UI Settings Changes/Additions/Suggestions #187
Description
List of Changes/Additions/Suggestions for the UI Settings
Note: these are ideas and open to discussion, not compulsory but will be implemented if agreed on.
Voice chat settings (related issue for dev #152)
- Allow enabling/disabling
- Allow changing volume
- Allow choosing input device
- Control volume/mute for individual players
- Range option
- Group VC
Player tags
- Option for player tags to either be shown at all times (default) or to enable hiding behind objects or fading at distances.
- Customisable player colour (for nametag and for playermodel)
Server
- Change "running outdated version of KissMP" to something clearer, in case master server is the one which is not updated like now
-
Server Listtags to identify is server is Vanilla or if user needs to download extra mods before attempting to connect. - Add direct connect history (add a drop down menu for most recent IPs; line up/down cycles through them)
- Setting to allow public server lua and mods download (default OFF). Instead of a prompt which is argued to be auto-accepted by players without understanding risks to quickly enter a gaming, placing it within a submenu with a better highlighted warning. At the moment it is rather contradictory disabling features for "public servers" when direct connects are used by players for them anyway. Discussed a bit here Warning for public server downloads; UI and download bugfixes #147
General UI
- Have a different "chat" for logs rather than using the same one as for text chat
- When chat and settings windows are combined, should still be possible to easily collapse them like when they are individually, e.g. (cannot collapse, only resize)
Current UI for reference:
