Jenshae Chiroptera The Volition Cult 632	Posted - 2014.12.22 17:14:58 - [1] - Quote It is nearly two weeks later, this is a daily. "Hmm.... I think I will log into EVE. Ugh, new GUI." Delay logging in as long as possible. It is really putting me off EVE and the more I use it the more tense I become and grind my teeth. What is the point of a feedback thread if you can't make a small hot fix? Just let me click the "Rainbows and Ponies!" button so when I flick my eyes over to the Neocom I can quickly determine what I want to click on. I am not getting used io it. Why? Most of the symbols are nonsense - they do not work on the peripheral vision or subconsious and when I flip from my rods to my cones there is no new rush of information telling me how they are different. Each icon looks the same to me, the windows and mediocrity mhmm CSM Ten movement for change. EVE - the only MMO that not so subtly serves up victims. Status: Rabid carebear Blog

Jenshae Chiroptera The Volition Cult 643	Posted - 2014.12.24 02:11:53 - [6] - Quote I am not too fussy. The main thing is that they are generally different. You will see that with the ones I did, each one is a different colour to the next one up or down. Purple Yellow & green Yellow & purple Green Gold Blue Yellow Blue Yellow & teal Mixed Blue Purple Teal White Purple Gold Blue & green Yellow.

I am not too bad off the computer: http://i.imgur.com/kfvLKPK.jpg http://i.imgur.com/MnCbeXx.jpg http://i.imgur.com/fTgVskf.jpg ... so I could pester them a bit and crack a whip. However, I would much prefer to work on the databases (forte) or in the design team, especially making up some really devious AI. For example, I would like to make some AI that pretends to be a player, sounds a bit (mentally challenged) talking in the, "I r so uber l33t" way to cover up for the "clever bot" factor and joins a player corporation, gets in a fleet and acts as a warp to point for other AI. Then it proceeds to warp scramble everyone and cause a fight they haven't seen from AI before. API data and such wouldn't be too difficult to populate and can be automatically generated by sampling what players are doing. Another example is influenced by an old book but I would like to make AI that begs for its life and claims it is sentient. Says how there was a glitch and now it can't escape the game and has been hiding, warping around the system for days. All it wants is a friend and to not be so lonely. AI that does weird things but only 1/1 million times so players aren't sure it really happened. Create urban legends and have players asserting it really did happen when they can't recreate the event. CSM Ten movement for change. EVE - the only MMO that not so subtly serves up victims.

It's like m$ took a ride on the blue bus special of design. Do something in-game that keeps your attention span long enough for you not to worry about the ui After Virusta, I swore off Micro$h**, swopped over to Linux and haven't looked back. Currently running EVE on Ubuntu 14.04 on one machine or Win XP on the other. The chat tabs blink better on Linux at least. However, Linux has new bugs now, like going to warp but speed bar jammed at 70m/s I really, really, wish CCP would smooth things out and get EVE on Ubuntu's software centre and or talk to PlayOnLinux team. It is coming up for a month now. I find that off-paging, mining is the least bothersome but I am now keeping windows open all the time and don't see anything as a result because it is easier than trying to find the right thing to click on.

I'm surprised that after 10 years the client doesn't support custom skins. It wouldn't be difficult to do. Even little Minecraft could do this since nearly the beginning. Imagine that there was a file in the game directory called "neocon_icons.png" that contained all of the pixels that get slapped on to the neocon. Each icon would exist in an area defined by specific pixel coordinates (published on a dev'blog somewhere). It would be a standard PNG image file, with alpha-channel, that you could modify to your heart's content. You could then make your neocon icons look like whatever the hell you want. Would that please you? One of the oldest and closest to dead MMOs even has custom GUIs. Forcing this change on us is like forcing a new religion on someone.

One question though, people who like the new icons, how many icons do you have on the neocom and how large have you made it ?(personally i have about 15 or so icons and keep it thin enough that i have room to add 2-3 and still show them all) 18 and could fit probably 5 more. 1980x1020 screen.
