Earl Report post Posted April 23, 2005 Very nice, that will be brilliant. Drag and drop, cool. I can't help notice the top to the list says food. Are there plans to store food in the future? Also there are no more subcategories for modable swords and magic swords? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wytter Report post Posted April 23, 2005 (edited) Well, all storages will be more flexible than they are today. So you can have 1 storage that allows storing food, clothing etc. but no items that are manufacturable. So yes, you might be able to get food from some storages. With the new interface, everything can actually become a storage. We can have storage spells, crates working as storages for certain items, etc. Furthermore, we're planning to have guild storages as well - of course only available through a fee. Oh and yes - there are no more sub categories. Edited April 24, 2005 by Wytter Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wytter Report post Posted April 23, 2005 It's in CVS as -DSTORAGE. You'll need to connect to a server that uses the new storage interface though ;-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wytter Report post Posted April 23, 2005 Well, no server uses the new storage interface to my knowledge But perhaps you can convince Grum or Mihai to put it up on the test server in some days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jakoblin Report post Posted April 27, 2005 this idea is so 99% like runescape storage that got a shiver just thinking about it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
duran Report post Posted April 27, 2005 well, the problem is that you can only do storage so many ways and still be user friendly. right now the storage system isnt user friendly (and a hackish use of the npc chat dialog at that) so therefor we get this. i dear you to locate a rpg storage interface that dont look something like runescape Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ruln Report post Posted April 27, 2005 RIght, who cares if some other system uses it? If the method doesn't suck then learn from others and make use of it. If Apple had excluded previously used solutions then MacOS would have been very different indeed as Xerox had already come up with windowing back in the late 70's.

Wytter Report post Posted April 28, 2005 Right. Well to be honest I wasn't looking at runescape when I made this - I just figured it'd be the most user friendly. Storage trading will be possible when you're in the near of a storage, and you have the storage window open. Currently my mind is split between 2 solutions - either have a special trade window for storage trading that's basically a merge between the storage window and the trade window or a drag/drop interface for trading; this'd mean that both inventory items and storage items can be traded using the same interface, and even at the same time (mixing storage + inventory items in the trade). With the first option, all items will go into the storage immediately. With the second the items will go into the inventory if you have enough room, otherwise they'll go into the storage. So, which one would you prefer? Or do you have other ideas? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lachesis Report post Posted April 28, 2005 I'd prefer the drag and drop version. Certainly more complex to implement, but also more intuitive to use. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wytter Report post Posted May 5, 2005 What do you guys think of a remote-storage spell that lets you either deposite or withdraw 1 item? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wytter Report post Posted May 6, 2005 Here's 3 pics showing how the depositing to a storage will happen: Talking with a storager... http://wytter.tfm.ro/elc/pics/storage1.jpg After clicking on the "Open storage", which opens the storage interface. I furthermore clicked on "Help" to get some help on how to use it . After opening the storage interface I went into the essences category. http://wytter.tfm.ro/elc/pics/storage2.jpg As you can see I'm currently dragging 32 items. If you wonder how that is possible, it's a new feature that lets you set the quantities yourself (up to 99999). Now I deposited the 32 items, and the storage shows how many items I have in the storage of the item I was using the last time. It will also show the quantity of the given item when you scroll your mouse over it - unfortunately there's not enough room to show the quantity all the time. http://wytter.tfm.ro/elc/pics/storage3.jpg As you can see I'm now only holding 8 items, since I don't have any more in my inventory.

Derin Report post Posted May 6, 2005 Looks great Wytter! I like the spell idea too, but is should be fairly low on essences needed I think. Just one question; will not the drop all button block the item description? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grum Report post Posted May 6, 2005 Just one question; will not the drop all button block the item description? Shit. Good thing I'm not getting paid for this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
duran Report post Posted May 8, 2005 two options to fixing that, shrink the grid size for the main inventory area or increase the size of the inventory window Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grum Report post Posted May 9, 2005 or move the button Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
duran Report post Posted May 9, 2005 err, forgot about that one ok, so 3 options then. but where to move it? and is it realy needed? how often do people drop everything they carry? looking forward to seeing the new storage interface in use. when will the test sever be updated to support it?

Wytter Report post Posted May 9, 2005 I think that we should just have a checkbox called "All", that would be usable for every interface. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
