Future Possibilities

Under the "future" tag I will be storing suggestions for improvements to the client. Under the "nowayjose" I will put items that are not going to make it into the client.

Here are some of the pending ideas:
  • Copy email address to buffer (like the copy web address)
  • Have a mana bar right below health bar on your character
  • Toggle viewing guild tags
  • Toggle show ONLY guild tags
  • harvest/attack range ring/visual indicator
  • mute just local chat toggle button. Still see ig,gm,pm,channel chat
  • exp countdown to see how much exp is needed to level more than just one skill (Cassius)
  • coordinates on compass hover (Cassius)
  • visual toggles for autoopen and other features
  • visual indicator for afk/harvesting in case you miss a harv event
  • Windows installer: I used to have one but it was a pain to maintain.
  • Alt-F12 for quick #beam me
  • F4 for quick #storage
  • move toward target if out of range (Kedan)
  • move toward a location if it is blocked (a patch exists for this in berlios right now)
  • sortable knowledge window
  • Window docking to the sides
  • better fonts when they are teenytiny
  • make the autobag open not work if you are mapwalking
  • autoreconnect [on grue,...] (apparently Piper had a feature like this)
No Way Jose:
  • death locator. "that's one of the reasons EF got shacked" - Entropy
  • autopickup: we had it for a while, but a combo of old el and server code made Ent hate me for it.
  • %gotoxy: too easy to macro (which is illegal)
  • quick-manu: the formulas change too often and the info is in the encyclopedia anyway
  • built-in calculator: use /Trader calc 1+1
  • drop counter: too complicated, though I could hook it with the kill counters I suppose...
