Easier naming?

Postby Gran » Mon Sep 06, 2010 2:08 pm

Before Error messages started popping frequently, I used to open diferent windows for each character in my location and name them all at once, so I could glance at the events, refresh a single time and them read it nicely with all characters set. It avoided the work of naming, refreshing, and scrolling down for the next characters.

Well, that was a simpler time. But it's gone.

Anyway, can the interface be changed so that naming can happen in the events page, without affecting it? Clicking at the unnamed character and then choosing from some dropdown menu "Name" or sorts.

Newspawns everywhere will be grateful.

I would love to have an ability to split (verticaly) interface into two windows - left i always "events", right is whatever you click on (buildings and vehicles, inventory, projects, people etc). That way you don't have to close the events window ever again, just to read notes, or check/edit somebody's char page.

That change would be the milestone of interface improvement.

Yes please on this. Though really it's mainly naming roads that drives me crazy.

And I am guessing it will ease server load.

I would support this idea, too.
