Stats.

SayianOozaru · #1 12-28-2005, 09:54 AM

Well i see that my kills don't add up to my max kills, so i was wondering if you (Stefan) could add to the kills chart, all of the different bombs (proxi's, frag grenade, grenade, gas grenade, pumpkin grenade, green grenade, pipe bombs, taze bombs, etc.) Plz do this

Perhaps the kills chart should be a bit more organized, and aesthetically pleasing while you're at it. Put the chart into a GUI instead of only showing that ugly translucent showpoly. You could use a graphic that mimics the screens on the information kiosks, as if you were looking at it, and interacting with it. It could include buttons (Maybe 'touch screen' style) to navigate around with. Sayian, you're Graphics Staff on Zone, no? That would be a cool project that you could work on.

As for organization: You could organize the weapons by type: Melee, Side-arm, Rifle, Explosives (Fire Support). It would help cut down on the number of things on screen at once. I've noticed that the screen is already pretty fll. It's even missing a weapon or perhaps two already I believe... I may be mistaken on that though.

Organizing the statistics allows you to add more types of statistics as well... Perhaps an accuracy rating?

NPC Code:



Accuracy Rating = 

(Number of shots taken that hit an opponent) / 

(Number of total shots taken - 

(Shots taken on drop ships while fooling around, etc)) *

100.

By adding an accuracy stat you change the way the game is played too... People won't shoot as many bullets towards their opponent as possible hoping to hit them, they will be more cautious.

Another division of stats that could be added are planets... You could let the user choose to view the stats for a specific planet, or of all the planets combined. Or perhaps have a side-bar in the gui that allows you to select which planets' stats are being used which would allow the user to view the stats of 1, 2, 3, (etc) or all of the planets' when calculated together. I doubt the server is set up to take into account the planet that a person is on when they kill someone with a red rifle, or a ER Pulsar, etc.

Right, well I hope that made sense. I went on a bit of a ramble there.

P.S. One more improvement that could be made to the statistic kiosks... Add some setshape2 to that baby! It's dumb that you can't walk behind it. :P

Awsome idea, i would like some stats of things like, who has most death, highest gap between kills/deaths(proberly me

) but alltogether a good idea and good thinking

I like the gui we have now for the weapons thing, but i could always do this. Now i just have to no how big the buttons would need to be

The smallest screen resolution that's commonly used is 800x600. Try setting your resolution to that then open graal. Take note of how big the screen is when in the default window mode (By measurement of pixels). Make the GUI Screen that big, and porportion the buttons accordingly.

SayianOozaru · #7 12-29-2005, 06:49 AM

kk, i use 800x600 anyway :P i should be able to have it done by tomarrow, unless something more urgent is brought up (which i doubt) so you guys check this tomarrow sometime

Post the line art first... maybe with some solid colours bucket fills if you want to start testing a colour scheme. Don't shade it until you're sure the line art is perfect.

SayianOozaru · #9 12-29-2005, 11:36 AM

i thought it was just going to be a normal black screen? >.< (like the current gui)

SayianOozaru · #10 12-29-2005, 10:38 PM

Sry bout the double post.

Here's the GUI (the big one (on top)) will/should be see thru (like the current one). I have added a little box that should display the character with the weapon/item he/she is using (bottom left). Them I added the 2 players. The one standing will be your ration of kills/deaths, the one laying down (supposed to be dead) will be how many kills you got. The players stats should show below the item/weapon/etc like the current GUI for it (how your stats show below the weapon, then u click the weapon to see high scores). Also added the DM planet, so that'll be dm high scores

wasn't sure if i should put iracia on there (and ask if it could show how many times your team won the match) lemme no if i missed something

now i'ma go eat lunch

*Edit

forgot to add the GUI XD lemme upload

Looks very plain... Doesn't look futuristic. It should look like the consoles on those information kiosks...

SayianOozaru · #13 12-30-2005, 12:55 AM

it's the same gui that Zone uses >.< you don't play often do you?>.<

the guy standing up represents the players ration (ex 5 kills : 1 death) and it would also have the high scores like maybe someone is 20:1 (ixi most likely

)

I know it's the Zone Gui... But that's not what the Statistics kiosks look like.

I dont use my p2p because I rarely play zone.

jkool666 · #27 12-31-2005, 06:48 AM

Both you shut up. Who cares what your stats are? No one post about it following this :S...

Great idea Haunter...

Thats the smartest idea yet on how to spend your money!
Oh and after that offensive but nothing-else-to-say remark, please get on topic.

SayianOozaru · #29 12-31-2005, 11:56 AM

i'll try to get in contact with Stefan, but it'd be nice if someone could tell him bout this
