Rigs-of-rods: DearIMGUI feedback/bug reporting

[tritonas00]

I can fix some of these here https://github.com/RigsOfRods/rigs-of-rods/pull/2488

Hide warnings/errors by default

They already hidden in chat. Do you mean in console also?

Maybe make it slightly transparent like the old one? Looks cleaner IMO

I think we should add a little transparency on all windows, looks good imo

@tritonas00 Not all errors are hidden:

I've updated the above post.

Some errors aren't hidden:

fixed (hopefully) in https://github.com/RigsOfRods/rigs-of-rods/pull/2488/commits/f9dca7e724e41cb373ae5c5375189c5b4e2b177a

Pressing Y should display the full chat history (with scrolling). If someone says something to you while AFK, you won't see it.

You can see them in console

Joining a server doesn't hide the main menu, this is especially noticeable when joining an 'any' server, as the buttons are still active:

Search bar should be active/focused by default

I know, but the average player doesn't know about the console, let alone access it to view chat. That's not user friendly at all. The 0.38-era chatbox displays the full chat history.

Post updated.

@CuriousMike56 how does those look?

Is it too much?

[CuriousMike56]

The server list and settings are a bit too much, others look great 👍

0.85 seems ok for all windows, done https://github.com/RigsOfRods/rigs-of-rods/pull/2488/commits/0884e4ef9224a07d338ff74a064dcb2bf06cffa0

Thanks for all the engagement guys 👍 Misc notes:

• I'll fix the mousewheel-scrolling after OGRE upgrade - OGRE 1.12.3+ has built-in imgui, so input handling will change anyway.

• I'll add a CVar 'gfx_colored_names' to enable or disable (just remove the tags) colored mod names in selector.

• I'll look at #2488 on weekend

Angelscript log should be hidden:

Apparently we need it for the races

When spawning a new vehicle, the game should display in your chat if others have the same mod installed. The arrows next to names in the player list show this, but most players don't know what they mean.

What about this? It explains the situation fine imo

Console doesn't scroll to bottom

Notifications can appear out of view:

Hiding the UI should permanently hide the chat. The main complaint about the current chat box is that it reappears for every new message.

done https://github.com/RigsOfRods/rigs-of-rods/pull/2488/commits/b1ba7cd90d8429e277e40531830537e5baa974c3

If you don't have the mod a player spawned, the "Mod not installed: name.truck" message isn't displayed

Its because we disabled warnings, if you enable it:

So should we enable warnings and hide errors only?
Yeah makes sense, done -> https://github.com/RigsOfRods/rigs-of-rods/pull/2488/commits/e6fb6fd674036ad84b0080c9739b09776b4ceb5c

If you type a console command (e.g. help) then close the console, the output will be displayed as a notification instead. It should stay in the console.

https://github.com/RigsOfRods/rigs-of-rods/pull/2495

and

If you don't have the mod a player spawned, the "Mod not installed: name.truck" message isn't displayed

is already fixed in master
