New page

==Release date==

2001 for Windows

==2.1==

new standard tiles for trees and
houses and signs

new interface for starting window and
serverlist, it shows informations about
your account;
if you are in the serverlist you can go
back to the starting window by pressing F8

completely redone engine for holding the
images in the memory; this avoids using the
windows GDI (graphical interface) which caused
memory leaks and other problems;
with this new engine the game should take
much less resources and memory

the editor opens a new empty level when
you press F4 while playing the tutorial levels
instead of showing the error message that
the tutorial level does not exist on the
hard drive (since it is encoded in the exe
and not meant to be editable)

when you are in a level where playerkilling is
disabled then you see a little sign right to
the alignment bar which shows a red cross on
a sword

the script variable timevar works in
offline mode too

fixed problem with the % operator on big
values

new script function ascii(c) to get the
ascii code of a character (ascii(A) is 65);
the other way (converting ascii code to
character) can still be done by using the
#K(num) message code (#K(65) is A)

there shouldn't be 'Invalid floating point'
error messages any more on voodoo cards
(please disable the use of direct3D in the
Graal options if the effects are too slow for you)

when a chat text or a nickname contains a line that is
too long for being displayed on the screen, then
only the visible part is drawn instead of
hiding it like in old Graal versions

new script variable tiles[x,y] which can be
used as replacement for the board[index] variable;
it also works for tiles in near levels on overworlds
(tiles[-1,20] will read the tile at (63,20) of the
level left to the current level)

in the editor there is a new option 'Predefined npcs';
there are all scripts (text files) listed where the
filename starts with 'defnpc' and ends with '.txt';
you can select the npc, then drag&drop it onto the level
by clicking on the npc outline icon left of the choice
box and moving it onto the level;
in the script file you can insert lines like
#COMMENTS This is a door
for changing the comments that are displayed under the
choice box, and
#EDIT redvalue 1
to let the user change a value in the script:
when you add the npc to the level then
all occurances of the variable ('redvalue') will
be replaced by the entered text (in this case '1'
if you don't change the text)

some windows have been removed (sign message codes,
add-npc window) and the stuff from it is integrated into
other windows so the level editing is simplier;
the options window and add-showcharacter windows
use tabsheets

snapshots levels made with Alt+5 handle lights correctly,
also fixed some other problems with snapshot levels

support for smilies in PMs: some text like :D and :eek:
is automatically replaced by smilie-images when reading
a PM (and having html-pms turned on); you can change the
list of smilies by editing the file smiliesdef.txt in the
folder levels/smilies (add a line 'code,filename' for adding
a new smilie)

fixed 'vibrations' when being on a moving ship

switching to fullscreen and back to window mode should
work better instead of flashing the screen several times

ganis can contain scripts, put it in a block:
SCRIPT
if (blabla)...
SCRIPTEND
It is restricted to this. variables and can only use
functions for playing music files and displaying showimgs

new script function getangle(dx,dy)

String arrays! they are saved in normal flags/string
variables and look like 'myarray=123,"45",67,"8,9"'
Commands/Functions:
addstring list,text;
insertstring list,index,text;
replacestring list,index,text;
removestring list,text;
deletestring list,index;
sarraylen(list)
lindexof(list,text)
#I(list,index) - gives you the string on place 'index'

new script command play2 wavfile,x,y,volume;
x,y specifys from where the sound should come from;
volume must be between 0 and 1, if set to 1 then the
default volume will be used (depending on how far x,y
is away from the player)

auto mapping: the Graal program now automatically
downloads map files and minimap images, and updates
the bigmap (M) by drawing the screen on the map when you
move 8 tiles; this options can be turned off in the
Graal options if wished; when you leave a level then it
saves the part of the map that belongs to that level on
hard disk into the maps/parts folder; next time you start
Graal it loads the map parts automatically, that way
you always have an up-to-date map;
the map and minimap is no longer set by the listserver,
its now done by the gserver itself, which means playerworld
owners can change the default map/minimap by adding lines
to the serveroptions.txt:
bigmap=bigmap.txt,map.png,12.2,8
minimap=minimap.txt,map2.png,5.2,7
it works exactly like the script commands setmap/setminimap

new script variable 'graalversion' to detect the Graal
version the npc is running on

ghost mode, which makes it possible to let new players see
Graal2001 for free; it will also be used to limit the
player count on 'free' servers (if you have not upgraded
then you will login as ghost and wait in a queue till you
are activated)

important actions are logged in a new log window that you
can open by pressing Alt+0; it logs things like initializing
DirectX, Direct3D, but also the login/logout of players
and sending of explosions etc.; more stuff will be added in the
future

script commands callweapon and callnpc doesn't allow the 'created'
flag anymore

fixed showimg synchronization

in the tiles panel in the editor you can select multiple tiles
at once: select a block of tiles by clicking on the upper lef
edge, then moving the mouse to the lower right edge and
releasing it, then pasting it on the level

all default images included in Graal are now using the
image formats png or mng instead of gif

==2.101==

added the ghost icon to state.png
and ghostbody.png

fixed bluelampani.mng

fixed changing the body

arrows cannot hurt ghosts anymore

==2.102==

fixed script command setminimap

==2.103==

baddys can't be hurt/killed again when they
are already hurt/killed

the auto-mapping works even when you are on
a ship (attachplayertoobj)

fixed arrows shooting position

npcs are correctly deleted when a level
is deleted

==2.12==

compatibility of the clients for Graal2001 and Graal2002

many new features for Graal2002, which will
be listed later when the game is public

fixed updating images from the server

fixed some linking problems

new editor mode: it's now possible to do
multilevel-editing (when an npc called setmap);
also the drawing is using the correct npc
y-order; scrolling is different: click on the
player and move him around, or use the arrow
keys to move to the visible level part

new script commands:
* wraptext linelength,delimiters,text;
Word-wraps a text into pieces each of length
'linelength'; the result can be accessed by reading
#t(0..tokenscount-1)
* wraptext2 pixelwidth,zoomfactor,delimiters,text;
Wraps a text depending on the visible text width;
instead of the numbers of characters you give the
width of the text on the screen (in pixels);
the text can be like in showimg, e.g. @TimesRoman@b@text

#f(index) gives you the image of the npc with the
specified index

==2.121==

fixed ghost movement on graal2002,
also ghosts can now see ganis with script
like the torch lamps
