PRACTICE SETUP ยท one button, one modal
Your idea of 10 Nov: practice gets one button in the match header that opens a sectioned modal with every practice option, and the in-match strip goes away. Drawn on the real practice HUD (pause button top left, zoom pair top right, today's five-button strip between). Part of the same page set as 106 kill priority. Nothing is built yet.
The header: strip out, one SETUP button in
Today's strip is five buttons (WEAPON, BOT, AMMO, ARENA, TRY ITEMS), 48 tall, from x 62 to about 704, between PAUSE and the zoom pair. The new button takes the first 132 units of that same row and the other 570 units go back to the fight. Name: SETUP with a sliders icon. The round line under it already says PRACTICE, so a button also called PRACTICE would read as a label, not a button; SETUP reads as "tap to change things".
The modal, open (tap the tabs and switches)
A left rail of groups and a pane of option rows. Adding an option later = one more row in a group; adding a group = one more rail entry (the rail scrolls). Nothing else changes, so it grows without a redesign. Every row says when it takes effect: LIVE (right now, behind the modal) or ON CLOSE (when you close it, e.g. the arena reloads).
Notes
What replaces what
- The strip (WEAPON, BOT, AMMO, ARENA, TRY ITEMS) is removed from the HUD. Same saved keys (PracticePrefs), so a quick start from the practice setup screen still matches.
- The weapon and item pickers stay the same sheets; SETUP just opens them from a row.
- The dev KO tester stays where it is (inside the weapon picker).
When each option takes effect (my reading of today's code, to confirm in the build)
- WEAPON, AMMO, BOT: LIVE (the match settings are applied at once).
- TRY ITEMS: LIVE, the item spawns behind the modal.
- ARENA: ON CLOSE, the arena reloads once, not at every tap.
- KO FILMS (new): LIVE, from the next KO. Off = a KO is just the hit, no film, no slow-mo. Only for this practice match, never saved for online.
Room to grow, nothing extra shown
Only the six options you named. No placeholders. A later option is one more row in a group; a later group is one more rail entry (the rail scrolls), with no redesign.
Coordinator's pick
Button named SETUP with a sliders icon, placed at the strip's old left edge (x 62), right beside PAUSE. Rail of groups plus option rows, with LIVE / ON CLOSE tags on every row.
