Anyways i've been goofing around trying to make something cool for AH, maybe, idk.
First image would be the menu where you select between browsing, view your bids or creating an auction
Second image is what would the auction browser be.
Problem is that the GUI is kinda small (pixel wise) compared to other GUIS (usually they are 176 in width but this is more 118)
And also idk where to fit the rarity sorting thing
pseudo sage
In the second image, I would make all the buttons switches like BIN. And place them (including rarity) from right to left in the same order as on the server. The rarity switch would have 1 or 3 letters of the same color as the rarity.

Sorting why not but for Rarity I think there's a bit too many options for a switch
also for second image which is better?
4 row of 6
or 3 rows of 8 ?

Then make a colored circle like in Hypixel Plus RP.
I also think it would be convenient to be able to switch both ways (LMB - forward, RMB - backward).

u can already do that in vanilla hypixel
also here's 3 rows of 8 cuz why not
that is 3 rows of 7
my bad
pseudo sage
also here's 3 rows of 8 cuz why not
It's better.
carmine saffron
now ACTUALLY 3 rows of 8
carmine saffron
Then make a colored circle like in Hypixel Plus RP.
not a huge fan of it
I don't have a better idea tho
carmine saffron
yay or nay?
terse thunder
yay or nay?
maybe add some color to that?
like high redish, low greejsh/blueish, soon is like yellow or something and rand is pink

terse thunder
yep, something like this
carmine saffron
@terse thunder got any ideas for rarity?
terse thunder
maybe some sort of wheel?
terse thunder
kinda like this, tho it may be not best idea - it really depends on how rest of the thing looks like
I'm less of a creative advisor and more of a functional side one
Like coloring sort buttons so player can faster realize which one is selected + coloring it dramatically increases odds of "oh shit I'm on wrong one" realization rather than text one
terse thunder
I assume rarity slider goes to center part of bottom thingy?
carmine saffron
probably yea
terse thunder
there is enough space for more simple solutions like some sort of slider
carmine saffron
might feel very big since there's 10 rarities in the game rn
terse thunder
if rarity changing is limited as it is in game (either 1 up or 1 down) then maybe wheel selector could be considered
carmine saffron
yea it will be like in game (1 up 1 down) all buttons are like that
terse thunder
maybe wheel should show only few of its elements as trying to shove all 10 on it will be quite bruh
let me make a draft
carmine saffron
i think i see what you mean
terse thunder
maybe swap up and down rarity but its up to you
and some sort of reminder what rarities there are should be presented
otherwise all those wheel shenanigans would be pointless
terse thunder
like I wanted to show those metro light indicators in trains that show which station you are on and what stations there are in general on this line (which does same thing as we want to do with rarity), but they are already replacing those with new trains that has led screens instead and no one cares to do photos of indicators or screens for obvious reasons and only photo I managed to find... looks like this
bruh
like only thing I want to show isn't visible at all
carmine saffron
like they would be shown in a line but only the next and previous one would be visible?
terse thunder
more of a wheel + line
line shows all + highlights which one you pick. It doesn't need to be very big - just so you can see all of them, while wheel shows only 3 (to save you from making super small sections for 10 of rarities)
carmine saffron
o ok
carmine saffron
I think I will just go with a button that shows what's selected and when you hover it shows the possible things. I just can't get the circle thing to work
carmine saffron
is rarity being big text wack?
Big text:
pros: can just use text renderer, maybe can do some matrix scaling to make it fit
cons: looks kinda out of place
Small text:
pros: should go well with other buttons
cons: probably will have to do a different texture for each
terse thunder
my issue here is that any rarity switcher that don't have reminder on which rarities there are will destroy any noob's desire to ever touch new gui
original GUI solves that simply - popup lore thingy has them all, in order
karmic heron

make it colored btw
also the sort button can be further on the left

want to keep space for the reset filters button.
Is the size of the text fine?
karmic heron

