An Electron and React-based desktop client for Eterspire

eterlite's Issues

Add extra window tool

In lieu of multiple instances, we should have a toolbar tool to spawn new windows for playing with alts. For mvp it is fine for this to be a stripped down window with no sidebar or toolbar.

Toggling plugin panels in fullscreen mode breaks the client size

It doesn't seem to resize when the plugin panel opens, meaning the panel covers a portion of it.

Add tooltips to toolbar buttons

Add refresh hotkey to prod

Really need to be able to refresh if anything breaks... especially during client loading

Implement Settings plugin

The Settings plugin will serve as a panel where you can configure various things about the application, as well as enable and disable plugins/tools. Settings is a special plugin in that it cannot be disabled, and it requires some help outside the plugin to function.

Prereqs:

• Write a SettingsProvider that loads settings from a config file (syncing with the main thread)
• Write a useSettings hook that returns a setSetting(setting, value, scope) function as well as a getSetting(setting, scope) function. These can be used by plugins to write arbitrary configuration settings to the settings file, scoped to the plugin. These functions should also sync with the main thread to keep the local file up to date.
• Build a switch or checkbox component
• Build a dropdown component

Add minimal mode setting

Would disable the border images on every panel, as well as the buttons. All gaps would be closed. The idea would be to save screen real estate and have a simpler aesthetic for users who don't want the stylized default UI.

Plugin / tool overflow menu

When there are too many plugins and tools on the menu, put the rest in a menu. Low prio because we don't have many plugins yet

Set up github templates

Mostly for bug reports.

Opening the sidebar is janky

Maybe try doing some absolute positioning with math instead of using flexbox here, because it causes the sidebar to flicker if it shows before the window has finished resizing.

Steam overlay doesn't work

Perhaps there's a way to fix this?

Client zooming

Allow zoom hotkeys ctrl= and ctrl-, and maybe add a slider to settings or something.

Lessen tooltip delay

1 second is too much, although I think 600ms is too little, so let's try somewhere in the middle

Notes plugin

Simple notepad for now, for the sake of having somewhere to write stuff about quests etc. Debounced autosaving to settings to store data. Icon is designed already:

Update checking

No auto-updating, but let's show a dialogue when there is a new update. Check against github releases

Add UI scaling controls / setting

Should allow zooming via hotkeys and via a slider in settings.

Highscores level column header is positioned wrong

The scrollbar pushes over the scroll view content, making it not align with the header. The width of the scrollbar differs between platforms, so I may need to do a platform check or something....

Highscores player filter

Just a text input above the highscores list that would filter your results in real time by name.

Add a client refresh tool

Clicking would pop up the loading screen, destroy the client, and reinitialize it. Needs:

• a toolbar icon designed
• a loading screen that can be scoped to only the client area

Error handling for client load failure

Definitely need to be able to retry loading this, it should try several times on a timeout and then have a failure state. Shouldn't need to force a refresh to fix errors. Also, validate the game instance!

Add clear cache option to dev menu

I had an issue today where I was unable to load the new map, and it ended up being because major components of my client were cached. It's easy to just dump the caches on load, and no reason to cache the client, so might as well so that this doesn't have a chance to happen again.

Animate score changes when refreshing highscores

Clean up react warnings

Calculator plugin

Just a basic calculator, like I'm back in middle school learning to program again

Add a counter too as a bonus

Make a proper app icon

I'd like to design a fresh icon for each platform, and not just lazily steal the Eterspire logo for it. Will also design the macOS one in Big Sur style
