aWarNoob1 Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Also would be nice if the client would automatically jump to full screen or to just fill the screen like the standard browser does instead of a small box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rampastring Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 It's possible to style the client to look more like that. However, full-screen is a bad idea, and I prefer the current client UI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aWarNoob1 Posted February 10, 2016 Author Share Posted February 10, 2016 Woah, right on rampastring. I'll try and mention this to grant and see what he has to say about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, full-screen is a bad idea, and I prefer the current client UI. btw, i've been meaning to bring this up to you; can we get rid of the time box to the left of player names? It builds useless clutter in the UI. You know the box that appears with brackets and a time stamp everytime someone comments or logs on. [12:18 PM] Hello! [12:18 PM] How are you? [12:18 PM] Just here. One sec, let me check what time it is. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rampastring Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 I won't get rid of it since I personally find it useful. However, I could make it optional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Perhaps an optional theme that could be selected could be worked towards that. Tomson here on the forum would be the best guy to get it started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aWarNoob1 Posted February 10, 2016 Author Share Posted February 10, 2016 The client UI is not really the biggest issue around I know. Don't think i'm trying to hold anyones feet to the fire with some of these suggestions. They'd just be really nice features to possibly consider. Plus I know grant made a topic about this not to long ago. Probably wouldve been best for me to post this there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[AuF]Mindwar Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 That would be awesome! Tournament games and badges! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomsons26 Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Apparently there's something buggy in the PM notification. Only saw you PM'd me after i saw it in my email. Both a just like YR and YR looks UI's are possible from a technical standpoint, tho if we go with just like YR with anims and all that might turn a bit nightmare-ish unless someone codes in Shape(shp) support which i don't see happening. I was the one who made the initial client UI graphics, the idea when i did it is we wanted the client to match with the website design. That said tho i did toy around with a RA2/YR like looks for the UI idea back when there hardly was a client at all. It's just a PS mockup tho. Honestly i don't really want to make anything like this, definitely not alone. Perhaps some day but dunno if in the foreseeable future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aWarNoob1 Posted February 14, 2016 Author Share Posted February 14, 2016 No offense tomsons but the original definitely looks a lot better. Let me get this straight though, you're saying if we can find someone to code in this Shape(shp) support thing then the original YR lobby might be a possibility for CnCNet? Kind of what i'd go for would be the exact original YR lobby look and click sounds and everything but in a windowed version with CnCNet gamerooms and users ofc.

Grant Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Anyone could do it, but its a lot to do for one person. If tomson and I did it one rainy day we could achieve a similar YR theme to your screenshot, bar a few layout differences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, just thinking from a performance and memory usage point of view, rendering giant png sheets for the anims or god forbid gif's would be messy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aWarNoob1 Posted February 14, 2016 Author Share Posted February 14, 2016 Well alright but don't say i didnt say please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rampastring Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 That would be awesome! Tournament games and badges! Those are possible to add into the current UI as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antares Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Keep the client simple and clean. Doesn't add anything worth to the game. Just a lot of work for the people to build it. It would be better to build in a pacman or ''pong'' mini game in the lobby. To reduce the boringness while waiting for players to join. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
