IDEAS FOR RYZOM


Add content to INFO window

I'm with Naema. When I scrape things, the stuff I scrape off goes somewhere. When I scrape a block of cheese, "somewhere" is my plate. I've also been known to scrape a block of wood and use the shavings as a firestarter. So think of it not so much "removed" as "relocated". ;)

Next time I scrape doo doo off my shoe I'll save it for you. :)

I know it can be entertaining to argue semantics. But I'm gonna bow out. Yes, there are secondary, in this case tertiary uses of many words, as in "scrape up some money" but the context used certainly didn't imply that so we have to default to the primary "most common usage" definition.

I'd prefer to focus on Nudge's ideas. Luckily, we have dictionaries for semantics, most commoin usage being listed 1st under the various definitions and that will be my last word on the topic since i'd ratther advance the OP's idea.  i think anyone reading the topic at this point undertsands the comments are addressing "transfer rather then "remove"

Primary Definition = to **remove** from a surface by usually repeated strokes of an edged instrument

As for the original topic, I used to be disappointed by uninformative Info windows, but now I write them off as the sadly inevitable result of having a teeny, tiny dev team. Sure, I'd love to see them filled in and all, but not if it means having Ulu working nine 27-hour days a week.
If we were talking about the primary *most common usage* definition of "scraping" I agree, it's not worth anyone's T & E.  When I re-read thinking as "transfer" rather than "remove", I was kinda perpexed having even forgotten you could do that ... "Yeah it's a cuttler, it's level 233, what else do ya wanna know ?"But then i stepped away from my personal PoV and thot about the new player and thought ... yes, it is kinda a pain to have to go outta game and open a browser to look at a web site, especially if ya not using a 2nd screen.   But BM IG App provides a bunch of info and Bunny Tools provides that and adds a few more categories.  But many folks are of the opinion that installing an IG app dimishes the puter's available resources (It doesn't, just adds an icon to app bar .. might a bit while actualy open) so they don't want to install IG apps.It would be a lot of work to grab all that data and transfer it into those windows ... and then there's the issue of spoon feeding (fun of dicovery lost).  I would seem that making the box editable might be done in just a few strokes but but obly if the infrastructire is in place to make anything editable besides markers and AI layout.  If not, I have no way to guess how much infrastructure might be required to do that.I have a possible solution in mind, will report on that when i get some feedback from folks more knowledgeable than me.
