Vending tgui

About The Pull Request

Vendor Sorted nano to tgui

PR migrates /obj/structure/machinery/cm_vending/sorted vending machines from nano to tgui.

The vendor UI respects:

• themes: usmc; clf; upp; corporate
• recommended / mandatory / regular items

A noticebox popup is displayed when the items are hovered over, the items description is displayed.

The bulk of the data is statically generated, improving performance on ui refresh.

A search bar is provided at the top of the UI, it live filters the items.

Item icons are generated and displayed in the vendor UI.

There are no gameplay changes, this is purely a UI change.

USCM template

A basic UI scss has been added for USCM. It is rudimentary, sporting a background image. There is a lot of scope to improve on this but is still worth adding.

Why It's Good For The Game

This upgrades the UI from nano to tgui. It is a much more user friendly experience, making it easier to access many of the items the USCM use.

Changelog

multiple to_chats sent when taking off your id with the window open

Resolved this - problem was that I made the suggested change which put all the to_chats etc in the access logic and when the UI_State came back it flagged that you didn't have access without your access card.

Fixed icon rendering for ammo boxes, theres a few sprites missing for _reg and _blank ammo box lids

• if an item doesn't have a desc (and seemingly some items just don't) it should not show the lower box
• you should make the search bar not autofocus as if you try to walk away from a vendor without having vended anything it eats your inputs

[mullenpaul]

implemented changes, no more noticebox when item has no desc

For snowflake vendor:

CLF (retro style)

UPP (abductor style)

Any chances that we can have a fallback nano version? This UI isnt working for everyone.
I have a stable 120+ in the tgui "ping" and it spikes to 300-400ms whenever i scroll or vend one item.

Yeah this UI isn't good at all, it somehow makes lag worse every time you open, scroll or vend an item. Was this even tested?
