DIIIW Inventory

[Deolrin]

Looks great. I really have no idea what all those functions and mods actually do, but it all sounds so awesome. I can't wait to play DIIIW again when you're done with this system! ^^

I bet you've been working on it for a long time lately.

 

[Switch33]

From watching the video, it doesn't really matter. Those textures are from the regular wc3 mpq anyways. It's mostly blizzard's work. They are orc no-inventory slots for the disabled icons. And for the background it seems like dialog borders which again is just wc3 textures.

If you want I can produce some newer skins/textures to make it really fancy once it's released.

 

[Anachron]

Correct. I use default textures, only some models which textures are being replaced by default ones are the imported things.

 

[syltman]

Someone removed that inventory system.

However, if anyone knows the source, I will give credit for it.
Also, those models have been around for ages, and I want to get constructive critism instead of discussions about crediting anyone.

I'm not 100% sure but it could be this one it's from

(link is safe I promise)

 

[Anachron]

Even they seem not to be the source. However, thanks for your efford.

I'm wondering, will your system detect hovering your mouse over slots? It would perhaps be a good idea if hovering over specific slots could describe what it actually does etc. However clicking would suffice anyway.

Also, will your system be able to handle using potions similar to our inventory? Like I equip it in your inventory and it automatically gets into the heroes inventory?

Anyway, gj on it so far. Impressive work.

He use trackables so hovering will work
And according to him, the potions would be easy to fix

QFT LTGH, exactly.

Bump. I have made about 70% of the beta, while most is uncommented.
But I am very positive that a working beta comes out this month.

 

[Belgarath]

i don't know if it's been said before, but the thing that came to mind when i was looking at the d3 inventory was, why exactly is the hero displayed there? attachment systems aren't used - he always stays exactly the same, what's the point?
just wondering.

Would look worse with a empty space in the middle of the inventory ;-)
And for a while, we were actually planning to use attachment weapons! :0
And if i dont remember it wrong, someone (cant remember the name) was working on a custom model for that barbarian skin we use, and when that is done, we will have custom models for all heroes, that means that we wont loose any file size for removing the weapons, becouse we will already have custom models anyway.
So maybe, at some point, we will add attachments..

 

[Linaze]

There is a kick ass Witch Doctor model on that russian site that shall not be named.

 

[CloudMax]

I mentioned that we only needed a custom model for the barbarian skin we are using.
We already have models & skins for all heroes except the barbarian, we only have the skin but i heard that there will be a custom model for the skin aswell.

 

[Anachron]

1st: The attachment system can also be easily added to my system.
2nd: What does a heromodel discussion has to do here?

 

[CBX Entertainment]

probably this

[CloudMax]

That have nothing to do with the system.
We are talking about the actual inventory system and how to improve it, NOT how or what our hero modesl should look like, that is an entierly different discusion.

 

[Slaydon]

i belief you mean the one facing up, but that can be changed in object editor.

 

[CloudMax]

Didnt i say in the post above that this topic is suppost to be a discusion on how to improve the inventory system & how to imporve it.
Not the hero preview model or something like that, Its just an eyecandy..

 

[CBX Entertainment]

how is the progress anyway?

and would it be possible to add attachments to that hero model in an easy way? i guess not, since its not a unit... (unless you screw the system and make a new place for every player with that unit changed and blah - hope you got the point)
but its not important anyway, just good to know

 

[Slaydon]

its very easy, you make a string called effects and set them to the path, and make another string to make head/chest/foot/hand in it, and then attach it

 

[Catch_ya]

maybe its a little bit complicated, but if you know how to set it up then its easy. Since i heard that anachron uses modules then he could make a module for it (maybe). Or a module for something ToadCop made called "add silence ability" this added an ability to the unit but the unit cannot see the ability.

how is the progress anyway?

I also asked Anachron about that and he said about 70% but thats a couple of days ago now.

Yes, I am very far. Redid some big areas of the system.
Thinking about adding ItemSets and then releasing the first version.

Exactly, will not be very hard.

 

[karland90]

I love your idea! keep up the good work. hope we can see something cool. /subscribed



*just my opinion*
im wishing for a FSI that has large bag/inventory, item equipping with attachments and most important: crafting/item combination


anywayz +repped

 

[Slaydon]

Reffering to MortAr-

cannot wait to see it... then after this a new version of DIIIW will come out right?

 

[Anachron]

Well, I release the public beta right after or at the same time.

Btw, ItemSets are getting really advanced. They can be equipped atm, also unequipped, however, something doesn't work when equipping again.

However it will be fixed and I will work more on the FSI-UI.

Then I might release the beta.

 

[karland90]

@Slaydon: im really sry for posting. btw i did read all of the thread

 

[Slaydon]

did you remember to set the item used false or something like i use, check if there is only an empty slot and no items and then set false

 

[Anachron]

Well, I currently have added an protected module which is required atm, it sets booleans whether an item is locked / equipped. Locked items are not able to stack, forge, or be used in any other way. Equipped means that an item has been applied to be carried.

However, the ItemSets work very smooth, I just have one small mistake I've to fix.

I soon will test consumeable items, I think there lay some hidden problems I did not think of.

