I also got a conflict of interest with the new minerals. They look rad as hell, but they're going to be a nightmare to reproduce with RoomVisuals,.. x)
-
@artch are there any plans to allow a visual option of viewing alliances? I know that yall have used LoAN in world reviews and everything before, so although it's community-based and developed, it is in a "semi-official" status. it would be nice to get some of that information shown without client-abuse or tampermonkey scripts. I also think that this would be a good opportunity to add in the tampermonkey that migrates a live room into sim. Are these possibilities at all? I've currently got 2 tampermonkey scripts applied to screeps.com: LoAN and "migrate room to simulator". Both would be great additions to the client without hacks...
Edit: alternatively, is there any intent to make it easier for the community to dev tampermonkey scripts to add in features you arent interested in doing yourselves?
-
@semperrabbit No such plans on the horizon currently.
-
ok, next question. is there any intent to make the new client more mobile friendly? scroll the map with finger swipes, etc?
-
@semperrabbit are your scripts available publicly anywhere? I would really love the migrate room to simulator script!
-
@SystemParadox It's definitely not mine, it was a collab of @Dissi and @Esryok back in the day. but yes, by all means, here it is... https://github.com/Esryok/screeps-browser-ext/raw/master/migrate-screeps-room.user.js
It provides a right-click context menu with a migration option. it takes literally everything in the room, terrain, structures, creeps, and moves them into a custom sim room.
-
@semperrabbit thanks very much! That is so awesome!
-
I have mixed feelings about that, the new style definitely has improvements...
But honestly it looks a bit generic, and very similar to what is valve doing.It feels a bit cold, where the old theme feels hm how should I put it, nostalgic and friendly.
Could I ask for a favor? Try the new design with the old color scheme.Oh and I like the parallax but it shouldn't be in functional panels, the start screen is enough.
(The additional server list is a awesome idea)
-
@semperrabbit Yes this is planned.
-
It certainly looks sharper! One suggestion... On the market screen with all the compounds, a line that says what that compound DOES would be helpful... like "Melee Attack", "Harvest", etc. You'd think I'd have that memorized by now... but I don't, I'm rarely sure if I need a XXXO2 or a XXX2O one. I have to look it up all the time.

@artch said in PTR Changelog 2018-12-06: new design:
They are different because of high configurability, there is no "standard" look of a creep.
Pretty sure most players agree that creeps would look like roombas in real life
