With going live its clear what didn't make it into launch.
Here is my wishlist based on a meager 10 years of Planetside experience,
of things that can make everything smoother and more user friendly.
Minimap, Adjustable window, not only a solution to hiding cert points.
- Would like to have the resource pool and gain on the main hud.
- Take it out in its own window maybe, so you can move both radar and certs around..
Press G, should take me to a global map of some kind..
Press any of the hotkeys for platoon,outfit, map, etc from within those windows should open what you ask for.
Chatbox, needs to have a toggle for not fading out and or a adjustable fadeout timer.
- first step could be a toggle in useroptions.ini for chat window not to fade out.
- Pressing enter should take you back to the last transmit text channel you used, not /say or something else random..
- Chatbox needs to show on map, deployment/respawn screen (important for drop coordination among other things)
Auto join squad, should use the outfit and friends toggle in the squad select screen
- outfit and friends toggle needs to be persistent.
- An option to show outfit tags in friends list.
- Friends list should have a editable group tag you could add to people.
- friends toggle in squad select screen should be extended with friend groups
When a tell arrives from a different server it should say so in the message, like [Miller] Ostekake: Hello World !
Platoon and squad leader needs drop down menu to move from squad (pl only)to squad in platoon view and change slotnumber of anyone in squad.
- Squad slots needs a description field that shows up as tooltips for members and maybe as a roletitle with description below squad list for members when slot is selected.
- Platoon and Squad leaders needs ability to see other listed squads.
- In squad list view, platoon leaders needs dropdown menu for invite to his or her platoon.
- Squad list view should have a col for current continent of squad leader and the col should be sortable
- Squad/Platoon screen should have a url set by SL / PL for third party voice url to launch member onto that voice server with nickname from game. ie ts3server://server-name.com/?nickname=<pulled from game>
- SL and PL needs number WPs (1-4) and smoke needs to show on all zoom levels of the map.
- All squad WPs needs to be visible for other squads in the platoon.
- Selecting a outfit,squad or platoon vehicle should activate auto follow/scroll on map.
- Squad and platoon vehicles should have the correct color
- Squad and platoon vehicles should show the squad number of the driver/pilot.
- Mouse over on a squad/platoon/outfit selected vehicle on map should tooltip a list over the passengers and their position in the vehicle.
Spawn screen filter and toggles for: sort order for location groups, squad top/bottom, pure distance, Always closest air pad on top, etc.
- When deployment selection selected, clk customize, screen needs deploy button.
- When deployment selection selected, clk customize, clk loadout, also needs deploy button.
- On both deploy, need quick keys, 1 to 6 for selecting class and also hitting enter should spawn you to selected deployment.
- On equipment terminal screen need quick keys, 1 to 6 for selecting class and hitting number should select and you leave screen.
- Extend quick select for classes with loadout number as the second number pressed, ie pressing 1 then 2 would be infil second loadout, provided 2nd and 3rd loadout have been changed and are not default.
Need /whosl /rewhosl /whopl /rewhopl /resl /repl /rec /c as and alias for /leaders and maybe outfit versions of those.
/outfit invite playername needs to work.
Outfit member list needs 'last logged on' and sort able columns
Character select screen should have more than just gfx settings, sound as a minimum.
What else ? What have i forgot ?
Small simple changes and enhancements thats easy to put in and gives the greatest return ?
