A Thousand Little Papercuts

In this thread we post our tiny annoyances that could easily be fixed or tweaked (at least we can hope so). We post our small qualms and how they can be fixed. Hopefully these suggestion will make it into the game. These are tiny things that all add up. One papercut is bad enough, but enough of them can ruin your day. All suggestions here must not be associated with balancing, that is a separate issue. Add to the list if you can:

User Interface
�Built in HUD colour changer. It�s annoying having to type in the code, why not streamline it by having it built in to the F11 setting box?

�Extra mouse button mapping. Seems like you can only map up to mouse button four. My mouse goes up to 5 and some special snowflakes have ones that go up to 11 (spinal tap anyone?). Possible to add more?

�Maybe personal preference but the dialogue window is clunky and often bugs out. Can we not have the old version which showed your character in third person and created a cut scene effect? I thought it was cinematic and reminded me of Deus Ex (a heavy influence in Neocron). As it stands it�s all very static and not engaging. I know this is being worked on but I personally would not consider changing something that previously worked quite well.

Video/Graphics
�New graphic icon for the cloaking device that isn�t a hack tool icon. Gets confusing. Make it so I can tell from my inventory what is a hack tool and what is a cloak from a glance.
�Add an R to the remote tool icons. Again, this is to distinguish from a personal tool and a remote tool.

Audio
��Neofrag - Hovercab your skills with other runners� WHAT!? The other Neocron announcer voice promotes Neofrag properly, but this one is screwed up. Remove it or fix it.

�Military Base gene replicator area is pure ear rape. You have the game�s Industrial music playing over the stripper club music next to the generep. It is a cacophony of ear bleeding horror. Please fix.

Content/Game World
�More psi vendors, and possibly more vendors in some other areas. Breathe a bit more life into Outzone, Dome of York and some parts of the wasteland. Some traders in the more dangerous parts of the wasteland sell useless low level items. Does not make sense. Have them sell ammo and med kits.

�The NExT HQ has a tiny NExT jeep on a desk. Is it possible to make that into a new furniture item for our apartments?

List your gripes and tiny things - just maybe they might go away.

Usually we'd like to see ideas have their own thread, it means we can effectively tick them off a big list. However I think this may work as a new approach - so long as we stick to very small pieces of work!

If suggestions are made which are beyond the "paper cut" level of impact, we'll point those out. Changes where we don't know the effort involved, we'll not respond to until we know either way. Please don't take that to mean we will actively seek out how easy it is to implemented things in the list though.

Sounds reasonable - just remember to keep these small.

A running joke within the team is that we have "roughly 345873945870387" 10 minute jobs on the to-do list. The number varies wildly as it is always generated from keyboard mashing. There's so many of these that it's impossible to pick a starting point, without thinking that you should be doing something more significant or you stress out that whichever one you pick - someone - will complain it's the wrong priority.

So let's start a bit of a new initiative - the community can list some of the things they think are 10 minute jobs and where possible I will complete a handful of these at a time. As the thread grows I hope folks will begin to realise what is and isn't possible within a short space of time. Everyone gets to see a bit of active progress, the game gets that little bit more polished with every change AND we remove the mental roadblock which has likely existed long before the Neocron Support Team took the reigns.

I take it you mean switching between the presets, rather than building your own colour scheme?

This change was made to improve support of better text sizes when speaking to NPCs which the old system did not allow for. I appreciate it's still pretty rough. Unsure what it'd take to switch back and it's not something we'd do lightly. We do need to finish/improve what is currently in place though.

Not an unreasonable request however art resource is limited at the moment. In the short term we can add text to differentiate as per the below.

As of the next patch Stealth Activators carry the I, II, III badges like implants. The Mr Jones Stealthtools carry SPY and PE notations. Hacktools that didn't already have it now have their TL as per other tools.

Consider it done (literally, just now) for the next patch for implant tools and the remote repair tool.

"Mess with the best in FragZone. Hovercab your skills in virtual flights with other Runners." Yeah. I've no idea either. I've disabled that. Oh and the Yakarma PSI Equipment advert while I was at it. Those will drop out of the rotation in the next patch.

We can take a look. Was this implemented in the changes to Military Base Sec-1 in the last couple of patches?

Traders need a lot of work. There's a lot more work involved in fixing these unfortunately.

