Client UI Brainstorming

Brainstorming for the client’s user interface.

  • quickbar - A generic “quickbar”. (has slots which can contain items/spells/actions/etc)
  • magicmap - Ideas on how to display magicmaps to the player.
  • Keybinding Profiles - Switchable sets of keybindings.
  • New keybinding gui - better gui for keybinding (afaik, most players just use the commands)
  • Beter utilization at both low and high display resolutions
  • Better container handling
  • Better item/inventory interface
  • Compact/expand player stats in gui
  • themes
  • Coloring displayed protections (stat area/ possibly message text) based on status
  • More keyboard control for everything
  • Mood music. Some people used to choose the old dxclient win32 client specifically because it had music.

~For those interested, the old dxclient had many interesting and useful UI features (some of which are mentioned here). You need windows 2000 to run it (lol-VMware), and an old server version to connect to if you want to see anything other than the gui. You can download the old installer at http://web.archive.org/web/20031009043409/http://crossfire.real-time.com/clients/cfdx125.exe
