More test server changes
 

A patch to the test server was released 2/13/07 and it contains some more interface changes. One of the most exciting additions is the NEW html window that uses a Mozilla type browser (not the /show_window Inventory.HTML that has been in game since launch). Share your questions / findings in the compare thread here.

As always you can see a full compare of the interface xml to see what all has changed.

UI Notes:

• More items should be interactive with your default mouse click action without having to use the context menu, such as the pillars for the Intercepting Stones quest.
• Bag Windows are now resizable, re-shapeable, and now have options to modify the icon size and padding.
• If you use an Escape ability with a quest reward window showing, the reward will appear again after the zoning screen closes.
• Switching between ProfitUI and Default should no longer cause false version warnings.
• The recipe examine and tooltip text now contains the minimum and maximum number of items created.
• Chat command history will now persist between client sessions.
• You will no longer see "YOUR <spell> heals YOURSELF..." YOURSELF has been replaced by YOU.
• When loading a set of hotkeys, any items that were in the hotbar when the configuration was saved will now load properly.
• You can now change the channel numbers in game using /setchannelnumber <old channel number > <new channel number >
• Equipment slots that are blocked due to adornments are now shown grayed-out in the tooltip and examine window.
• While using the broker, when you click on the 'Advanced Search' button the cursor focus should automatically jump to the 'Advanced Search' window.
• Examine info for items with castable abilities will now show any health or power requirements to use them.
• UI Authors: The embedded browser used for the petition window is available for your custom use. To see the sample window, type /show_window MainHUD.Browser

Test - 2.13.07 (patch)

Actually...
 

...the browser has been around for a bit now (it's already on the live servers and things like ACT recommend its use). It's good to see that it's getting more attention, though -- hopefully that'll help fix some current griefs with the petition system. Looks like a great set of updates coming out way, though!

One of the ways to bring it up, type "/show_window Inventory.HTML"

they are not talking about that gimp of a browser, we're getting a real browser now (Mozilla)! ;)