We can do you one better but it's a while off implementation (both our and your route require effort in this case).

Thanks Trivaldi very timely and productive.

To elaborate on your points:

•I do not know when the sound changes were implemented on the military base, all I know is it is painful.

•In regards to the HUD I do mean the presets. Possible to have a button you click and it just cycles?

•Any word on the possibility of making extra mouse buttons mapable?

•In regards to announcers any chance of bringing the old DoY announcers like the crahn sect ones back? The content exists somewhere right? Adds some more depth if put in pepper park.

•Finally is it possible to use an existing icon model for cloak devices. Maybe ones that aren’t used as much. How about using the ion pack icon: http://www.techhaven.org/db/showitem/1590.html

Only really used for one quest. Maybe change a single colour. Make it red?

Or this?

Neocron's existing UI is not easily dealt with unfortunately. There's a lot of hard coded elements and we'd need to add code to manage the button which would take a reasonable amount of time/resource.

This falls into "don't know" territory which triggers this:

There's a ton of noise and effects on these audio files to fit into the aesthetic and atmosphere of the Dome. Lots of booming echo and white noise. For that reason they don't really work anywhere else in the game-world I'm afraid. We have neither the source files to remove these effects or the available persons/tech to recreate them currently.

We can theoretically use any existing inventory image. I'd rather avoid junk items though. That seems far more dangerous than the duplication of stealth/hacktools is annoying.

User Interface
•Possible to display character rank on character selection screen?

•Give the option to turn off the permanent pokeball reticle on the screen.

Audio

•Brilliant soundtrack bar the royalty free club music. It doesn’t fit and is overused in some of the faction headquarters. I’ve heard the music used in an online video to sell sex toys once. Honest. There’s like two songs that play constantly at most faction HQ and it drives you nuts. Maybe have it play at a few bars and clubs?

Content/Game World

•The normal sized rats that roam the streets of Neocron don’t roam. They are stationary and hump the ground. Find one the little critters and observe it stuck to the spot thrusting into the ground. What gives? Bug? Or were they tweaked due to a map limitation?

•The rewards for the twilight guardian epic are pathetic. I’m not saying change the quest just give us more than some cash and some useless grenades. Every other faction gets imps and vehicles. Give a trophy maybe. Either use the literal model there is of a trophy or a Drom trophy. Just give something more.

•Tanks are missing 2 skill points. Could really help newbies when 2 points is nothing to scoff at.

a few little paper cut

-The chatbox and the run toggle. I always found it annoying that the run toggle is link with capslock. I always forgot to press enter and turn it off so i dont write like i'm screaming.

-Chem vendor. Have the chem sort alphabeticly maybe? Jsut to make it easier to find the one we need.

-maybe add a way to repeat tradeskill so you can do stack instead of having to always put back whatever in the processor. Example, if i'm building a load of wp1, having to drag a bp in the processor, click the little "number selection window" (with the processor windows moving around this one sometime get under and), start the process, rinse and repeat is annoying. Being able to put a stack of bp in the processor, and it stay there, you press the start button and it just go and build them all.

i wasn't lying when i said i was posting this stuff years ago. maybe someone sees something in there worth including.

http://forum.neocron-game.com/showth...nterface-fixes

what would be REALLY helpful for devs as well as players that like to help would be a list of all points the dev team has

1. seen (acknowledged),
2. rejected (very brief reason),
3. accepted (waiting)
4. accepted (progressing)
5. accepted (implemented)
6. accepted (rolled out or planned for patch #XXX)

this would be perfect in some huge html with links to bugs/brainport posts and also make sub forums with names that reflect the respective items' status. not only would that help to remove clutter from the brain port (and for real, who's going to look at stuff from 5 years ago with tons of pages between).

i feel something like that is required to make the communication between devs and players meaningful and it would also help the dev team imho. i know that this is a shit ton of work. having an open bug tracker (mantis?) would do lot of this stuff for us but i suppose there's at least some internal bug tracker already... otherwise i have no idea what you are doing. :D so how about opening it up to us? sorting the threads into sub forums would be still required imho.

