Amber Client

[DeadlyPencil]

i had to recently switch to your client since KT client has largely stop being updated. your client is missing a few features iam already missing though

Enhancement Requests:

• xp/hour/slot calculation & study time right in the tooltip of the curio, you can just make this in a text file that can be edited or something.
• drying frame coloring, can you consider only changing the color to green when its done, then not having any color while its drying or empty (so no red color)? also a less harsh green would be nice. the coloring right now is really ugly and doesn't look nice

[*]ability to set default chat window on login would be nice (kingdom or village for example)

BUGs:
your dewy mantle time indicator is still on after 7am and is on until 7:15am. it needs to go away earlier. dewy definatly doesn't spawn from 7:01 to 7:15. it might even end before that.

Is it possible to add a countdown timer to the redhanded debuff?

Outlaw debuff as well please.

What's the duration of these debuffs?

I have an idea!
Auto-drinking on enter/exit houses.
You are loading anyway, but that way you will make your tiem more efficient!

For the reasons others already listed previously, it's a no.

There doesn't seem to be a scroll wheel sort? This was something that's been around for many worlds. Does this function not exist in this client? i see the alt + left and alt+right click but that is not the same thing.

How does that work when multiple types of items are involved?
Most likely I won't be adding this as it's too much effort for too little benefit imo.

On windows machines using QWERTZ keyboards the alt+Z hotkey isn't anywhere convenient (as Z and Y have swapped places for historical but now nonsensical reasons).

So one important request, please:

Could you make the hotkey handling agnostic to language (using the scancodes for these, which are identical for whatever is printed on the keyboard) while for the rest use the translation provided by the operating system? This should fix the location of hotkeys to definite places on the keyboard, decoupled from the user selected language.

http://stackoverflow.com/a/26688875 has some background on now to archieve this.

If I remember correctly scan codes are not exposed at all by Java API on Linux/MacOSX. And on Windows they are not easily accessible except through reflection (which is what I did as a hotfix for tilde key for Russian layouts).
A proper key rebinding functionality would be better in the long term and I do have plans regarding it.
I'll try to hotfix the Y/Z issue for now though.

As a sidenote: would be great if you could port the craft/build menus from K-T as they're way more convenient to use than digging through the hirarchy...

Like a separate window where you can search for menus, that sort of thing? I've been wanting to add that for some time now... Will happen eventually.

Wow! Dead horse hitbox is added now. Could you please do the same for domesticated pigs and domesticated baby pigs?

I would, but don't have access to pigs atm.

Not sure if already fixed.
But if you click yourself somewhere, and while you are moving there right click somewhere.
Movement path turns to place that you right clicked but character keeps going forward.

Yeah forgot to exclude right clicks. Will fix sometime this week.

[*]drying frame coloring, can you consider only changing the color to green when its done, then not having any color while its drying or empty (so no red color)? also a less harsh green would be nice. the coloring right now is really ugly and doesn't look nice[/list]

That was done on purpose Less harsh colors are not very visible if you don't have night-vision enabled. And empty highlight is useful in cases when you have many racks tightly packed together. I'll take a look if they can be toned-down though.

how do you guys farm though with this client? you have a chest full of beets... you need 20 of them to refill your field how do u get the 20 best beats out?

in KT client if you alt+scrollwheel in the chest you could grab the 20 best ones out easy.

if you have multiple items in the chest like a higher carrots yes it will grab the carrot out while scrolling.. but usually you are dealing with like items and you don't mix your containers, especially when farming.

likewise there was an alt+shift+scrollwheel for the lowest item... this meant if you used them in combination u could sort tons of containers really fast... lets say you were doing enormous fields for wax production and u were storing carrots inside sheds... u need tons of sheds for all the carrots and u need to pull the best out of each...

Alt + rightclick might work

It's pretty much the same with alt+click.
Alt+click things into container then scroll back the number you need. Since they will be sorted in ascending order you will get highest quality first when scrolling back to inventory.

We could automatically activate some menus like harvest, split, etc but salem latikay's client has some better feature, basically you could automate any object menu in game

Could you implement something like that?

[romovs]

Yeah it would be nice to have, but it might be problematic when using Russian or Chinese localization since not everything is translated yet.
Is there anything in particular you need is missing? I added pluck/clean/butcher a few days ago which are not present in v1.43.1

Outlaw debuff as well please.

What's the duration of these debuffs?

1 hour for redhanded

hijacking your thread (you're the most active public dev out here)

I have been digging in the source code for the first time and WTF.
Loftar sure loves to make his code unreadable, no comments, member names with m.cz.pz.FUKZ ?

Have the wonderful wizards like you, Enderwiggin, and others, compiled some documentation to ease development ?

Update.


[*] Mussel picker and branch/coal fuelers from the extension menu.

Did the mussel picker not make it to 1.43.1? I cant seem to find it but would be very interested in having it.
