19th March - The Colour(ful Inventory Windows) of Magic

I would really like the inventory window to stay where I move it. I don't like it in the middle of the screen and I'd much rather have it on the side, but it resets every time I use a crafting table. Maybe that's something they should consider. Does anyone else feel the same way?

 

You may have my sword, you may have my bow, but i want that axe in my hands.

 

You should work on matching the colour schemes of the handles.

 

And you shouldn't presume to decide priorities and such.

 

Yeah that could be a good idea, that way you wouldnt have to organise them every time you open the windows.
I think It would also be cool if there was a toggle-able setting that made windows move with the backround
(so basically if you walked right, the window would "stay in the same place" by moving left)[DOUBLEPOST=1426802491][/DOUBLEPOST]

I just think It would be nice to see how the handles would appear later in developement
currently some of the colours really clash so I can't really appraise the handle art yet (especially on the blue axes)

 

It's always interesting to see how different people react to things. When I saw the axes I thought nice and forgot it. I've gone through so much equipment but there are just a handful of weapons that I remember, which is quite a bit sad, considering how much effort you guys put in it. The colors for the windows would be a nice touch although I never ever considered the menu colored. And stacking windows? I don't really do that. I just put something from inventory to container or vice versa or I am scanning new stuff in so I'd be able to print it out.
So what really interests me here is that windows actually remember where they were the last time instead of obstinately popping up centered. Although I know from experience how tricky it sometimes is to make some darn windows behave themselves.

What always gives me a hard time with the GUI is finding the right crafting device for something. And it's not that I don't use the searching option. Maybe that is just too complicated to me. But I don't know how to change change that - I am just always searching some stuff.

But don't mind me, I don't want to spoil the fun - there are people that enjoy all the different weapons and the like. I can just (once again) see how taste runs different.

 

I think everything in the post looks good. Thanks.

 

I think it'd really help if you could merge like-style weapons, taking the visuals of one weapon and applying them to the stats of another.

That way, you have more reason to care about how a weapon looks... if you like the look of a particular ax, then you can give it another ax's stats and coordinate your full ensemble.

Seriously, CF, get on this.

 

Yeah, but see how limiting the mods were able to dig into, only increase or reduce the size of the windows, and that's a no-no. If modders try to do something like, add chat buttons as tabs instead this "one click-rotating button" on chat, or attempt to add a search function to the songbook GUI, it's impossible.

That's why they need or to improve it themselves, or give it power to be moddable, since the new font and everything they kinda didn't updated buttons / etc.

 

How much for the next patch, i'm too exited

 

Scriptable GUI. It's in the design phase, I think.

 

My suggestion to the window colors would be to allow us in the gui to set either custom colors or a group of color-sets to choose from.
This would help with accessibility and without alienating players.

 

Yeah we're waiting for that one, however they also need to improve the GUI themselves, as i pointed before the most silly thing of "unresponsive process" as loading screens has to change, then nicer things can happen.

Glad to see you are taking so much effort to keep us informed, mollygos ^^

 

Glad to see we're going back to DAILY dev blog updates!~
The axes look fabulous and I can't wait to see the updates about multiplayer!

 

Dem axes look cool I'd like to use them 1 handed it be cool

 

Shoot I haven't had much trouble with the current window system but seeing the new color system for the windows makes me want it anyway.

 

Nice stuff, I like it. The question is: does it come with dungean respawn points?

 

That Terry Pratchett reference, though. I teared up.

 

I'm glad I wasn't the only one who noticed this.
