Title: Please, for the sake of my sanity...
Post by: jitspoe on January 06, 2008, 11:05:38 PM
Pick out 1 or 2 features that you really want for the next build and can't live without.  Make a fleshed out post with the details of what the feature is and how it will work, properly title the subject of your post (Think of Book Titles), and make sure somebody else hasn't already posted it.

It's only been one day and there are already 5 new pages of feature requests, many of which are trivial low-priority things.  Let's focus on the important stuff.

Also being a post sexually promiscuous person. Even more than me. :(

And if you're out-post-whoring me, it's probably an issue.
Title: Webhead's Book of Necessary Items
Post by: webhead on January 07, 2008, 12:06:13 AM
i knew this was bound to happen at some point.
i'm paring down the number of items i'm voting for in the FVS... then i *might* be able to pick out the very few features i really want, like you say.



wow, i was actually able to get my list down to 3 items!
here are the ones i can't live without.

#10021 (http://dplogin.com/dplogin/featurevote/feature.php?id=10021) Don't Require Mouse Over Edit Boxes to Type
-- Focus should be controlled by clicks instead of hovers.

#10032 (http://dplogin.com/dplogin/featurevote/feature.php?id=10032) Prevent Funnames From Altering Text That Follows
-- Maybe have the game insert a character (with behavior similar to %O, which on IRC clients like ChatZilla or XChat unsets any text colors or styles) after text that could potentially contain funname codes.

#10035 (http://dplogin.com/dplogin/featurevote/feature.php?id=10035) Show Characters Left for Funname
-- I include this item because I know that it is a problem that comes up very often, and I'm not the only one who gets tired of trying to explain to people what they're doing wrong. Not sure which way it should be implemented - either visible text showing how many characters are left, or a box that won't accept input beyond a certain number of characters.

He's not talking about the features you vote on, he's talking about the features you start threads for.

well since he said to make a "post" and not a "topic" or "thread", i thought he meant to make a short post like i did - in this thread.

I agree, this is the kind of stuff that should be thought of before posting. I too am guilty of posting, somewhat, trivial things, but i am willing to stop "for the sake of sanity". I hope many of you all will too.
