| The current overworld will be replaced by a larger one soon. It will have more of a square shape, allowing players to roam Dark Rival a bit more. It will also have many more secrets than the current overworld. Eventually, there will be 3 active overworlds, for the three parts of the Dark Rival storyline. We are currently adding features to DR now. Including longer quests for rare items, more exclusive items and games, Auction House, marketplace, pets, games, lotteries, casino games, and more! There may be some small bugs, if you have any trouble, use the in game bug report system (found in the Player System weapon, under systems), or e-mail Excaliber (the owner) at excaliber7388@yahoo.com | | The current overworld will be replaced by a larger one soon.

| We're currently working on a new overworld/gmap. It will be bigger and better looking than the last one.
| | DR recently introduced an in game Computer for staff to test. Basically, it allows the players to send e-mails to each other, chat off the IRC, in game, go on the internet, and soon, play games. After a few days testing we will release it to the public (it will be released without games, however, you will receive a freebie or two automatically, and most you will have to buy). Start saving your money up! |
| We are currently making the switch to GS2, and I have added new features that make use of this engine, including a better playersystem, better tailor system, and nore. Eventually, all of Dark Rival will take advantage of this new engine.
| |
| NEW markets! Now players can sell or auction their items. have fun with it ^_^.
| |
| Now there are 3 different 'camera' modes, chase, 'player' and the normal one. Enjoy!
| |
| The outfit viewer has now been added, please report any bugs you encounter.
| |
| We have recently added more events, and the server is now for V4 only (due to the growing number of GS2 scripts). We are also currently adding new weapons and features. Like a new larger quests, rpg style weapons, telescope, CTF, lazer tag, mini games, 3D games and events, nations, instruments, RPG elements, lotery, pets, and more!

| | | Dark Rival first went online July 27th 2005. From there it grew from having around 400 levels to well over 1000 now. For the longest time, Dark Rival was one of the fastest growing servers around. However, due to popularity, lack of staff activity, and a slow internet connection on the owner's part, the server was shut down. Excaliber has decided to RESTART Dark Rival! It will take a while, due to the lack of Mac dev tools |
| Dark Rival first went online July 27th 2005. From there it grew from having around 400 levels to well over 1000 now, and it's STILL growing! Dark Rival remains to be one of the fastest growing servers around! Dark Rival also has some of the most unique elements, including a storyline, weapons, and the general feel that Dark Rival brings to Graal. RPG elements will also soon be added, in the prequel and sequel, as well as weapon skills in the current game. DR offers plenty of jobs, skills, quests, and mysteries for the player to solve. It plays like a classic server, but is much more complex. Dark Rival will continue to grow, hopefully, you can be a part of it!Also Look For Instruments! | | >=( |
| | Once these are available, DR can come back to life. |

| == '''Excaliber's Scripting Guide''' ==
| |
| I'm hoping this allows people to learn how to script a bit easier, I believe all staff should know some scripting basics, and I find other GS2 guides hard to follow.
| |
|
| |
| Starting:
| |
|
| |
| Level NPCs:
| |
|
| |
| A level NPC is an npc that functions in a specific level. These are the most common on most servers. They are also a very important part of developement.
| |
|
| |
| A script:
| |
| <pre>
| |
| //this is a note
| |
| /*
| |
|
| |
| this is also a note, these help make scripts more clear
| |
| this type of note can go on as longe as it's inclosed
| |
| */
| |
| //#CLIENTSIDE
| |
| //This tells the computer that the following
| |
| //script will be on the players client,
| |
| //as opposed to the server, this is very important.
| |
| function onPlayertouchesme()
| |
| //this checks if the player has touched the NPC
| |
| { // starting bracket
| |
| message("Hey!"); //displays a message above the NPC
| |
| }//closing bracket
| |
| </pre>
| |
| The above script checks to see if the event, playertouchsme is true, then acts on what is in the bracket. It is important to include this clientside, because too many serverside scripts can cause problems for an NPC server, however thay are more secure. If you wanted to do the last script serverside, you would omit the //#CLIENTSIDE , and add the shape to the NPC:
| |
| <pre>
| |
| function onCreated()
| |
| {
| |
| setshape(1,32,32);
| |
| setimg("block.png");
| |
| //img can also be done in the box above the script
| |
| }
| |
| function onPlayertouchsme()
| |
| {
| |
| message("You made a serverside script!");
| |
| }
| |
| </pre>
| |
| This takes a bit longer than clientside commands, and it takes up serverside script time, however, for secure actions, it may be necessary.
