pop up menu and life bar

Postby prehistoric » Mon Oct 06, 2008 3:26 pm

While sneaking around and zapping creatures with my awesome magic, I came across two things that migh need attention in the future;

The pop up menu a the top left will pop open while I'm trying to ge away from mobs and such, it's the most frequent cause of accidental death I have encountered. Also, the life and magic bar could be optionally transparent, allowing me to sneak up on larger monsters safely.

I'm not sure if the hp/mp bars are really an issue (allthough the option to make it transparent wouldn't hurt anyone), the way the pop-up menu behaves atm has been adressed.

Would it help if the HP/MP bars were in the corner, like Xenimus? I'm considering doing this for next update.

I think the option of having the bars in a chosen position would be nice.

1. Top-left (horizontally)

2. Bottom-left (Xen-style/vertically)

3. Centered bottom (current style/horizontally)

4. Character-surrounded (wow-style on either side of the character/curved vertical)

I think they should look a lot better than they currently do... maybe some kind of animated texture for the color, with the bars more "attached" to the screen.
