Archive Weapons

Just thought of this. If you have ever used a graphing calculator TI83+ or perhaps some other kind, you probably know about archiving programs, or making it so you can't accidentally delete them or let them get washed away with all the other junk without un-archiving them.

I think it could be set to good use on Graal on a person's weapon list. Currently, there are some weapons that a player cannot delete because they have a '*' in front of the name. Those would stay the same, no matter what the player tried to do to it. I was hoping Stefan could add a feature such that we press a letter/number/whatever and a weapon is marked such that it can't accidentally be deleted, perhaps by hilighting it in another color or such.

In the past, I have accidentally deleted some of my weapons because Num Lock was not activated, and I pressed the NumPad Del key to exit the weapons list. I ended up deleting about 3 important weapons before I figured out what the problem was. It may be that I am a *****, or that this has happened to other people as well (or both), but nevertheless, I think this would be a cool and useful feature.

I find it VERY suspect that you use the num pad....why would you do that? Second....it's your own stupid fault for using a key for "q" that is the same as "del" if numlock is off. Ya know, you can change the keys you press in the options menu....

The only time I use the NumPad is when I am closing the weapons list. To open it, I use Q. And yes, it is my own stupid fault that I deleted a bunch of my weapons, as I have stated above. And yes, I am aware that I can change keys in the options menu, as I use the W key for pausing. In the future, I hope there will be some comments other than people telling me how stupid I am.
