DIIIW Inventory

[CBX Entertainment]

what about %of mana stolen per hit?
it was a diablo 2 feature (thats why i suggest it), but its not in wc3
i know its kinda a user thing, but life and mana leech make a diablo feeling


well my suggestion: could you please make an overview of what bonuses you will add to the (diablo) system, so that we kinda know what we can still suggest and what is missing

 

[Anachron]

You can check the first post to see what modules I've made / am making / will make.
About item bonuses:
Please know that I'll make a module just for orb/leach and such effects.
That includes orb effect at any kind.

Away from orbs, what else do you need?

 

[CBX Entertainment]

maybe... trading items with a player (or shop^^)
just the idea that both players can see the other players inventory and tell them if they got any good items, that they want

cause you know.. if one guy picks up thousands of items, nobody in the team knows what he got

so: some ninja looter comes, grabs all items for your class and sells them
and you just stand there - naked - and say WTF?!

 

[Anachron]

Dude, thats horrible hard to make. I did a lot to just show the inventory to one player, so I guess I have to start from scratch with a new fullscreen menu.
And remember: I use one rect only for every inventory. So if you see yours and see the other ones, they will interact. I guess there could be a workaround, but not now.

What is really easy is to make an multiboard that displays every item the other one has. Is that good enough?

that would be fine for me. But make it so the user can decide if this option should be used with a boolean or something.

 

[CBX Entertainment]

I uploaded a pic that shows you how i imaged a simple trade window

seriously imposible?

 

[Anachron]

Oh well, that's possible
However, would eat a lot of time. Won't do this right now.
Will add it to TODO-Later.

 

[DarkDrek]

Is it possible to add durability to items so items can be destroyed...?

 

[Anachron]

Durability? Items can be destroyed? Can you please elaborate/clarify that?

 

[CBX Entertainment]

like items in diablo (ofc!)
all items got a durability and when you use them (eg. attack with sword, or get attacked and block with armor) they lose durability

thats why you always do the 'repair all item' button on the shops in diablo

E: i think items dont get destoyed in d2, but im not sure... they are unusable with 0 durability however

 

[Anachron]

I could add that too, yeah, ofcourse, no problem. Just another optional module.

 

[Catch_ya]

items that has 0 durability can still be equipped, however they dont give any bonuses until they are repaired* Also it dont lose 1 durability each time you get attacked/attacks they lose a little little bit and then after some time its broken.

 

[Anachron]

WAIT, what? Items that have no durability only get bonuses when they are destroyed? Thats really awkward.

 

[Catch_ya]

whoops im sorry -.- what a fail.. i meant repaired

 

[Slaydon]

He means, that if a unit hits you, like 20 times, depending on the material its made off, it looses durability, if it is 0, no bonuses are given and the thing aint working, so you must repair it and it will get bonuses back

 

[Anachron]

Yeah, I could do that. I was really confused about that item is detroyed -> it will give bonuses thing.

However, top priority has the latest module for now. (Orb module)

 

[Adiktuz]

wow, you're nearing the time to release it... btw what does the Orb modules does?

 

[Anachron]

Give you the possibility to create any orb you want. Lifeleach, manaleach, strengthleach, whatever.

 

[Adiktuz]

Give you the possibility to create any orb you want. Lifeleach, manaleach, strengthleach, whatever.

oh, great... this system will work with custom equipment systems and the normal inventory right?

 

[CBX Entertainment]

strengthleech? lol

any eta of the system jet?

oh, great... this system will work with custom equipment systems and the normal inventory right?

you mean the orb/leech stuff?

 

[Slaydon]

Orb = enchant? ;D

 

[Adiktuz]

strengthleech? lol

any eta of the system jet?


you mean the orb/leech stuff?

uhmm... the whole system?

 

[Anachron]

this system will work with custom equipment systems and the normal inventory right?

Sure.

 

[Catch_ya]

Anachron how would you make a strength leech ? permanent strength bonus each hit or what ? Or a timed leech

 

[Anachron]

Doesn't matter xD. Was just a crazy example whats possible.

 

[Catch_ya]

do we need to have any knowledge about modules to use this ? or only a little bit about structs and . syntax?
btw whats the difference between a struct and a module ? and whats

readonly integer i

- for example

i know its abit offtopic but i hope that you can explain it to me

 

[Anachron]

You need to know how structs work.
Modules are pieces of structs that get added when implemented. So basically, you add the methods / members to the structs I've made.

readonly means you can only read a value, while when you are trying to set it,
you get an error.

