Title: [Multi] "Browse" menu
Post by: Gimlao on June 30, 2014, 03:26:57 PM
[1.22] Hello, I'd like to report two things which should improve the user experience :

1. The list is always empty, we have to click the "Refresh" button while that function could be automatically executed when entering this menu.

2. I think there should be a scrolling bar, since the only way to go down the list is to use a controller.

Am I right ? What do you think of it ? :3

Wait, you mean to tell me that there ARE multiplayer games?

Oh wow. Yeah. I see what you mean. I thought it was an unfinished feature because nothing came up when the window opened.
Yes. I agree with this suggestion. Having it auto-refresh when the window is opened seems like it would literally take one line of code calling the already working effect of the refresh button.

Java?
Code: [Select]
try{t1.sleep(1000);}catch(InterruptedException IE){} MP.Layout.refresh();

It should auto refresh now when you get in to the menu in version 1.23, does it not work for you?

After looking again, yes, yes it does...

What happened was that I tried it with the new patch after I read this post, and it didn't 'immediately'. So I hit refresh myself BEFORE I could notice it indeed does refresh, it just takes about 3 seconds the first time you enter the screen.

Maybe add the word 'working' or 'loading' so people know it's doing something?

I suggest adding (Added 1.23) to the OP title and locking this thread. (Although only half of the OP suggestion was added...) :]

Thanks for your hard work!

Now, it works in 1.23 ! :3

Then, am I right thinking that the scrollbar will be there in 1.3, with the other UI update to be able to rename and delete saved games ? =p

I just noticed that the Level selection screen is also missing a scrollbar.

This will bug me even more.

I just found this out today: Use your mousewheel while browsing your saves/customlevels/multiplayer.

... oh, ok ... ^^;

Actually, I don't use the mousewheel, it's disabled on my laptop touchpad. x)
