Tracking window

pdrsn · #1 04-05-2005, 06:05 AM

I would like to have a tracking window made, where it is possible to sort by con, name and distance. Is that possible?

I plan to play with this soon, but I kinda doubt its possible to add any sort options not already in the window.

Currently the window opens sorted by distance, but there's no button to resort by distance. I'm hoping I can figure out a way to access whatever is sorting it to begin with.

The Table header alpha and revers alpha sorts, so that's doable.

There isn't currently a con sort, so I highly doubt that's gonna be possible.

Actually Alpha sort groups the cons together by alpha... All teh blues are together alphabetically and the greens and so forth.

by default, opening the tracking window sorts by distance, hitting "Sort" sorts them by con color and then by name.

Technically speaking, "Name" does a strict alpha-sort. It doesn't sort by con and name so much as it does by character values. You notice a con-sort effect because the color codes are taken into account when sorting even though to the end user they're invisible.

Why do I make the differentiation? Because it's doing a strict sort names with caps will be sorted seperately from those without caps. So in effect the sort ends up looking like:

+ Consider
- + Named
- + Generic

repeated for every con that's in track range (and is enabled via the apropriate "checkbox.")

What i would also like to see is a "start tracking selected mob by pressing return" functionality. Too often the selection bar jumps around and by the time your mouse is over the track button a totally different mob is selected.

An alternativ would be to freeze the list once you selected something, maybe for 3 or 5 seconds only. Should be enough to hit the track button even with shrinked tracking windows on 1600x1200 without changing usability too much.