| |
| A secure script example:
| |
| <pre>
| |
| function onCreated()
| |
| {
| |
| this.account="Excaliber7388";
| |
| setshape 1,32,32;
| |
| chat="Excaliber's Chest";
| |
| }
| |
| function onPlayertouchsme()
| |
| {
| |
| if(player.account==this.account)
| |
| {
| |
| chat="This is a secure message!";
| |
| }
| |
| }
| |
| </pre>
| |
| First, I would like to quickly point out the 'if' statement. Some guides go into this a lot, but it's actually quite simple. The if statement is a very important part of scripting. It's what allows the NPC to make choices. The code withing the brackests of an if statement will only execute if the statement is true. Also, there is a catchall statement you can use, else. If the if statement is not true, the else will exectue it's script, other wise it is ignored.
| |
| Example:
| |
| <pre>
| |
| //#CLIENTSIDE
| |
| function onCreated()
| |
| {
| |
| this.a=1;
| |
| }
| |
| if(this.a==1)
| |
| //always use '==' for comparasons, NEVER just '=' as '=' is for assignments
| |
| {
| |
| this.b=2;
| |
| }
| |
| else if(this.a==2) //will only execute if first is false, AND this.a==2
| |
| {
| |
| this.b=3;
| |
| }
| |
| else //catch all if above 2 statements are false
| |
| {
| |
| this.b=4;
| |
| }
| |
| </pre>
| |
| Now, in the above example, this.b will always be 2, however, it's the format that's important.
| |
| <pre>
| |
| if(statement)
| |
| else if(statement)
| |
| else if(statement //may be used many times
| |
| else //catch all
| |
| </pre>
| |
| Now, back to serverside and clientside scripts:
| |
| By putting the checks on serverside, you disable a hackers ability to send an action from their client. So, this script is much more secure, and can only be accessed by the specified account (Excaliber7388 in this case). Dark Rival does these checks serverside as well, but we also apply a different method, to avoid having too much serverside script time:
| |
| <pre>
| |
| function onCreated()
| |
| {
| |
| this.account="Excaliber7388";
| |
| setshape 1,32,32;
| |
| chat="Excaliber's Chest";
| |
| }
| |
| function onActiontouched()
| |
| {
| |
| if(player.account==this.account)
| |
| {
| |
| chat="Yup, this is still secure, yay!";
| |
| }
| |
| }
| |
| //#CLIENTSIDE
| |
| function onPlayertouchsme()
| |
| {
| |
| triggeraction(x,y,"Touched","Touched";//no params needed
| |
| }
| |
| </pre>
| |
| This script will take up more time, but the playertouchsme check is clientside. Would this help much? Probably not, in fact, sending the action in this case would probably create more lag than having the script serverside. However, if a large portion of the script is serverside, and can be moved to clientside without risking security, it may be a good idea.
| |
| Serverisde timeouts=bad idea.
| |
| You shouldn't send to many actions to serverside, especially if you do so quickly. You should always limit the serverside timeouts, and the amount of time between actions to the server from client should be spaced out. Also, you should never have a timeout shorter than .05 on serverside, though it is possible, please do not do it. Dark Rival has had problems in the ast regarding serverside loops, however these have ben fixed.
| |
| Here are two examples of serverside scripts, the first it [b]VERY[/b] bad, the second is more productive:
| |
| <pre>
| |
| function onCreated()
| |
| {
| |
| setshape 1,32,32;
| |
| }
| |
| function onActiontime()
| |
| {
| |
| for(server.i=0;server.i<5;server.i++)
| |
| //WHY use server for this???
