Equipments to be grouped like other items
When hunting red slimes, collected red apples get grouped into single slot. I request that same grouping to also be there for equipments, like 50 knives will be put together into single slot. As a player can carry max 100 slots, storage has 300 and it becomes easier to move equipments around between players and players / storage.

Re: Equipments to be grouped like other items
Its meant to take up space in your inventory and be like that. It makes it harder to bot and harder to grind. otherwise those red slimes would be squishy piggy banks.
The secret to getting all the important stuff done is doing nothing.
Re: Equipments to be grouped like other items
It's trivial to change this on the server side, and it *is* planned. But there is a major problem: currently no *quests* are written to work with it. Particularly, quest that delete a piece of equipment currently assume that it is safe to call getitem.
If you want this to get in, you need to review all calls to delitem to check whether they assume a subsequent makeitem will work, or else modify the new atomic transaction script and then port all scripts to use it.

Thanks. I realized that as it's same for everyone, it doesn't matter anyway. I should be caring more about game expansion and balance; though I haven't cared about them yet :p
Re: Equipments to be grouped like other items
The reason why eAthena handles equipment as unique items is because it allows to upgrade and modify equipment. When you make items stackable, you might lose that ability. It might add more to the game when you would instead try to expand on equipment customizing.

You might have heard a certain rumor about me. This rumor is completely false. You might also have heard the other rumor about me. This rumor is 100% accurate.
Re: Equipments to be grouped like other items
It's quite possible to upgrade equipment and still allow stacking.

Re: Equipments to be grouped like other items
Hmm being curious, do arrows work different here (edit: obviously yes, but shouldn't it then be possible to do the same with other equipment)?
They can be equipped and are grouped.

Re: Equipments to be grouped like other items
The following numbers exist in the 'type' column of item_db:
Code: Select all
USE = 0, // in eA, healing only stackable
_1 = 1, // unused
_2 = 2, // in eA, other usable items stackable
JUNK = 3, // "useless" items (e.g. quests) stackable
WEAPON = 4, // all weapons
ARMOR = 5, // all other equipment
_6 = 6, // in eA, card stackable
_7 = 7, // in eA, pet egg
_8 = 8, // in eA, pet equipment
_9 = 9, // unused
ARROW = 10, // ammo stackable
_11 = 11, // in eA, delayed use (special script)
