Vehicle Sheet, passenger abilities

*Tango* 2ManyRads CI Darkwind Guru Deathrace Mafia Faction Group: Marshals Posts: 2,543 Joined: Mar 21, 2010 Modify the passenger section of the vehicle sheet to show what specialities each character aboard has so you don't have to scroll through every character to make sure you have a scout, first aid, salvager, jury rigger on board.  You could color code it, combat arms could be green, mechanic skills could be blue, first aid could be red and leadership could be black.  I realize this wouldn't help color blind people, but it would help the other 98.7% of us (per NHIS95) Kinda like this: Passengers Name    Location    Hector 'Maverick' Cruz    Driving    [EXIT] Jury Rigger | Salvager Madonna 'Dogface' Talley    Seat #2    [EXIT] [DRIVE] Sniper | Rapid Reload | Field First Aid 'Slick' Stuart Studdard    Seat #3    [EXIT] [DRIVE] Sniper | Combat Psych ......................... marshal vet wv pvp5 pvp4 combat1 pvp3 zom community Posted Jul 25, 2010, 4:04 pm

*Rezeak* The Dark Knights Darkwind Guru Deathrace Mafia Faction Group: Marshals + Storytellers Posts: 2,378 Joined: Aug 8, 2009 FF... I think you've misunderstood Tango's question. In order to have 15 levels in 6 different spec your character would need... 90 specs. I don't think anyone has one of those yet In most cases people have 3 or 4 levels of 3 or 4 specs, Tango ......................... vet wv deathrceL1 marshal pvp2 zom pvp3 Posted Jul 25, 2010, 4:38 pm

Regardless, the system/layout breaks down beyond 2 - 3 specs since it won't be feasible to leave off the level the character has achieved. EDIT: for example...

FireFly Anarcho-Pumpkin Privateers Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Members Posts: 5,468 Joined: Mar 3, 2008 Well yeah, and as I said before, spend enough time with your people, and you'll know their abilities by their names, or more specifically, their nicks. ......................... vet wv zom gateautumn deathrceL1 elmsautumn pvp1 pvp2 sssc raceL1 e2g combatL1 santa1 pvp3 gwextrav ww circuit31,18,0 Posted Jul 25, 2010, 6:18 pm

Marrkos 88 MPH Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Members Posts: 3,711 Joined: Mar 28, 2006 No, Tags are too free-form, and not everybody uses them in that manner, so in only a very few cases would the information displayed be relevant. ......................... vet wv community Posted Jul 25, 2010, 6:19 pm

*Ninesticks* The Wombles Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Marshals + Rule Council Posts: 3,371 Joined: Apr 11, 2008 Yep Tags already do this to some degree, you just have to come up with your own system of abbreviations etc. If anything I would like to see the level of a spec as well when I look at a character in event rather than just seeing Sniper etc. ......................... vet wv marshal pvp4 community pvp20,1,0 Posted Jul 25, 2010, 6:20 pm

*Tango* 2ManyRads CI Darkwind Guru Deathrace Mafia Faction Group: Marshals Posts: 2,543 Joined: Mar 21, 2010 You could always abbreviate if space is an issue. Passengers Name    Location    Hector 'Maverick' Cruz    Driving    [EXIT] JR3 | SLVG4 Madonna 'Dogface' Talley    Seat #2    [EXIT] [DRIVE] SNPR4 | RR7 | FA11 'Slick' Stuart Studdard    Seat #3    [EXIT] [DRIVE] SNPR12 | CP3 Yes, you could use tags, if you're not already using them for something else. Yes, you can expect someone to remember the specializations of 60 characters. Or you could make things easier for someone quickly trying to make sure they brought their JR or FA along on a scout. Even if you don't need it, maybe someone else would appreciate it?  It's probably a moot point, we have just one Sam and he's a busy man. ......................... marshal vet wv pvp5 pvp4 combat1 pvp3 zom community Posted Jul 25, 2010, 7:52 pm Last edited Jul 25, 2010, 7:56 pm by tango

I guess Ill get used to this... but at the moment I find it makes the character section really cluttered. instead of being able to check my characters quickly at a glance, I have to weed through all this extra text... the vehicle page is starting to look like a flight info board. Sometimes less is more. Sorry gents, I just have to be honest about this one.

*Bastille* Raging Scavengers Darkwind Guru Evan Reds Faction Group: Marshals + Contributors Posts: 7,517 Joined: Mar 31, 2009 I'm not sure, but I think its just for characters already in the car, so Im not really sure what its meant to help. Quote: If anything I would like to see the level of a spec as well when I look at a character in event rather than just seeing Sniper etc. I think that would be better... and again, this is just my point of view. Great, quick work as always Sam... I just don't think its a good change, maybe Ill feel different when I get used to it. ......................... marshal vet wv pvp4 zom cont pvp32,12,2 Posted Jul 26, 2010, 3:07 pm

Hope that clears it up, unless they are not showing when in your car. It's all working fine for me. ......................... vet wv combat1 combatL1 paintladder pvp5 sssc deathrceL1 pvp4 zom race1 semiprocombat deathrce1 raceL1 pvp3 pvp2 ww pvp1 paintball santa2 gwped northernsummer4,17,9 Posted Jul 26, 2010, 3:10 pm

Marrkos 88 MPH Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Members Posts: 3,711 Joined: Mar 28, 2006 It's working for me, but I'm not sure if I like it.  As mentioned above, the character area is now very busy. Have to see if it either grows on me, or I start to tune out the extra info. ......................... vet wv community Posted Jul 26, 2010, 3:27 pm
