Administration Panel 3 Info

I'm now doing like the 10th rewrite of Administration Panel 3 from scratch...

But i'm quite happy with way I've coded administration panel 3 now and I just need to clean up the code a bit, implement (again) the scrolling feature and finalize the reasons selector. After that I will just need to do the simplest part - add all the functions (kick, freeze, mute, broadcast, etc.) and Administration Panel 3 is finished!

For those interessted in the progress, I've got a screenshot of the current menu here with a few additional features that I will explain below:

At first it might look worse than the first menu in AP2, but let me explain some facts:

  • Overall, the size of EVERY menu has dicreased from 54 to 45. The last row (that 9 buttons less) is now completely reserved and is called the "Command Line".
  • The Command Line is a brand new feature introduced in AP3, containing many useful and new features:
    • Close Menu Button
    • Previous Menu Button
    • Scroller (Next / Previous Page)
    • 2 Info Buttons:
      • Currently Selected Player
      • Currently Selected Reason
  • Placeholders (another brand new feature) are items (In this example the white glass panes), which do nothing on click. It works best with Glass Panes as shown above, to "color" your GUI. For those who don't like it, it can be disabled. :-)

I hope you will like the new look and features of AP3 and hopefully you will soon be able to test it out on your own!
