TSAdmin's ATM GUI

TSAdmin · #1 10-05-2008, 12:57 PM

So I was transferring money to another player a while back and kept opening my map or the News GUI or whatever else hitting a key would normally do while typing in someones account into the "Transfer Funds" section of the ATM System and it just really pissed me off.

My Solution: Make a new one!

Tell me what you think of this one - And I PLEAD with you to IMAGINE that it has better GUI images because I am still yet to find someone to make a set up for me that don't suck so bad and fail at mimicking an ATM Interface

Functions:

It still possesses all the normal functions of the current ATM (Transfer Funds, Withdraw, Deposit, Check Balance).

Images:

Main GUI:
http://forums.graalonline.com/forums...1&d=1223203215

Deposit & Withdraw:
http://forums.graalonline.com/forums...1&d=1223203248

Withdraw has the same display, just changed the word "Deposit" to "Withdraw" respectively placed.

Transfer Funds:
http://forums.graalonline.com/forums...1&d=1223203264

If the person you are transferring to is on or offline, it will be reflected when you click "Transfer Now" by a red "(Offline)" or green "(Online)" message added to the transfer confirmation. Minor but I was bored when I did it

Error:
http://forums.graalonline.com/forums...1&d=1223203281

This is the message you get if you try to open another ATM Window while one is already being displayed.

Safeguards:

* Of course, I took into account that with the popping up window when you try to Transfer/Withdraw/Deposit that some random noob may try to open another one of the windows at the same time. Obviously you cannot do that. It will return an error to the user.

* It occurred to me that if someone opened any of the above mentioned pop-ups for their actions and they clicked "Exit ATM System", it would close the ATM system, but not the popped-up menu. Clicking the exit button on the main GUI will close any successive windows associated with it.

For the Developers:

I included an attached TXT file that has the script for this in it. I seriously HATE scripting GUI's, so scripting GUI's to display within GUI controls was my main pain in the neck, but I feel accomplished. (Note: This won't be found in the Code Gallery because it's more an Era Opinion thing than a "Hay chek mah skript!" thing)

Everything in the script is commented, because I do that in just about all of my scripts so referencing a section that does something is easily found in longer scripts like this one [590 lines - Formatted so that opening {'s are not on their OWN line - GOD that pisses me off!]

Summary:

This is just for opinion purposes only, I don't intend on releasing this without Frankie or Icarus since I made it for personal annoyance reasons toward the current ATM System.

Name says, Release it.. Its a very nice GUI, And it seems to be a very good system.

xJenn · #3 10-05-2008, 01:18 PM

HEY YOU! KIMMY HAS SOMETHING TO SAY!

I like it. Hope the transfure system doesn't work like the current one ; Like where you press m and the map comes up >_>.

I hope Frankie/Icarus likes it :]
And looks like a real ATM system too![For Australia at least o_o;]

That is all.

Nope, it doesn't do the thing the current one does, thankfully :]

I could do the same

Couldn't all those windows be merged into one? Seems kind of pointless having different windows just for the sake of.. well.. having windows.

Why are you mad at windows ?
Seriously, you'r currently on Windows XP or probably Vista, SO WHY YOU MAD AT WINDOWS =[

Crono · #12 10-05-2008, 02:48 PM

Everyone's shift to these ugly pre-defined windows is really starting to annoy me.

the only thing I don't like is the graphics. it really needs it's own interface instead of the era's gui controls.

CharlieM · #16 10-05-2008, 03:57 PM

Make the gui prettier and it will be kewl...Run it in photoshop it shouldnt be to hard

TSAdmin · #17 10-05-2008, 04:35 PM

Did you guys SERIOUSLY miss the part where I stated that I wasn't happy about using those GUI windows either and specifically stated that I also would like to see graphics made to fit it!?

It's all in the post there..... I even said that I PLEAD that you look past it and IMAGINE it had decent graphical interfaces

Yes, they probably could, but I don't work with GUIs at all, so this is what I came up with.

CharlieM · #18 10-05-2008, 04:36 PM

I know I just didnt clarify to well, It looks like it will be a good idea,

cbk1994 · #19 10-05-2008, 04:44 PM

It's extremely ugly in my opinion.

Why is the window so big? It could be a quarter that size. Also, the buttons don't need to be so spread apart.

What's the deal with an "Exit ATM" button? canClose = true works perfectly.

Rather than text labels, make the buttons instead say "Desposit", "Transfer", etc.

Conflicting statements.

Okay then I'll tell you what, how about you do one with labeled buttons, and I do one without and we'll see which is more visually appeasing as far as ATMs go.

Here's how I'd do it.

Not exactly my favorite interface I've made, but it's a lot better than that huge one in my opinion.

Using Vesporia's profiles, since they're similar to Eras.

xAzerothx · #25 10-05-2008, 05:04 PM

That's sexy.

Understood · #26 10-05-2008, 05:06 PM

I think he intended to have it look like a real atm interface...with the little ">" buttons you press next to the options...The problem is what TSA already said:

I also agree that it could have been made to be about 1/4 that size, but atleast someone is finally trying to replace the current (and crappy) one.

I like this one though, I'd go with something like this instead to be honest.

I think we need an ATM GUI that actually looks like an ATM screen/buttons IRL.

http://www.freewebs.com/ballbustersrus/atm.jpg

Make something like this /\ but a little more zoomed in on the screen/button area.
So you actually have to type in a pin number to access your account ect...

Now that I think about it, I kinda liked this idea too.
Corrupt staff could also get into your account though [from your password/pin]... I'd have to hide them some where... I may actually do this for New Era. Opinions?

CharlieM · #31 10-05-2008, 05:36 PM

Atrius has somethin like that but its not really a good one, but yeah make it like a real atm with the < > buttons and the accept and all that
EDIT: Make the ATM's account locked?

cbk1994 · #32 10-05-2008, 06:27 PM

I don't like the idea of mandatory PIN numbers. However, optional ones would be okay.

Definitely account lock though, so you can't just guess someone's PIN number.

CharlieM · #33 10-05-2008, 06:29 PM

haha that would be funny tho if someone just sat at the atm punching in random numbers all day

People would do dumb things like 1337, 2008, 6666, birthdays, etc.

I imagine some people's PINs would be very easy to guess.

Shotoo2 · #35 10-05-2008, 06:35 PM

you're killing the bocotech ATMs?

As in real life, all new bank accounts should get a 10-12 digits account number (and not restricted to one bank account per player), as well as a RANDOM PIN (you are not allowed to chose your PIN code irl, at least not in banks around here) assigned to it.

So when you open the ATM, you'll get to click on one of your saved bank accounts, then type in the PIN code, and finally after that get to withdraw/deposit etc. money.

I chose my PIN number.
It may just be something with your bank...

You're not allowed to chose PIN code in any of the 4+ banks here in Sweden, and I'm pretty sure it's European standard.

Shotoo2 · #39 10-05-2008, 07:07 PM

American banks allow you to choose your PIN

natchez416 · #40 10-05-2008, 07:08 PM

I was thinking the pin number would be more of a novelty, just to add in some realism.
The accounts should be account locked.