oh ok
carmine saffron
do I show the player's inventory while they are in the browser?
It doesn't really seem that useful
carmine saffron
i don't think it should be there since you can't interact with it
karmic heron
It doesn't really seem *that* useful
it is
sometimes you have to buy multiple of one item so knowing the amount you have is very useful
carmine saffron
ahhh true
carmine saffron
progress or something idk
karmic heron
Seems nice
carmine saffron
of course it's nice, best thing ever made (totally unbiased)
hasty jungle
progress or something idk
where would the buttons for swapping category go
like Weapons, Armor, Consumables, Blocks etc
carmine saffron
where would the buttons for swapping category go
at the top, like creative tabs
hasty jungle
at the top, like creative tabs
alr sick
hasty jungle
at the top, like creative tabs
and the scroll bar on the right, is it going to move based on the page your on? like the left right arrows
carmine saffron
yes

slight animation wowzers
as you can see, currently the anim starts when the game receives an answer from the server. Should I make it start the anim directly after clicking the thing?
terse thunder
as you can see, currently the anim starts when the game receives an answer from ...
no-no-no, anim when it gets answer is actually quite good
getting anim and not getting result of it would be confusing
carmine saffron
yea makes sense
karmic heron
slight animation wowzers
Gonna be honest
Tho animation look nice, i HATE GUI animations as they just loose you time unless they are animation that actually are useful to make you wait while you can't interact
But it looks cool

well you can still interact while the anim is doing it's thing, so I think it's fine. I can make it faster tho
karmic heron
Just add a setting to disable it, or an option to modify it
But it look great
carmine saffron
sure
also for the search thing I think I will make it just go to the sign, no "fancy" typing box like party finder. So that the search overlay that's to be added™️ takes over
dusty meteor

But it look great
we really don't need an option for that if the animation doesn't prevent you from interacting with it
dusty meteor

i think having it start animating immediately is better for user feedback
just have to make sure it reverts properly if server rejects
carmine saffron
well yea it changes position when it receives from server, plus I added a Waiting for server... in the bottom right corner like ye ol Party Finder
dusty meteor
i mean immediately once you click it
carmine saffron
yea sure, the message was more directed to "just have to make sure it reverts properly if server rejects"
carmine saffron
cool, also kinda offtopic from the better auction but wouldn't it be neat if the overlay was actually an overlay? Like you could see the previous screen behind it.
I think it would just be a matter of adding a Screen param to constructor and rendering that behind the overlay, maybe
dusty meteor
I think vanilla just added popup screens or something
carmine saffron
did they?

Why don’t you base it off Minecraft’s accessibility setting to reduce motion or whatever is

is there one for animations?
loud heath
Might be
dusty meteor
btw seaerch overlay is merged, might want to work on top of that
dusty meteor
rebase would be better
dusty meteor
nice search overlay only injected into open edit sign screen or something
carmine saffron
no idea what i'm doing
terse thunder
for inspiration literally look at your browser's refresh page arrow
carmine saffron
what do you think I took inspiration from??
dusty meteor
no idea what i'm doing
see how yacl does it, I believe it uses the unicode reset character
carmine saffron
I did use the unicode char for party finder for refresh but it kinda looked stupid
god dang it i can't find the button's class
HAHA, I FOUND IT
carmine saffron
we got dem categories
loud heath
looks good
carmine saffron
the durability bars from the drills show up in front and I have no idea how to fix 😦
i tried translating the thing to above and beyond but nop, depth test probably disabled on those
loud heath

