[vJass] (System) CustomInventory

[Slaydon]

Mine did it!!

but seriously, this is awesomesauce

 

[Anachron]

Thanks guys, I think I will do the vendors on the next big update (after this one).

 

[88WaRCraFT3]

Okk, now you have continue with updating system not removing leaks.

 

[Slaydon]

were there any leaks? and he is updating it ?

 

[Anachron]

You mean removing bugs.
I continued, but only for the next UI version.
After that one I have school and a lot to learn.

 

[88WaRCraFT3]

ooo yea. Sorry my bad. +rep for excusion.

 

[Anachron]

Okay guys because I love you I made this preview of the next version.
It has the UI-update I promised so long. Have fun.
I'll do attachment system tomorrow and release next version.

 

[88WaRCraFT3]

It looooookks awesome!!!! And works awesooooommmeee tooo!!!

 

[Anachron]

Of course, I did not touch the core code, just the UI.
That's one of the good stuff of this inventory.

Glad you like it.

 

[Etzer]

lol he should update leaks too |o EDIT | bit slow here |)

 

[Anachron]

Slow? It can't be slower then the other UI.

 

[88WaRCraFT3]

Later when you finish skin, i have another idea for UI. You can pm me if you want.

 

[Anachron]

Wohoo, 1k downloads this night. Thanks everyone for downloading.
You can tell me the idea here, you know.

Edit:

Attachment system. Does that mean attaching weapons and removing the original "Hammer" and giving a claw or what?

Wait, no, it will NOT remove the original hammer. The user will have to do it. Its impossible to do such things with triggers.
You will basically be able to attach anything on any position to the unit.

 

[88WaRCraFT3]

Ok i will screen it and post here. It will look like man(background) and on that background paste inventory slots, on hand left of background paste inventory slot hand left etc...
Here is picture to get what im talking about :
But on this UI is double more inv slots. I think that you have get what im talking about?

 

[Anachron]

Yes, but I don't like it, sorry.

Edit:
I was thinking about making a little information box for the hero where you can see
the actual stats of him, like +Dmg, +Armor etc.
(You will hover the hero in the inventory and you'll see the name, level, item bonuses and such)

To bad I can't get the basearmor, basedamage etc.

Anyway, what do you guys think about it?

 

[88WaRCraFT3]

But you can set his current stats, strength,intelligence and agility, hp and mp and something other, idk.

 

[Anachron]

But there is no way to get the default values of an unit.
I will just purge my idea since you already have the normal UI interface from the hero.

 

[Etzer]

Haha. Anachron you misunderstood me.
I saw the "He should update the UI instead of leaks" by Warcraft, and i wrote to him "He should fix the leaks" but i didn't see there were a whole new page.
And the "Slow here" means that somebody else had already wrote.
I will be testing the new UI for the first time NOW.
Sorry for making me not-understandable

 

[Anachron]

What is slow? Tell me anything that is slow on this system? For me everything is working very well.

 

[Etzer]

nononnono
I (me) were slow to WRITE!
The Inventory System works great!!

 

[Anachron]

Ah, now I got it, lol. Thats great. Sorry for the confusion.

 

[Etzer]

OK. First time it worked great. 2nd time i got (several (minor)) bugs :

1. I clicked the "Clarity potion" in lower left corner, but it targetted the "Hood of epic awesomesauce" right to the right of it. (lol word mixup)

2. Clawns of attack. (Clowns of attack you mean?). Well the point is, you got a 'n' too much

3. The "Stat shower" (Upper right corner) were kind of slow to show the stats of the weapon i had my mouse on. Is this a coincedence, or do my computer suck?

 

[Anachron]

1. I clicked the "Clarity potion" in lower left corner, but it targetted the "Hood of epic awesomesauce" right to the right of it. (lol word mixup)

I guess that is a tracking problem then, I'll check whether this is possible.
Maybe I have forgotten to change the trackables somewhere, I'll check that.
Bigger size > causing selection bugs) Please also make sure you select the images in the middle.

