Merry Christmas everyone!
I've sold my house in Idaho after a 2 year wait, and moved north of Atlanta and bought and closed on, as well as getting mostly moved in to a new house.
Moved 2 huge u-haulem' trucks full of shit 2200 miles.
bought a Harley and spent most of last month riding it around.
Spent most of this month making improvements to my house.
Got all the Christmas decorations up
Got DSL back up and going.......
So now the big question.....
Is this year going to see a stable release?
If I can get all of what I've gotten done in the last 6 months done, being the bum that I am, it seems that a stable release should be a cake walk for the team here.
;O)
And ShadowTiger.....
If Petoe stops aging how can he look forward to that future in the second half of your post you speak of, he'd be dead right?
He just wants a stable release before that day comes.
;O)

I'm not here to put pressure on anyone, my free time from now on will be spent fixing up my house and sitting in the saddle of my Low Rider, but I can't help but think what would have been if a release had come two years ago before my best two quests got abandon to spending eternity in a folder in this computer.
They could have been sweet, had they lived through the delay.
Petoe wrote:Yeah, and more new bugs have born, right? 🙄 Like always, it's a neverending cycle. But thumbs up to the developers that they still haven't abandoned this hopeless project. However, seeing Dark Nation this active gives at least some hope, the guy is just that awesome. 😊
So you ask a reasonable question, get a reasonable answer by someone who's qualified to answer, and then completely ignore his reasonable answer in order to spout the same rhetoric for the 50th time.
Do you have any idea how annoying you sound at times?

True, but it beats getting hit by a bus.

getting off-topic people ^_^
Same one as you I'd hope Rev.
I spose if you walked into the side of a parked bus, it might not be so bad as if you woke up after a party and your friends had shaved off all your hair.
And on a side note, interesting first post that one.
Hehe 😉 that would be some party. So the current GUI in large mode would be the standard one for 2.5? No more small mode? 😞 and i really do hope 2.5 will be the last zelda 1 clone program. It's time to move on already to the classic SNES. So a new bowl would be great. And yea joe, congrats on my 2nd post ^_^.
If I understand correctly, Small Mode will be in the final version what it is now. Still there, but not enabled by default.
Yes it will still be there but it won't be maintained or anything, so you may need to switch to Large Mode to do some things.
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.

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

Then obviously he wasn't agreeing with YOU. :P
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...
you flamed Petoe and me?
How did I ever miss something that earth shattering?
;O)
