Napo p2p: Opan beta announcement

=== July ===
* '''July 19th''' - '''AEON - Opan Beta Application'''
[[Image:Aeonnews.png]]

We've been making some great progress on AEON over the last few weeks, and we are pleased to announce that our modern world, Opan, is ready for a closed beta test. At this time we have already issued invitations to some of our longtime players to test Opan, but we are still looking for more testers. Trial and classic accounts are more than welcome to apply, since we would also like feedback from non-gold players

The application for beta tester can be found [http://aeon.arklandonline.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=729 here]. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact Napo (*napo_p2p) or Hatred (*Hatred89). We hope to see some of you on soon!

We now have a basic mining system and a mineral shop in the west to sell your stones to. Everybody starts with the pick axe, and minerals are all around the outside of OSL. Also, we have a simple little hat shop where you can spend the hard earned gold you have just made.

* '''July 14th''' - '''Zodiac V2 Updates and New Tutorial!''' {{News/Playerworlds}}

[[Image:ZodiacV2img.PNG]]
Zodiac's Staff are currently working on the next version, so far they're completing the base of the Server, including systems such as the Inventory (Q), Status (W), Equipment (R), Basic PvP Combat, a New Boat System, and much more!

When the base is complete they will begin announcing new planned features, and look to the community for talented Level Makers, and Graphic designers to help make Zodiac V2 shine!
To keep in touch with Zodiac's V2 updates [http://forums.zodiacdev.com/news.php Click Here!]

Also, a new Tutorial has been released.
"This is our first step in making Zodiac more newbie-friendly, as it teaches a couple fundamentals of Graal and Zodiac. Most of which should come naturally after button-mashing for menus but it's all nice, spelled out and mandatory." Said Jerret, a developer of Zodiac.

* '''July 13th''' - '''Dementia Needs Help!''' {{News/Playerworlds}}

[[Image:Image33453d.png]]

Dementia has been completely rebuilt. Currently we have a few levels, a few NPC, and some graphics. We plan to build a real time battle system, with custom stats, magic, weapons, wild enemies you can capture, and so much more! Check us out! Contact Latte if you are interested in a staff position, either in game, or by e-mail, zaraxiel@gmail.com. We are not yet hiring FAQs, GPs, or Events team yet, so please be patient!

* '''July 9th''' - '''Graal Kingdoms - Monster Siege Part 1''' {{News/Graal_Kingdoms}}
[[Image:Gknews070909.png]]

There's a letter. It was dropped by a Skelly. Hm... it's pretty garbled and torn up. Only one thing can be made out from the mess, "... we will attack..."

Sounds ominous enough doesn't it? We need adventurers to strike out and slay monsters by the ton. We need to discover what their plans are. Where are they going to attack, what are they going to do?

This '''Sunday''' at around '''5:00 server time''' I should have an idea on where there are some monsters hiding out. If you're there I'll send you off to recover more plans. Each piece you bring back will win you an event coin. Maybe then we'll learn what they're doing.

* '''July 7th''' - '''Graal Kingdoms - Quarter 3''' {{News/Graal_Kingdoms}}
[[Image:Gkquarter32009.png]]

Quarter 3 has arrived on Graal Kingdoms. Find more information [http://forums.graalonline.com/forums/showthread.php?p=1505099#post1505099 here.]

* '''July 6th''' - '''Noctorious Beta''' {{News/Playerworlds}}
[[Image:Noctoriousbeta6july2009.png]]

Noctorious is a modern themed server with many of the same features you'd expect from a modern server, however the the staff team has paid great attention to detail brining a unique style of design to the server. The public beta testing is from Monday the 6th until Monday the 13th of July giving a glimpse of what's to come.

Notorious is looking for Scripters, Level, Graphic, and Gani Artists to help with the development project. For more details [[http://forums.graalonline.com/forums/showthread.php?t=86686 Click here]].

* '''July 5th''' - '''Unholy Nation Pets!''' {{News/Playerworlds}}

Hi guys!
Sunday at 5:00 PM EST we will be having an open beta testing of the newest system on it's way to Unholy Nation. We have been slaving over it for two weeks, and are excited to get the final product public! You guessed right, it's the future pet system!

[[Image:UnholyNationPets.PNG]]

Just be ready to log onto Unholy Dev and have fun. The main objective is to evaluate the stress this system will have on the server when we have a large group of players using it at a time. There will be a thread on our own UN forums system (and the [http://forums.graalonline.com/forums/showthread.php?p=1503797#post1503797 GraalOnline forums]) for your opinion of the system.

Keep in mind this is the beta! So what you're seeing isn't the finished product.
Thanks!

~Streety/UN Team

* '''July 4th''' - '''Zone 4th of July''' {{News/Zone}}

Creation/Dev/wordFilter

2009-04-22T22:37:09Z

Napo p2p:

== Introduction ==
The NPC server has built-in word filter functions. This feature comes in handy for servers who want to implement a swear filter.

== Functions ==
* wordfiltertext(text, type) - returns integer - filters text with the rules defined in wordfilter/rules.txt, second parameter is the text type (chat, pm, toall or nick), result is a combination of 1 (log) + 2 (tell admins) + 4 (replace) + 8 (warn) + 16 (jail) + 32 (ban); use getWordFilterNewText(), getWordFilterMessage() and getWordFilterMatches() for more information about the filtered text

* getwordfiltermatches(int) - returns object - returns an array of words which matched the word filter after calling wordFilterText(), parameter is the maximum number of matches you want

* getwordfiltermessage() - returns string - returns the warn message after calling wordFilterText()

* getwordfilternewtext() - returns string - returns the new text generated by the word filter after calling wordFilterText()

== Example ==
The following snippet shows how the word filter functions can be used to implement a swear filter:

<pre>temp.filteresult = wordFilterText(player.chat, "chat");

if ((temp.filteresult & 1)!=0)
savelog2("cursinglog.txt", player.account @ " used rude words: " @ getWordFilterMatches(3));

if ((temp.filteresult & (8 + 16 + 32))!=0)
player.chat = getWordFilterMessage();
else if ((temp.filteresult & 4)!=0)
player.chat = getWordFilterNewText()</pre>

==Introduction==

'''GScript''' is [[Graal]]'s scripting language.

Its syntax and some of its semantics might seem familiar to those who program in [[WikiPedia:C (Programming Language) |C]] or [[WikiPedia:Java_programming_language|Java]], it uses ECMA-Script syntax. In some ways it is more dynamic, e.g. supporting dynamicly joining and leaving of classes, and brings support for easy management of online game content.

It is used for [[clientside]] tasks like [[GUI | GUI programming]], special effects and custom [[NPC weapon|weapons]], and [[serverside]] systems like player housing, complex baddies or pets.
