Omni-Trade is even messier than Rome, almost bad as Ent...
"The current GUI leaves much to be desired, however it's built in a very rigid system that doesn't allow for much improvement so we are considering ripping it out completely and rebuilding it, although we've not made any time estimates on when this will happen."
That is the most likely thing to keep me playing after I come take a look at the new engine. Otherwise I'll come look around, say "oooh, pretty", and likely to back to playing games that are more modernized on controls.
In other words: yes please.
now imagine if whole gui would be as themeable as every GTK and QT application.Quote:

Yes, it's pretty brilliant, if it was intended to be a Kafkaesque satire of a real GUIQuote:

I am very happy to see that this engine is coming along so nicely, and I cannot wait until it's in! The only reason why I really am not subbed is because the game plays horrifically on my newer pc, despite my attempts to tweak it. Yeay for Dx9 and maybe if we are lucky 11 support.(tweaks?)
Using the aou slim mod, I think the GUI overall is among the best, if not the best i've tried: rift, wow, aoc, eve....
Isn't it that time of the month yet?

Enjoy
How come? You can customize this GUI more than I've ever seen. It has a ton of options and to me it looks fine.Quote:

New icons could help solve some of that. But at present you need the names of nanos to be displayed to get anything out of it. Various parts being hardcoded also suck, and there are a large number of features modern MMOs have in their GUI that AO does not.
You forget that Ao is not a modern mmo
No excuse to not update the GUI to support such things. No harm in being proactive.Quote:
