New Recipe Filter?

Unread post by commandermack » Sun Apr 15, 2012 9:41 am

for AFTER BETA



Might I suggest maybe adding a filter for showing Only recipes you have ingredients to make? This would simplify crafting for many people.

I don't know if I like that idea exactly, but maybe grey out the recipes you don't have all the items for. Also, on another note, I found this thread of similar discussion:

viewtopic.php?f=77&t=886 (mainly to bump the idea/suggestion of auto-populating the item box.)

I thought about greying out myself, but if it was just a default people might not understand why without adding to the tutorial. I know, unthinkable. lol. However that could simply be overcome by adding a checkbox option in Options. However, I suggested the Filter because the filter system was already there, but if you wanted to filter just equipment and still see which were craftable at the same time, it would have to be a checkbox option.

So with all that said, Probably make it a checkbox instead of a filter.

How about a list that greys out the recipes you cannot make AND drops them to the bottom of the list...less scrolling.

and still keeps them alphabetical by Craftable/non-craftable? Seems good. :)

Keep the ideas coming. I've just put a link to this forum thread in the task so when I finally get to it, I'll come back here and try to make something useful out of all the suggestions. I don't know that greying out of specific items in a listbox control is actually possible with standard HTML (and that's what Paradox is using) but who knows, it's still worth a try.

Is upgrading to HTML5 a hassle?

Funny, I was just thinking about that today. It's not a hassle if you do it.
