"Using" inventory items

#1 Post by DasJan » Fri Apr 05, 2002 4:31 am

Not a bug, just a suggestion:<br><br>I would add a hand-icon to the inventory menu. For example if you want to open the nut you have to grab the nut in the inventory, take it out to the world and then use it with yourself again. I think it would be more intuitive to have a hand-icon in the inventory menu with wich you could open the nut directly.<br><br>If it is a lot of work just ignore this post. As I said: Not a real bug.<br><br>Jan <p></p><i></i>

It isn't. In version 3.0 of the game, there is an additional "hand" icon in the inventory that allows you to feel or manipulate objects, although it sometimes has a different effect than using the object on yourself would have.<br><br>Another addition to the inventory is the use of scroll-arrows to prevent the inventory from growing too large for the screen when you collect a lot of objects.<br><br><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://httpd.chello.nl/c.vanempel/Nashh ... <!--EZCODE IMAGE END--> <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://pub57.ezboard.com/broyalquestfor ... py>Erpy</A> at: 4/6/02 4:22:09 pm<br></i>

Is the inventory menu custom-made in v3.0? The AGS default one looks like crap IMO, especially in a game with great graphics like KQ1VGA. <p></p><i></i>

Ummm...I don't know what the default inventory window in AGS looks like, but the inventory of KQ1VGA 3.0 is rather large, orange in color, has small scroll arrows at the right side and a select, eye, hand and OK button.<br><br>I thought the window fit in nicely. I assume the AGD's made it themselves.<br><br><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://httpd.chello.nl/c.vanempel/Nashu ... <!--EZCODE IMAGE END--> <p></p><i></i>

You can download the first version of the German manual at www.dasjan.de/temp/german_manual.zip. On page 38 you can see a shot of the new inventory. <p>Das Jan<br> <br>---<br><a href="http://www.dasjan.de" target="neu">www.dasjan.de</a> | <a href="http://www.adventure-treff.de" target="neu">www.adventure-treff.de</a></p><i></i>
