Written Notes Need a Different Graphic, now more than ever

[Bororm 1156]

So I've made this suggestion before, but it never seems to gain any traction and doesn't get noticed by the devs unfortunately.  Written notes should display a different texture, or graphic altogether, to differentiate themselves and be easily identifiable.  Some basic, nondescript scribbles so at a glance you can tell a piece of paper is written on, or a graphic change of it becoming a folded piece of paper or something.

 

Now that persistence is in, leaving notes is something actually worthwhile and fun and this change would really help imo.

I encourage people to leave notes regardless in the mean time!  It's fun!

Put a rock next to it. Nobody cares about rocks, but when you put a rock next to a note everyone will notice!

Ahh moved to suggestions where no one looks and it's bound to get no attention =P

 

Fair enough though, that's what the sections are for I suppose!

I too wish there was a way to make notes more noticeable. Perhaps pinning them on walls/doors?

I think notes should not open a text editor. Instead you should just be able to draw things on them like using Paint. More flexible and realistic.

Writing text with a mouse is really unco and you'll just end up with a tonne of dick drawings for the most part.

I can also use the text editor for obscene writings. Maybe a hybrid could work:

• left click -> draw at specified place
• right click -> start text at specified place

I think calling an empty sheet of paper  "empty sheet of paper" and a written note "note" would already do the trick.

 

We probably would need two items in that case. (Down know it the engine provides a function that is able to rename an item because of its state.)
