The new Graal version is released! It's not just another bug fix release, it also brings new graphics for the tiles and the ghost mode. A short list of new things:
- new graphics for houses and trees
- new graphics engine, which means less resources taken by the game and more cards which can display lights (disable Direct3d in the graal options if your Graal is suddenly very slow), also switching to fullscreen and back to window mode works better
- scripting functions for string arrays
- graphical smilies in PMs
- auto-mapping
- editor enhancements like npc templates
The new ghost mode lets players without upgraded accounts see Graal2001 and other p2p servers. You can see the things, but you cannot talk or interact with other players or npcs. Soon that ghost mode will also be introduced to the 'free' servers: if you login and the limit of free players is exceeded then you will play as ghost and be put in a queue and you will need to wait until you are activated.
