Key rings and chests

[Satrek2000]

I think this fits best here: I recently baught a keyring and put my housekey in it. I can open the house withit there, no problem - but my locked shests tell me I don't have the proper key. Shouldn't they recognize keyringed keys, too?
Also, I got a blue woven carpet, but when I drop it I can't see it - it is there, because I can pick it up by double click, but still I can't see it, neither can a friend. I got other carpets inside and none shows that behavious...

Well, the key to the chest is in the ring, but to open the chest, means closing the ring, and closing the ring means no key to the chest, which means no open chest. Bam! problem solved.

Also, the carpet thing? I dunno, maybe the GFX aren't done or something. Try dropping it outside first.

Sounds fine, except that I don't have to open the ring to enter the house - so I'd think the house checks my inventory for keys and keyrings - and checks them. House door even works when I got another container active and open - and it doesn't close them... Anyway, I just thought I'd point it out, it's nothing that'd keep me from playing... *backs off*

But the carpet doesn't work outside, neither...

Double clicking a chest to open it makes you close the key ring that has the key, opening a door doesn't close the key ring with the key.

[Satrek2000]

But opening the door doesn't open nor close the ring, apparantly it doesn't touch the active container - I could enter the house and my cauldron remained open. That's my point, why does the house door go without opening the ring and the chest doesn't?

Kaiser, no --

simply readying the key ring should be enough, and opening the chest wouldn't unready it (last part isn't a suggestion it's truth).

That's how I use my pouch when I shop, I just ready it and buy. It takes the money out and doesn't try to put a spellbook in a money pouch.

Searches keyrings for keys first.

You sure that works? I don't remember it working for me unless the key ring was open (or maybe it didn't work at all, I've forgotten).