2. Clawns of attack. (Clowns of attack you mean?). Well the point is, you got a 'n' too much

I really suck at English.

3. The "Stat shower" (Upper right corner) were kind of slow to show the stats of the weapon i had my mouse on. Is this a coincedence, or do my computer suck?

It's normal, that's wc3.

1st of all, you don't suck at english!
2nd WC3 really sucks that hard?
and how should i move it into the middle?? (The items) (and there is literally no chance of people knowing that without asking the author (you))

 

[Anachron]

Well, I have never experienced that bug, so I can only guess it has to be that.
And besides, yes, wc3 does really suck when it comes to proper event handling.

 

[Etzer]

...You are probaly right

#Update - 0.2.1.0.1

0.2.1.0.1

• Added the new UI. Have fun.

(Nothing new actually, just releasing the UI version.

 

[hell gate]

:d 6/5 :d

 

[Catch_ya]

Update the screenshots.

 

[Anachron]

I have, press CTRL + F5 to update your cache.

 

[Slaydon]

Hmm, the items randomly goes into a slot ( i feel ) maybe arrange them so they go:

-> -> ->
-> -> ->

instead of

î
î
î

Agree.

#Update - 0.2.1.0.3

0.2.1.0.3

• New UI slot positions have been changed. The new items now appear in the first row, from left to right, from top to bottom.

 

[Etzer]

That were damn fast you fixed that

 

[Anachron]

Of course bug should not be open that long.

 

[Etzer]

It were like, 10-20 minutes since they requested it

 

[Anachron]

Known bugs:
The new trackable (click detection) models are not working properly.
This should have to do with the new model I used from chiller_killa.

I will request a new version.

Edit:
Next version will have an easy setup library that makes it totally easy to implement it into your map.

 

[karland90]

okay i took some time to test the fsi again too.

- firstly, i found accidentally out that if you click esc excessively fast, then you get a minor bug: the hero (paladin) wont be auto-camera-centered any more if you exit the inventory. this bug lasts until i center the camera to paladin manually (double click on his portrait) or until i move camera with a click (to minimap).
- secondly you had a really minor typo: i think you should use abbreviation "agi" instead of "agy" for agility. this was in the attributes.
- would you mind reminding me again, what was the blue box for? the one next to drop and exit.
- you should implement this feature: when i have an item selected and click again on the same item (re-select it) then it would deselect the item.
- maybe you should make it so that i cant select empty slots: no item - no selection (yellow glow). or is that useful for some reason unknown to me? i have the feeling that it would look better when you cant select empty slots.

I hate stupid users, anyway, I'll fix it by giving it a limit of opening/closing it once in 0,25 seconds. That should fix it.

Aww, damn that.

To disselect item. Could be removed on...

- you should implement this feature: when i have an item selected and click again on the same item (re-select it) then it would deselect the item.

... this little idea. Thx.

Well, I don't know. I can implement it. I will check it.

I am currently remaking the example and adding CISetup, a short library where you set up your values for your map so its a hell easier to implement.

#Update - 0.2.2

0.2.2

• Huge code update.
• CISetup has some really great settings for implementing the CI easy into your map.
• Removed disselect button,.. Now you disselect when clicking on an item twice.
• To many small fixes that I can list them here.
• Only needs 1/4 of the area from the last UI.

 

[Cr34p]

here... remind you to add direct item swapping, hope you remember

 

[CBX Entertainment]

[*]CISetup has some really great settings for implementing the CI easy into your map.

yehaaw

EDIT

the trackables are not in the same spot as the doodad icons


it shows me actually the potion in the row below

and another thing: when i pick up all items and then go into inventory, it merges the potions upon opening (they take several slots for a very short moment) and leaves empty slots there (screenshot too)

 

[Anachron]

Yes, I know that. It's a fail model edit.
I already asked some guys to fix it.