Few things that can be 10 min if prepared earlier (missing or misleading descriptions)
- Weapon mods have no description on what items they can be installed. Rifle-barrel is obvious, but melee are not. Its easy when you buy them from vendors, not when you found them in container.
- PPU spells that have no description what they actually do. Like deflector gives protection against piercing and force, absorber against energy and so on. Soulcluster. Difference between sanctums and normal target spells.
- A little descriptions for APU spells what difference is between lance, bolt, ball-blast, barrel and halo is.
- Skills descriptions when you press help button in rpos are cut off. Complete them or move to citycom.
- Welcome mails sent to new characters need update with clear message that NC is sandbox with no campaigns.
This can be done or not, depending on how it is coded, I fear that its hardcoded.
- Change the scope mechanic from fire button held to something less triggering random shoots.
- When you hack the GR to travel to other GR, your starting point is always the same no matter where was GR you hacked, making travel unnecessarily longer. It would be nice if I hack in MB, I start in MB.
- Blessed fireball and hoverbike smoke trail causes FPS lag, either tone down smoke particles amount or delete them
- No matter how difficult lock is, buying TL30 hacktool is enough to break all locks. TL of tool should make hacking easier.
- Speaking on hacking, there is no way to interrupt hacking after you started it, so you are completely defenceless during hack, that takes more than 20s. Also hack should automatically end when AI "ball" is unable to win (so you deciphered more letters than amount of routes to them from opposite side).
- Most of reload animations play longer than actual reload time, mostly visible in raygun rifle/cannon. Speed it up.
- Allow to further increase fog distance
Some minor things
- Mini rocket pistol ammo is sold by rifle ammo vendors
- Cryton's item parts vendor in P2 is named as chemical vendor
- Parashock spells require APU skill after change, but they are sold by PPU spells vendors
- PSI casting sounds and some other sounds, especially parashock family and plasma family sounds are too loud. It would be rather difficult to replace, so just tone down their volume if possible.
- Salvage, recycle and furniture tools have exactly the same icons. Add some letters to their TL little number, like "R30" or "Rec-30"
- Supply caches have trash items in them, sometimes worse than ordinary trash cans. Put some more valuables in there, like random drugs, chems, weapon parts.
Debatable
- Sniper rifles ale listed and require T-C, but they shoot regular ammo and deal physical damage. Either move them entirely to low-tech area or duplicate it with energy damage even with the same model.
- Allow installing pointer, scope, flashlight and silencer without occupying mod slot.

Reducing rate of active item damage on creed/increase damage. The healing light which i'd say is it's rifle counterpart out performs it massively.

Edit: Unless this was done for a reason in the interest of balance?

i don't think we should mention weapon balance stuff in this thread. if anything this needs to be addressed in a separate thread for each weapon. also the balancing of those is still on going. before they finished the base line there's no need for that either.

1) Melee weapons need some love, both in damage output and visual representation. It must be annoying to hear me (the one player who mains as a melee combatant) harp on it over and over again, but it's honestly the biggest problem for me. I can't effectively farm (to level to WoC, I literally found 1 mob and camped it over and over again for hours on end), and the weapons I use look, well, not very good. The katana model is damn near invisible it's so small and flimsy; would love to see the weapons around 2/2.5 times the current size. Give them some substance.

2) Mob Animations don't always show up; there are plenty of instances where the mob will simply stand still and look as if it's ignoring you while your hp drops. Really hard to convince people to play the game when it's lacking animations.

3) Secure Sectors - I get the point of them, I just disagree with the point. Would certainly put a little scare factor in every place that you went if you could still fight or get jumped anywhere. If this isn't a point up for debate, then may I ask for the nightclubs to no longer be secure sectors?

4) Being able to jump zones/gen rep out in the middle of a fight is super lame. I recommend a debuff of some kind that prevents you from leaving the current sector you're in while taking damage; have it last x amount of time (say 10 seconds) and refreshes every time you're hit. That way, you have to avoid taking damage for 10 seconds before you can zone out.

- The "Dude where's my car" minigame isn't fun. My Hovertec is still out in some zone being camped by Y Replicant Commanders. I have no idea where it is. It's been a few days.

- The Inventory weight bug. Sometimes I'll empty out my inventory except my armor I'm wearing and the Free Space # or whatever seems too low. So I relog and its back to normal.

