Graal 2 disabled

Skyld · #1 02-20-2006, 12:49 PM

Era has become Graal 4 only

Up until now, certain effects and scripts have relied on Graal 4, and if you haven't been using Graal 4, you'd miss out. I've decided now, that it would be better to disable Graal 2 completely.

It's hindering effective development keeping it enabled, and is causing problems for staff when it comes to bans. It will be a lot easier to develop more now, being that we can now use the new scripting engine on the clientside.

If you haven't yet downloaded Graal 4, you can do so using the following links:

If you're having problems with the Graal 4 client, then I ask that you post a bug in the Graal 4 Bug Report forums. Please read this thread before making a bug report, however.

Enjoy!

The good thing is now we only need one graphic for the cars, instead of also making rotated versions of it, so its much easier to add new ones. Also there can be particle effects and such

Ew. You plan on making one view of the car then using a script to rotate it all 360 degrees? That's going to be ugly.

Consistant perspective is a good thing. Please don't mock it.

I thought so too, but it does look fine on Era.

Which direction of the car is needed, Stefan?

Many guns need a reload animation. I guess that will be my next project.

But it's just showing the same thing as the v2 script. Just with less gfx.

And they aren't planning on doing it. It has been done for a while now

.

This is good news for me. With classic playerworlds taking steps to disable v2, a global disabling of v2 shouldn't be too far away. I've been wanting to use the improved shoot command for quite some time now

Smart move, though what was wrong with keeping it universal?

The problem with having Graal 2 enabled is that it makes it much harder to use new engine scripting features effectively, since we have to cater clientside scripts in old gscript.

If we only have Graal 4 enabled, then we can develop something more effectively, and be sure that it will work for everyone.
