State of Zelda Classic 2.5

About the button icons:
When I designed the mockup for a similar-to-now Large mode, (I ought to get a bit more credit for that) I only doubled the main panel and main bar at the top leaving not a whole lot of room for actual text rather than icons. The icons are indeed my design and I would actually agree that changing the page button icons to text is a good idea.

At the time, (almost?) everyone liked my mockup design. (Though it is quite different now from my original design.) Why didn't you complain about it 2 years ago-- when I made that mockup-- Revfan?

I find the command buttons extremely helpful for taking care of under combos and secret combos quickly. The menu really slows you down.

I love the command buttons.

If I had to suggest improvements, they are (in no particular order):

- Maybe allow each of the three combo panes have its own CSet? Like, so I can put CSet 2 in the first bar, and CSet 3 in the second, etc.

- I dunno about getting rid of the buttons altogether (although, I navigate with PgUp and PgDown), but does anyone actually use the Flags page? Or, the Paths page? I would zap those, and merge the Guy page with the Main page (maybe reformat it a bit to fit: "Room: Take One Item (Shop: 0)")

- A kickass feature would be to allow the user to resize the combo panes vertically, by taking room from the Favourites pane (or, vice versa). I don't use the Favourites at all, and would rather have that space as the combo sets.

- Or, maybe an option to put the mini map where the Favourites pane is, so we can have it double-sized?

I agree with matthew. It would be so awesome to put the 3 combo rows to each cset so we won't use the plus and minus keys. And please take away that favorites part, i don't use it at all and it would be great to have that for something more useful.

[pkmnfrk]

I agree with matthew. *all the stuff that pkmnfrk suggested*

Um? Who's Matthew? My username is pkmnfrk (and, my real name is Mike)

Then obviously he wasn't agreeing with YOU.

Oops sorry got you confused with the new zc developer. But i agree with you mike ;-) that favorites section in my oppinion does not have a purpose since i barely use it. But this thread isn't for suggestions though.

I either:

A. Wasn't around at the time. I've left the community for long periods before, it's highly possible that this was during one of my absences.

B. Was too busy flaming Peteo and Freedom to care.

C. Didn't care because I never thought it would actually become the standard GUI in ZC.

I honestly don't remember when you posted this mock-up. Watch. Someone will find an old post in that topic and it'll show me saying how great it is. I didn't start studying usability until about 6 months ago, so I probably couldn't tell how bad it was just by looking, and didn't start hating it until after I started trying to use it...

[Freedom]

you flamed Petoe and me?
How did I ever miss something that earth shattering?
;O)
