A few improvements.

1) Removing the pause key.
In Massively Multiplayer Online Games, pausing isn't available, yet on graal, it's easy to "cheat" by using the pause key to avoid death etc..

2) Automapping.
It would be nice if the heads of players in the "black" zones wouldn't be shown on the map, only if you already discovered a place that you can see who's there.

3) Automapping. Again.
Another improvement would be that automapping isn't an option, that it's always active or in the server options. That way, if we want to hide isles/continents from the map, the players will have no possible way of seeing them

4) Automapping. Last one.
I'm not sure about this one, but making a script command that reveals parts of the map, like when you look in a telescope you can reveal all of the map around you, or if you "buy" a map showing the water around continents or a map showing where a mountain is.

That's all I can think of for now Feel free to comment on those improvements I'd like to see

No, what would you do if you're AFK then? You could go in the water but what if your not in an area where there are No PK Zones or water?

There is water and there is no pk zones everywhere.. if you can't take two seconds to walk into one.. you don't need to be idling since you're just using it to idle from being killed, or idle to lag up places for no reason other then your personal enjoyment.

There should be a SCRIPT command to disable the pause key. Like disabledefmovement. disablepause; enablepause;

1. I agree. I hope in Graal 2002 they have taken certain steps so you cannot pause in the middle of an RP battle or an attack or anything, yet they should maybe have churches as no PK zones

2. Fog of war? Not on a server like Graal 2001, but I think it's a good idea for role-playing servers

The telescope would be easy. Just make the person warp there for a second or 2 then go back to were he was at, then it will show that part on the map. Just when u warp him make him invisible so they dont noticed there warped? You could do something like that.

yeah i know i have been saying that 4 ever, also i think that there should be a way to pause and unpause a player with a script, like pauseplayer id; unpauseplayer id; and than we could make custon pause menus. like where when they pause it brings up a stats view, cause the keydown() activates after you unpause since it stops all timeouts. just an idea...

fow

Fog of War would be cool if you could make it so it only maps the part of the level the player sees and after like a specified amount of time it hides...that would be cool especially if there were npc commands. also maybe make it so a player can go to the map and like view a level...might be kinda cool for making sure you know where you wanted to go...kinda like the Ctrl+map warp but just view the level for 10 seconds...

Fog of war... Fog of war... *ponders* yea! that would be cool! you could make maps so u can only see on the map what you would be able to see with your "eyes' and u could get bonoculairs (sp)... or, have auto-mapping, but u can only see the players that u could see w/ ur "eyes" with like somesorta showplayersonmap x,y,w,h; and hideplayersonmap; of course probely shorten the commands =P

Telescope thingy: You could make a couple of gifs and then scroll the map gif under a black circle gif... :-x

Pause Player: Aren't sparringzones so that players cant pause?
