We all know the current trading system (specifically, hitting "/" to halve the quantity of a pile of blocks) is overcomplicated and tedious.

So I suggest: (at least with gold) that instead of hitting "/" to halve quantities. Perhaps make it so you double-click the gold/pile of blocks and a box (more like a rectangle) will appear in which you type the amount of the gold/block you wish to trade then hit "enter" and the amount of gold/blocks will appear in the trading box.

I'd make it sound harsh, but seriously, UI needs updating all over the place!

I'd say it's time to polish it up and bring in fancy buttons and displays!

I keep thinking multi tabs would be awesome!

Plus updated menu's that support shifting quantities of items

Lastly maybe menu boxes for things that don't have menus yet, liiiiiike towns members, name and pvp settings... Safe menu and all its commands... ETC!

What's UI? Safe menu and all its commands: If you press the F1 button (while playing 8bitMMO) it'll open another tab with a list of all the commands. Town menu: There is the /towninfo command, but that doesn't work very well with active chat so I think a menu box for that would be nice (although it would have to come with an "update" button to switch to the town you're in now), also it would be nice for the PvP part because sometimes I wonder "What's the PvP status for this town?" and unless there's someone to test kill (which is mean if it's a place like the one mentioned in the next set of paranthesis) there's no way to check besides leaving and
re-entering, which is tedious, if you hadn't guessed (especially if it's a feedoor&cit-door place if you know what I mean)

Things you said that I don't understand: Multi Tabs, updated menus that support shifting quantities of items


Yay me: probably my most well thought out post (but also we're kind of off topic)

yeah this has been suggested before but sim9 brushed it off, so he might do it again but its quite needed, but the hitting "/" is a lot easier to program xD and it promotes safes to be used for trades as well, or else safes aren't really needed since we can keep gold in our wallets, thats why we should drop items when we die to ppromote safes and boxes but yeah this wuld be cool

Actually safes would still be quite useful for:
Charity programs The TSCP and your bitmas fund would be nearly impossible without safes
Towns Town safes are much needed for collecting rent and the voluntary donations of citizens.
The list is short, but quality not quantity. Also the mysteryboxes can give safes so players are more likely to spend plat on other items and buy safes from other players with gold

do you even "the new engine".jpeg

The safe needs a log so you know if someone paid their rent or not.

Or (forgive me for derailing the subject of this thread) just create a notepad with a list of your citizens, and write down the date they first became citizen, and date it to when their due to get kicked,,,

I was figuring on using a system like this to create "citizen areas", and use the dates to know when to clear the list, and IF you don't want to go through the hassle of checking your "book" everyday to see if it's some memberships expire date, just base it on time slots instead like they do in ice rinks or swimming. Just say "This period lasts from 1st jan - 1st feb" for example. So EVERYONE has to refresh membership before 1st feb or face kicking! Also notepads flexible enough to pen in if someone pays multiple months upfront.

I have no idea what I am doing. PLUS, seriously. We need new menu designs. I don't really like the grey boxes...
