A few new features....

[KainDaMan]

Here is a list of features I would like to see Incorperated into the scripting system.

~~commands~~

NPC Code:

---

redownload file; /* this would make good for if there is an update for say a gani or an image and you don't want to flood the player's webgifs folder with the same crap, just edited. I know I have made mistakes with things and wanted to replace them, but at the same time didn't want to go into my levels directory and remove the files in question then re-start graal, not to mention the fact most newbies wouldn't know where to start x.x */

---

~~strings/variables~~

NPC Code:

---

imgscount

imgs[index].x

imgs[index].y

imgs[index].vis

#f2(index) // for images from showimg/showpoly/showani/showtext

---

Just a few that came to mind...

NPC Code:

---

redownload file

---

All they have to do is close graal and restart and whenever they come back it'll automatically redownload.

[Python523]

imgscount wouldn't work, since you can have an index of 20, 500, and 600, there is no order you have to go in, so the indexes for them wouldnt work in a for loop

[faenix]

i can just imagine a hacker signing on and forcing everybody in the server to redownload pics1.png 5 million times and crash their computer

[KainDaMan]

't would be impossible for a hacker to do so because you can't just magically put an npc somewhere x.x
Not to mention that redownload file would most likely have to be serverside seeing as how the server is what handles download distribution...

I also just remembered somthing else I would like added...
It would be nice to be able to specify a folder for savelog2 's...

[edit]
It would also be nice if the "style" button in the graal level editor were incorperated into the NC. I have having to open the level editor every time I want to format my scripts....

Why?

Or, you could just format it as you go, and not rely on the level editor to do such basic work for you.

[KainDaMan]

but formatting as you go is tedious and time consuming

and choosing folders for savelog2 would be nice for things like bugreports that you would want in a different folder or certain things for GPs that you don't want added to the logs folder not to mention things you would want in your personal staff folder...

[SaijinGohan]

The style thing I think is just pure laziness. But a folder for savelog2 would be nice.. like an extra in the command to specify which folder or when left blank it goes to the default.

[TribulationStaff]

It is very possible. I still remember the days of gnpc.

[SaijinGohan]

Everything is always possible. Hard as it may be, it is possible.

[marcoR]

it would be really hard ot do that... not the getting the NPC... but using a command like that with the npc abilities you have...

Could make it an array? ... nah too much work.

That's really a waste of time with the new -rw feature. If there is something in the logs you dont want them to see example a level you didnt want some one to see you would make it -rw levels/levelname.nw then they couldnt see that level. It works the same for images and txt's etc..

[KainDaMan]

Though I didn't know of that feature, you still don't seem to know what exactly I'm talking about =/
I'm saying like with copylevel you can specify an output folder
That would be good for savelog2 as well....
example

NPC Code:

---

if (actionserverside) {

  tokenize #p(0);

  if (strequals(#t(0),jail)) {

    savelog2 gplogs/jail-log_#t(1).txt,~Jailed by #a for #t(2) seconds;

  } else if (strequals(#t(0),unjail)) {

    savelog2 gplogs/jail-log_#t(1).txt,~Unjailed by #a;

  }

}

---

see what I mean now?

[draygin]

Yes, I understand and it is really a waste of time when if there is an item you dont want a specific person you can just block them from having access to it. So it doesnt matter if they all save to the log folder.

I think he is aiming to organize it a bit better, rather than hide it.

Images are automatically downloaded and redownloaded when it has been changed. The only thing that is annoying about it is that players need to restart their Graal client if you upload a new image, could add something to let clients check again if they are up-to-date.

Please do, Stefan!

Btw, I've always had to delete the images from levels\webgifs\ and restart Graal for it to redownload. Simply restarting Graal never worked for me.
