Armour & Gun quickbar location question

Post by dognosh »

It has gone to the bottom left now I see.
Is it possible to move it back to the bottom right ?

Nope, but you have a setting to snap it to the quickbar (Settings > Visualisation > Tool window next to quickbar (the last one)).

Toolbar - bottom right

Post by CorBlimey »

I just upgraded to 1.1. How do I reposition toolbar to bottom right again?

I've been playing for years and years since Steam release and I cannot bear the new location.

Bottom left is visual clutter in my periphery whereas for whatever reason I don't see it so much in bottom right (maybe due to location of my second monitor on the left - I kinda focus in the middle a bit) which is good as its 99% of the time irrelevant.

I don't see an option in Interface menu - did I miss something? Wube kindly adds options for a lot of other graphical clutter things.

Please Please PLEEEEEASE give me a checkbox to move the Armor/Gun quickbar to the right again. Bonus points for explaining the reason for moving it.
Please.

They have in a few places. The new location frees up space on the right for the entity information and gives extra space for the vehicle information that goes along with it now. Meanwhile the left side wasn't used for anything except hand crafting, and there's still plenty of space for that.

There's an option to move it next to the quickbar if the corner aint working out for you, but I doubt we're going to see anything to move it back to the right.

Counterpoint: The right side was already cluttered with stuff, map, entity info, so might as well keep all the stuff there and have a full free screen to the left.

And I saw the option to move it to the quickbar. Didn´t do it for me.

mirror your entire monitor output in your graphics driver setting.

most call it a "horizontal flip".

all of the text will be backwards but your brain will be happy.

Please fix / roll back.

Why this change? And it didn't even warrant a changelog entry?

Before, the UI was at least contained to the right side and bottom screen.
Now, it is kinda all over the place - the minimap and the gun quickbar couldn't be farther away from each other, and it's messing with my eyes.

It did.
Moved the character/vehicle gun window to the left of the quickbar.

You have moved the weapon-Bar (it used to be from the left) to the right. Sorry, but that was the stupidest idea you've ever had.

Let me explain why:
There is already a chat on the left, and a list of the crafting queue is also on the left. Now, when opening the crafting queue, it is moved away from the left side of the screen because of the weapon-Bar.

It has become extremely inconvenient!

Please add weapon-Bar location settings !!! I am critical + really want it to be on the right! The weapon panel should be on the right - because there it does not interfere with anything (no crafting queue, no chat).

I'm not happy with just moving the weapon-bar to the middle! I want it to be clearly where it was before! ON RIGHT ! I WANT WEAPON BAR ON RIGHT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GIWE ME THIS OPTION ! :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:

This is also not an effective way to argue your point. Are there any objective reasons that the hotbar is better placed on the right? Reasons other than "I like it better" or "I am used to it this way"?

That is a list of facts, not an argument.

Moving the outline of the weapon panel to the right shows that it would interfere with the tooltip and the alerts, while it fits between everything on the left. (1080p resolution and 100% GUI scale)
