Idea for redesigning interface

[hentaiboy69]

Seems good, Concerto……wonder if this will be done!

This is another proof of your talent, my friend!

[Rukya]

Hmmm you set the chatbox little big , hope you dont want it as big in room 

[Anonymous]

No it isn't expected to be that large in room but, as I mentioned, it should be resizable

[Lover]

Great idea Concerto!!

[Anonymous]

ok, again with little thought and not much time, I have redesigned the Character Editor screen and introduced hotlink to the Shop and Forum….

I hope you like them

[Rukya]

Great work concerto i like how you made the character editor screen . If the ZZZ button was where you pulled it , this will be really better

Ps: strange , i dont see a square for the hmmm is it panty for men too ?

Pps : sorry HB if you cant read my post , my color of the day is brown 

[hentaiboy69]

Concerto, i really like it, but do you have forget a “Go to forum” button! isn't it one of the update we ask for several months!? Can you try to add it too!? anyway, you have my greetings for this wonderful example!

Rukya, lol….of course i can read your post, you silly girl…..

@hb69 ok so I have added a button for hotlink to forum… of course, it would just be a browser window, as currently….

…and I have shown how the windows would (could) appear on your desktop

oh @rukya… men can't wear underwear in public, unless it is based on the trouser model (or so they tell me)

[hentaiboy69]

Concerto, you have done an excelent job! now, all we need is pray for have it realeased!

[Lover]

If we now have more room for our own description and more space in banner it would be perfect.

AnnieMay has suggested an idea in “Share your creative ideas”

Perhaps we can have a dropdown menu “Prefered languages” below country. We also can remove the skin colour and just have it in editor.
Same with character type and favourites – I don't need to see every possible choice, just the one people have chosen.

Yes and the shop could be included as in my original thought and also made of with an idea here. For example I looked at what Achat was coded in, peeked. If you are curious of the development platform it is Visual Studio. There are webkits available for the devs to use. This makes it  entirely possible for the devs to include a browser or browser-like function inside the program. In short they could create a tab/window that directly links to the shop. Which would display within that tab/window. The redesign could just be applied to the online web store.

As far as repositioning things or making new graphics.
—
.dds – Can be edited in GIMP or other editors. (graphics)
.win – Can be edited in any text editor. (element) aka windows/etc.
—
As far as new things that would need of course coding, or it would just be a meaningless template.

Location of files : AppDataLocalAChatGUI

To be completely honest the devs are using a very old style in development coding. It is better and more flexible to use XML templates. It allows for rapid development from either the devs or any user modifications. This is why many applications are now using XML templates. And if anyone says this is beyond the scope of the program. It is not. XML templating is COMPLETELY possible.

As far as the text files pulled into the program at requested times. Instead of having it all out as it is now. It could be stored all in a .zip file. That the program traverses for the required file, then reads it. Rather than it lay in a bunch of text files in a folder.

Thinking about it. Pretty much a lot of the data Achat has. Could be stored in some way. This would reduce it from being 2 GB about on a machine. While some might say I have enough. Its not so much enough over what is the need to be messy for? Its the same way how coders will try and make their code as neat and as efficient and as small as they can. Its good practice.

@lover…
not sure what you mean about skin color, character type and favorites. They only appear in expanded form in the editor anyway not to another user. I haven't even thought about the “partner search” or “in room” windows. Well, that isn't true, I have thought a lot about them but see my comment to AnnieMay.

@AnnieMay…
Anything over a year old is already out of date. My ideas were based on things that I felt could be achieved easily and quickly using the same fundamental interface. I refrained from suggesting what might be considered by some to be a complete rethink. I am not holding my breath with regard to anyone responsible even looking at what I had proposed, let alone acting on it. That was literally done off the top of my head when I was bored for a few minutes and, to a certain extent, for my own amusement.

The old was not aimed at you , was at the devs (My comment even noted it toward the devs). You didn't do the coding to that. The layout coding is a lot older than a year in that regard using a .win structure. XML templates have been widely used for some time now. As far as a complete rethink. That is why I supplied you with a method to restructuring it the way you like. And potentially sharing it with other users, beyond just a adapted graphic. The given files can be easily modified.

Was showing you how since some of your changes can be done yourself, in edit to the graphic and window templates. And if you come up with a neat design to share it. More drastic changes would need Achat to do it themselves. Though graphic changes with button reassignment etc can be done without them in an edit. I do hope you act on it as it is something that you or I, or anyone else can do. Figured if you knew how to edit the files you would try. Hence why I listed how to.

I may do a window/graphic redesign eventually myself. Though college comes first.

So skin away you .. skin away. For those wondering what I mean by skin. Read all the aforementioned texts, you'll get the idea of skin and re-skin.

To work with .dds in a editor you will need a plug-in for it.
.dds for GIMP : http://registry.gimp.org/node/70
.dds for PS/Corel : https://developer.nvidia.com/nvidia-texture-tools-adobe-photoshop

Lol, I wasn't defending myself and no I am not interested in doing any redesign, only a cut & paste visualization, as apart from college I have a life too
