BTC improvements: the interface

I would like to see the NPC's interact a bit more. Maybe walk around, things like that. What would be really cool is if the bots in quizaboom talked to you like an NPC as well.

I would also suggest updating the BTC rules a bit, to include stuff like exploiting bugs (which people tend to abuse a lot these days.)

I get the impression that newcomers don't seem to read the rules as much when they first click on the BTC tab. Perhaps you should make some sort of feature to make it more noticeable, at least for them.

Also, giving them helpful buttons to important guides on the forum will reduce a lot of stress on the moderators.

I would like to have more music, as others before me have suggested. Perhaps a small library on BTC where you could collect songs from different places, and play them whenever you'd like.

Also, this is probably the wrong place to ask, but are you planning on changing the skin for the site? (It's summer now) =P

E: Oh, and perhaps for panels and signs, like in the park. Maybe when one clicks the button to view the panel, a small box pops out with a close up picture of the sign with the writing on it. It would make BTC more realistic, in my opinion.

What do you mean by that? No one has suggested anything of the sort. Plus, this is the interface, not more locations.

What about arrows so you can click it and move the map in that direction?

Also, it would be nice if we can zoom in/out of the map.
The current situation can't display the entire city, but it would be interesting to zoom in/out.

Oh, and I've been wanting to ask this for a while. Is it possible that when you click on a square that's far away, your character takes a direct path to it?

Because, as it is now. Sometimes the characters take a long, needless detour to a given square.

If I'm right, this shouldn't be too hard to change or anything.

Yeah, that sucks for the beach, when you want to get to the hut, but a little bridge from the grass to the hut would be fantastic!

You guys know this is about the interface?

Yeah, I believe we do, although we can't check atm for obvious reasons.

I want clothes and stuff the the warbears wear.

Like these:

Lucas' snazzy shirt, and toque with grenades on the side of his pants

Steve's cool Jacket with guns on the back

Kla's sweater, glasses and bag thingy

Ryohs Bandana and swords on the back with no shirt.

could you add for the most expensive houses balcony's so maybe you can open a door go on the balcony and watch the view.

you could have a default furnishing for the balcony or not also if you add that could you make it so we can place walls, furniture and floors tiles to it.
That's my house update idea.

if it is not to much, sometimes it is, could you add a hat store and or barber for the next update sorry if it is to much.

this is my last and maybe craziest idea yet if it can be done add a pet store so we can say take a dog or some animal to the park.

my last idea when you go to a public location when you leave you have the option to walk along the side walk for a jog or to see the town or fast travel to the location your going to or the map just an idea.

those are the ideas i just had Very Happy

oh and this is not just about the interface he just said he was up to editing the interface he is coding everything from scratch so our ideas can be as small or extreme as we want everything is on the table. Very Happy
