| the copyrights to graal, although unixmad has done nothing but host some stupid weak as servers,
| | |
| and yet Stefan Knorr has done all the real work for Graal, and was the one to make ZeldaOnline

| an attempt to make it buggier and less fun than even Graal2001, about this time i was disgusted

| with unixmad and most of the other admins and decided to downright turn against Graal and for the
| | |
| most part stop playing the peice of crap in general. People starting getting angry, complaining,

| asking for help, and asking for refunds, of coarse unixmad gave noone a cash refund, and simply

| these are PAYING CUSTOMERS, they have the rights of basic service that they PAID for, unixmad
| |
| promises pay to play players a quality product and customer service, but instead gives them a
| |
| grade F product and ripps off his customers and delete they're accounts that they PAID HIM money
| |
| for, his excuse? Credit card fraud, when infact at least 90% of the people he bans for credit
| |
| card fraud pay legitamately with there OWN credit cards or pay via paypal by check, and yet
| |
| Unixmad has stolen and used others credit card numbers to buy things for himself on several
| |
| occassions, he also claims he needs pay to play money to keep graal alive and running, yet there
| |
| has been evidence that he makes at least 90% profit out of the monies he gets, and that he uses
| |
| illegal porn ad banners and illegal cookie style web tracking and giveing email adresses of the
| |
| players and even phone numbers of every player to spam and telemarketting companies without
| |
| there permission, he even keeps personal player info, includeing email, adress, and phone number
| |
| on unsecure servers which have already been leaked out, such info about people should not be on
| |
| a public webserver accessable to the internet in anyway, then after all that Unixmad starts
| |
| banning african american people, asians, koreans, and or people with images of people of that
| |
| race from the Graal2001 forums and graal itself, yet again they are paying customers and this
| |
| is another sickening act of racism on the part of Unixmad and GraalOnline, and then even more
| |
| disgusting is what Stefan posts on the Graal2001 forums, he makes several anti american, racist,
| |
| pro terrorist, pro nazi, and pro taliban comments on that post and goes on and on several pages
| |
| bashing americans, this post was offense, obcene, and disgusting to many people includeing myself
| |
| . If all that does not make you sick to your stomache or dislike unixmad yet, i am far from done, | |
| then Unixmad proceeds to illegally DDOS webservers of mafukie and make threats to him over the
| |
| phone, and has phone assaulted me over 40 times a day between midnight and 5am, and has made
| |
| threats to sue dozens of people, kill there families, and shut down innocent websites and
| |
| servers, while hosting illegal stuff and doing illegal things himself with the use of his own
| |
| wanadoo.fr servers, stuff which includes child porn, bestiality porn, DVD Piracy, DDOS Attacks,
| |
| theft of copyrighted materials from gameing companies such as nintendo, Credit Card fraud, theft,
| |
| spamming, phone harrassment, useage of illegal pirated corperate softwares, all this just to
| |
| start the list of what Unixmad, Stefan, and they're servers are doing 24/7 for nearly 4 years now
| |
| , anyone that likes unixmad or thinks he is a good person even after all this is clearly a fool,
| |
| everything in this document is the truth and why i hate unixmad so much, if you like unixmad
| |
| after all these sickening things he does, then you are no better than a KKK or Neo Nazi member
| |
| and should go kill yourselfs, i do not tolerate facists, racists, or nazis, they are all bad
| |
| people, and unixmad is one of the worst of the worst, and no person with any morales could
| |
| tolerate or support such a person like Stephane Portha or Stefan Knorr. The people that spin, lie
| |
| and bend the truth in support of unixmad will always exist, but i will always reveal the truth
| |
| about unixmad, and EVERYTHING said in this document is true, despite what any assclowns try and
| |
| say about this, and this supriseingly enough is only 1% of the bad things Unixmad has done, how
| |
| some people even tolerate, none the less support such a bad person is beyond me...
| |
| I fight against bad people like unixmad, why? Because unlike many others in this world i actually
| |
| care about other people, and i will do everything in my power to stop unixmad from hurting graal
| |
| or its innocent players, many say i want to destroy and kill graal, this is NOT true, i used to
| |
| love graal, i only wish to stop unixmad's evil sadistic illegal actions and restore graal to the
| |
| great game it used to be when it was "for the players, by the players" , but if i have to destroy
| |
| GraalOnline in exchange to stop unixmad's tyranny, it will be regreteable, but sometimes some
| |
| sacrifices have to be made for the greater good, lets just hope that unixmad drops dead and that
| |
| sacrifice never has to be made... I love graal and lots of its players, and i wish to someday
| |
| restore it to the grandness it once had, but bad people like unixmad must be gotten rid of if
| |
| that is to be achieved...

Welcome to the New Player Development Guide!
This guide is meant to assist new Graalians in finding fun development projects to help with.
Just playing Graal is fun, but when you've helped create part of the world it is much more rewarding!
The goal of this guide is to help new and existing players enter the world of developing their own content on Graal.
The Basics
A Playerworld project generally consists of at least a few people from the following developmental fields. Although these aren't the only groups, Graal is made up of three main development communities:
The Scripters
The Levelers
The Graphics Artists
Scripts
Staff of this category are generally referred to as NATs (NPC Administration Team).
Skyld, a former member of the Global Scripting Team, has written a decent introduction to scripting that can be found at GScript for Dummies.
GScript is a function based language which has many pre-defined functions triggered by game events, such as a player touching an NPC or typing out a word/phrase. Users may also create their own functions, which allows extremely flexible creation using GScript.
If you excel in HTML, JavaScript, or logic in general, mastering GScript will make you a highly sought after resource for many Playerworld projects.
Levels
Staff of this type are generally referred to as LATs (Level Administration Team).
Levelling is the process of placing tiles in a 64x64 grid which is saved as a .nw or .graal file using the Level Editor.
Some tiles allow a player to pass over them, while others do not. This is how we create the game-world and any terrain imaginable. A castle, for example, may have "wall" tiles which block the player, "chair" tiles for the throne which make the player sit, "water" tiles for the moat which make the player swim, and etc.
Levelling is widely considered the easiest developmental skill to learn. Many new players find it easy to pick up level making since the level editor is WYSIWYG or "What You See iWhat You Get". While levelling is easy to start out with, there are many techniques that a master leveler will use regularly to achieve amazing illusions of depth and detail.
A master leveler is valuable to a project not only for the feel of the world, but the speed at which it expands. An experienced level artist can build entire continents in a matter of days, rather than months as a beginner would. Strong levelling skills are the driving force behind any project.
Graphics
Staff of this type are generally referred to as GATs (Graphics Administration Team).
Making graphics is a very simple task for players who are more artistically inclined. Once you are familiar with how the game uses graphics it is only a matter of time and dedication with digital illustration programs to produce content for Graal.
For instance, a tileset used by the LATs is a grid of tiles. Depending where the tiles are placed on the grid determines if they are blocking, swimming, chair, etc tiles, and a GAT must put the correct tile in the correct area on the image.
For somebody who is a wiz with digital illustration, there are unlimited opportunities to join exciting projects.
Notes
Very small start, not even a complete outline yet.
Players: If you seek what this guide may some day hold, check Creation as a good starting point.
