Change pup training UI

Change pup training UI
Posted 2021-06-29 01:35:43 (edited) #485992 Hi all! short version: pup training UI proposal: check the gif at the end. long version: After a few days of using the pup training UI, I find it a bit cumbersome. As a DIY, sticks-and-glue solution to make my life easier, I always give littermates the same training, and give them a name linked to their mothers so whenever I need to manage pups it's doable (similar stats), and I add to the name of adults and pups the stats they need to raise, but that only makes it slightly better (and it's ugly): when I set up pup training with four or so litters, I need one tab open with a pup from the litter whose training I'm setting up, so I see their previous training, one tab with my den so I can check all possible mentors stats (if not one tab per pup and one tab per mentor), and the pup training tab to actually assign stuff. My suggestion would be: - in the pup training tab, you first choose which pups you want to train (only trainable pups, so with the right age, not yet trained today, etc., would be in the list; it would work like the other multi-selectors on the site, for example the TC's Create Trade one or the TC's Search Item one, or the current pup training pup selection). When you select a pup, you see all their stats, and the state of their training. - you then choose the stat to train, then the specific lesson (stats and lessons not available for all selected pups would be grayed out; description might be available, but greyed out). - at this point you'd have a table showing for each pup the relevant stat and the state of the lessons in that stat. - you then have a list of available trainers. For each of them, their stats, energy and current role would be visible (making the pups' a different color depending on how many stat points they would gain would be great, but has in my opinion a lowest priority than the other changes presented here; having all stats of the currently-selected trainer be visible would let me choose the high-agility trainer for the agi training rather than the agi-and-speed specialist, which I would reserve for the speed training). Trainers with the right role but not enough energy would be visible but grayed out; trainers with the wrong role could be invisible I guess. It would make much more easily visible those important (currently hard to check) informations: - if there still are pups to be trained - which pups need which training - whether a potential teacher has high enough stats for maximal pups stat gain - which stats a potential teacher would benefit from raising It might be more complicated to set than just UI changes, but I believe it'd be beneficial. here's a gif of how it'd work for a lesson with two pups	Fal - semi hiatus #43456

Hi all!

short version: pup training UI proposal: check the gif at the end.

long version:
After a few days of using the pup training UI, I find it a bit cumbersome. As a DIY, sticks-and-glue solution to make my life easier, I always give littermates the same training, and give them a name linked to their mothers so whenever I need to manage pups it's doable (similar stats), and I add to the name of adults and pups the stats they need to raise, but that only makes it slightly better (and it's ugly): when I set up pup training with four or so litters, I need one tab open with a pup from the litter whose training I'm setting up, so I see their previous training, one tab with my den so I can check all possible mentors stats (if not one tab per pup and one tab per mentor), and the pup training tab to actually assign stuff.

My suggestion would be:
- in the pup training tab, you first choose which pups you want to train (only trainable pups, so with the right age, not yet trained today, etc., would be in the list; it would work like the other multi-selectors on the site, for example the TC's Create Trade one or the TC's Search Item one, or the current pup training pup selection). When you select a pup, you see all their stats, and the state of their training.
- you then choose the stat to train, then the specific lesson (stats and lessons not available for *all* selected pups would be grayed out; description might be available, but greyed out).
- at this point you'd have a table showing for each pup the relevant stat and the state of the lessons in that stat.
- you then have a list of available trainers. For each of them, their stats, energy and current role would be visible (making the pups' a different color depending on how many stat points they would gain would be great, but has in my opinion a lowest priority than the other changes presented here; having all stats of the currently-selected trainer be visible would let me choose the high-agility trainer for the agi training rather than the agi-and-speed specialist, which I would reserve for the speed training). Trainers with the right role but not enough energy would be visible but grayed out; trainers with the wrong role could be invisible I guess.

It would make much more easily visible those important (currently hard to check) informations:
- if there still are pups to be trained
- which pups need which training
- whether a potential teacher has high enough stats for maximal pups stat gain
- which stats a potential teacher would benefit from raising

It might be more complicated to set than just UI changes, but I believe it'd be beneficial.

here's a gif of how it'd work for a lesson with two pups

Support for the UI being changed. Right now it doesn't provide enough info and everything is in a weird order. I choose the stat being trained first? Before choosing which wolves are actually participating in the training? That doesn't make sense to me.

Support!! As Katie said, it's super confusing to pick a stat first before choosing a wolf, and having to have a million tabs open just to train some puppies is quite an annoyance.

This....would be very helpful. I can't say how many times I have trained pups and later realised I put them in the wrong lesson nor how often I've given them the wrong mentor. I have like 18 wolves and 20+ pups at any given time, I can't memorize everything I need to remember for training. I can't imagine how big of a pain it is for larger packs that don't try to sell most of their pups immediately after weaning.

Support.

I've recently unlocked puppy training, and that was one of the first things I've noticed once I began training more than a few. It is very cumbersome to select which pups receive which training, and I always need to have several tabs open just to see who had what training so far, and who I can pair together on that day, etc.

I edited the first post to add a gif so it's clearer how it'd work.

Yes! Support!
It is confusing and annoying just like assigning puppies to Pupsiters used to be. Devs improved it and now puppsittnig works really fine. I believe they can make similar changes to Pup Training.

Support!

I LOVE your mock up honestly, at this point I have a bit of paper with all my pups listed under what they need training for and mark it in their names XD and I still need to go check what the adults stats vs the pups are in new tabs it takes a bit. This looks far far easier and cleaner to use! :D

Big support! The mockup gif is fantastic, that UI looks like it'd be perfect.
