Introducing the new Player Panel!

Recommended Posts

Hey Truckers !

I've seen many comments refering to the size of the new TAB system. I'll introduce to you how to make it look similar as it used to. 

 

1) Open your TAB and click on the Settings Icon

3) Go to the Interface section and set things like this: (HUD Scale & Windows opacity) and then click the Apply button.

Plus: Is important to enable the "Save Player Panel's customization" button in order to maintain the changes forever.

 

3) Now you will have your TAB Box with smaller texts and with less opacity, however we need to change the position of this mentioned. So with the TAB opened, you will press once your mouse right button and keep pressed the three 45° lanes on the down right side of the tab.

With this you will be able to change the size of the TAB. I'd recommend you to copy my customized size because of it's similar as it used to be (Old TAB) and you can see 95% of driver's tag + name information.

4) Now you will need to move the TAB box from the middle of the screen (change the position). How to? Easy, keep click pressed here (check image below) and move it to wherever you want. I'd recommend you to put it where it's mine because it provides you a clear vision of the road while driving so you will be able to check any driver's information anytime.

This customization helps a lot for having a clear vision of the road and checking the tab at the same time. Also makes the chat smaller so it won't be taking a lot of space as it used to. In addition if someone is overtaking, the opacity mentioned will be making you able to prevent any reckless situation against you or etc.

Hope this helps you to improve this new feature provided by the Developer team ❤️ . Leave a reaction if you loved it!
 

See you all on roads! :HaulieLove:

The Date/Time is convenient function and sadly it's removed, as it allows players to check current date and time without tabbing out and in or spare hands on any devices (especially when driving).

 

Another issue I concerned is, may we have bold fonts in it? It's overwhelmingly thin right now, which is kinda non user-friendly. The report button should be moved back to the bottom as where it's located in the old one.

At last, is there any technical issue that causes hover info removed?

This would be great if it didn’t also change the size of the chat

Longer player names are going to be cut off the column due to how the tag is displayed. I would rather have tag visibility as a toggleable setting.

I’ve just attended a convoy and I can confirm it was very difficult to see people’s names because a lot of the space was taken up by their tag name.

Removed my favorite part, the time/date. Usually I use it to determine how long I've been touring the game and when I should take a break.

 

As for reports, instead of the obvious “report” button, there is now an icon, which I don't think is necessary at all, as there is also one in the list.When you're driving, you don't intentionally scroll through the list, but rather click on the player's vehicle, and then click the “report”. Previous reporting methods will be more visible

 

Adding the mute feature is great, sometimes you hear some strange noises on the CD radio.

 

It doesn't look very good right now, hopefully it will be optimized and “Time/Date” will be added back.

 

Thank you.🫡

Reporting people through the panel has become really difficult. Where I could before click a players vehicle and press report, I now must click the vehicle, scroll to the highlighted name, press the small report icon and then report them. This prosses is really difficult and finding the player is not easy. I changed the Setting to show nearest player but this always changes meaning I am mis clicking and reporting the wrong people.

Another problem is that you dont need a player highlighted to report them, this means that I might of reported the wrong person and not noticed.

Please bring back the original report button.

You can still do this, the old report button has been moved to the top and switched to the flag icon, next to the history button, this works the exact same way as the old button previously.

From the blog:

Font & Text Render

We have integrated a new font engine, which means you will now see better support for a wide variety of languages and character sets. This way, you can see names and tags that contain special characters correctly. With that change, we’ve also changed the font to look more modern.

 

I noticed that Arabic doesn't seem to be supported still. Is that due to Arabic not being supported by the game itself?

I hate new UI, because it is missing the time and because even though it's either big(wide) I can't see whole nicknames or text size in the panel and chat is small, so for the same size of panels I see less, so overall in the current state (I hope you will improve it) I prefer the old one.

 

For comparison my adjusted panel:

The display function of deleting the date/time is really inappropriate, because it is for us to record the point of the accident to facilitate the submission of the report.

 

Secondly, I think the zoom function of the current new panel is still not so perfect. I hope it can be reduced a little more, because it really affects the driving vision at present.

 

In addition, the player's label and name will not be completely displayed after shrinking the panel, which does not mean that it is more convenient. I hope this design can change the size of the font display with the panel scaling.

 

I hope these will be changed in the near future update.🥰

I think it's a nice change and it's definitely more pleasing to the eye - unfortunately though, I'm going to echo the same complaint that many others have voiced already, that being the date and time function removal.

It's personally a really important function as (in addition to assisting in reports, as well as assisting in verifying VTC event attendance) I tend to run a single monitor setup - I keep Tab open all the time, but with the removal of this function, I now have to reach for my keyboard or my phone every time I want to check the time, as opposed to just being able to glance up at the top left of my screen.

 

I want to make it clear that, whilst it's not really a big deal in the grand scheme of things, it's certainly a quality of life feature that I would appreciate having back.

Removing the time and date isn't clearly thought true as you use it for a lot of reasons.

 

Not just web reports.

 

Also you have to make the tab menu so freaking wide to see the logos behind youre name it takes up so much screen 

why not make the logo's infront of the player id plenty of space there and the logo's are not that big. so you can make the tab menu smaller again.
