Waffleh Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 EDIT 3/15/07: Hey everyone, I don't really have anything to update... oh well have a nice day! ^^ Contents I. Background Info II. Examining III. Reading the Entry IV. Setting Your Profile V. Other Ideas VI. Supporters List VII. FAQ VIII. Siggy/Banner Codes IX. Many Thanks I. Background Information: This idea had been suggested many times before, but back in March when I was fairly new I had decided to actually the plan into full action, since there wasn't really anyone creating pictures and really thoroughly describing what would be implemented into the idea. I had taken a break from RS and Tip.It during the summer for camps and other summer activites that kept me busy, and I returned to see my post mysteriously gone. Now I have brought the idea back, new and better than before. I *am* using the same images, which means old interface, but I will get new interface pics up as soon as possible. Also, there are support and hates lists that you can add your name to if you like the idea or not. Now, read on to explore the magic of examining other players! The following chapters will explain about the examine player option and how to use it. Have fun! II. Examining Why do we need to examine other players? It makes things easier, faster, and more efficient! How, you ask? What if you are trying to sell 10k willows, but want to cut more willows at the same time WHILE doing your homework? Why not just have a place where you can type what you're selling ONCE and players can examine you as they pass by? It's simple and time efficient. I realise that some people have said, "Well, use the forums!" But do you REALLY want to go back and forth between forums and game to eagerly check your forum post every half hour? To examine a player, you simply right click on their person, as if you were going to trade or follow them, and then select the "Examine" option. It's as simple as that! (see sample below) ^ Thanks Da Latios for this great pic! ^^ III. Reading the Entry This is the fun part! Actually reading what the person has to say! It will show up automatically on your screen, just as if you were examining anything else. IV. Setting Your Profile Now, how do you set your own "profile" message? There are two ideas that arose. Idea 1: Click on settings (the wrench) and then click on "Edit Profie." A screen like the one below will pop up and you can set your message. Idea 2 (by Gameboy Guy): Idea 3 (by Stihl): V. Other Ideas Though it is a good idea, Jagex would have to take some extra measures to make sure people do not misuse the "profile". Someone could easily insert profane names, or add seddicitve comments. Due to this, I reccomend adding a "Report Profile" option. This would allow Jagex to examine the players profile, and determine wether it should be removed. Thanks Prankster_King, I love this idea and I will implement it into the images when I get around to making more. ^^ Showing Skills Idea I had originally put this as part of the option, but I took it down because it got alot of negative feedback. There were good reasons on why you shouldn't have your skill levels for view, and one of the most was during PKing it would give your opponent a good advantage against you, even though you have the same advantage, it wouldn't be worth it and would take away the fun of PKing. Thus another idea took into action. Why not be able to turn your skills on and off. If you PK alot, you could select to not show your skills. Thanks to Gameboy Guy for this pic: It is simple, just right click choose to turn it on or off. Showing Various Stats Idea This is another great idea, where you can view the armor, quests, and skills of the other person with tabs. Thanks Jondea0 for this great pic: Examine Player On/Off (Image/Idea by Grasle): There are more details, ideas, and pics coming soon. If you have any questions please feel free to ask (I will add the answers to the post and hopefully create and FAQ!) Also, if you want to donate a pic it would be greatly appreciated! And don't forget to add your name to one of the lists. You can always change your standing by letting me know through new reply or PM. Thanks! Always Open to Suggestions! VI. Supporters: 1.

VII.Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) What's the point of examinging players? There are alot of good things about being able to examine players. They can say things they're selling, say their goals, or plainly say things like "I will not give you anything for free!" to discourage beggars from bothering them. There are also many other ways you can use this to your advantage. More coming to the FAQ soon! VIII. Siggy/Banner Codes [url=http://forum.tip.it/viewtopic.php?t=555013][img=http://usera.imagecave.com/Waffleh/clicktosupport.PNG][/url] IX. Many Thanks D V Devnull (a.k.a.

drapit Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Nice suggestion... I dont like the part where other players can see ur skills though its too complicated. But i love the one where u can type ur profile! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waffleh Posted October 18, 2006 Author Share Posted October 18, 2006 Thanks! I'm still working on that skills part, I was sort of incorperating it so that you could compare your skills to other players' skills without having to go to the main runescape page.

kruimel0 Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 i support too! very nice examination :lol: =D> =D> Give a man a fish, and he'll choke on the bones.

godsfearme Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 I like the idea just make sure to state cleary that you chose the levels you want to show to other people. I will shoot down any one with my bitting wit, and sarcasm!What POSSIBLE reason would someone have to make a fake like that?Does he profit from faking a picture like that? Does it help him at all?Jesus Christ, stop being so suspicious. This is Tip.it for God's sake, not RuneHQ. -_- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warned Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 I like the idea of being able to examinate other players but i don't understand the skill part of it, can you explain how it would show to other players?

Dalcyte Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 I like it, well thought out but i have a few problems. -Well, the selling and buying thing...hate to tell ya, but that's what the forums are for #-o -The main problem: This would require AN EMINSE amount of space to create, a size that would completely decrease what they could do with quests and other new things. I mean, its possible but it'd take down pretty much any other great update. This would be a cool thing overall, but it's attributes are pretty much like a quick way of finding things that would limit everything else.

yeah_you_are Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 i love the idea, maybe when u examine them it brings up a window much like the equipment screen, except with the selected stats and a profile message.

D. V. Devnull Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Hmm that reminds me since I support this: Why not make the skills thing a 2 or 3 column panel, similar to how the game's stats control panel shows 2 or 3 columns? It would make it more easy to control things as a person would not have to scroll so much. :mrgreen: ~Mr. Devnull and normally with a cool mind.(Warning: This user can be VERY confusing to some people...

swordrond Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 I seem to agree with the majority. The skills bit seems a bit too far, but the profile part is sheer genius! Here's hoping that something like this will come along soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aarone4 Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 How about you forget about the skills because if someone is that desperate they can ask you and then why not make some sort of market area where you can post the item you are selling and how much for and it can stay there until it is sold or until you decide your not going to sell it and the money goes straight to your bank. (this idea could be developed so that it works better) I dont have anything against your idea its just that its a bit dodgy because it can still be messed up by alot of chat. I will try to make some pics of my idea. (nothing like your because to be honest I dont know how to do them like that) Finaly I can wield drag weapons.

Kewl_Sabre Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 I think this is a great idea. The marketplaces these days are massive and almost impossible to trade in. As to the person who said it would get messed up by chat; Say you can see the general area where someone is shouting the item you want. You could just turn chat off and examine everyone in the area. Usually trading is hard because you can't tell who of a pile of 3 people or so you want to trade with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
