what do you want in a UI...

What do people want in UI'S?

cause im taking a brake from playing game..
i thought ill try and make a UI again..

just wanna get a few suggestions on what poeple want etc..

i think all new UI's need maps.. a good Grp window and add ons i.e healers helper

what else...

 

[Funkybunny]

i want modes! this is propably not even doable.. but like winamp.. you have one look in "tinymode" and one in "expanded"mode... so you get more flexibility.... but like.. scrolls-info, "standard-quest-info"... like for hib.. a quest everyone does is lost seeds...


so... could like have a info sheet with the most regular quests and the loc's to where the mob spawns, where you need to go and such.. like the daoc.warcry.com site but just ingame and not so much info. just the plain details...

New UIs are rubbish.
You don't need them, too much unnecessary info.

 

[Kagato]

What I want from a UI is all the vital infomation that you need for RvR to be pressented to you in an easy to read format, clear but in a way that wont obstruct your view from the game world.

Or to break this down a little, nice clear simple text and no stupid graphics like skulls or emblems or swirly lines blah blah blah, just a simple dull and clear boxes with all the infomation you need, preferably compacted into only 2 larger boxes like in the vantage one.

My ideal UI would be a cross between Aloca's and the vantage UI but with totally transparent boxes like in the SI option, giving good infomation with minimum game world obstruction (but yes it sucks in odins sometimes).

if you use alpha channels for the background .tga's you can get a semi-transparent ui with text easily readable even in odins.

i modded the divskin so it has links to all daoc maps and RR lists etc, i dont really need them so fluff is on the "extra" bar that comes with it, I also put the group window the right way up. It suits me because it gives all the info I need clearly but also has the info I may need one day (exping an alt, whatever) there too but hidden away.

I did see on the skin DL site a mod that adds 3 extra button to your quick bar for sprint/face/stick but couldnt work out how to get it to work on a custom window (it comes with /clock)

doesnt matter as long as the background has vf and garnet lezzing each other off

So true imo. NAS NAS! Hablo jalagrande osv

 

[Jaem-]

So far I've not liked many of the custom UI's, but I love the SlivUI one, does all I need and looks ubah for being simple

Picture ;o

That would be sweet I hate 'pretty boxes' blocking my view.

I do do that, but its not perfectly transparent and on some UI's faded the background alpha out also fades out things like the life bar but not the text. Guess im just a perfectionist, its something that bugs me.

 

[CliffyG]

Look at vbrushed and add that functionality to a minimalist UI. Also add SI maps to it. Also i quite like the Vbrushed compass so something like that would be good.

thats not what i meant

if you edit the background .tga's alpha channel you will get a transparent background and solid lifebars etc. Probably wont take more than a few min photoshop.
