Petition for bigger map sizes

by **cena-rules** on Tue Jan 01, 2008 6:21 pm

why not get the bar floating like you can have on bob

Lack wants the whole map to be on screen at one time - thus - 900 odd pixels is the widest we can get for a small map - that's a whole 50% more than currently...

These will be open more option for large maps

,i will get another 50px for WWII EUROPE MAP,to be more readabile.

As mentioned, lets first get a user interface upgrade, and see what we have to work with, and then go from there!

Yes! When will that happen?

It's close to the top of Lack's priority list. A few other things like site bugs and some behind the scenes stuff is still above it, but we're gathering some input and we'll see how it all goes.

Yeah, it seems like a pretty straightforward thing, move the bar above the map. I mean, I know nothing of this HTML shit, but whatever. Do what you gotta do.

Lack'll probably experiment with ways to maximize the space, while still providing adequate functionality.

but will lack give us free donuts and coffee whenever we want??? if he would we could stay up all night to work on maps, and be done and have them quenched in less than a week!!!!!!

PLZ NOTE: Do NOT give bryguy coffee under any circumstances, he is hyper enough from the soda he drinks

what you think of these?Can Lack arange site to look like these?In that way you get more space for big maps.

by **unriggable** on Wed Jan 02, 2008 4:25 pm

Action should be at the top. That way you don't have to scroll all the way down to move armies forward.

This is exactly the sort of thing the site is looking for...

My only problem with this - is that some people have more menus than others (hunters, Mods, Admins etc) so that scheme might not work for them?!

There seems to be enough room there for more menus...I am concerned with one thing though. I rarely visit Live Chat, My Feedback and My Ignore List, so I would not always know when I receive a new PM, it might be weeks before I would realise on that layout.

The forums could look like the old way -> but then you're mixing your UI - which is also bad... a valid point though...