| |
| //for loops, use this. it works only for this NPC
| |
| {
| |
| sleep(.01);
| |
| //WAY to short of a sleep time for the server
| |
| }
| |
| server.time+=.1;
| |
| }
| |
| //#CLIENTSIDE
| |
| function onCreated()
| |
| {
| |
| settimer(.05); //minimum clientside timeout
| |
| }
| |
| function onTimeout()
| |
| {
| |
| trigegraction(x,y,"time","time");
| |
| settimer(.05);
| |
| //will cause a loop through the timeout, sending action
| |
| //to serverside TOO quickly, AND while the server is
| |
| //still working on the last action. This WILL cause the
| |
| //server to crash.
| |
| }
| |
| </pre>
| |
| If you put the above script on a server, say goodbye to your NPC server, because it will crach pretty quickly!
| |
| A better version:
| |
| <pre>function onCreated()
| |
| {
| |
| setshape 1,32,32;
| |
| //setshape is needed for all level NPCs triggeractions
| |
| //this setsit to a square of tiles 32 pix by 32 pix
| |
| }
| |
| function onActiontime()
| |
| {
| |
| server.time++;
| |
| //no need for incredible accuracy
| |
| }
| |
| //#CLIENTSIDE
| |
| function onCreated()
| |
| {
| |
| settimer(1);
| |
| }
| |
| function onTimeout()
| |
| {
| |
| triggeraction(x,y,"time","time");
| |
| settimer(1);
| |
| }
| |
| </pre>
| |
| This will execute the script less often, however, it still is an unlimited loop. Don't have too many of these NPCs, or you could have problems!
| |
|
| |
| Now, you may have noticed this line in the bad script:
| |
| <pre>
| |
| for(server.i=0;server.i<5;server.i++)
| |
| </pre>
| |
| This is a 'for' loop. There are many types of loops, however the foor loop isn't the easiers to learn first. Therefore, I will show you the 'while loop' first.
| |
| The while loop executes whatever is held within it's brackets as lond as the statement within it is true. The while loop is just like an if statement, but you cannot use else with a with statement.
| |
| format:
| |
| <pre>
| |
| wile(statments)
| |
| {
| |
| //commands
| |
| }
| |
| //if statment is still true, it will loop
| |
| </pre>
| |
| here's a script example:
| |
| <pre>
| |
| //#CLIENTSIDE
| |
| function onCreated()
| |
| {
| |
| this.size=10;
| |
| }
| |
| while(this.size<=20) //while this.size is less than or equal to 20
| |
| {
| |
| chat="The fish was " @this.size@ " centimeters long!";
| |
| //as the story is retold....
| |
| sleep(.5);
| |
| this.size=this.size+1;
| |
| //increment the size
| |
| }
| |
| </pre>
| |
| The above script will run through the loop until this.size is equal or greater than 20.
| |
| Some important things to know:
| |
| <pre>
| |
| if(a==b) means if a is equal to b
| |
| if(a<b) means if a is less than b
| |
| if(a>b) means if a is greater than b
| |
| if(a<=b) means if a is less than or equal to be
| |
| if(a>=b) means if a is greater than or equal to be
| |
| a++ is the same as a=a+1
| |
| a-- is the same as a=a-1
| |
| a+=b means a=a+b
| |
| a-=b means a=a-b
| |
| a*=b means a=a*b (multiplied by b)
| |
| a/=b means a=a/b
| |
| ++a is just like a, but it will add to a before anything else in the line,
| |
| this is not important to know now
| |
| --a just like ++a, but with subtraction
| |
| a%b Modulus, basically, its a/b and th remainder is the output
| |
| for example 10%3=1
| |
| </pre>
| |
| These may be helpfull in loops, or in any other rational expressions you may use. (Well, it's important for all scripting!)
| |
| Now, recall this line:
| |
| <pre>
| |
| chat="The fish was " @this.size@ " centimeters long!";
| |
| </pre>
| |
| The output for this is: The fish was (size here) centimeters long!
| |
| The script NEEDS to know where a variable is, so if you want to put it in between a string you surround it with the '@' symbol. Or if it's at the end, you only put the '@' at the beggining of the variable. The variable and the '@' do NOT go in the quotes. Example:
| |
| <pre>
| |
| //#CLIENTSIDE
| |
| function onPlayertouchsme()
| |
| {
| |
| chat="Well hi there, " @player.account@ " I like your sword, " @player.swordimg;
| |
| }
| |
| </pre>
| |
| This would display the player's account, and sword image.
