Hello,
First of all, my apologies in advance.
Some may experience my suggestion below, to be similar to ones suggested in the past.
I have browsed through threads to find any pending ones, upon which I could support, but those are either closed or denied.
Issue: During PvM (slayer mostly) a majority of players experience their screen to be flooded while the option: displaying ground items is toggled or simply miss out on drops when disabled.
The past: Several suggestions have been made to implement the "highlight" function found in 3rd party clients, such as Runlite/OsBuddy. This would allow the player to customize the font colour of items, filter out certain items or display specific ones.
Rejected: From what I understood, this was redjected due to the fact that it is not a standard function in OSRS. Furthermore, those plugins were designed for OSRS and implementing them on Alora may be more complicated.
Personal opinion: While Alora strives to keep its content as close as possible to OSRS we should not forget that, in the end of the day we already have several functions that are not standardized in OSRS. We're a private server after all.
Suggestion: Rather than implementing a whole plugin, would it be an idea to expand the current ground item option?
- A second option which would state: "Hide ground items except..."
- In this box we could then fill in drops we would like to have displayed in a comma format like: "Tanzanite Fang, Magic Fang, Uncut Onyx, Serpetine Visage"
- The box could have a limit of "x" amount of characters. I believe this would be easier to implement for development / server load. It shouldn't be too much of a problem to replace previous drops with new ones when switching between NPC's you're killing.
Thanks for reading.
Cheers,
Pivo
