add 2 new settings in the settings menu: combat music and viewport frames
Details/background on your proposal
currently in the settings, we’re missing one thing that could re-add a nice WoM feature and one thing that could drastically reduce inventory lag. i have here a mockup:
add a combat music toggle
this would simply add a toggle for the combat music that was in WoM. if you’re in a fight with a normal npc, the low battle theme (regular) would play. if you’re in a fight with a strong npc, the theme that currently plays against strong npcs would play.
this applies unless you’re in a fight with a strong atlantean (which would play brought to insanity as it does rn) or a navy member, where it would play either the low or high magic council battle theme based on the navy member’s level
it would have the following options: disabled (default), all, strong foes only
(this setting would not affect boss music)
ADDITIONALLY this would disable all area music when battle music is playing, as currently they can overlap
add a viewport frame setting
viewport frames are those things where it displays a part inside of a gui, and they cause A LOT of lag. so much so that when i open my backpack i suddenly lose half of my fps. this setting would simply disable those and replace them with text labels. it would not affect pure images like enchant/modifier overlays (which the text would go over) or magics or spell/technique scrolls
example of an unsocketed healing sw chestplate
(it would work the same way for backpack and inventory items, with it layered like text > overlays > background)
it would have the following options: all (default), disabled, backpack only, inventory only
Reason to add/change
the first one is a simple feature suggestion that the code could be reused for from WoM (i dont like having to put on a youtube video for a song whenever i want to fight an npc)
the second one could cause major lag reduction when you’re searching for a particular item in your backpack
not bragging, but I have enough stuff in my inventory that my laptop frame drops stupid (and i have high tier graphics with an 11th gen). both of these are solid suggestions but I do feel like a lack of visualizer will drag your effort rating down nvm im stupid
wym lack of a visualizer
also if you’re talking about the text frames then you can take a look at spell/technique scrolls for an example of what im talking about
made a mockup for a viewport frame thing btw (it would apply the same way with backpack items, the background with the overlay layered on it with the text layered on that)
Hear me out. Each item already has overlays to clarify what they are. Armors already have enchantments and modifiers go overtop of them. Just layer the image label underneath those both, bada-bing, you’ve got every item as a decal. It’s worth the performance issues.
