GraalOnline provides several tools for administration and content creation. They can be downloaded by connecting with the game client to the server list, clicking on Start and then choosing "Install Packages".
Remote Control
The Remote Control is mainly an adminstration tool which lets you manage staff, set server options, chat with other staff and control connected players. It also provides functionality for developers: you can upload and download files, modify scripts and use chat functions to scan for scripts, show help about functions and variables and profile script functions to optimize them.

Level Editor
The Level Editor is an offline tool for designing and editing levels. A level is a small part of the world which is exactly 1024x1024 pixels wide and contains tiles (background), NPCs and links to other levels. Different levels can be connected to form a map.
Once the Level Editor package has been downloaded using the Install Packages option in the client, you will find a new program GraalEditor.exe in your Graal folder. You can also associate *.nw and *.graal files to the editor.
The editor can be used to draw tiles, place NPCs, add links and also directly test them to make sure they fit together. The editor is however limited to certain types of graphic formats and only has limited scripting capabilities.
Once a level or map has been edited, it must be uploaded to the server using the Remote Control and configured probably to appear on the server.
