Era's New Inventory - Page 3

Tim_Rocks · #1 04-26-2014, 03:25 AM

I added a new option (not yet included in the "gear").

nice updates.

perhaps editing the item quantity font color to display in a matter that is not easily blended with the icon colors?

As hard as that seems, and as harsh as that could possibly be on the eyes, try like, orange, cyan, etc ?

The ninja-star-looking item in the bottom left of the inventory obviously has ### worth of an item, but I cannot make out the initial number.

Could just have a black outline or background for the text like this:

Also, just a sidenote, I much prefer having more than 4 rows of items visible at a time. It enables you to see more without so much scrolling.
And considering screen resolutions these days as opposed to the late 90s when this game came out, having more screen space taken up by the inventory isn't that big of a deal.

I can look into other solutions for the font. The problem w/ it at the moment is it won't let me change anything but the font size. It doesn't let me add drop shadows. Pretty much I just need to change the text object and it may work.

That's pretty much as good as it's gonna get. I increased the font a little and added a backdrop font.

can you make an option to disable the sound that occurs when you access the new inventory? it also happens when you grab an atm.

We are developing new sounds throughout all of Era. I will make the option work through the current ":themes" command that's already present.

I never play with sounds so I never hear these things.

Gotta at least hear some of it, Hattrix our new sounds guy does really great work. We've already got new unstick-me theme songs, casino themes, beach themes, hospital themes, and lastly underground mine themes.

I don't think so, I've addressed your issues and we no longer use the 'X' toggle. The hotkeys now have their own separate location in the slots so you can easily view quantity & your hotkey association on the fly.

Good news though, I added all your items to my inventory to make sure everything would sort out okay (not sure if you'd use auto sort or not). Everything looked great and functioned as advertised.

A feature that I added that I may not of announced was an updated auto-sort that is now always sorting items into tabs as you get new items (slot locations do save, so it's not going to sort those items again). And after negative feed-back I've removed the hotkey update: you now have two options for assigning hotkeys. You can either right click item slots and assign a key to the weapon by following the instructions, or you can continue using the old system in the HUD "gear".

As the only person here who should have an opinion on anything:

Other than the look of the new inventory (even with mini its still very gawdy) I do like the functionality to it. As someone who is very fashion conscious on Era, I do enjoy have the ability to keep all of my hats in one tab.

My only statement is, do not get rid of the old inventory. Despite everyone wanting to push Era forward, what I think everyone likes about Era is its freedom. To PK, to spar or raid, to make outfits etc, and pushing change without choice is definitely a way to isolate yourself from the players perspective.

The old inventory is the exact same as the new one if you want it to be. The new one does the exact same things as the old one, plus its bigger and is more customizable. Plus you can see more items in a column which means less scrolling, if you want, use one tab, and it's the same as the old. If you're complaining about the new inventory you're just doing it for attention and just for the sale of complaining.

I suppose my main issues w/ the old inventory is that it's very hard as a developer to make new updates when parts of the script are a mix between GS1 & GS2. Another issue I see is there's just a lot of information crammed in over the years as updates were made. It can be very overwhelming for potential new players. The last thing I'd like to point out is there's just so much fragmentation between GUIs all over Era and with this update we're bringing the server a little closer to having a standard appearance.
