New Inventory System Idea
 

I was thinking of a way to improve the inventory system. This is what I came up with.

The notes in the image will explain a lot.

Things that would be changed/removed:
-Hotkey menu removed (see note about hotkeys in image)
-Character display in inventory removed (useless)
-Potion menu removed (replaced with timers on the actual inventory screen)
-Item amounts in the right panel of inventory removed (replaced with numbers on the actual icon squares)
-/hp command removed (kills to level would be displayed under player stats)
-Money, HP, and Armor display in inventory (removed because it's already displayed in the GUI in the top-left corner)
-Gun Stat bars on the right panel removed (replaced with actual gun stats)

New Things:
-Hotkey display on item icons, letting you know which guns are on which hotkey.
-Labels:
Would allow players to create labels, specify items to be under created labels, specify a color for the label, and have the items outlined in that color in the actual inventory.
-Auto Sorting:
Would automatically sort items according to their labels.
-Legend to tell you which color corresponds to which label.
-Additional stats displayed for guns:
Clip, Ammo type used, Shop Value, and Sellback value would be displayed on the right panel.
-Item Descriptions for non-gun items detailing what they do, what they're used for, where you get them, etc.
-Inventory setting button denoted by a wrench in the bottom-right corner of inventory.

-Changed the color, but that's just for looks (and to make color outlines stand out more).

I don't see why the inventory is so small to begin with. I'm sure having it that arbitrarily small when players have a lot of items is just adding frustration where it doesn't need to be.

I like the idea. I think it's very clever how you're coming up with all of these images mate.

Thanks XD I feel like showing people is easier than telling them.

I like pretty much everything I see here. One thing in particular: Weapon stats being more stats-like. You know the most annoying question? "What ammo does X take?". A LOT of guns right now take ammo they don't even look like they should be taking. EG: There are a few rifles that are consuming Uzi ammo for some reason.

i wanna have sex with your brain, fiber.

Looks alot better then the present inventory, nice stuff! rep+ to you

p.s. dw it'll come :P

I like it and If someone could possibly add a small button to hide both the side bars of the inventory I would appreciate it.

looks nice

It's got all the features it needs to have. Quick accessible, almost completely customizable, only shows vital information and looks completely stunning. Very well done.

As long as you're changing it you may as well go crazy and add everything you might want, not just what you can fit into the existing template.

I already made it slightly bigger vertically :P

great idea, 2 bad staff r busy making era songs

anyways i don't understand why fiberwyre was fired, he was 1 of the few staff members putting effort into what he was doing and producing quality products
for example he made the acr gfx (along with other gfx) but staff decided to change the acr back to it's old gfx which has a lower resolution that a 1960s tv
