[edited]A script to improve interface and looting :)

Post by Forest »

A script to improve interface and looting :)
I have created a script which adds the following improvements to this game:
1. Hotkeys for QuickLoad, Load and Save actions :D
2. A hotkey for TakeAll buttons in opened containers :)
3. A hotkey for buying/selling all items from a stack :)
4. Hotkeys for opening barrels/chests (single hotkey for locked/traped)/corpses/other containers: quickload and open (unlock/untrap if needed - proper skill needed!) by pressing only one key! 8)

I use a commercial script engine but it has a light version which is free for use.
I can publish my script here if it is not considered as advertising of the script engine.

What do you think about it?

Amazing! Although, i would be very interested to hear the opinions of those people that "don't care" about people who reroll chests. Becuase, god forbid people play with a system that is more realistic...

I'm never gonna win this arguement apparently...

Not if you port it to other threads where people aren't that willing to talk about it, no offense meant of course. :)

But yeah there has been more than one occasion where I wish I had a quick load button and a take everything option. The other two not so much really, not that I would mind them.

However it might be best if this received the BW seal of approval, not that I forsee him or anyone having major problems with this, but you know, safety first!

Sorry, I am wrong, there is a free light version of that script engine.
So all comers can use this script for free!

Should I publish it?

I can't approve of anything that hacks or alters the game, but if you want to post the script elsewhere and provide a link here, that would be fine.

Sorry, I was wrong, this free light version cannot evaluate my script - full version only :(

Hotkeys are so easy for programming that I was very surprised that so useful hotkeys weren't implemented (I mean points 1-3 from the first post).
