[Suggestion] Inventory screen: scroll items backwards
« on: October 15, 2017, 12:27:07 am »
Hello everyone. I was wondering if it would be possible to change the inventory screen to make scrolling forwards and backwards like pictured below.
I am sure would be appreciated by everyone.

I don't understand. I don't see any scrolling in the picture that isn't already in the game. What do you mean?

@reaver:  its the Left/Right arrows directly above the pickaxe.

Yeah, this is a great idea.  Somtimes I scroll over to get a gun, but the ammo is on the previous page.  I often instinctually hit the left arrow at the top of the screen which just brings me to the previous character. XD

I'd love this feature.

The original game has that, except there's only one arrow. Unless you have several pages of things on the ground, there's no need for more than one page. Even with all the things I've added to my mod, I don't get more than 3 pages of stuff on the ground with everything added just to take up space. I can get 4 pages if I deliberately equip all of the launchers with different ammo so they don't stack, but that's just absurd. The only way I can imagine using 4 or more pages is if you aren't using ground stacking, or if you have brought a ridiculously large variety of weapons to combat and you aren't reasonably going to equip or use them all.

I usually have 4 screens of items in XPirateZ and that is playing fairly conservatively.  Just saying. 
This feature would definitely benefit mods with many items.  Not so much vanilla.

Right-click on the icon will scroll backwards in the next OXCE+ version.

Right-click is reserved for "exit screen" during the battle, so you can do shift-click instead.

Summary:
1. During base equipment, mission briefing equipment and in debug mode you can use both right-click and shift-click
2. During the mission (without debug) you can use only shift-click
