*weapons

Tyhm · #1 08-22-2001, 02:00 PM

Undeletable weapons would look a lot nicer if, in the weapons list, their names appeared in red instead of started with a *.
Bomb looks a lot better than *Bomb, plus it'd make it easier for me to make the important weapons undeletable without making them all stoopid-looking. I get way too many people asking me where they can get ther Bomb and Bow back since they deleted them!

i agree but they shouldn't be that dumb either

Cloud_X · #3 08-22-2001, 08:01 PM

why not make them just look normal and when you hit delete on them the name turns red and it doesnt do anything.

I think all weapons should be deleteble, and the only change will be, that if you press delete, you will have a message and you will have to confirm the delete.
I don't want npcs that I don't use =P

yes but what about the system???? if they delete that then most of the stuff in graal is based on that with a non p2p

abcd9876 · #6 08-23-2001, 03:44 AM

But why make bombs and bows undeleteble?

Obviously that's how you do system, but what about when you want to do a firable but undeletable NPCW?
The suggestion "Just never use undeletable NPCWs" is invalid, there are obviously going to be a lot of cases when you DON'T want someone to delete something, but DO want them to be able to fire it. Reponsible levelmakers shouldn't force people to keep weapons they're never going to need again, or weapons they can get again later, but like the Warp Ring on Classic: if you delete it, by accident or on purpose, the only way you could get it back is to ask someone on RC to fix it for you.
I mean, I don't see the point of Bomy Pets, but you don't see me going to every suggestion about them saying "Just don't buy one, they're stupid anyway". It's a waste of space, only half a notch over Spam.
Back to the subject, given that I use undeletable weapons and would rather they not have that raw, DOS-like "*" in front of their names, does coloring the name instead seem like a better idea or what? I mean, it looks like it was unfinished, it's like how we say sethead head35.png to change our heads...it makes Graal look a little unprofessional when there's *Bow in your inventory instead of just Bow.
Ending now before I get into the said-commands rant...on and on about how saying something is a quick but poor excuse for an interface...

I think that sethead/shield/sword/nick should have tehre own lil window. MAybe you could bring it up with atl+# or something? And maybe witht he shields and stuff you can Browse through your directorties for the head/shield/sword you want and you can type in your nick name in a text box. Then you click Change or OK and it sends it to the server, thent he server changes your head. Just a thought.

sharkey · #10 08-23-2001, 09:42 PM

favorites folder for your head/shield/sword would also be sweet with that.

habek · #11 08-23-2001, 10:20 PM

How bout if you can change the order of your inventory?

Ok I got your point, but why the bomb\arrow bags undeleteable? You don't really need em =P

General · #13 08-24-2001, 05:51 AM

u could at least put them inside "*Warp Ring" if you dont want them deleted

Tyhm · #14 08-24-2001, 09:22 AM

If I move them into the warp ring, how's a player gonna use the Bomb Bag to load 10 bombs? Say Bomb, then fire Warp Ring? That's tacky...

So the warp ring will warp you to the newbie house, and refill your bombs and arrows?
Warp ring will be like 3 actions in 1 item? =P
Stupid idea.

Iracious · #16 08-25-2001, 02:55 PM

I delete bow / bomb if I get the better equivelant (fireball / superbomb). i hate having npcs i dont need
