To all SSC Station occupants
Thank you for the donations over the past year (2024), it is much appreciated. I am still trying to figure out how to migrate the forums to another community software (probably phpbb) but in the meantime I have updated the forum software to the latest version. SSC has been around a while so their is some very long time members here still using the site, thanks for making SSC home and sorry I haven't been as vocal as I should be in the forums I will try to improve my posting frequency.
Thank you again to all of the members that do take the time to donate a little, it helps keep this station functioning on the outer reaches of space.

Thought I'd get in and show this off before the speculation starts in the Google+ Page thread 🙂
We've been experimenting with rebuilding our UI from the ground up, using a library called libRocket. Its still a long way off and there's some curly problems to deal with but so far the results are looking promising.
The basic arrangement is that most aspects of the UI would be decoupled from the game core and modifiable via RML and RCSS files, are libRocket's HTML and CSS subsets. Among other things this means that the entire UI would be completely reskinnable just by changing a few files in data/.
Various screenshots and technical discussion here:

Note that although we're pretty sure this is the direction we want to go, there's still lots of stuff we haven't figured out and the layouts and buttons presented here are only tests. So don't be too criticial 🙂
hey that looks neat!
Here's some more recent screenshots that aren't in the issue.
Secondary camera test:
Scrollbar tests:
Commodity trade or inventory experiment:
Best.Decision.Ever. Adapting the Frontier interface one by one permanently would have seriously hampered the game in the long run, and would have turned a lot of palyers that are not out of the "old school".
btw, what kind of a trade good is "boating accident"? 😆
I know some professions deal regulary in such things, but they usually produce them themselfes instead of buying them at the store... 😕
im very much liking this as it gets pulled off
I'm really encouraged by how all of this is looking guys. Good job so far!
I said the exact same thing to my wife last night! 😉 😉 😆 😆 😳 🙄
