Era's New Inventory

It seems you thought of everything.

How about being able to rearrange the order of the tabs by dragging them around?

Actually no. You can re-name them all except the "All" tab, but that's about it.

Thanks man, here's a quick tutorial video I put together. I still get a lot of players who are a bit confused by the new inventory.



One of the things I've removed was the color in each slot, it's very confusing apparently, I will still work on allowing custom colors for items to fit each player's needs later on though. An update I'm working on will allow custom inventory sizes (I've gotten complaints that it's too big).

From outside looking in:

1. You should make an 'auto-sort' so people don't have to manually move items into tabs before they can take advantage of the new system.
2. You seem to have hold Q to keep the inventory open -- probably a bug.
3. You should implement some kind of keyboard navigation, and/or make the search field a firstresponder so I can press Q then type in guns or whatever to find what I'm looking for without having to click the search field with my mouse.

Yeah, an auto-sort might be worth doing. Holding 'Q' to keep the inventory open was done on purpose. Your last suggestion would be useful, but since you have to hold 'Q' it wouldn't really work.

It's definitely worth doing, you must have some sort of categorization that you can do to do a pre-sort for people instead of forcing them to organize it themselves from the get go.

It seems counter-intuitive to me and annoying. Were you not annoyed by the fact you had to hold down Q for 2 minutes while you made that video?

I think something like this would work better:

1. If they press Q and don't hold it, leave it open, and use Q to close it again.
2. If they hold Q (> 0.2 seconds), close it when they let go.

Just hit the X and the inventory stays open. That should give you plenty of time to sort your stuff one time.

Every other server has the same functionality of holding Q for inventory, given you only use a mouse to operate everything within the inventory I really don't see where your problem is.

It would be even more annoying if I had to double-tap Q to use it honestly. This is a fast paced server where you quickly select a item then switch back with hot-key, not search your inventory for the cutest item to use.

Why not have an item bar then so you don't have to go through the inventory at all?

Like I said holding Q it would function how you're used to but if you only tapped Q once it would open and stay open till you tapped Q again.

The only server that uses the Q hold system is GK while other servers use a Q toggle.

Thanks for the advice, before I logged off today I was able to get an auto sort feature done. I just have to make a GUI option for it in the options "gear".

I only held 'Q' for no more than 30 seconds in the video. As Rogue stated, there's a 'X' lock to keep it open.

It says X because that's your hotkey for that weapon.

You may or may not have overlooked the hotkey upgrade that gives you six hotkeys.

I've accounted for it, I don't have it enabled on my account since I haven't purchased the upgrade for myself.

Okay, so here's what happened in case anyone is wondering. I did a little checking around and turns out Rogue had named his first tab the same as another tab which completely reset his entire inventory. Good times.
