Default [IMPLEMENTED][TEXT] Recipes' visual form


I think that current form is very ugly and has no design or style, just consecutive strings of text. So I want to suggest new text style:



Differences:
  • - no recipe cost in recipe name — shops are always active since you can buy items to your circle, so players always can see icon of gold with cost and recipe cost in recipe name is useless
  • + indentation for "Gives" and "Requires" substrings
  • + players can see recipe and its components costs in recipe form
  • + total cost

What do you think, guys?

Why not?

Would be even better to have a Shop Name near item that is required.

You can't use different font sizes in wc3 text, so item names + shop names will take 2 strings and this will be ugly.

Wow I love it ~BoB~! I'm indifferent for Total Cost of item but the simple menu spacing is delicious. You've got my support.

T-Up.

Total cost is already suggested by Cigaro. About the spaces, I don't know is it that required.

About the mapsize, yes, it does increase, but it is really really small ammount.

This is good, but more importantly, item descriptions need to be cleaned up to be less "giant wall of text". Take a look at Bfly's item description as well as most other items. By description I mean when it's in your inventory.

Default Re: [TEXT] Recipes' visual form

Outspacing looks neat. Total recipe is nice. Total price too. I remember when i started playing like 6 months ago and it was horrible at the beginning. I had no problems understanding the heroes the basics of gameplay etc. but the items are just a pain. This would have so cleared thing up for me as a noob at that time...

I think if one wnats to enhance the game attraction for beginners this is a good step...
