Recognizing people when entering a room

[SekoETC]

Currently it only says how many people you see, but I suggest that if you've named some of them, it would display 1-3 of them by name and the number of other people in the room. If there are more than 3 people that you know by name, it would pick some at random. Also if you enter a room and there are only 1-3 people but you haven't named them, it could still show their default descriptions ("a man in his twenties") to save you the trouble of going to the people page.

Code: Select all

Known / Unknown / Text
0 / 0 / Where you see no people
0 / 1 / Where you see <CANTR_CHARDESC>
0 / 2 / Where you see <CANTR_CHARDESC> and <CANTR_CHARDESC>
0 / 3 / Where you see <CANTR_CHARDESC>, <CANTR_CHARDESC> and <CANTR_CHARDESC>
0 / >3 / Where you see n people
1 / 0 / Where you see NAME
1 / 1 / Where you see NAME and <CANTR_CHARDESC>
1 / 2 / Where you see NAME, <CANTR_CHARDESC> and <CANTR_CHARDESC>
1 / >2 / Where you see NAME and n other people
2 / 0 / Where you see NAME1 and NAME2
2 / 1 / Where you see NAME1, NAME2 and <CANTR_CHARDESC>
2 / >1 / Where you see NAME1, NAME 2 and n other people
3 / 0 / Where you see NAME1, NAME2 and NAME3
3 / 1 / Where you see NAME1, NAME2, NAME3 and <CANTR_CHARDESC>
3 / >1 / Where you see NAME1, NAME2, NAME3 and n other people
>3/ >1 / Where you see RANDOM 1-3 names and REMAINING other people

Basically if there's only one unnamed person and three or less named people, it should display all of them, but if there's more than that then it bunches them up into "other people". If there's four named ones and no unnamed ones, I'm not sure if it should display them all or just 1-2 of them and the rest as "other people" but it should never say "1 other people" since that's grammatically incorrect, and showing the chardesc wouldn't take much more space.

[18:51] Dudel: I agree, that'd be helpful.
[18:51] Dudel: The less people have to menu dive while not cluttering the interface is always a good thing.

Great idea, simple and useful.

Seko is an idea factory. I like this too.

Heh, something to go in the 'Cantr Stats', "Seko's Suggestion Success Rate"!
