Andor's Trail

2017 Edit:

• Here's the pull request for these changes.
• Inspiration for categories.
• Inspiration for sorting (thanks Mayweed for pointing it out)

I'd like to hear your suggestions and ideas.

The following are some images (both portrait & landscape mode).

Ok, thx

This is my suggestion:

| Offense (#) > |
| Defense (#) v |
Dodge #
Bark Skin #
Evasion #
Taunt #
| Criticals (#) > |
| Immunity (#) > |
| Utility (#) > |
| Advanced (#) > |
| Proficiency (#) > |

# = number of skill points placed

It reduces clutter and is organized.

Certainly doable.
Honestly now that I think about it, it seems hard to find any other design that wouldn't suck.
(at least to me XD )

Lol, but you're still open for other suggestions I bet.

You betcha. ;P

Although really this is already a major improvement over the singleton list atm.

Where does an item go if it is both a usable item and a quest item? For example, bread for probably the very first quest, "breakfast bread", or mead for the "drunken tale" quest?
But, I am VERY excited for a change/upgrade to the inventory list and skill list.

We're all excited!

If something is both X & Y, then it will be in both lists.
Any other way of doing it would require prioritizing one category over another which is just... I don't know.

Also, weapons & armor are mutually exclusive.
And I don't think currently there are any equipable weapons/armour that are also usable (aka consumable).

Side Note. Quest items are actually defined by their yellow-background.
The bread for the first quest is not technically considered a quest item.



The button now has a bit of a margin. Here's what I did for landscape.

More structure in inventory I often wished too!
I'd propose "armour & clothing", "usable & food"
But maybe not as drop down menu but as a list of icons? A picture of a shirt says more than 1000 words

But most of all I wish to have the new added items at the top.

For inventory this should fit. Skills might be more difficult.

Very useful, love it.

I like the picture idea, but has to look really good.

Newly added items should go on top, I agree.

As you also mentioned inventory sorting in your other thread:
There has already been some code written to sort the inventory
by different criteria. I don't know, if it is still usable, since that post
is some three years old, but perhaps you could take a look at it.

Mabe it is useful.
