Me and Stowen have decided to start redoing quite a few of Corinthia's systems that we feel could be recoded to a far higher standard. I've been typing away for a few days now, and have managed to get quite a lot done considering the time I've had to do everything in. Here's what we've introduced.
- A brand new inventory system. This system shows the icons of the weapons you currently have instead of listing them. Hovering over an icon will show the weapon's name.
- The news system has also been recoded, and now matches the other systems. It uses a backing image instead of a window and neatly lists the news without having 10 bajillion buttons hovering around it. You can easily view all of the news by using your mouse wheel to scroll up and down.
- The mining system has been redone too. The original mining system used to show this ugly text that took up a large area of your screen. Now, the NPC's chat text shows how close you are to finishing mining the rock. After you collect your rock, you can sell them to an NPC at the back of the mines for Gralats. Wearing a miners hat will half the time it takes to mine a rock too!
- The hat viewing system and the hat storage method has been completely redone. Your hats are now stored in clientr flaga rather than an NPC, which doesn't really effect gameplay but it's a cleaner storage method none the less. When you fire the hat viewer, the player's hats are shown above their heads, and you can use the arrow keys to scroll through the hats.
- The hat shop system has been redone too. It used to use an edit of callimuc's say2 system. It now uses backing images and simple text to display only what is needed.
- A simple banking system has been introduced. Players can now store their Gralats in the bank, and can view their bank balance, deposit Gralats and withdraw Gralats as they please from the bank below the OSL building.
- The tailor system has been redone. It now matches all of the other GUI styles, and looks neater. The original used a gui window and some bold text, now it uses a nice backing image and text that fits the theme.
These changes aren't yet available to players though since we plan to introduce all of the new content at the same time. If you would like to help us beta test the new content, PM me or Stowen in-game or even on the forums, and we'll happily add the new content to your character.
