UI Release: Feedback Thread Part 2

Information Dev's Corner

I would argue that current opacity for only inner radar circle is great.
Instead adding opacity for whole radar UI, second option for coordinates area would be preferred.

For interest I previously posted this one as a bug (in the previous bug thread) since the wording in options is “hidden” not “disabled” and hidden does not imply disabled.

PS Not an invitation for MA to change the text to fit the functionality BTW ,-) Please change the functionality to fit the text!

I’ve notice this also, although it’s a little different for me.

For me it’s…
[ol]
[li]Clicking on an action icon (even an empty one) will stop me from pressing the Escape key.[/li][li]But if I click on the top part (Tabs) of the chat window, I can then press the Escape key to get the “Main Menu” to show.[/li][/ol]
This is all while having additional chat windows open outside the main chat window.

Seems the reason for this is the items use the Escape key for quitting the Auto-Use tool, and doesn’t seem to lose focus thereafter.

Alternatively “F12” is set as the default binding key for “Exit Entropia Universe”.

Odd, i have had happen few times and this last time minimising extra chat back into main chat fixed.

I have had couple of times where unequiping tool or weapon etc allowed me to press escape.

Very odd bug

Tested and confirmed…

Changing the “Main Menu” binding key from Esc to F7 (or other) gives you “Main Menu” whenever you like.

Society Chat disappeared

Kind of agree with this, although your already able to track (3x Mission Log + 3x Codex) a total of 6, but It would be nice to allow the maximum of 6 to be from a combination of both (Mission Log + Codex), so if your tracking 5x Mission Logs, only 1 from Codex can be additionally tracked, vice-versa.

As you cater to all suggestions, feedback and wishes, it’s easy to lose the overall design concept. Great work with granting our wishes of customizability and different mechanics, but I think especially the HP/reload dashboard is quite messy right now.

I have listed some feedback on current mechanics below, together with suggestions (see screenshots) of new window organizations that could perhaps clean up the design a little bit as well.

https://www.planetcalypsoforum.com/forum/index.php?media/newdashboard_txt-jpg.342605/full

  • PED balance moved from the dashboard to a separate widget, which you can toggle on/off in options. No need to cram it inside the same dashboard together with HP and reload.

  • Separated HP and reload bars. When the HP bar is right on top of the reload, they interfere with each other so much visually as they move back and forth. They can’t be above and below each other imo, have to be separated left and right.

  • Adjusted width-height ratio of both HP and reload bars. They are hard to follow when they are long and slim. Especially the reload bar does not have to be long at all, the important thing is simply to have something to time your item switches to.

  • Current HP displayed inside HP bar and updates as you take damage. With toggle on/off in Options.

  • Avatar name displayed below HP bar instead of inside HP bar.

  • Added % left of TT for the equipped tool - saw that in a previous post, great suggestion.

  • Made the center of radar a dot again. The big arrow of current UI is too big, it blocks the mobs nearby. You don’t need an arrow, since the direction you face is already clear.

New hotfix is out!

If you’re inside the game, you need to log out and back in to apply it:
[ul]
[li]It is now possible to hide an action bar, but still use any actions and items bound to it![/li][li]Nameplates should now show the Society correctly.[/li][li]The notification UI (location banner) should no longer be stuck. We are aware that it is still not working entirely as intended though.[/li][/ul]

[li]Title: Dying as a Mob[/li][/ul]
Description:
[ul]
[li]Current: Creature Control, when you die as a mob it causing the UI to break [/li][li]Suggested: Make sure the action bars doesn’t disappear and are interactable. Make it so you can interact with everything (such as terminals, and anything you can press interact on). As well as making sure the mission log doesn’t disappear [/li][li]Reason: If you die as a creature, be it by player or by water/time out your UI breaks and you cannot use any of the functions in game, you must relog and turn one of the action bars to ‘hidden’ and turn it back on for it to reappear and then place them back to where you had them. I sometimes use mob pills for events such as mob races and ‘last kill shot wins’ events [/li][/ul]
