Bod Book Page Numbers

Post by Tahris Nayloc »

I kind of get annoyed when I know the bods I need are on the last few pages of the book, and I have the book maxed at 500 bods. It would be handy to quickly jump around based on page numbers.

Not that I have 500 bods of any one type on Excelsior yet, but I'll get there!

I'm not sure if this is the same with the BOD book, but try double clicking the tab to change pages. It should just skip to the end.

Id rather see greater sortability excel sheet style. i.e. click on the top of the name column and you can sort it alphabetically so you can see how many fire steed BoDs you have, maybe with the sorting an alphabetical column would show up so you could click to G and see Giant Frogs and Great Harts etc

Hmm. That would also work. My thought was less towards a Bod book overhall and more towards just adding an easier navigation. The data for what is on each page is already stored (though based on the current system it may be a linked list...ehh.) so I'd imagine it would just be modifying the gump and adding functions for jumping pages.

Using the book more like a spreadsheet would require putting in sort functions and, again, gump modification.

Then again, I've never examined the code for this stuff so my coding viewpoint may be off base.

What I'd like to see is simply to not have the book reset every time you remove a bod. Let's say you're pulling small bods to fill a large bod. The smalls you need are (as an example) on pages 5, 7, 10, 11 and 16. First you turn 5 pages and remove the bod. It'd be nice to stay on that page and just turn 2 more pages but, no...we have to start over and turn 7 pages, then start over and turn 10 pages and so on.

if you can get them to put in the storage keys I suggested a while ago, you would get that

now this is a great idea. you don't know how annoying it is to be know bull 20's on page 8 after pulling a cow 20 on page 7. then it starts at page 1 after you remove the cows. grrrrr.