| |
|
| |
| Now, back to the 'for' loop.
| |
| This a very interesting loop it's format is as follows:
| |
| <pre>
| |
| for(command;expression;command)
| |
| {
| |
| }
| |
| </pre>
| |
| Here's an example:
| |
| <pre>
| |
| //#CLIENTSIDE
| |
| function onPlayertouchsme()
| |
| {
| |
| for(this.i=0;this.i<10;this.i++)
| |
| {
| |
| chat="Loops: " @this.i;
| |
| sleep(.5);
| |
| }
| |
| }
| |
| </pre>
| |
| This loop would be activated when the player touchs it.
| |
| It would go through 10 loops, displaying the count, and taking .5 seconds for each loop (due to the sleep() command)
| |
| Now remember this while loop?
| |
| <pre>
| |
| function onCreated()
| |
| {
| |
| this.size=10;
| |
| }
| |
| while(this.size<=20)
| |
| {
| |
| chat="The fish was " @this.size@ " centimeters long!";
| |
| //as the story is retold....
| |
| sleep(.5);
| |
| this.size=this.size+1;
| |
| //increment the size
| |
| }
| |
| </pre>
| |
| There's an easier way of doing it with a for loop, in fact all loops done with wile can be replaced by for.
| |
| <pre>
| |
| for(this.size=10;this.size<=20;this.size++)
| |
| {
| |
| chat="The fish was " @this.size@ " centimeters long!";
| |
| sleep(.5);
| |
| }
| |
| </pre>
| |
| See? Much shorter and easier to use!
| |
| Once you know the format of a for loop, you can make longer and more complex loops as well, and they'll take less time to script, which is always a bonus.
| |
|
| |
| Some more detail on actions:
| |
| An action is an effective way to use a portion of script more than once, have one script act on another script, more script to serverside from clientside (and the other way) and more.
| |
| So how do you use them? Here's the format:
| |
| <pre>
| |
| triggeraction(x,y,"params[0]","params[1]");
| |
| </pre>
| |
| You must have two parameters, but you can have as many as you want a quick example:
| |
| <pre>
| |
| function onCreated()
| |
| {
| |
| setshape 1,32,32;
| |
| }
| |
| function onActiontrigger()
| |
| {
| |
| player.chat="Account: " @params[1]@ " Sword " @params[2]@ " head: " @params[3];
| |
| }
| |
| //#CLIENTSIDE
| |
| function onPlayerchats()
| |
| {
| |
| if(player.chat=="Who am I?") //amnesia? multiple identities?
| |
| {
| |
| triggeraction(x,y,"trigger",player.account,player.swordimg,player.headimg);
| |
| }
| |
| }
| |
| </pre>
| |
| See? You can make more than one parameter.
| |
| Now, there are a few differences between a level NPC with a triggeraction, and a weapon with a triggeraction. Weapons need their location (serverside or clientside) as the first parameter, params[0] is the one after it. Here, you can have just one parameter, and the x and y is always 0 (because the npc server is at 0,0), and you need to include the name of the weapon in the action.
| |
| here's an example:
| |
| <pre>
| |
| //weapon script with a triggeraction
| |
| //Weapon name: Fire Ball
| |
| function onActionserverside()
| |
| {
| |
| if(params[0]=="mp")
| |
| {
| |
| playermp-=10
| |
| }
| |
| }
| |
| //#CLIENTSIDE
| |
| function onWeaponfired()
| |
| {
| |
| if(playermp>=10)
| |
| {
| |
| shootfireball(playerdir);
| |
| triggeraction(0,0,"serverside","Fireball","mp");
| |
| }
| |
| else
| |
| {
| |
| player.chat="Not enough mp!";
| |
| }
| |
| }
| |
| </pre>
| |
| This nifty little weapon will cost 10 mp per use, and fires a fireball in the direction the player is facing. Hopefully, you can learn to make many weapons of your own!
| |
| Triggeractions can be used in shops as well (and these are the scripts people ask for the most).
| |
| <pre>
| |
| //a shop script, yay!
| |
| function onCreated()
| |
| {
| |
| setshape 1,32,32;
| |
| }
| |
| function onActionbuy()
| |
| {
| |
| if(playerrupees>=100)
| |
| {
| |
| addweapon Fire Ball;
| |
| playerrupees-=100;
| |
| }
| |
| }
| |
| //#CLIENTSIDE
| |

| There, now you can make a little shop that sells a Fire Ball weapon. Have fun with it, search the commands, there's plenty of easy weapons you can make, and the weapon script is easy to follow and modify as well. Hopefully, you know enough about parameters to make more than one weapon for sale in the same NPC, just make the weapon name part of the action, then check for that parameter before they can buy.

