Really, I have, but I still miss my sidebar! Anyone else wishing the handy little thing would be gifted back to us? Especially with all the traveling, trying to keep track of what is where, it would make it so much nicer.

Ben, please, I'm begging you, will you at least consider bringing it back?

Ben, you could consider for the bar not to not have mouseover. The mouseovers are there on the map. And the picture of "feet" or "shoes" leave little up to the imagination as to whom you are visiting. :)

I too am a bit concerned with lay out. Suppose that takes a bit of expirementing. Unless the map got bigger up on taking the bar out. The most convenient place would still be next to the map, it fit prior to the change. If I can recall correctly it did not mess with the display of the suspect list. If it would, then the only place I can think of, is underneath the suspect list. There is still a gap underneath the suspect list (even on impossible), and the end of the map.

Adding an additional page, and it then not going on the map page. I think is definitely an option too. Just your list of suspects, and the icons. Saves loading of the entire map. Sure....it is less pretty. That is a sure thing.

Another would be sticking it on the case file page. This gives everything at a glance in that case. The suspects, the evidence, the townspeople. Also here lay out could be a problem.

Or....you could stick it everywhere? :)

For those who don't know, there used to be a 'sidebar' of shop icons down the left-hand side of the map, back when there was only a single city in the game.

So you could click on the sidebar icons, OR the icons on the map, to go to a shop....

I must admit that I really liked the sidebar and would be grateful for it's return

Not really a priority for me. I got used to how it is now.

Those who do not know what the sidebar is...play the tutorial!

LOL is the side bar still in there?

Mar-27-2005 09:43

yeah! The old map too!

I played the tutorial just to see what the side bar was and if I liked it, and either way is fine by me. I liked the side bar, and I like how it is now too....:)

The old map is still on the tutorial to this day. No, this is not a plea for change. I like that we still have that little peek into the past.
