Empty Stalls

Postby pilgrim » Fri Apr 10, 2015 11:43 pm

People often complain about all the empty stalls and I can not help but wonder if one of the reasons is the wast of time checking them.
Would it be somewhat easy to change the stall graphic to have a closed sign hang from it or one spawn just in front of it. Maybe the same way that the stall shows different little graphics depending on how many items are in it.
Looking at you Marp I bet you could whip it out in 20 minutes. but if you are still working on the hobby horse animation by all means finish that first.

Making them have a empty graphic would be easy. They could prolly make it look like a crate graphics depending on how stocked the stall is. I'm not sure who is complaing......there were only like 3 or 4 totally empty stalls when I was checking earlier.

If you look closely, you can see that it is already done. New boxes appear around stall depending on the amount of goods within.

Left stall almost empty, right stall almost full.

Very true. The stalls already adopt this graphic system.

Would indeed be sweet to see some noticeable difference indeed. The current graphic system seems a bit vague.

Quite filled stall with no visuals:

Quite empty stall with visuals:

Does not make much sense to me.

Left stall almost empty, right stall almost full.

It is based only on number of items though, so ignoring the left one is a bad idea. It might contain 5 very valuable items, while the right one may have 500 pieces of turkey poo.

good idea
maybe just make it so that when a stall is empty it removes the blue tarp cover.... so it would look like it did back on the old servers when they were for sale.

No blue cover means is Available for purchase as far as i know, so that wouldn't work.

i believe that stalls can only be gotten from auction now.... from what i gather if a person doesn't pay their rent then the devas auction the stall off.
