Shattered Kingdoms

As convenient as it would be, I disagree. It would totally nerf classes that use dirt kick/blindness.

How so?

because it makes so much sense that you can't take off your boots when you're blind, amirite?

Agreed.

On a similar, yet separate note, is there something that can be coded into the shopping system so we can tell where to wear a piece of armor before it is bought. It's not always clear. Syntax: worn <item> Result: <item> may be worn <slots item can be worn>.

I voted yes for this, as I don't think it's a huge deal, BUT

The only reason to argue against this that I can think of is it makes scripting and macro building a little easier, which might be a negative from the administration's point of view.

That said, there are certainly ways around that even today with some creative use of variables and triggers to track what you're wearing.

Macros, scripts, variables, aliases and such are okay as long as they do not automate your work and require human input to work. So, making it possible to "remove <waist>" rather than remove belt, will not be a problem scripting/wise.

Also, it would not nerf dirt kick/blindness as you would only remove an item. Not wear one.

And even so, you can already wear items while blinded/dirt kicked. You just have to know what it is, and can't be like wear waist, as I've stated before.

It is already easy to make a table that stores equipment by slot, which is then called by an alias. Dulrik adding the ability to wear/remove by slot just means people could go straight to the alias w/o the table.

It doesn't require anything creative. Just basic knowledge of lua or ten minutes of research on the net.

This would help especially when you can remove armor by type.

Like if you're holding a waterskin and type 'remove water' and you take your gloves off instead.

Yeah I never meant that you could wear things with this method only remove. Swapping weapons, wands and what not would be so much nicer without having to rely on a faulty brain or outdated alias when stuff hits the fan and your messing with some new piece of eq and need to quickly swap out what you have. I'm sure you could setup your client to do this for you, but for those of us who don't know what were doing this'd be great.
