Stormaar	Posted - 2008.01.30 13:32:00 - [1] So another topic about aadons. Tell me pls why API for ingame addons not realized at all? Dont tell here pls about macrominers and other stuff. Addons needed to make interface more suitable and more usefull than default one. Let the community help in do EVE better. Official post pls. ----- Customizable UI / internal API for mods/addons

One good reason is that a highly customisable ui makes it extremely easy for screen scraping macro's ------------------------------------------ Sig removed as it lacks EVE-related content.

ry ry StateCorp	Posted - 2008.01.30 14:18:00 - [8] Edited by: ry ry on 30/01/2008 14:19:29 the existing ui is very easy for screen scraping macros. pixelColor(coordX, xoordY) stuff isn't exactly Minmatar Starship Construction. [IMAGE REMOVED]

And no need to customize GUI. Topic not about macroses. If u didn see any difference behind macroses and addons - so sad. May be this help understand something. ----- Customizable UI / internal API for mods/addons

Just look at last post of ry ry. It's not a problem of addons. In any case CCP can regulate functionality trough API functions. ----- Customizable UI / internal API for mods/addons
Calethiel	Posted - 2008.01.30 14:45:00 - [12] I would say vote "no" on cheating...er I mean UI mods.

ry ry StateCorp	Posted - 2008.01.30 14:47:00 - [14] le sigh. what fresh new CHEATINGLOL are you expecting from people being able to reposition elements of the interface? [IMAGE REMOVED]
Emily Spankratchet Minmatar Pragmatics	Posted - 2008.01.30 14:49:00 - [15] Edited by: Emily Spankratchet on 30/01/2008 14:51:14 My guess is that CCP have a limited number of developers and would rather have them working on other things. A spiffy UI API would be nice but if you look at the concerns of the player base (i.e. count the whines) there are lots of other things people would rather have. Culturally... Can I say culturally without sounding like an arse? Anyway, culturally, it's not something that Eve has been big on. Hence the "this is not WoW" replies to the OP. I think a lot of people would explain this by saying that it's about playing the game, not having to install 35 UI addons so that you're not at a disadvantage. Finally, you'd have to be really careful about any UI development. Easier access to a lot of information could unbalance things. Take the market as an example; if you could sc***market info and present it in a better form you could make an absolute fortune. Edit: Originally by:** ry ry what fresh new CHEATINGLOL are you expecting from people being able to reposition elements of the interface? An API is more than just being able to reposition interface elements. Unless you're talking about a pretty crap API.
ry ry StateCorp	Posted - 2008.01.30 14:52:00 - [16] Mmm, but there are already apps & websites that take market dumps and do all that for you. [IMAGE REMOVED]

Unless you're talking about a pretty crap API. customisable UI is all i ever said i wanted. i'm easily pleased. well, that and i thought i was still replying to the "customisable UI makes it eazy to sc*****the screen noobz" guy. ¼_¼ [IMAGE REMOVED]
Steve Hawkings	Posted - 2008.01.30 14:55:00 - [18] This is EVE not WOW, I would like to keep it that way, UI is fine.

Custamisable UI can make life slightly easyer for newcomers. Don't think only about urself. Some people stop to play when the see default interface. ----- Customizable UI / internal API for mods/addons
Steve Hawkings	Posted - 2008.01.30 14:58:00 - [20] Originally by: ry ry le sigh. what fresh new CHEATINGLOL are you expecting from people being able to reposition elements of the interface? Add-ons = Cheating is what he means.
Stormaar	Posted - 2008.01.30 15:02:00 - [21] Originally by: Steve Hawkings This is EVE not WOW, I would like to keep it that way, UI is fine. UI is fine for what? I cant move some things for example, im dont wonna hud i mid-center of screen. I wonna see scrambl/jamm etc not only as aura - show me icon. I wonna move progress indicator. May i continiu? ----- Customizable UI / internal API for mods/addons

ApaKaka Lone Starr Corporation	Posted - 2008.01.30 15:08:00 - [23] Let me give you a real example of why this is not allowed. Lets say you customize your UI to blink/make sounds and go freaky as soon as someone enter local. Voila, you have an advantage over everyone else in reacting to the threat of being popped by pirates before you notice they are there. EVE needs to be carefully balanced and give everyone the same experience, simlpy because it is geared towards so much PVP and the hunter/hunted philosophy. Giving one or the other a significant advantage would break this careful balance.

Yes it is, in fact it's illegal and you should be arrested by the police who can then beat you with our mercy for being a consumer of cheating or something. --

And thing with authorized developers teams from community members... if CCP wonna control process. ----- Customizable UI / internal API for mods/addons
Erayo	Posted - 2008.01.30 15:12:00 - [26] A new UI wouldn't be bad at all. Customising is nice, though I find the current UI comfortable enough (excluding the mini-freezes of the market, but I guess this is not UI). Do you know how long it took me to decide where to put my chat box , really the problem is space, set your resolution to max And about the addons - Ummm, the one thing I really could use in eve is a better calculator otherewise what other things are there (besides cheating)?
Ursula LeGuinn Versus Gloria Omnis	Posted - 2008.01.30 15:24:00 - [27] Originally by: ApaKaka EVE needs to be carefully balanced and give everyone the same experience... You make a good point overall, but since when has EVE been "carefully balanced"? ________________
Jaketh Ivanes Amarr Do Or Die And Live Or Try The Kano Organisation	Posted - 2008.01.30 15:26:00 - [28] Why should we have addons? You can already customize much of the UI. What is the essential need to change icons and colors (that's what WoW UI addon's do). Personally I don't like many of the addon's in wow, as they make it so much easier for those that have them, giving them a great advantage compared to those that don't, often making it a requirement to have. It also removes a lot of the players competence to the computer, making average players just as good as good players (who don't need those addon's to do the job).
Lori Carlyle Vengeance 8 Interceptors	Posted - 2008.01.30 15:30:00 - [29] I'd like them, the UI is "Not that ideal" for me atm, and appears to grow more unstable with every patch. ----
