Apparently, we're getting a new gear menu UI. Discuss.

[fluxley 2228]

Its probably just a random screenshot taken from a non vanilla server with the new gear menu stuck on top, if the player was accessing the gear you wouldn't be able to see his gun at all.

The truth is strong with this one!

Considering this image was originally posted by Razor, I doubt it. Razor got no reason to give us fake images, as it will only ruin our trust in him.

There is a vehicle in the background, the SA won't have vehicles when first released.

That is why i presumed this is a mod update.

Its a concept image, it was probably made by the artist that designed the new menu to show to Razor, he has then passed this onto us, maybe Razor just didnt have an image to hand showing it in the latest build.

The fact that the gun in the players hands is different to the one in the gear menu should be enough proof of this.

(judging by the colour of the wood i'd say its an M14)

I still think it would be a stupid decision to give "false hopes" I guess.

How about the lack of a clothing section the gear menu? Nobody else noticed that? The standalone has a working clothing system, so it HAS to have a UI. The pictures here have nothing of the sort. We've already been shown the gear menu for the SA, so of course this is for the mod.

[Feral (DayZ) 622]

Future of the mod looks rosy =)

[fluxley 2228]

How about the fact that it was posted by the lead dev of the mod in the rolling changelog for the mod.

But to be fair i dont think anyone was expecting the mod to get a new ui, i'd say that people thinking it was for the standalone is a pretty good compliment to the guys working on the mod.

[rn_max 202]

I don't have a problem with the ArmA 2 inventory to be honest. Being a revamped ArmA 2 engine, I would imagine the SA has the same underpinnings, with a re-skin and the drag-and-drop from in-world feature added.

[WelshWizard 8]

Looks really polished.

But calibre is spelt incorrectly.

[killzone_kid 51]

Never thought I'd say that, but it looks better than SA.

[gummy52 57]

I wonder if gummy will post something positive

When I first read the topic I thought this was a new GUI for the standalone, and was initially excited, but isn't R4zor49 just the dev for the mod? I suppose it will make the mod better but it's one more thing the mod does better than the standalone, which is something that Rocket should reflect on.

Is this new GUI for the standalone? If so, then you have my positive comment. If not, then what's the point?

Its for the mod, The point is it was necessary to redesign the old arma 2 ui in order to add the 'carrying' section.

[Meeshe 170]

I like the look of it.

[Dancing.Russian.Man 1631]

Haven't you seen the real Standalone inventory yet?

The one that the art-team hasn't touched yet?

[Dagyr 16]

It can be spelled as either.

OFF TOPIC: I've actually read some interesting articles about businesses not hiring English speakers in some regions (S. Korea was one of them, off the top of my head, and this case study examined English teachers and their accents) because they didn't have an American accent (specifically, the "accent-less American dialect of the Midwest).

Oh, I must apologise. I did not at all think to realise what it was for, the mod or the Standalone.

It can be spelled as either, though often "American English" spellings are used in place of British spellings in a multinational environment due to the American dialect being the preferred dialect to be taught abroad (though obviously not in Commonwealth countries etc.) due to it's use as the standardized "trade language" in much of the world (SE Asia and Europe especially).

Further off topic, and I'm sure the admins won't put up with this for much longer but:

From http://grammarist.com/spelling/caliber-calibre/

Caliber and calibre are different spellings of the same word, referring to (1) the internal diameter of a gun, or (2), figuratively, the quality or capacity of a person or thing. Caliber is the preferred spelling in the U.S., and calibre is standard in all other main varieties of English. (That would be India, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand and all the other countries where English is the official language and which don't simply change the spelling of words 'because that's how they sound' and which follow a standard date format)

It is only the Americans that spell it incorrectly. Shock horror.

I have never heard of the 'American' dialect being preferred over correct English spoken with an English accent. The whole 'Trade dialect' stuff you're spouting is complete and utter bullshit. Do you imagine the Chinese, Japanese and even Europeans teaching how to speak like an American? I have lived in Germany for long enough to see how English is taught here, and students are taught to spell in correct English.

looks good, wondering why the AK he's wielding has a scope though

Hello there

Let's stick to chatting about the GUI and not get bogged down in the semantics of language.

It lowers the calibre of the thread.

Personally I like the drag and drop of the DayZ SA inventory better. What makes you like this more? It seems a lot more clunky.

I like this better because it looks better, to be frank. Drag and drop is an essential step in the right direction... but there's no reason that a game framework couldn't make a drag and drop system out of the image in the original post -- or ArmA2's, or any other of the dozens and dozens photoshop works presented to Rocket.

Thank god that's all your noticed :-)

I c ur fort.

I want a fort, too..

[r4z0r49 4761]

ok so most may have seen the fort and are wondering why the ui is showing a different weapon.

Its pretty simple the original image has another concept added and the the ui has been dropped on top.

We wont be providing any info about the fort for now.
