Xoza Posted July 12, 2020 Report Posted July 12, 2020 (edited) I'd like to see a lot of redundant and reviewable information moved to a minimap popup notification ('phone alerts') and out of the chat box. This includes anything that you can view using other systems or information that can be viewed by command. These are temporary messages that pop up and show you information, but they can't be reviewed again, so these are best for messages that can be viewed further with other tools, devices or commands, like the phone, MDC or others. The following list are IC messages that are viewable elsewhere and can be viewed initially via Minimap message instead of in chat, helping to clear up the chat box (especially for some people). Here is a script system for rage that could help make this happen https://rage.mp/files/file/34-better-notifications/. I will be writing a lot of the lines based on this. Additional references https://wiki.rage.mp/index.php?title=Player::notify https://wiki.rage.mp/index.php?title=Graphics::notify https://wiki.rage.mp/index.php?title=Fonts_and_Colors https://wiki.rage.mp/index.php?title=Notification_Pictures EXAMPLE I believe there are 3 lines of information, so we'll use this as an example. IMAGE: (the square image box that shows at the top left) TITLE: (that's the big text on top) SUBTITLE: (that's the smaller but all cap right below the title) DETAILS: That's the information right below. Emergency Service Calls (Player can review this information with /calls or in an MDC.) IMG: 'Some kind of Emergency Services Icon' TITLE: DISPATCH 'PD / MD / BOTH 'TYPE'' SUB: Call 'Call #' in 'Location' DETAILS: Details of Call Text Messages (player can review these items in their phone.) IMG: 'Texter Portrait' TITLE: MOBILE DEVICE SUB: Text From 'NUMBER (or name if in contacts)' DETAILS: Full Text Message Phone Call (player should have a call history on their phone, either way right now, this is not something you can review) IMG: 'Caller Portrait' TITLE: MOBILE DEVICE SUB: Call From 'NUMBER (or contact name)' DETAILS: NONE Ctrl+X Selection (helps you see what you've selected) IMG: NONE TITLE: 'PERSON/VEHICLE NAME/ID' SUB: 'PLATE/NONE' DETAILS: What action are you taking? /stats (shows you your own details) IMG: 'Player Portrait' TITLE: 'Your Name' (('player ID ##')) SUB: 'Job' | (('Experience')) DETAILS: Bank: $'####' Debt: $'####' Salary: $'####' Wallet: $'####' Houses: '##'/'##' Vehicles: '##'/'##' /showlicense (shows yourself and others ID. IMG: an ID Icon or 'Player Portrait' TITLE: 'Full Name' SUB: Licenses Driver: 'Status' Trucker: 'Status' Medical: 'Status' Weapons: 'Status' Firearms: 'Stats' | 'Comments' /frisk (a notification would be nice, but this would need to be in chat as well, or a simplified version) IMG: an ID Icon or 'Player Portrait' TITLE: 'Full Name' SUB: Licenses & Items Driver: 'Status' Trucker: 'Status' Medical: 'Status' Weapons: 'Status' Firearms: 'Stats' | 'Comments' Wallet: $'####' Equipped: 'Listed Equipped Items' /vehiclestats (shows information about your vehicles.)

TITLE: 'Item Name' SUB: 'Item Status / Full/Empty', 'Serial Number' or 'Radio Frequency' 'Attached Weapon Modifications' (if a weapon) else NONE /analysewounds /mywounds (shows health information) IMG: Some kind of Body Screen or 'Player Portrait' TITLE: 'Name/ID' is 'Bleeding Out' / 'Deceased' / 'Stabilized' (if deceased, bracket ((Name/ID)) for /ldo opportunities.) SUB: Injury Analysis Body Part - Injury Type - How long Ago Body Part - Injury Type - How long Ago Body Part - Injury Type - How long Ago Body Part - Injury Type - How long Ago Weazel News Ads (This would be in addition and hopes for a Weazel Ap you can review the thread of ads for reference.) IMG: Weazel News TITLE: Weazel News Network SUB: Advertisement CONTENT: 'Advertisement' Taxi App (Only a refinement, moving the acceptance notification to a popup, instead of text box.) IMG: DCC TITLE: Downtown Cab Co. SUB: Request Accepted CONTENT: Your driver is [DISTANCE] and in route to your location. Jailing (Mostly for law enforcement (law gets a TON of info in their chat box...)

HobGoblin Posted July 13, 2020 Report Posted July 13, 2020 +1. I really like this idea. This would improve a lot of things.
Saud Posted July 13, 2020 Report Posted July 13, 2020 Massive +1 Really Like This Idea to make the Game UI look Better.
Harley Posted July 18, 2020 Report Posted July 18, 2020 +1. Lots of GTA features not being used by ECRP, such as this.
Kjaer Posted July 29, 2020 Report Posted July 29, 2020 +1 . need more noticeable notifications for new phone
RishabJaiswal Posted August 27, 2020 Report Posted August 27, 2020 +1 the idea is amazing. Before also the message we use to get in phone use to show in INFO in chat box but now after new phone update it is also gone. Ask them to make APP for weazel news so that we can go through the news all the time. Instead of wasting money on weazel newspaper which is i think total waste.
RishabJaiswal Posted August 28, 2020 Report Posted August 28, 2020 Along with this feature we can add other features in phone too. All new things are added in below suggestion. Go check out, comment, react, vote and share. Thank you!!
Xoza Posted September 17, 2020 Author Report Posted September 17, 2020 Relevant and possibly helpful for implantation / development. https://rage.mp/files/file/34-better-notifications/
raademar Posted September 17, 2020 Report Posted September 17, 2020 A very nice suggestion. Would like to see this!
