New MA Layout

Sorry for the short post. Kind of in a rush. Anyway, here's a sudden thought of mine as to how I'd like the opening page of the MA Menu to look. It provides more options, streamlines the intent of the program, and quells complaints of always receiving the same recommendations.


I don't have photoshop skills, so I just dove in with MS Paint. Enjoy!
P.S.: The three buttons below are selectable, with the yellow ring representing what is currently set.

That's amazing looking. I like it. I assume the "More Options" button would allow me to select, say, only 2- or 3-star arcs, or even those that have no rates?

All the rest of the search options would be there. Also, I forgot to include that the typical "search for words" would be at the top of this.

Only potential thing I could see is a click for 'classic view'.

Sometimes I like just scrolling through the list 'cause I'm weird.
(90% of the time though it's "one random" for me )

Good point. When I edit the above image, I'll add that. Don't know when I'll have time or money, though. That thing pretty much exhausted my budget.

I rather like that layout concept.

The way you present it, it seems you mean for the three circles on the bottom to be a group of radio buttons (only one selected at a time). I'd recommend checkbox behavior instead (any number selected). Because "Neutral" is an alignment for arcs, and someone may not want to see Heroic/Villainous at all, but just wants to see Neutral. Or what if they want Heroic and Neutral, but not Villainous, etc.

That was how I presented it, but your critique is a good one. The next picture will have Hero & Neutral checked off, to show that it's possible to be two at once.

Bi-alignment. That's some hawt holodeck action there.

This gets a /signed from me

My experiences in this thread tell me that this idea is still a good one. Rather than repost it, I shall save the forum resources and simply give an epic bump.

Please review and provide feedback. Thank you.

It was either that or repost the idea, creating dual threads and losing a decent cut of feedback. It's still an idea that hasn't been fully discussed and, as I linked, is still relevant.

it can't have been that good if it stopped getting responses in Oct. and all you had to do was create another post pointing to this one. in fact, that is what the mods and the forum rules tell you to do.

don't be surprised if this gets the lock on it. i hear mod8 still has zombie killing bullets loaded.

no problem. and i wasn't trying to get on your bad side. just letting you know not to be surprised if it does get the lock.

Zombie or not, it's a good idea. It would make it easier to poke around AE and see what's up.

The sad reality of this forum is that the best ideas which need the least polishing drop to the bottom because nobody has anything else to add. The terrible ideas erupt into flamewars and the ideas which need fine tuning get the number crunchers to argue over a 0.027% difference.

I didn't see it before, but I'm glad it was bumped. It's still an idea that deserves consideration, IMO.
Thanks for posting.

That's . . . actually what I thought the search system of AE actually would be like when they first announced MA.

I see no issue on bumping a thread several months old that wasn't a flame fest if the intent is to start talking about the OP again.

Bumping a thread thats been unmentioned for less then a week for no reason other then to go "I feel ronrey" is just stupid and wrong.

I kinda like this easy gui.
