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

Recommended Posts

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.

the DayZ GUI looks like shit because it's a coder's UI and hasn't even been TOUCHED by an artist.

I have never heard of the 'American' dialect being preferred over correct English spoken with an English accent.

One only need hear PsiSyndicate speaking, determine his dialect, and wisely choose something else.

Whatever it may be.

You seem to really hate the new inventory system for some reason.

Yeah, fair enough ; but it's still what you're going to be playing with when you buy the game. As you said, it looks like shit until then.

THe Standalone inventory, as of now, is definitely not a looker, that's for sure.

In the screen cap on the rolling changelog there is a slot for a gun and a carried item. I have read through the log and it doesn't mention it so it might not be implemented yet but will that mean we will be able to swap between a gun and melee weapon.

Not being able to sling my rifle and pull out my ax is one of the most annoying things about dayz and if razor is graciously giving us this ability I'll love him even if I get infected and can't find antibiotics ;-)

I don't know why no one has pointed it out yet, but this is just a modified ACE mod gear menu. Not sayin its a bad thing! I personally think its going to be great being able to switch to my hatchet to my rifle faster.

Heres what ACE looks like http://img255.images...92017460330.png

On my phone, can't use the editing tools for sexy links :c

Just because it's similiar doesn't mean it's stolen from ACE and edited heavily. it's from ACE, as TheDesigner said I personally don't find it the same as ACE.

Personally, they look nothing alike. They probably took inspiration off of it since its a good UI, but they're definitely more different than similar.

Razor announced a change to the Gear Menu UI in the Rolling Changelog. As you can see there now is a field for backpack, a field for the active main weapon and a field named "carrying". Could this mean we will be able to have one main weapon on our back/shoulder and one active in hand? No more using up storage in the backpack for my sniper rifle, while I have my CCO SD in hand?

Would be awesome.

Edit:

Apparently it was said in a LiveStream that this new field is for melee weapons. So we will be able to hold one sidearm, one rifle and one melee weapon ready.

carrying is for melee weapons, hatchet or machete for instance.

he said this on the 2.5hour live stream.

It will be like ACE...

Which means? Can't remember ACE precisely.
