Toggle button to show/don't show the portal in the list.

[Skjolbir]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Sometimes I wish to have portals similar to the default vanilla portals. Say for instance, a portal on the ground floor of a tower to the top floor (stairs are lame). I don't want these two portals to clutter up the list however.

Describe the solution you'd like
I'd like a toggle button that I can turn off to remove a portal from the list. This will let me set up their portal destination behaviour locally, and then pretty much just use them like a vanilla teleport, from portal A to portal B and vice versa.

Describe alternatives you've considered
As of right now, I just prepend a "9" to the names of portals I want to shove/hide at the bottom of the list. This works for organisation, but it doesn't look so great.

Interesting idea! I'll give this some thought :)

I had a bonus idea, to have another toggle to show hidden portals in the list, so you can still select them remotely if you really need to, but otherwise the default behaviour is the list does not show these "hidden" portals.

I second this, as I have a lot of "trash, travel, explore" portals that appear in the list as well, that I do not care about the mats and just leave them where they are. Maybe as someone else said in another post, the folder structure?

Looking at Portal, hit E and the drop down to select portal would look like this (either being pre-defined or ability to name the folders yourself)

Collapsed it would look like this:

Bosses
Exploration
Farms
Local
Trash

Expanded:

Bosses

• Eikthyr
• Elder
• Bonemass
• Moder
• Yagluth
• Queen

Exploration

• IDK where I am
• Traveling to far destination checkpoint

Farms

• Greydwarf farm
• Jotun puffs/magecap
• Plains flax/barley
• surtling core/coal
• Ygg Sap root 1

Local (as in SKs example)

• Base downstairs
• Base upstairs
• Eitr refinery

Trash

• about to fight 2 star seeker soldier
• trying this jump without feather cape
• wood farming this area
  etc.

As it now I do the same, just put a ! or - in front of the portal name to organize it that way, but the list just keeps getting longer.

That hide/unhide sounds interesting, too! That way you could just put a map pin down for your trash portals but not show them in the list.

Sorry for the wall of text :)|

It's very unlikely that I'll make something like a folder structure for portals. Working with Unity's UI is painful enough as it is, and I don't have that much time at the moment.

It would involve a complete overhaul of the XPortal UI as it won't be possible to use the Unity dropdown for this. Plus you'd need somewhere to create/edit the folders, it's quite a huge task.

You can use an "*" in front of a category to keep it sorted
*For Bosses
**For Merchants
etc.
Each player can can pick a symbol to use for portals they create or arent very "group helpful"

I know you will still have a long list but still way more convenient than making a portal hub and running through a handful of them to make it home

[SpikeHimself]

Good addition! Personally I use a number system. The list can still get long but as you say, you can find portals easily.

Using the mod "Advanced Portals" also helps, as the colour of the portal (and its entry in the list) changes, making it stand out.