The current overworld will be replaced by a larger one soon. It will have more of a square shape, allowing players to roam Dark Rival a bit more. It will also have many more secrets than the current overworld. Eventually, there will be 3 active overworlds, for the three parts of the Dark Rival storyline. We are currently adding features to DR now. Including longer quests for rare items, more exclusive items and games, Auction House, marketplace, pets, games, lotteries, casino games, and more! There may be some small bugs, if you have any trouble, use the in game bug report system (found in the Player System weapon, under systems), or e-mail Excaliber (the owner) at excaliber7388@yahoo.com
News:
Dark Rival is trying out for the hosted tab. Wish us luck!
DR recently introduced an in game Computer for staff to test. Basically, it allows the players to send e-mails to each other, chat off the IRC, in game, go on the internet, and soon, play games. After a few days testing we will release it to the public (it will be released without games, however, you will receive a freebie or two automatically, and most you will have to buy). Start saving your money up!
About:
Dark Rival first went online July 27th 2005. From there it grew from having around 400 levels to well over 1000 now. For the longest time, Dark Rival was one of the fastest growing servers around. However, due to popularity, lack of staff activity, and a slow internet connection on the owner's part, the server was shut down. Excaliber has decided to RESTART Dark Rival! It will take a while, due to the lack of Mac dev tools
>=(
Once these are available, DR can come back to life.
Story:
Dark Rival is basically a three part story, played out on three different overworlds. So far, only one of these overworlds is near completion, and will soon be replaced by an even larger overworld. This is actually the middle part of the story. You play as yourself in the first part, taking over for a hero who has disapeared. Then you enter a flashback, and play as the old hero, finding out more about the plot. Finally, you team up to defeat the 'Dark Rival' in the final part, introducing new ways of playing graal. After that, it's up to the players to see what direction Dark Rival will go in, as they have to 'rebuild' the world after Ceverous (the Dark Rival) is defeated, and there will be a power struggle for control of the world, as 2 nations fight for control. It's going to be a very realistic, time and player based server, and I hope you can be a part of it!

Hiring!
We are hiring LATs, NATs, GATs, Events, and Gps. We also could use someone who can convert normal levels into gmap format.
- LATs::
LATs, (Level Administration Team) would be responsible for the uploading, maintnence, and developement of levels. Currently, we are making a new overworld, so much of the work would go to making a unique world.
NATs, (NPC Administration Team) would be responsible for the uploading, maintnence, and creation of new and exciting scripts and NPCS. Dark Rival has many weapons, and unique systems, and the NAT's input is greatly appreciated.
GATs, (GFX Administration Team) would be responsibe for the uploading, maintnence, and creation of new, unique graphics.
The application is here: http://darkrivalonline.tripod.com/id9.html
How to become a good staff member
ALWAYS practice your skills. If yo're an LAT, look at levels other players have made the Graal forums, [1]is a great place to do this.
The forums aren't just good for LATs, however, they provide help on scripting, ganis, and gfx. It's a great place to learn, and become a part of the Graal community. I suggest to all current DR staff, and to all potential staff, to take advantage of the forums, Graal Bible, and any other resources they can find to become better developers. If you want to become an Events Team member, or a GP, I suggest asking other Events/GPs on multiple servers about their jobs, what they have to do, and how they became staff. Play on the server a lot, follow all the rules on that server, and play events. Really, this goes for all possitions as well. Get to know the server before you apply. Dark Rival, and the rest of Graal for that matter, is always looking for more developers, and more staff. It's not to hard to learn, so get a jump on it now! I hope to see you as staff on Dark Rival in the future!
