I'm still lost on the reasoning that the playerlist is now impossible to separate from the game client as it is plenty possible for stefan to script it so the pm/playerlist windows are separate.

If stefan wants to make the game customizeable, he should just make it so graal can generate new windows.

Server.strings(for the stupid server-wide chat... oh ever hear of toals?)+showimgs(if you don't use alpha, they wont lag)=your idea.

You can make the area covered by the showimg/polygon a percent or such based off of the screenwidth/height variables...

Sure, the graphics wouldn't scale, but it might be worse if they did.


Though, making it so graal can generate new windows would be better for this idea, as nastalgic developers like myself could recreate the old playerlist.



Making the level area an adjustable object would be an intresting idea. Like making game windows like pms, options, and the main level objects like the stats bar, but can be told to move, changed in size (maby even customized in other ways), and even be put into a new window.


Hell, its even possible to make it so the new windows have skins not indiginous to the os, either, but thats minorly off the point.


fyi, I am NOT aggreeing with your idea. I do not think this is the only way like the other suporters of this idea seem to think, and I cerntantly don't think it should be shoved down everyone else's thoat. See if you can rescript other people to be conformists to your ideas before you asume they already are.
