[CSYS] Meters
Changes to increase accessibility to meters.
CSYS Update: #1268 - Meters
Hi folks! Tiny bot with a tiny update.
Some current and past players had expressed difficulty in viewing the current color-coded meters. We have added a new feature: verbose meters.
Right now (if your character doesn't have Analysis) when you type 'meters', you might see this picture of the fight:
[ \\\\\\ < > ////// ]
Daniel 0/-------/---====|====---\-------\0 Abel
Without color and without Analysis, it's tough to tell that Daniel's KOed here. I mean, it never happens, right?
Verbose output can be enabled (and disabled) by typing:
meters/verbose
Now, typing 'meters' will show a different view:
-- Meters --
Daniel (Left Meter) -- Health: Gray (Disabled), 0 of 30. Reserve: 27 of 30. Super: 4 of 16.
Abel (Right Meter) -- Health: Red, 3 of 30. Reserve: 13 of 30. Super: 4 of 16.
And typing 'meters2', or to someone without Analysis:
-- Meters --
Daniel (Left Meter) -- Status: Gray (Disabled), 6 of 30. Super: 4 of 16.
Abel (Right Meter) -- Status: Red, 6 of 30. Super: 4 of 16.
We hope that this text-based format sounds more pleasant to folks using screen reader software. End the color tyranny!
Special thanks to Erron Black's player for his help in developing this feature!
Some notes:
- Verbose meters should provide no more information than Traditional meters.
- Traditional meters should provide no more information than Verbose meters.
- Folks will always see their own health in the detailed format.
- TOP status will be indicated if the person has more than one "chip" of super.
