Suggestion for future clients

Postby venatorvenator » Mon Aug 31, 2015 5:45 pm

Also read this please: viewtopic.php?f=40&t=40682

If someone is making a new client it would be nice if it had options for better performance. For me, at least, it's heavy on my RAM, and it doesn't respond well to clicks - it lags on a good hour and crawls the rest of the time. It might be just me, but I need five clicks to pick a nettle and more than a dozen to follow moving things. I don't know how that's done, however. Uglier textures perhaps?

Chat colors are also hard to read, so some change to the dark background or an option of monochromatic party colors would be welcome as well.

One request I would love to have implemented would be having a toggle to show specific bushes/trees on the minimap. I don't know much about modding this client, but I may try to dive in.

What I would love to see is a grid overlay, I can't go straight when I'm plowing, I think I'm about to delve into the code myself just to make that. By the way, thanks to all the great client makers! You guys rock.

laptop mode for the mouse stuff. i can't scroll to rotate things because i'm playing on a laptop. can't zoom out/in with the mouse either.
unless someone's got a solution already.

Would be nice to have an option that automatically logout after 5 minutes of inactivity, to save gametime.

Remove blue color from party chat. Or make it brighter (like in private chat).

Seconding grid overlay not having that will get old fast.

I had a list of things I wanted to look into doing but probably won't have time/will be too lazy to achieve:

Larger hit boxes and low alpha circles for foragables.
Minimap zoom out to show all 9 maps.
Agro radius.
Percentage on progress timer overlays/main hourglass.
Extended tooltips. (likely reliant on the wiki surfacing)
More optimised and rejiggered status window making better use of screen space.
Floatable Mentory window and button.
Indicate hotspots on all cursors.
