Public and Personal Uploads
 

Shields and Swords can now be uploaded for public consumption. Shields and Swords uploaded prior to this update were uploaded as personal graphics which are now only allowed to be used by the player that uploaded them.

Public graphics also use the file name you specify when you upload them so a sword uploaded as fp4s_awesome_sword.png will be uploaded as fp4s_awesome_sword.png when it's approved.

New Personal Shields and Swords codes you are given after being uploaded and approved will also be much shorter.

Before the update you were given a ridiculously long code:
setsword classic_personal_sword_youraccountname-123.png

After the update you are now given a much shorter version of the code:
setsword personal123.png

All swords and shields uploaded before this update can still use the short versions of the code you just need the number at the end of the file name. In the example above that number is 123.

Great update :D

Does that mean I have to Re-Upload my shields/sword as a public graphic if I want to share it with my friends?

Sweet

Yes, but you at least have control of the file name / code now.

So all the personal shields and swords I have to re upload .____.

Srs remove this update please some of my friends made shields for me and uploaded so i never can wear them again...

i don't understand this update.

So what happened in this update? Is it supposed to be a privacy-related update or is it supposed to be only to shorten up the sword and shield codes?

^Both.

Really good update, except if you're in Mike or Gambit's situation.

I couldn't care less about code, I just slot it to friends.
Now I have to spend double the money, wow.

Hardly, it's not as though YOU don't have access to YOUR shield so I don't understand why YOU would have to spend double money.

I love thid update, but I'm a little confused about the personal shields and swords we already uploaded. Are these public still or are they private to us now?

They had to fix it somehow. Just be happy you can name your uploads again.

If you have uploaded a shield or sword with the uploads system and it is currently named something like classic_personal_shield_1234567-100.png then it is now personal to you. This means that nobody else can wear that graphic, and you are able to set it through saying "setshield personal100.png" instead of the huge line you were originally given.

Forgot to add in the update that public shields and swords are now 1000g to upload and personal shields and swords are 2500g.

Prices are listed on the upload site now.

I think this is the best update in a long time. I can't see the personal uploads being used much though.

Just thought, now that we know:

You can sell the personal graphics that you own for half price (so your shield/swords which are worth 2500g divided by 2 = 1250g) and that means you can upload public and make 250g out of it!

gah dammit that was fast. right after i started telling people to test it out you post this and its gonna get patched :(

i was hoping to get it spread quickly so players could get lots of money and buy stuff without needing to farm for hours or buying a gralat pack :(

It isn't going to get patched, there's a difference between a public and private upload and the pricing hasn't exactly increased from what it was. If people want to make their private uploads public then that's up to them.

but you can upload a shield as a public and refund it and get the refund within the 30 minutes for full price of what a private upload costs, isnt that what your saying?. aka making money out of nothing? thats going to be patched soon

I didn't say that at all, re-read.

You can't get public uploads refunded. :noob:

I understand now, a bit of a confusing update at first.

ah, ah well, i was hoping no one thought of it and that id be able to get it spread so everyone did it before it got patched..

There's nothing to patch... public uploads cost less, so if you want to replace your personal uploads with public ones, you'll make a profit.

yea i mistook it for him saying that you could use the full refund to get a public upload (which costs less) and get the old full refund, a refund of the price for the personel shields.

i though he was talking about the potential loophole/glitch that i was wondering if it worked, because if the price was changed but they forgot to change the full refund price to be the right price if it was uploaded as public shield. but as Fp4 said they made it so you cant refund public so it wont work.

"I don't often develop for Classic iPhone, but when I do I make the other staff look like fools [or something like this]." -Fp4

Very, very true.

but... everything in graal will soon cost gralats or what? Will it costs gralats to ride our horse? if i want a shield, i want it free plz

Shields and swords costing money happened a long time ago now.

wow they actually implemented something useful

If anyone can send the file classic_personal_sword_graal783153-103.png to [email protected], I'd be grateful. I would like for this to be public, but I no longer have the file, and since this update it has become a personal upload. Plus, if I refund for 1250 gralats and upload public for 1000, I make 250 gralat profit! :D

whoever made that pikachu body is pretty pimp

Great update!
