

Vash The Stampede: head1235.png/.gif

Sort of lookss like ff7 cloud: head365.png/.gif

Why should I have to use a script to block something that needs to be removed globally anyway? :\

Re: Re: Re: Global Heads
 

Well, that's what he told me, geeze...

The latter most likely isn't gong to be executed as efficiently as you might want to think. Though I could be wrong. It mostly depends on the GGT (and if you haven't already known, they aren't something that you should really depend on anymore.)

Possibly replace that with a strcontains command (if it exists).

Dude, read what I've been saying throughout this entire thread.

Dude, read what I've been saying. You're the only person in the entire team that actually proves of a certain existance. You, unfourtunately, don't speak for the entire team as one whole.

Please either use words properly, or don't use them at all.
