Quick Bars (Action Buttons?)

Post by Resture »

Okay I don't know what the fucking thing is called.. so no I did not do a fucking search on the forums for a previous topic about this.

I love Haven & Hearth... favorite game ever. I really have no complaints at all about it... except one.
The little quick tab bar(refer to picture below).. for actions you can set so you don't have to browse through the menus to find them... you only have like 10 choices... which is not enough in my opinion.
Image

On most other games... not saying haven is like most other games... but come on now.. they have an option to choose from quick bar 1-10.
So I have put my really badass art skills to use to show you a picture reference of what I want implemented.(refer to picture below)
Image
I would like the option to set one for combat.. one for exploring... two for working around the town.. but instead when I start doing something else I have to reset my thing and it throws every thing off.
Mainly it's just frustrating that I only can choose 10 things when in reality I need like 20 things to fit in that little bar.. but obviously that is not possible at the moment.

That's my rant.

Bah, just use Pacho's client.

Indeed Pacho's works great for this. 10 just doesn't seem to be enough in some instances though. I'd love to see something similar to Ragnarok Online's Battle Layout where you can take three bars (Let's say Alt+8,Alt+9, Alt+0).
Alt+8 : QWERTYUIOP
Alt+9: ASDFGHJKL;
Alt+0: ZXCVBNM,./

Just opening more avenues. I find that when I battle there are quite a bit of moves/attacks to use and changing between bars while fighting is a pain, as is memorizing the actual shortcuts (especially since lag can screw these over bigtime).


Another thing I'd definitely like to see (maybe it's implemented and I'm crazy) is being able to drag equips to the bar to hot-swap ; Similar to wardrobes.

well, as it is obviously working on pacho's - why not implementing on the default client?
at least 2 bars (like one for peaceful actions, and one for fighting) would already do their thing

For this. :D

I mentioned it a while ago and Pacho's has too many issues with it. Abusive and otherwise. Not sure why this wasn't implemented originally.

Learn to program and mod the client. It's way easier than you'd think, don't be scared off just because Loftar does it, you don't have to be a genius, I'm living proof!

Honestly, I'd say fewer bars, ideally none, and more context-sensitive interactions.

I tried this and couldn't make heads or tails of a good deal of it. I think I spent 4 hours trying to figure out colors in a party, finally actually found it, and then just spend another 2 hours breaking stuff and still haven't figured it out.

I suppose I'll give it another shot, any suggestions for someone who doesn't know java from their ass to get acquianted looking through this code (since you've apparently done it). :P
