"Better" Item making

Item making would be so much easier if it was just like this. :)
Don't you agree?

If you mean the paperdolling… I agree over a hundred fucking percent, to the degree of a need for swearing. Or maybe I should put feverishly...

but, yes. I hate the current system, it has a limit and everything, and I don't understand how it works D: ...

It does look extremely easy. Icon>up>down>right>left. Instead of Icon(somewhere else)up>down>right>left

Yeah back in the day I was discussing this with Pickle but it never went anywhere.

I do agree.
I'm all for the simplicity. But taking the time to re-program something that's unneeded could take some time.

It certainly wouldn't be too hard to make. The current system isn't as hard as it seems, though. Square one corresponds to row one, square two is row two, etc. I have no idea why it was made that way, though. It seems like it'd be easier to make it like the above, anyway.

I'll look into it… Need to find out where it is first, though? D:

Edit;

This is part of it, right? Can anybody... **decode**, it? I'm not familiar with a number of these commands.

```
      ' PLAYER 32 X 64 BLIT LEGS
                If Player(MyIndex).legs > 0 Then
                    rec.Top = Item(Player(MyIndex).legs).Pic * 64 + PIC_Y
                    rec.Bottom = rec.Top + PIC_Y
                    Call DD_BackBuffer.BltFast(X, y, DD_ItemSurf, rec, DDBLTFAST_WAIT Or DDBLTFAST_SRCCOLORKEY)
                End If

```

Doesn't make sense.

Oh that's better.

It checks if the player is wearing anything on their legs, if so, it renders it below the player, not sure about DD_BackBuffer though.

DirectDraw_Something.

Also, wrong peice of code then, I guess. Ah well.

[balliztik1]

Well, I could do this, but I don't currently have VB6 on this computer. If someone could send me the module, or get with me over MSN, we could probably do a team edit and test.

bummer i suck too much at coding, i really wonder why they didn't do the item system like that in the first place, complicates things and the limit is a pain in the butt
