I don't know if it happens only with me, but sometimes I get tired of clicking too many times in that "+" icon to raise my stats, specially when I intend to put a specific high value, like 90 for str.

Maybe there could be an option to put a value manually, if you don't want to just click the "+" icon.

Could be a bit tricky, especially if the value you put can't be reached...

There's only one feasible option in that case and it's not undesireable: to get as close to it as possible.

Or do we have a "confirm" button for when we change stats? I can't remember.

I'd just like a close option for ALL npc opened dialog boxes. So that way in case you accidentally opened one, you could easily just close it and not have to go through the whole speech.

Oh also! The storage dialog box itself...could you make the first option be to open storage instead of the bank deposit option? Most of us talk to that NPC to store things not gold. I hardly know anyone who actually banks their gold away rather than just carrying it on their character.
Wishing things were different...hoping for better now.

Afaik it's already implemented with the "Close" button, isn't it?

That's a script design issue, nothing related to the client, but you're right on it, it's better to put the "most used" option in first in such script's menu.

However, what I was suggesting is that the Close Button be offered before you have to go digging through the npc dialog to close it. If you go to a NPC right now and click on them, you have to go through text and screens before you get to the option menu. Why can't there be a simple X button or something to close the box before you get to that menu screen? Just something to quick close it

I'd rather fix this in the NPC design instead. Allowing termination in the middle of a conversation makes things very difficult.

Actually, any NPC conversation can be terminated at any time by logging out. Always keep that in mind when scripting NPC dialogs.

Please do not send me any inquiries regarding player accounts on TMW.

Note also that logging out has other effects, such as wiping all temporary variables and warping out of nosave maps, that would be undesirable if they managed to be done on a still-logged-in player.

I have fixed a couple bugs by assuming that 'next' is atomic ... hm, iwbn if, sometime, there was a client-side 'next', so the server could send a whole set of messages at once. But that's a long-term, protocol-changing, feature, and tmwa is not quite ready for those.

I was so proud that I finally thought of some feature 4144 had missed (full access to automation features like /move).
Then I read the documentation.
