Im wondering, why not make PE more or less 100% customizable?
I would like to see a type of client where participants can customize everything from the HUD to the possibilities in it..
Some might think that this is an impossible task.
There you can have a "special HUD" all depending on your race or profession.. All player made..
MA could offer a set of "plugins" for the HUD..
Like,
"Map logger for miners"...
This plugin could draw a little dot everywhere you have placed a bomb in the current session...
"Hunter stats"
Check how much decay, ammo spend vs loot on mobs and so on...
General plugins as well:
How many people are on your server now...
What is your ping now...
You get the idea..
Those plugins would be something people with C or C# knowledge, as im sure thats what the client is written in, could integrate into the client..
Prehaps people could even make their own plugins..
Like "Order a pizza plugin" ... Heard of that before
But the "important things" such as the bank facility plugin or the trade interfaces plugin would not be customizable...
Basically... I think MA has to move away from the "set bounderies" of the HUD and let their participants "help" them to design what the individual participant want to be able to do via the plugin.. I know there are a lot of the functions in the HUD I NEVER use.. and I miss a lot of plugins.. such as the ping plugin...
MA should, ofcourse, offer the plugins via their webpage so we can be sure that MA has checked the plugins for mallisous code...
It would then be so that you, as a "developer", could download the diffrent plugins you wanted in your "client".. Then.. program it..or more accuratly script it... and upload it to MA's webpage for verification...
Then.. as a user.. you could browse the diffrent clients and download the one that suits your needs...
This would truely bring your profession more alive.. since a miners HUD and a hunters HUD would be two completely diffrent looks....
Anyway.. just think... wouldent it ROCK??..
(Marco.. come on.. make it.. I'll send you a birthday present then!!!!)