 

[CBX Entertainment]

soo...
how are the bonuses the items give applied?
do you use bonus mod?
is it easy to add your own custom bonuses? (like.. variables or other stuff)

 

[Anachron]

you add bonuses optional with set ci.ame = value, while amr stands for armor or example and value for the value. its applied automaticly on item pickup or if disavlwd by you.

 

[The-Rave]

awesome..

 

[Anachron]

A new update!
I finally managed to do the ItemSets and Potions work.
The video can be found here.

Btw, I am now making EquipmentSlots.
This and ItemClass addons are the last for the public release!

So be surprised!

 

[Raggnarokh]

Good job mon, it's great you're making such progress!


--
So The_Silent is no longer in the team? Is anyone making spells/icons currently?

Is dansaDisco still in the team? I haven't seen him around since months?! What happened to him??

A bit offtopic but these questions sprang in my mind... =)

Could there be a feature to make the potions automatically move to the potion belt?

Your inventory gets more epic by the update. xD

 

[Raggnarokh]

The total ignore move

Sure, but then you have to manually set the item to be potion.
local CustomItem ci = CustomItem.create('Item')
call ci.potion = true

If you want I will add that.

The total ignore move

Raggnarokh, this is the completly wrong forum. Please post in the Diablo 3 Warcraft Map Thread or somewhere else.

 

[Raggnarokh]

This is plain stupid, my german friend! As if this subforum is populated by hundreds and hundreds of users and not just a small friendly company? What's the big deal with just adding a " Ps " to your post and answering few simple questions? I strongly disapprove your behaviour.

I have atleast twice said discussions which are out of topic shouldn't take place here. This is for the inventory only.
Many people do this as you do, and make ontopic forums offtopic. This is really annoying. I did not open this thread without a reason, I created it to keep the Inventorytalk into this thread, and nowhere else.

Also there is a rule in the Rule section which tells you offtopic talks in threads are not accepted.

I could add 1000ns of ps to my messsages, however, I am not willing to, because other people also start offtopic talks and its real reason gets lost.

On the other hand, what is so difficult to just post in the correct belonging thread as to debate about the rules that are clear and which I assumed everyone to take care of?

Please only discuss here about the inventory itself. Thanks.

(Btw, I am making the Multiboard for displaying the iteminformation)

 

[Raggnarokh]

I really like what you've done so far about the inventory.

 

[Anachron]

This is how I will display items in multiboard atm.
(Made in Excel, its just the layout)



Any critique?

 

[CBX Entertainment]

View attachment 73758

Any critique?

yes

i just guess the stats that are 0 (so non existant) will not be displayed

you could however add 2 fields for all tooltip needs
one before the item stats and one after them

cause some people might like to write a tooltip, then have the stats and then have some story or information about that items

although its probably not needed in most cases and i guess some semi-skilled jassers can add this feature on their own... but not all

another suggestion:
make the potions and stuff into a "quickslot" which basically means you have 6 slots, arranged like the hero inventory (the normal one) and when you add items to them, they appear as usables in your normal inventory
this way you could still have items with active abilitys
another interesting thing would be a different amount of quickslots/inventory slots for normal inventory if you change your belt
makes a lot of sense and got a bit of diablo style

I could do this too, but when I need to have 0 not displayed, its getting more complicated because the whole board is dynamically generated. If for some players the item is armor, for others strength its getting annoying to program. I will try my best.

Normal inventory? Wehrm, there is a maximum of 6 slots of the normal wc3 inventory.

 

[Anachron]

Sorry for bumping this, but I really need some feedback now.

I've worked on the Item Displaying Board, however, its not finished yet.

What do you think?

I will soon make it so that only the stuff that isn't 0 is displayed, but what else do you miss?

Btw, the video to it:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UsEsL4pARuM

 

[CBX Entertainment]

i know... let me try to explain it
in your videos you have 4 quicklots..
and you could make it like this: you got no belt equiped: no quickslots at all and hero gets no inventory ability
you got a belt with... 3 slots equiped: you get 3 quickslots and the hero gets a 3 slot inventory abilty

this way its pretty easy to implement such a belt-system

the only thing you have to worry about are shops
how will shops be anyway? will you make a FS shop?


about the board: looks quite ok now (just the thing with the 0)
but maybe it would be better if it just says:
+3 attack
+7% attack speed

instead of
attack 3
attack speed 7

but that is a user thing anyway

btw you could color bonuses (+6 attack) green and maluses red (-6 attack) (ofc changable with global variable )

Thats pretty hard to code imho. I can do it, but that has low priority atm. Nevermind, I will add it to the ToDo-List.

I can do it like this, but I also don't have to.

Also, the Shopping system will not be bound to CustomInventory and can be used without it aswell.

Yeah, but I kinda like the icon thing. Also from now on, 0 values are not displayed anymore.

Great idea! Thanks. Gonna add that too (+rep)

 

[Deuterium]

Nicee

 

[Anachron]

Dude, this post was so plain and unuseful^^ Can you give me some positive or negative feedback, aslong its constructive?

 

[redmarine]

two buttons for rotating the character? Lol. I'll come with some proper suggestions and criticism after school.

 

[Anachron]

You can't rotate the character with the Wc3 engine.
Somehow you can't change the pitch of an unit ingame. Thats really sad.

Else, any suggestions?

 

[Yixx]

Create 360/20 (if you want 20 rotational options) dummies with all a different pitch, and use them all.. meh probably way too much work for such a little option..