// CORRECT:
call BJDebugMsg(I2S(test.i))

// FAIL:
set test.i = 0

 

[Catch_ya]

Now i have learned some basic jass im going to take the step further and learn about structs and methods. I already know how to create a struct and methods and how to use them. I just haven't found anything useful for it yet.

And thanks for the readonly explaining. Lol i just saw now that its "read only"

EDIT: also could you do something like: X% chance per attack/getattacked to cast an ability. (the ability must be a unit and point target.)

EDIT2: ok these might no be avaible to make but. What about doing like "ignore attacked units defense" the unit with this item equipped will deal their damage in life and ignores the armor. And -X% target defense per attack. Same principle but not 100% ignore.

 

[CloudMax]

Are you guys going off-topic, or am i just confused? To me it sounds like anachron is teaching Catch_ya how to use jass? xD

Im not really sure if its off-topic or not.. but i dont get it anyway. Everytime in like "yey, new post" and when i enter the topic, i dont find anything at all D:

Im sorry for that. I just knew that Anachron knew what those jass stuff was. But as you can see above I also gave 2 suggestions to get back to topic.

 

[Anachron]

This has nearly nothing to do with inventory system at all. Hell yeah, you can easily add it, however, I am not really taking this as an suggestion, since I said a lot of times that events can easily be modified / added / edited / hooked / whatever.

EDIT2: ok these might no be avaible to make but. What about doing like "ignore attacked units defense" the unit with this item equipped will deal their damage in life and ignores the armor. And -X% target defense per attack. Same principle but not 100% ignore.

Well, I would need to use a DD system then. It isn't really belonging to inventories at all. However, I think this is cool, but it is really, as the above thing, totally easy implementable so I guess I ignore this.

 

[Catch_ya]

Well I forgot that. Thanks for reminding me.
f1n1zh th1z zyztem plox plox

 

[Anachron]

No problem. Still looking for something important I forgot.

 

[CBX Entertainment]

meh, i always think about 2 things, that i want to tell you, but usually i forget them, when im here

remembered one!
maybe, maaaybe you should compare the items in your inventory to your currently equiped ones
thats a common thing in most games, though it might be a bit confusing

oh yeah and the other thing: can you calculate the DPS a weapon would deal? makes it much easier to know for people, which weapon would make more damage
(either the.. helbard of slaughtering with +100 attack, but slowing attack, or the double rapiers of raping with +20 attach, but awesome attack speed)

 

[Anachron]

maybe, maaaybe you should compare the items in your inventory to your currently equiped ones

Hmmm good idea. I will need something like an board and an item stack.

(either the.. helbard of slaughtering with +100 attack, but slowing attack, or the double rapiers of raping with +20 attach, but awesome attack speed)

Sure!

 

[redmarine]

If I remember correctly you did once make a custom stat system. Would it be any useful for D3W?

 

[Anachron]

ahh well that system. I guess it could, however, i have deleted it because of how bad i coded it. i am doing this from time to time to give the users great codes only.

 

[CBX Entertainment]

Hmmm good idea. I will need something like an board and an item stack.

i dont think you can display 2 multiboards at the same time, can you?

well anyway, for the dps you need to get the heroes attack speed
can you do that?

 

[Anachron]

i dont think you can display 2 multiboards at the same time, can you?

No, I will display information of first item on above, make an horizontal line and then the other item down.

well anyway, for the dps you need to get the heroes attack speed
can you do that?

No, but I can check how much % the item gives at bonus speed and then calculate the new dmg increase.

 

[Zuljin]

Cool

 

[Anachron]

Cool? Nothing more? :S

 

[Zuljin]

Will be a system of suffixes and affixes of items, how in Diablo 2?

 

[Anachron]

Could be implemented. Its only changing one variable which is really easy.

 

[88WaRCraFT3]

This system is realy cool,epic... But how i see it will be hard to edit,because of more this options. No?

 

[Anachron]

I was afraid of this, glady its not that hard actually, if you know what you do.
I am really sorry you have to wait that long for it, however, most is done and I am planning to write a tutorial about it and then releasing it.

 

[karland90]

sorry for posting, but i have to say that this is PURE EPIC WIN! thank you so much ^^

 

[Anachron]

You thank me before actually getting this inventory? Its sweet, however, its not yet worth thanking me for nothing.

Please wait for the critique to the date I will release it. Thanks for your comment anyway!

 

[CBX Entertainment]

Please wait for the critique to the date I will release it.

is there any date?
i really hope you can finish it this week, because after that i got a lot of time for some mapping

 

[Anachron]

I hate dates. I don't know when its done, really.
Depends on the amount and size of bugs I'll find.

 

[CBX Entertainment]

one week and nothing has happened? :/
