Title: How Fixboy, Messagebox & Gamechat should look like.
Post by: Kirkor on October 25, 2010, 10:50:17 pm
Ok, so here is my proposition, how fixboy should look like:

Or second image (which I like 100 times more):

As you can see, here you can choose how many items you want to "Fix". You can also segregate items, depending on its kind. Armors, ammo, guns, materials etc in separate rooms (I didnt make all kinds of items.).

Also if you look closely at message box in second pic, you will see little changed thingy. Added trade chat would be something realy cool, if radio would be attached to pipBoy. More trading, more fun, more chat. That would encourage some players to interact etc.
Combat would show only things about combat (hits, misses etc)

In b4 "or you can use radio" for trade and the list is "clear and fine"

First thing that should be done with the fixboy is to remove everything you can't craft.
That makes the list shorter and therefore clearer.
The rest should either be in alphabetic order or listed per type and than alpabetic order or profession order.

+1 to alphabetic order. Removing things you cant craft just sends you more often to wiki which is not up to date...

Yeah but add a button like "Show craftable items" if its checked all items that cant be crafted because of lack in skills are removed.
You might want to check an items requirements out.

About chat, there're already buttons on the right to filter gameplay/combat messages and chat. But.. they're too small and not all know about them ;p
Trade chat... in FOnline it's not neccessary, because you may use simple chat for that, you don't need special chat to say "WTB 10 brahmin hides", when you can simply shout it in NCR and everyone will see that anyway.
Fixboy will have that stuff in future anyway, because it's obvious thing, the only problem that it requires engine work, so you have to wait.
So as for me, I don't see anything new at this suggestion. Except for chat, but as I said there're already buttons if you want to filter combat messages and chat. I think good suggestion is to make them a bit bigger, because they look more like decoration.

Sorting items in fixboy is a good idea. Gamechat is fine as it is.

It's very good but I thinking hard to do for our developers. Nice idea man, FIX BOY 2000 must have it.

Fixboy looks good. Currently this window is hardcoded in the client, as soon as this changes, it's likely that something close to this will be implemented.
