| Shappeh:
Add a new poll! |
| Derroith:
What's on the poll exactly? I'll explain right now. Client side GUI: This is your typical downloadable GUI that you can use to enhance gameplay. It would feature inventory management and small little features you can use to make gameplay more fun- it's fairly easily to understand, yes? Lets move on ... Default GUI: This is going to be rather confusing to explain so I'll try my best. The day before Shappeh found a neat little way to use Blockland's default minigame menu as an inventory. This sounds crazy, I know, but it's very simple once you catch on. So Blockland has a minigame list sort of thing, when you open minigames from the menu you'll get that list. From that list it lets you join, leave, and create/edit the minigames, but we thought why not put this to use? The minigames would serve as "items", these "items" could be used by clicked "join" or could be used by clicking "leave". You can also open your backpack by hitting "create/edit" which would list the items in your backpack. The "items" would be shown in various ways, by color, by name, by amount and so on. I'll post a mockup later today on what an inventory would look like. |
| Shappeh:
Can we add an option for both? Forcing players to download a "Custom GUI" before they can join the server is cruel, but some players might still want the advantages it brings. Also note that the Custom GUI will work much like the "Default GUI" Derroith explained to avoid giving Custom GUI-users too much of an advantage. |
