World of Haven
--Old-School Graal!
Old-School Graal is about Graal before they removed all the little goodies that made offline play so much fun.  You're a Graal newbie if you don't remember that at one time, you could play multi-player offline on ONE computer.  Not only that, but you could save your games, too!  And then came Graal 2001, and the scripting and graphics possibilities really exploded, with ganis and lighteffects and stuff like that.  But all of a sudden, you couldn't save any more!  And playerworlds were the only place to play multiplayer!

So Graal v1.41, rev. 1, is still my favorite version of Graal.  And I decided to create a world specifically for 1.41 offline play.
Probably I'm not going to have much special multiplayer stuff, but I'll have a few games that more than one person will be able to play at a time.  I think.

So, coming soon: More downloads for my own, private, offline world -- the World of Haven.

Requirements:

To play my offline levels, you'll need to install Graal 1.41 rev.1.  If you already have 1.41, that's fantastic, but you need to create a new copy of it, because my levels will make certain changes to the graphics and previously-existing levels.  I don't know what changes yet, but I do know that pics1.png will be modified somewhat.  I want to include graphics from all versions of Graal, including the newest 2001 tiles, so pics1.png is going to be enlarged noticeably.  This will probably be the only graphical change, but I make no promises.

Why do you need 1.41?  Well, obviously the world is going to be so big (hopefully) that you'll want to save your game.  Also, 1.41 came with certain graphics and levels that I will use in my original levels.  For one thing, when you open 1.41 in Offline Mode, you begin in start1.graal automatically, without having to find the file and load it up.  I have modified this level to include it in the
World of Haven, and using 1.41 will make it easier to begin play at the proper location.

This is by no means completely planned out.  This project is a work in progress, and I want to hear whatever input you have to offer.  The more suggestions I get, the better the world will be.  :)

You may contact me, as usual, at filemonger@yahoo.com.  If you're commenting on or asking about this project, please put "old graal" in the subject line to make it easier to find your email when I need it. My AIM is Aylad2001 so feel free to IM me with questions and comments.  Unfortunately, I'm rarely on AIM, so email will probably be easier. You can also go to the Graal Haven Forum to post questions or comments. Thanks!
