+--- Thread: Observe menu has A LOT of entries (/showthread.php?tid=1823)
Observe menu has A LOT of entries - Clarks - 11-19-2013
There are usually a ton of Bots, and several more entries when someone gets many crates of monkeys. Sometimes finding the guy you want to observe is... hard.
Could there be an entry alwas at the top like "Sort alphabetically" which would remove all non-players from the observe list?

you can hit the first letter of their name on the keyboard to insta-highlight that and it works great if they are Z-something, but again because all bots are down as BOT#1: Firebot and such, you can't find any dudes beginning with B very quick

Yeah, this is the main issue really.
Maybe give a prefix to things that aren't human, so like *BOT#1? That would distinguish between it pretty easily.

Well I noticed robots including Beepsky are listed as BOT:. Maybe do that for everyone else too? Like MONKEY: for the monkeys, or just NPC: for everything? I dunno.

can we get it sorted alphabetically by default? the fact that it isn't is what annoys me the most about observing
