20071026 Better Organized Inventory

Suggestion type View Layout

Suggestion scope Survivors/Zombies

Suggestion description

Current inventory layout (for players and zombies) shows all items in one jumbled mess.

The idea is to separate and condense the information to save time for players when they want to reorganize their inventory. Weapons would all go under one area, ammo in another, and everything else in a "miscellaneous" area. Below is a brief layout for visual recognition.

-=Weapons=-
Pistol (0-6 shots)
Pistol (0-6)
Shotgun (0-2)
Fire Axe
Ski Pole
Crowbar
(etc. downward without stacking)

-=Ammo=-
Pistol Clip(s) - X (X represents the number of clips)
Shotgun Shell(s) - X (X represents the number of shells)
(etc. if other guns are added)

-=Miscellaneous=-
Flak Vest
Fuel
Generator
Radio
(etc. any item not used in combat)

The point of this layout would be to better organize player inventories so there isn't as much "clutter" and disorganization on the players window.

Keep Votes

1. Not a dupe - The dupe links are different from this.Studoku 13:15, 26 October 2007 (BST)
2. Keep - It may be a zombie apocalypse, but some people will still be obsesive-compulsive about their (insert how you believe you carry your inventory). Antitribu 14:08, 26 October 2007 (BST)
3. Keep I agree with the gist of it. I don't really care if someone suggested this a million years ago, this is necessary. Don't think each item should have its own line though since that make scrolling down a pain, but seperation by category makes sense. How about weapons/ammo (Combat), medical/medical (Science), machinery/fuel/tools (Technology), and miscellaneous? Also, alphabetizing within each category would help. --Jon Pyre 14:40, 26 October 2007 (BST)
4. Keep - Helpful. Greasemonkey isn't a reason not to improve the actual site. Something being a dupe or similar to one is also not a reason not to reconsider old ideas. --Pgunn 15:38, 26 October 2007 (BST)
5. Keep - Not everyone uses firefox, and among those that do, not everyone knows how to use greasemonkey. --MrCoolantSpray 00:01, 27 October 2007 (BST)
6. n00bz - You know, we don't all have firefox extentions, and some of us can't get them(library, school computer). Also, not a dupe. Looked, similar, not a dupe. One was almost a dupe, but this is far more specific. However, the medical-goes-under-other is a good point. put medical above ammo, below weaps, and add "similar suggestions". BoboTalkClown 03:09, 27 October 2007 (BST)
7. Keep - The more organized the inventory is the better. I have firefox on my one computer, but, occansionally, I have to use another and I hate how disorganized the regular inventory is. --Sonofagun18 05:29, 27 October 2007 (BST)

Kill Votes

1. Kill - WTF is this? A trenchy buff? Not a mention of the most important survivor resources, FAK's and syringes. I'm assuming they come under "miscellaneous", way down the bottom. Lame, even ski poles get a mention >:) -- boxy • talk • 14:20 26 October 2007 (BST)
2. As Boxy, also I might have considered voting keep if it had been possible to set the order in which things appeared, say I could set the guns to be at the bottom while the category that includes FAKs and Syringes was at the top. - Whitehouse 15:06, 26 October 2007 (BST)
   • Just going to add that there is a greasemonkey script that does it in a very nice style, image. - Whitehouse 15:26, 26 October 2007 (BST)
3. Kill - I'd also like to see a column for medical items, and there are several add-ons, like what Whitehouse listed above, that are available to organize items. --^T 15:45, 26 October 2007 (BST)
4. Kill - as boxy --~~~~ [talk] 19:33, 26 October 2007 (BST)
5. Kill - as Dukey Poos. --Funt Solo 19:58, 26 October 2007 (BST)
6. Kill - Not a dupe, but you totally forgot about the other 50% of the game.--Labine50 ^{MEMS | MHG} 01:12, 27 October 2007 (BST)
7. Change -First, you forgot about 50% of the total items in the game and 99% of the useful ones. Also, would this make the inventory take up more space top-to-bottom? Have the sections extend left-to-right so it still fits on the page, at least as often as it does now. --AlexanderRM 01:45, 27 October 2007 (BST)

Spam/Dupe Votes

1. Dupe I'm afraid. of these--Seventythree^Talk 10:12, 26 October 2007 (BST)
2. Dupe As Seventythree--Pavluk ^{A! E!} 10:19, 26 October 2007 (BST)
3. Dupe - But I'm not sure of the validity of that link. Thanks Funt, it most definitely is a dupe of this, also this sorta. They all serve the same purpose, sorting inventory in a more user friendly and easy access way, at least the second link I use gives you the ability to opt out.--Karek^maps?! 14:24, 26 October 2007 (BST)
4. Dupe/Spam - Karek gives two links, and Seventythree gives one. Regardless of the validity of the links, that is three previous suggestions about the same bloody topic --Ryiis 14:44, 26 October 2007 (BST)
5. Dupetastic ‬‮Dupetastic ‭‬‭ ᚱᛁᚹᛖᚾᚨᚾᛏ 16:42, 26 October 2007 (BST)
6. Dupe - You know what'd be nice? If we could organize our inventories. --  AHLGTG THE END IS NIGH! 18:57, 26 October 2007 (BST)
7. Dupe- As above. If you want organized inventory, try the Greasemonkey script. --Vkkhamul^{T! A! FU! U} 01:03, 27 October 2007 (BST)
8. Dupe/Spam - As all above in both spam and kill sections. --The Grimch ^{U! E! WAT!} 11:35, 27 October 2007 (BST)
