Universal Team List.

[Deleted]

Making more use of the Team Selection List.
At the moment, there seems to be too many screens, doing partial jobs.

If things like health and Mental Points were visible in the Team List: you'd know immediately, who needed healing.
You could then be sent, straight to the inventory screen, and not to the stastistics screen, when you tap a face.

Just a thought.

Sorry, not sure that I see the actual request here. Are you asking that we put the HP / MP on to the team selection screen?

Suggesting that, yes. And when tapping on a team members face, get sent to inventory. Don't really need to be sent to the stastistics screen, because that's primarly to see health anyway. If the health is already on the team screen, go to inventory for med packs etc.



Just to clarify.

Each team info bar, shows their health.

@cig - I've put the ticket #CK-2298 on the list. It's low priority, but its on there.

Or also adding a "go to inventory" and "go to status" buttons (adding two buttons or just one for inventory and keep face → status)

Slide87 - that's simply too many buttons for many of the phone models we support. Cramming and interface full of options until it looks like a kitchen sink isn't always the best way forward It's two taps away ... Face > Inventory!

I liked my idea of having the frame around the team members be coloured to show their mental health and physical health. So you just look at the team screen and instead of the yellow frame you get a green on one side and red on the other, with a way to tell that you are not in perfect health.

Do you remember this old discussion, or does this make sense, or need I get the gimp out to make crappy but illustrative art?

grävling - I do remember the idea, but changing the whole background color of an element isn't something I'd like to see done in the UI.

Why is the frame around the picture of the runner an element?

grävling - maybe I misunderstood.

And right now google isn't letting me mail screenshot attactchments, which means I have to wait for when I have a cable to dl the screenshot to photoedit. I sent a bug report to google.

This was my idea for the team view. Very rough work, just enough to get the concept across.

You can see at a glance that my cyberknight is in perfect, stimmed up mental health, but would like to visit the clinic to jack his HP to 9.
My martial artist should pop one stimpack, to get up to 10 MP, and she too would like to visit the clinic.
My sniper cannot wait. Give that man a medkit, NOW!

It would be especially useful when travelling with 2 runners of the same type. One is in good health, and one is mostly dead, but which is which on your team screen?

Does this make sense?

and I maligned Google. It was ice cold apps (the makers of the screenshot program) whose latest release changed things on my phone. The screenshot method they picked to use occasionally just skips making the screenshot and you get an empty file. Now I think that Gmail should not just silently not send the attatchment, but instead toast me -- attatchment is empty, not sending -- or something, but the fault is not chiefly with them. Changing the capture method back to the one I was using before the update make everything work perfectly again.

grävling - absolutely! That is on our roadmap. I guess we were thinking the exact same thing.
