What the Scripters Need

[screen_name]

Okay, I have compiled a list of features/commands should be added to GScript. If you have any that aren't on the list, just reply with them.


sparringzone;
notsparringzone;
disablepause;
enablepause;
disablesword;
enablesword;
showimg index,@font@bicus@size@text,x,y;
keydowns(11...) For all the alphanumeric keys
disablerating;
enablerating;
callweapon weaponname,event;
disablemap;
enablemap;

[Saga2001]

revised

// sparringzone; <-- do you mean in a script like:

NPC Code:

---

if(playerenters) sparringzone;

/*

Because it works fine like this in a blank npc:

*/

sparringzone;

---

// notsparringzone; << don't put a sparringzone npc?

disablepause;
enablepause;
// disablesword; <-- i believe you can use hidesword or something like that.
// enablesword;
showimg index,@font@bicus@size@text,x,y; <-- might be kinda nice, but why not just zoom?
keydowns(11...) For all the alphanumeric keys
// disablerating; <-- why?
// enablerating; <-- again why?
// callweapon weaponname,event; <-- triggeraction playerx+1.5,playery+2,actionname,weaponname,params ;
// disablemap; <-- showstats 1+2+4+8+16+32+64+128+1024;
// enablemap; <-- showstats 1+2+4+8+16+32+64+128+256+1024;

sparringzone; < - Cooler sparring rooms, you can make it sparringzone and then make it not, could be cool
notsparringzone; < - Cooler sparring rooms, you can make it sparringzone and then make it not, could be cool
disablepause; < - found a way around this
enablepause; < - found a way around this
disablesword; < - hidesword doesnt disable the sword, just hides
enablesword; < - hidesword doesnt disable the sword, just hides
showimg index,@font@bicus@size@text,x,y; < - Easier, smaller script if you have to change zoom a lot
keydowns(11...) For all the alphanumeric keys
disablerating; < - So i can use R for something instead of ratings
enablerating; < - So i can use R for something instead of ratings
callweapon weaponname,event; < - not for calling other people's weapons (so no triggeraction) NOTE: I have tried triggeraction playerx,playery,actionname; Doesnt work
disablemap; < - showstats doesnt hide big map
enablemap; < - showstats doesnt hide big map

hmmmmm...that showimg thing is just a waste, purely because there is a command that does that already and i can understand disablemap, maybe instead have like disablefunc(key) and that could be used to disable the action that comes with that key? Whats your way around disablepause?

I dont understand what he wants ?

It would be helpful if you had an offline npc server so you could test your p2p scripts. (could be used for those who have no acess to npc server and that are TRYING to make a server...)

[screen_name]

the changeimgzoom doesn't keep it a definite size, just in ratio to your computer settings, it would be cool if you could use the size option to make it a certain size for every computer

Thats not REALLY possible...see.
with different resolutions, etc you could not make it the SAME size on EVERY computer...just not possible...

I believe he is refering to the actual text size, of course it will show up differently on different resolutions.

oh, i understand now. ok.

[Admins]

Normally the standard font size of showimg text is the same,
24 pixels height, font size 14

[Faheria_GP4]

I've seen people change the font sizes before...
The Sanstrata System has small fonts...
is that wut ur sayin? Im confused lol.

Perhaps stefan should release a P2P test server, where the levels are there for 4 days then get deleted, that way any scripters that have P2P can upload to it, test out their scripts and then that it

This could be useful for Hide & Seek games, where the idiot noobs always press R to see where people I hiding

What about disablechat and enablechat. Surely if you were holding an event you would not want people spamming when your trying to talk to one specific person.

[Spanko]

What the scripters really need is an assistant to do such tedious jobs as getting drinks.

NPC Code:

if (playerchats&&client.NoChatForYou) 

  setplayerprop #c,;

You would need NC access to work some commands since some require the NPCs to be database npcs

And an offline NPC Server just wouldn't work, how would it access a database offline?

[nyghtGT]

i think what the scripter needs is a pocket sized version of kaimetsu to carry around with them ...

[dragoonvenganc]

having a online p2p test server would be of great use even if it deleted the files in 1 day

just have it as the user names and passwords are the account name and password .. for people with p2p accounts

or at least a g__server were mabye upto 5 people can access it with npc server etc... a person limit so u cant run a server with out stefan and it would serve enough use .. please stefan please

If u want to get some really good p2p servers faster this would help us out greatly

If they release a g-server, eventually someone will release a crack that will let you exceed the 5 player limit

Not if someone *ehem* wrote the code right.

Graal just needs 1 server that scripters access certain folders with rc. Each test group has a folder. The only problem I would think about facing is the npc server. You can't share 10 different groups on one npc server.

Currently, you can only put levels in the levels folder, I couldn't get levels to load from a different folder even by editing the folder configuration

Then we need a stand alone server that is simply for testing that allows us to do this. Maybe have a main interface that lets you select which group to join, max of 5 characters. In order to get a group you can email the server admin or something.

I figured it out. In the editor, for example you have 2 levels. new1.nw and new2.nw. You make a folder in ftp called test. When using the links in new1.new you would do this /test/new2.nw . Graal should be fixed so that this is possible. The main directory is not always primary though for instance if your directory changes to test then you dont have to have a test/ in the directory name if you want to access a level from that folder. This would help a bunch in tons of things including guild houses and such. Say you have a guild called Gangster. Log into ftp, make new folder, upload their levels. Best Organization on graal ever.

i dun think thats a good idea cause i can just see it now:
'/levels/nyghtsocean/island1/house1/rooms/'
just using that as an example of what some people who do.

its not really needed, nor do i think that many people want it ...

Actually if I ever made a playerworld I'd make multiple divisions for clarity (E.G. one folder for each city, and a folder for any loose quests etc.), then it's also the case that if people want to edit certain parts of the playerworld they don;'t need full FTP acces.
Plus multiple folders are handy since you can give everyone their own personal testing folder, without risking that they have too much acces.

that would be a lot better

and certain people could be assigned to only run part of the server

that would be pretty nice

sorry but graal uses mysql and stuff so it wouldn't be as simple as that it would be the entire root on the server

It can be done pretty darn quickly with folders, and I knew it was possible.
