Ridiculous Colors - 2

Rezon · 11-15-2011

They won't change anything because of custom bodies. Might as well soak 10k from your balance for a new color rather than change things around.

unfortunatly it doesnt seem like this would be possible, i guess they could just make the text say tan instead of orange, but its actually set as orange. i dont see how they can change it, would probably screw up alot of already existing things.

Isn't there anyway to add a whole new set of pallettes? They could have a box you could click on to open the original color pallete and another box to open the new one.

Something needs to be done about this. The colors in the place where you can change your body color are extremely off. I think the colors need to be changed so it will look more appealing on custom looks. I made a list of the colors I think need to be changed and I put a check next to the ones I think are ok. I don't even know what the heck cynober is so I just put a question mark. They should add an extra one if they change these colors for skin called "Tan". Do you guys think these colors need to be changed?

These are the colors that have been in place since Graal was made. They are the same colors Graal wide, and they aren't gonna change.

When scripting the attributes of NPCs you can use a float for the NPC skin color, for example:

PHP Code:


			
 this.colors[0] = 100; // black

 this.colors[1] = 5; // red

 this.colors[2] = 5; // red

 this.colors[3] = 10; // blue

 this.colors[4] = 10; // blue

I guess this isn't the same for iPhone servers? That doesn't make sense at all though because the iPhone client is just a modified version of the Mac client and supports the same GScript2 for the most part. This may be an exception... If this is the case, Stefan could step in and fix this if he really wanted to.

I really hope they would kindly add those newer colors to our color palettes.

Yephenpeace · 11-16-2011

They could keep the skin colour "orange" and just add a colour called "dark orange". No need to change what is already there.

i complete agree with this thread, i hope something will be done about this in the future.

LOL Welcome to Graal.

That about sums it up! Use custom bodies for anything else if you really want to. Doubt administration would change the color options from tradition from a single server.

The ability to have more colors is already there. All they'd need to do is add a way for players to actually SELECT the colors.

On PC servers they can be selected by saying a command, right? Perhaps the colors should be updated, adding the other colors but keeping the original ones.

(Referring to the large pictures he posted, I feel like reposting them is a bit too much.)

Are you saying you don't like the easter green?!

They're already added, and they're not overwriting the original colors. They're there, such as "PowderBlue." How they're implemented is up to the server. Most servers have commands such as "setcoat powderblue" but it's up to the server to implement ways to access said colors, and it's up to the iPhone servers as well.

Yes, Zodiac has this.

One of the things that iPhone lacks and would be really nice to see is the "setskin ____" commands. I don't really understand why they took it out, but it would actually be kind of nice if they put it back!

Of course, the argument can be made that the quality of servers are generally better when the chat commands are eliminated and replaced with buttons - it's just more professional and looks better in my opinion - this is a part of Graal and it would actually help the server. Plus it isn't right not being there

. (At least setattr's... sethead and stuff could be changed so if you tried to set your head to a head that isn't already available to you it could give you a message saying that "head### isn't available to you.)

Winter · 11-17-2011

I see now, thanks. Maybe an option next to the color like "More Colors"? That's what I would like to see.

Following up on MattKan's post about the setcoat, setnick, setskin, etc. commands, I think the platform may be a factor. As opposed to the computer, iDevices are owned by people of all different ages, and the app is not restricted to a certain age group. Seeing as some very young players may be confused by this type of command, the interface may purposely look more friendly to anybody who picks up the game. This includes menus, guilds, profiles, etc.

On a side note, if you try setnick on the iPhone and Facebook servers, the text doesn't appear, just as it behaves when you unstick, showlag, setsword, or setshield. However, setnick does not work. Obviously, something is scripted in there, just not completed!