It's not my fault.

and another thing: when i pick up all items and then go into inventory, it merges the potions upon opening (they take several slots for a very short moment) and leaves empty slots there (screenshot too)

Yes, there is no way (good) to fix that.

Edit: Well there is, I'll check.

 

[karland90]

yes it seemed to me too that 1)potions take longer to stack than before 2)UI takes slightly more (time) to display.

i am sure that:
1) this bug has returned (its one of those bugs that only shows on the first time playing the map on 1 w3 runtime - i.e. you cant reproduce the bug when you restart the map, you have to restart w3):

2) i discovered 2 1 new bugs (not that they desperately need fix, but at least you know):
2.1) you can still get information from fsi when you havent opened it i.e when you hover the trackable while inventory is closed, you still see the multiboard + you can see the trackables laying on the ground in the fog. (in case you some1 didnt understand: i didnt open nor close the inventory recently(at least a minute))

2.2) when you have moved your camera target to somewhere near the trackable area, then it doesnt return the camera to the hero.
wait a minute... that isnt a bug, thats a feature... lol sorry nvm this one ^^"

btw have you removed multiplayer atm? (or there never was that and i forgot).
anyway id like to test it in multiplayer (but im too lazy to edit the map myself every time you announce an update, or actually, every time i test the updated version)

Its wc3, not my system.

Yes, that's wanted. Users told me not to force the map boundaries to update.

This is NOT a bug.
But I'll disable multiboard displaying for non-active inventories anyway.

You can easily make it multiplayer, I redid 40% of the CI actually,..

 

[karland90]

Its wc3, not my system.

hmm at least it seemed to me that there was no bug like that at some point...
but i might confuse it to a second (3rd, 4th...) testrun (as this bug only shows at first test).

EDIT:

actually i only meant the paladin spawn. since i just played it in multiplayer, but only p1 red had a unit (and therefore a inventory).

 

[Anachron]

Yes, I only added the paladin for the first player.
Anyway, I will fix this now.

#Update - 0.2.2.1

0.2.2.1

• You can't change inventory stuff during normal gameplay, even when you see it.
• Multiplayer test are available again.

 

[The Reborn Devil]

Aaaaaah, stop making huge systems D:
Can't you just make some neat spells?

 

[Anachron]

Neat != small.

Edit:
Tested again in multiplayer, works without flaws.

 

[karland90]

i tested multiplayer too and sorry, but i cant say without flaws.

as a minor bug: the paladin image-model-thing flickers for all players (when they have their inventories opened ofc) when a player closes or opens his/her inventory. the borders show this tendency too.


as a major bug: when several players (in this case 2) try to pick up same item then one of them gets an item into inventory that doesnt really exist - it shows icon, has no description, can be dropped, cannot be equipped or used.
we didnt plan this bug (timing and targeting), but simply as we picked up the items from the ground at the beginning of the game (not 0.1 seconds after start, normal pick up), we occasionally happened to click the same items. at least on one testrun we kinda rushed to pick up the items. generally we got about an average of 2 cloned items: one player would have the real thing and the other one the clone (which has the flaws mentioned before). when the clone was dropped it couldnt be picked up at first try (by the carrier of real item)* but would vanish on the second pick up (maybe it merged with the real item?).

* i think it might be connected to the former bug of picking up items too fast maybe. it displayed the same error message "cant pick this up you already have this item" or whatever it was .
also when 2 players pick items up at fairly normal pace, then the total sum at which the system registers the pick up event equals to too fast pickup. and thats why it bugs. imo.
call EndWallOfText()

What, how did you manage that?

Hmmm.. I have tested it, and we hadn't such flaws, we even tried picking the same item on the same time.

It's nearly impossible that you can still pickup when you have the item.
Besides, it's not a new bug.

I did not change the general working of the systems.

#Update 0.2.2.2

0.2.2.2

• You shouldn't be able to add one items to two inventories at the same time anymore.
