Wish list / Interface change suggestions?
« on: May 31, 2005, 06:59:14 am »
Hello! I have never posted here, as I do not have much complaints, and I like the plans that the devs have. However, I am wondering what thoughts people have on the most obvious part of Planeshift: the interface!
A few things I would liked changed:
The /tell and add/remove buddy popups fro mteh buddy window not only are hard to use with long commands, but steal the focus. It can be dangerous to try to use them as a shortcut if you might be attacked!

There is no way to copy and paste text- moving shortcuts requires rewriting them.
With the command line, you can atleast scroll up to previous commands, and go to the start of the line with Home, but you can\'t click in the middle.

Many of the icons to not make sense- it may be funny to have an axe for shorctus, but will a new player think to click there for commands? Similarly the two icons for looting are not clear wihich is to split loot, and which is to keep it.

Other thoughts?  :)

For windows users- many have an error where it asks to save a dump as soon as you start, ending in 1F82, but you could ignore that window and keep going.
For linux users- you sigfaulted or otherwise crashed on load, and after a few more attempts it would suddenly work without problem.

Both errors are caused by the same source- a tga file that cannot be read by current CS. For now, the solution is to remove planeshift/art/effects/flame01.tga. A fix to CS is in the works, and hopefully will be in the next update :)

Many thanks to Gothi[c], and the fine people of #planeshift-build who helped hunt this down!