- Twice I've been zooming along the coastline in C-12 and zoned South to get kicked to the login screen and returned to my apartment. See attached screenshot.

you really didn't read the thread. again... this isn't something that's easily fixed. maybe in code but those are design decisions that are as old as nc and also integral to the experience. if you want to talk about their validity make a separate thread for each.

bugs belong to the bug sub forum?

it's really hard not to recommend putting everything in it's own thread when people just ignore the idea behind one like this. use your brain people. i do think you know the difference between a qol quick fix and a bug you lazy bastards.

Further clarity on user interface.

Much of the RPOS (quickbelt, character info, chat, top menu, top menus F1-F11 windows and container windows (GoGuardians, Mobs, Boxes etc)) require deep code changes to implement. For that kind of change we'd need decent availability of primary development resource (i.e. Zoltan). For that reason changes to those UI elements are beyond the scope of the "10 minute fix" nature of this thread. This also applies to the main menu beyond the text displayed on it.

Terminal and activation windows (e.g. apartment key, vehicle key, apartment access, and CityCom windows) do not have such complex requirements for their appearance and layout. Dependant on the change some of those would be applicable for this thread. Just remember that suggestions here should be to improve quality of experience and polish to be considered. An example of this would be the mission select screen being enlarged to show 6 missions instead of 3, to make selecting the right mission less frustrating.

Crosshairs/reticles you can modify to a degree yourself.

I'll return to the thread and respond to more posts in due course. I've certainly not forgotten about this thread.

Known issue. Related to clipping code. This was the cost of significantly improved player positioning. They'll get fixed eventually but it's not a ten minute fix and we risk opening that particular can of worms.

Yes the reward is a bit useless. What takes this out of scope is that we'd need to produce a solution to address those who have already completed the mission. We are aware of this though. This and that grenades really do need making worthwhile at some point...

You can reassign 'Run Lock' to a key of your choice in the main menu.

At the moment we can't dictate the sort order of vendors I'm afraid.

Tactical Grenades

Black Dragon 'Drugpot' Handgrenade

weak fuzz screen for everybody that's hit (large area) (not stackable, and shouldnt last to long) - it's a flash bang

Twilight Guardian 'AntiPSI Accoustic Screamer' Hand Grenade

one time strong PSI and Stamina drain (small area)

City Admin 'NCPD Doorbell'

Blows fusion animation 5-10 times in RAPID succesion - its a flashbang (Please give me that!)

Diamond Real Estate 'Eviction Notice' Hand Grenade

Smoke Grenade Wide area, stays for a long time.

If you cant properly make smoke: Give us a Stacked Poison effect. It should not be possible to have line of sight. Else it's useless.

This would make for some fun tactical options

Papercut#1
One shouldn't be allowed to use a GR to travel to that same GR.

Papercut#2
Activating GRs should be free and automatic when one clicks them. The only people the cost of GRs impacts are noobs. Stop punishing them just because they are a noob and/or you have some delusion about not handing people the game.

Papercut#3
Fusion Cannons animations are so offensive to the eyes everyone ignores them or blacklists those using them. Replacing the animation with one that doesn't make sense would be a a significant improvement.

Papercut#4
Para spell sounds are the things of nightmares and aneurisms. Please oh please oh please god and reza and zeus and regant please please please god make it stop.

Papercut#5
Audio queues when receiving damage aren't firing. Can you put in the Quake 3 hit sound for now if nothing else is working?

I would agree to that, but not only TG is lacking a good item. DRE is lacking a good reward either. The Grenades may not be good but, what do i need a Appartment in OZ which looks crapy AND have a lot storage boxes, when i can buy a unfurnished Appartment that looks good and can have a lot of Storage. It is'nt worth playing DRE in this game anymore. The Fac-DB and the EPIC-Reward is not realy good. An how much Appartments is one Runner buying? The FSM just having Via Appartments isn't good at all.

Some things that might work:
- Move the small and mid Via appartments to the Appartment Vendors in Plaza. And let the big expensive one at the fsm.
- Take better Fruniture away from the Furniture Vendors and place it to the FSM (GoGu, Storages, cause they are needed quite much)
- I dunno if it is Possible, but it's DRE, why not making DRE only Selling Clan Appartments for ALL Factions. And remove them From the FSMs at the other Factions.
I mean some things a DRE-Runner needs is at MB or BD HQ. Why not making something others need like Storage Space, Clan Appartements, DRE only selling it.

I don't know if changing Selling Items of the Vendors is a lot of work.

Jason
