[Test] 2.13.07 (patch) - Interface Changes

***Dolby*** · #1 02-14-2007, 03:00 AM

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 YOURSELF has been replaced by YOU.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

Any one else try the browser window and have it work? I used it with the default interface and it doesn't work for me. I see white flashing boxes in the content area of the browser window. The picture doesn't really show it correctly...

Running Vista Premium x32 with Nvidia 8800.

Lol, my own live update, that is great.

Never saw that warning though.

No, it looks like the browser isn't quite working yet. I get a white flash of noise when I try to load a page. From what I've read, the petition system in the help window is supposed to use this Mozilla browser too. Anyone hear anything good about this Mozilla thing?

Edit: Sorry, the Mozilla thing was a joke! I've been using Firefox since I bought my first PC.

As far as the Mozilla browser goes I have been using it for quite some time now. Its far more secure than IE. It also has some nice features for bookmarking, downloads, etc. Check out the website for more info. If the in game browser is Mozilla based that definately is a plus. Hope it starts working good. As of yet I get the same thing.

I dont use Mozilla, for it seems secure, but less secure than Opera

Opera Web Browser

I use opera. It has many great features, very secure, and supports a lot of things Mozilla does not support. It isn't sluggish either.

Opera FTW!

Never had Mozilla act `slugish` but alas this isn't a browser debate. Not working for me as well.

I want the bookmark in this browser because it is good in the limited amount.

Not bad, so it works now. Immediate issues I see:

- caching needs to be enabled badly, this is a problem
- my character moves while I type - movement keys sometimes seem to perform a double function of moving and entering text. /bugged that.

Otherwise I see lots of possibilities, if only I had the time.

This is posted from in game btw.
