Game Development: UI Scaling

[Enjoyment_2]

this update was highkey scuffed as fuck and honestly a bad decision no one asked for

no, you're wrong
there was a tons of requests for this (in pm, of course), and

you guys broke every client that made the game tolerable lmao

not every client

> 71 files changed
haha I'm pretty sure you guys are fukt considering there isn't anybody developing any public clients rn

but only public, so the "core" of playerbase jorb care about still can benefit

but only public, so the "core" of playerbase jorb care about still can benefit

if only we could all be so lucky as to be in the exclusive circlejerks which give people access to private clients

Since this update, I have been experiencing random crashes related to opening random containers, such as one cabinet, but not another - one food trough, but not another, while on one server, but not the other (happening on the default and Amber.) Is anyone else experiencing this, or is there something wrong with my computer?

everybody: the vanilla client is literally unplayable wtf fix it
loftar: ok *does anything to improve vanilla client*
everybody: wtf you broke custom clients game unplayable

I'm sure it could be handled in a way more friendly to client devs a lot of the time, since I rly think hafen would lose like 50% of its population without them... But I feel sorry for Loftar when this is the response xd

loftar: ok *does anything to improve vanilla client*

Yeah, UI was at the highest priority above all other features literally all custom clients provide, to make the game playable.

But I guess those 10 people that play hafen on 200 inch diagonal, 8k monitors pretty much are 10% of the current playerbase

been trying official client, the most urgent needs I had:

- simpler mass transfer by item ql (alt+rightclick and alt+leftclick), uniform for both container and stockpile;

- visible slots for belt and hands, without going through character window

- small things like remembering toggles for ql, radius, scents...

- ability to add extra slot bar, and ability to add toggles to it

- animal handling, maybe use a parchment to create a list of animals like amber

1. noone asks to fix the vanilla - it is dead and unplayable
2. loftar didn't improved the client, but added the feature asked by 1 man and broke absoulutely unrelated stuff for hundreds
3. all of the public modders left maintaing their clients exactly beacuse of loftar and his unfriendly attitude to all the modders. of course, this isn't true in your case, because your clint is made by modder loved by loftar.

but, certainly, you're right and all others wrong...

Welp, 230 people were online before the update and now about 160 are online..
I guess those 70 don't matter.

Amber and Purus Pasta are broken.
Vanila would be great, if the stuff that @iamahh talks about would be implemented, but right now it takes twice as much time to do any basic stuff..

I'm guessing this is goodbye, @Jorb.. It's been nice wasting time in your game, finally I'll get some time freed-up for DF..
Have a nice one!

These changes were announced two weeks ago. If custom client makers do not merge the patches we provide to keep them going on deprecated builds, I'm not sure what more can be reasonably expected.

3. all of the public modders left maintaing their clients exactly beacuse of loftar and his unfriendly attitude to all the modders.

The client source code is open. We are currently maintaining an entire branch of deprecated resources solely for the purpose of supporting old customs. We have provided a patch to support the changes to the resource formats that we need to make, and given advance warning. Our attitude is as friendly as it can be, but we cannot halt development on the client indefinitely, and especially not when several custom client makers have likely dropped their projects.

I'm sure many custom client makers have tired of the game, its development, us, and a lot of things, and dropped their projects for such reasons, but I strongly doubt that our attitude toward custom clients is anyone's particular reason for doing so.

of course, this isn't true in your case, because your clint is made by modder loved by loftar.

What has loftar provided anyone that has not been provided to everyone? The old branch is there for anyone to pull, and I'm even reasonably certain that loftar will help answer anyone's questions regarding things like this should they have any particular to their own implementation. Drop this line of "argument".
