News Updates, April/May

It's been a while since there was a general Updates thread, so here goes. We have some much needed and probably very welcome updates today!

*Inventories are now Alphabetized - no more hunting to see what you have.

*You have an inventory counter at the bottom of your Inventory page that shows you how much space you have left.

*Inventories are now stackable! Each different item counts as one, but you can have as many multiples as you'd like.

*Inventories are now upgradable in size! Pending my finishing of the accompanying sprites, the Relics of the Dojo store will soon have new Inventory Size Upgrade items for sale.

You can address your thanks and comments to DP, our master of all things codish and PHP related who pulled off this latest upgrade. Wink

*bows before the master coder*

where would we be without you? (and AL, of course, and anyone else that I'm forgetting that would smite me if I didn't give them the proper thanks)

First of all, smiting is reserved for those who break the rules, secondly, not mentioning something about a new feature is hardly grounds for smiting!

We're not evil ogre Admins, or at least we try not to be. If we are, please smite US! No worshiping, no bowing, though the occasional thanks are appreciated if you feel like mentioning it. Wink

if not, that's okay too.

We work on Blackstar because we want to, not because we have to. :3 We hope you're all here for the same reason, because you want to be here.

Erm, yes, if you're one of the indentured-Pocky-Factory-slave-I MEAN VALUED EMPLOYEES *cough* Then worship might be in order.

or if you're looking to get something from the local deities. Razz

(In Character only, please don't take that statement to mean you'll get anything by worshiping anyone here for real... Shocked

Not only would that be creepy, it would just be plain wrong. )

((I think I've told off Mac for worshiping me...or my character at least))

*Counts down from 3 on her fingers.* Ok...ok, time to go then? Right.

I LOVE YOU BOTH! *Hug tackles both Embri and DP at the same time, somehow.*
The small inventory was annoying me to no end! D<

I know, Raven, me too. It's much better now. :3

UPDATE: As of 10 PM (GMT-5) I'm beginning the final move of the old stock from the original Store MOD to the new Shop MOD -

You may find extra items in your inventory - those would be your previous Store stock, now returned to your possession.

EDIT 11:04 PM: Done. All the old shop stock has been moved over!

UPDATE: I've added my own custom touch, the ITEM RARITY INDEX.

What's that? I could give you the technical definition...but I have yet to figure out how to explain it. Essentially, it's the average rareness of all your items, calculated in real time.

to view it, you can look next to your post if you in Guild Wars - Tree, or you can look up your profile...no, not the one where you edit your info...the one where everyone views the info you edit.

You may also notice a new market indicator in the stock ticker...this is a value used in calculating the rarity index. I thought it would make a handy indicator of economy growth.

*Several Ducks Later*

After realizing how drunk I was, the max is 80%, so yes you could have a negative chance of hitting with something.

*not to be left out of the update frenzy*

Hm, it seems there's a new item in the Relics of the Dojo shop... >.>

Chances are most of us don't need a bigger inventory yet, but if you're one of those dedicated Item Synthers or just a packrat, this box is for you!

Wink

And yes, before you ask, that's only one of twelve Inventory Upgrade items. However, they get much more expensive as you go up, so if you REALLY need a ton of space, you're going to have to fork over some serious cash. Also, each item has to be bought in turn - you can't just skip ahead to the biggest one without buying the items below it. Not a problem at present, since only the first item is up. Razz

I swear to God, Embri, if I have to upload 12 Inventory Upgrades to the Wiki..! Razz

On the other hand, being able to have 1000 items or something like that would be handy, even if it did cost more than 3kul's bank fees.

*Ahem* You mean Goron's bank fees...

Also, think about it Net, do we even have 1000 different items?

Wait, if cardboard boxes are a special inventory-increasing item, what will I use to act like Solid Snake?
