A Better Inventory Slot Layout

[The Reaver of Darkness]

Am I the only one who would do this?







A BETTER INVENTORY LAYOUT

I'm thinking there needs to be more 2x1 slots. There's plenty of 1x2 slots, and plenty of 2x1 objects. I'm trying to find a way to make the leg slots work as a 2x1 but it's difficult to squeeze them in.

Anyone have any ideas?

Personally I would get rid of the distinction altogether.
Treat 2x1 and 1x2 identically except rotate the object sprite when in the other slot type.
I don't see how it adds to the game, I just find it an annoyance.

X-Com hasn't discovered the technology of rotation yet?

+1. Item rotation is really what's needed.

Quick draw and belt mods.

Together they simulate having a holster and a fanny pack.

So you get 3, 1x2s.

I'd like a quick draw, like extended piratez, but it should be named QH (quick holster), placed at the left of the belt, as the mentioned mod, if possible

You're not the only one.
I'll make a new thread for this in releases, I just need to tweak the costs a bit more.


This mod is now released, get it here:

Holy MOLY!

That is a ton of inventory space!

I both Like it and don't...

Is there a way to define inventory by armor? That is to say could we make different armors have different inventory slots?

gonna post in OXCE+ thread.

XPiratez handles different armors and their capacities by adding Nulls that block out parts of the overall space.

I've not played too much of piratez.... I know I'm a slacker heathen or something.


So I'll load it up and take a look...

I'm assuming that it is functionally identical to what I am talking about, but has a different graphical effect.

Thanks IVAN!
