Nardo Lala Report post Posted November 22, 2003 Suggestions, suggestions.... This idea has been in my head a few days: What about improving the mouse pointer in the game so it fits better in style with the in-game graphics ? maybe even make it animated ? I have no knowledge of re-vamping this thing myself but i bet there are some people out there who can. What do you think ? :roll: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slayton Report post Posted November 22, 2003 would be nice, i think its even been suggest b4 that the cursor changes for the different actions your doing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Geelef Report post Posted November 22, 2003 Yeah, i'd like a hand or something, pointing where you click at. Sword/staff when fighting, you can think of stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Killerlamb Report post Posted November 22, 2003 This is one of the most simple but best plans every suggested for the game, nardo you are a real genius Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jjk Report post Posted November 23, 2003 that and names above our heads Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Geelef Report post Posted November 23, 2003 Names above our heads... Suggested before Although that thread is gone now... I still stick with the same thoughts i had then. Names above someones head are kinda screwy. I mean, IRL you dont know the name of everyone who walks by (I know, this is a game, but let me talk first). Second, names would kinda fuck with the look of the game, unless made in some medieval handwriting which no one can read. And, especially with the new avatars which show clothing, you probably remember the looks of your friends. If you wanna make sure someone is the one you are looking for, use the eye on him/her.

Nardo Lala Report post Posted November 23, 2003 O Mighty one, please reveal your oracle and riddle just outspoken... Will it be the pointer or the names above our heads ? :roll: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slayton Report post Posted November 23, 2003 i think he means pointers...but maybe names, i hope not names though. Or he just likes screwing with our heads Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Killerlamb Report post Posted November 23, 2003 WHy is there stuff about names above heads iun this topic anyways...these days *Shakes head* :lol: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roja Report post Posted November 23, 2003 he means the cursors(pointers), I already made some graphics for them...as for names above the head, he dind't mention that to me at all so I hope not Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nardo Lala Report post Posted November 23, 2003 Thank you Roja for your asuring words. :lol: I look forward as always to the development of it, knowing now that it has your touch also makes me even more anticipated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MoonShadow Report post Posted November 23, 2003 i think we will get those changing cursors for harvesting and entering houses caves etc soon i like the names thing above the heads too .. but only if i can disable them like alt + h for healthbars Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slayton Report post Posted November 23, 2003 yea i guess they wouldnt be to bad if u can toggle them off...so ppl to lazy to just use the other way of checking names can do that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pyderz Report post Posted November 23, 2003 Thats exactly like Another World. Toggling the names on and off worked very well. You could also just right click on them too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grum Report post Posted November 24, 2003 Aarghh...indeed, if names are added, then PLEASE include an option to turn them off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Colossus Report post Posted November 24, 2003 Names will get too "busy" in the UI. If you do add them, how about putting them "inside" the health bar since this piece of UI real estate is already being used. It could serve two purposes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pyderz Report post Posted November 24, 2003 Yes but what about long names that would excede the length of the healthbar. We cant make healthbars any bigger then they are now. :wink: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Entropy Report post Posted November 24, 2003 I think only the NPCs will have names... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Colossus Report post Posted November 24, 2003 Truncate the long names ... there are other ways to find the full name and the purpose would be for quick visual identify only ... I am still not sold that this would be a value add. I like some level of annonymity (sp?) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Geelef Report post Posted November 27, 2003 This is internet; you dont have privacy here Take a look at this: *noses around a bit* 'Hmmm, yeah, interesting. Was it you who killed JFK? Yeah, I knew it!' anyway, i like the idea of having names in a healthbar. Quite easy to get long names shorter. If your name is over so many pixels/characters you would have to input a name that shows in your healthbar. So, if your complete name is 'Sir Johnathan Joseph of Queensdale' you could let your healthbar name be 'Sir John' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grum Report post Posted November 27, 2003 Yuk. I HATE the idea of names above the characters :evil: I hate the idea of names in the health bar less, but i still don't like it. Not even for the NPCs. But that just me :? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
