Inventory Switching

Post by Shaladar »

I've seen this only once in the first shard I ever played on years ago so I know it's possible but how hard it is to implement I have no idea.

Suggestion:
Make it so that wearable/useable items in your backpack automatically equip when you double click on them.

For example, if I'm holding a bow and I want to chop some trees. I have to go to the paperdoll, drag the bow to the pack, then drag the axe to the paperdoll. (Or have a macro for every possible combination set up in Razor).

Like this If I want to use the axe, I would just double click on it and it would automatically switch places with whatever is currently occupying the appropriate slot(s). Dropping whatever is currently in the slot(s) to my backpack.

Reason / Argument
This makes for a more natural game play style and helps new comers to the game integrate easier. Most people are familiar with the Windows environment and double-clicking on things they want to use. Having this in place speeds up game play and reduces the learning curve for new players. (It's also a pretty cool feature that most shards don't offer. ;-) )

(If you go this route, beware items that are already double clickable. EG: Potions, Food, etc - Should only be scripted to affect wearable items such as clothing, weapons, armor, jewelry, etc.)

QUESTION:

I suggest *anything that requires coding or scripting*


ANSWER:

No


REASON:

*A lot of politically correct fluff and junk* I don't have time/skill necessary, signed shard staff

addendum:

If you really want something like this implimented, go find the script for it on the home page of the people who created the emulator we played on (can't remember if off of the top of my head) and post it here and send it to colibri via e-mail, that MIGHt get something done, i don't know though, never tried it myself.

Wish I could, the shard no longer exists though it was a fantastic place, the owners had had enough and moved on to other things in life.

Still finding and posting the code is not a bad idea, I'll take a look around and see if I can find out if anything exists. Thanks for the suggestion.

In the meantime, you never know, the staff may just surprise you, after all I've seen some other pretty good things on this shard.

I looked extensively today but with no luck. Sorry.

Only reference to this system I found was at another site that I know nothing about and no one from there.

In regards to jewelry they wrote...
" ... To equip the items, simply either double-click them or drag them onto your paper doll. ..."

Sorry I couldn't help.
