Title: Items larger than 3x2
Post by: Dude on August 26, 2019, 07:34:28 pm

Just wondering about doing a mod with bigger items and such, like; 1x4 (swords) 2x4 (rifles) or 3x4  (launchers/bodies), feels like whilst the vertical dimension can only be 3 squares due to the equip screen the width doesn't need a limit, just wondering before I go to deep :P, wanting to subjectively "renovate" a few of the item that are too small imo, is that possible without modifying the source code?

Cheers!

i wouldn't recommend going more than 3 tall, as the "ground" wouldn't be able to contain it , but 3 wide shouldn't be an issue.
that said, the soldier's hand slot is 3x2 so that may not go over too well either/