matrices.translate(0f, 0f, 200f)
1 stop Z layering fix
also enable depth testing maybe?
carmine saffron
already tried translating like 500f as mentioned
carmine saffron
and I look and depth test is disabled waaaayyy deep into drawItemInSlot
loud heath
does the regular ah suffer from this
carmine saffron
don't think so
lemme check
doesn't suffer from it
might be a draw order thing, super is called before me rendering the auctioned items
loud heath
maybe try and see if you could change that
carmine saffron
but super also calls the background... don't want that to get rendered in front of items do we
carmine saffron
the categories?
i could render them individually instead of adding them to addDrawableChild()
loud heath
i could render them individually instead of adding them to addDrawableChild()
or
translate z by -200f
carmine saffron
maybe even just the tooltips
the tooltips are rendered directly in the widget
I don't think this is a matter of performance at that point, just a code readability problem
so I don't really know which option to choose
loud heath
You could try translating the tooltips by 200 before rendering
Then popping and translating everything else after that super call by -200
Maybe that would work?
(Idk if -+200 is enough)
carmine saffron
now items render behind gui lol
fixed
better auction
with that done I think all I want to do now is a better auction view (you know the screen where you buy the item)
also if there are things you guys want to see in the better ah lemme know!!!
like sorting or highlighting items based on prices or whatever
loud heath
gg

idk if you've done this or not but I assume you'll integrate the search overlay
carmine saffron
idk if you've done this or not but I assume you'll integrate the search overlay
No real need to integrate, I just click the sign when the user clicks the search box and the overlay takes over
and i show the current search in the search box
carmine saffron
I think vanilla just added popup screens or something
Just looked and there is in fact one, the problem is that it's specifically made to have text and like 2 buttons for a yes and no. I would spend all my time overriding their stuff. So in my humble imho opinion, might as well make a new class
like it even has a builder!
carmine saffron
progress report!!!!
minimum bid doesn't work if u didn't notice :))
but the button to set it does work
loud heath
looks good
carmine saffron
yay
loud heath
one concern though
carmine saffron
o
loud heath
I don't think that slider bar will work well when there's lots of auctions and you want a specific page
carmine saffron
well you can't go to a specifc page in base ah can you?
loud heath
no like you want to flip to a certain page
loud heath
so the scroll bar on the right is used to flip pages correct?
carmine saffron
yus
click at the bottom to click on the right arrow and click at the top to click on left arrow
loud heath
oh ok
carmine saffron
like the scrollbar area is split in 2 in the middle
loud heath
I would try to make that look more like a "button"
carmine saffron
well it is a button, it's just FaAaaAnnnCyyyyYyy
you think it might be confusing?
how it looks like a scrollbar but technically isn't?
loud heath
ye
carmine saffron
mmm
I thought adding the little arrows that light up when you hover fixed that but I could add an option to have just button arrows
loud heath
I thought adding the little arrows that light up when you hover fixed that but I...
you could give the small arrows a black outline
random vale
looks impressive
terse thunder
okay I gave it a try and got few suggestions:
round fulcrum
wait so
what does this do other than essentially skinning the existing AH buttons/container etc to look different
if thats the goal, well, it looks good
but as far as a "better" ah goes this doesnt really add anything no?
carmine saffron
wait so
what does this do other than essentially skinning the existing AH button...
nothing notable at the moment, it highlights bins under avg price. but if u have any ideas tell them lol
terse thunder
we can always rename it to "fancy auction"
terse thunder
another suggestion - make area for search bigger so it is easier to click on
either bigger text window or just make bigger area
carmine saffron
another suggestion - make area for search bigger so it is easier to click on
i think it's fine tbh
it's the same size as creative inventory search and what not
terse thunder
I think issue in placement and shape of window that makes it... harder to read and click?
terse thunder
here's another design flaw that I wanted to report for a while but forgor
Basically when you set up ah offer you see this. Big CANCEL button next to your mouse cursor and "go back" button that is comically small and is shoved in the corner. You know, button you need if you are planning to do anything with ah, including looking up something else or just setting up more auctions
carmine saffron
get a better aim smh
carmine saffron
the entire ui is tiny
do you mean that it's quite squished together?
or like what would you change
terse thunder
the entire ui is tiny
in Vic's defense - it FEELS tiny, it is not actually tiny
like you don't have many items to show because you don't get any
