sems Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 It is time consuming and unnecasarily laborious to transfer large amounts of items between inventories. It would be amazing if we could double click an item to have it transfer over to the other inventory, or even being able to ctrl+click multiple items to drag over several things at once. Would just be a MASSIVE quality of life improvement that I'm sure everyone on the server would greatly appreciate. Link to comment
anzati1 Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 been suggested a thousand times, this isnt minecraft, things are meant to be time consuming, its how video games work. why arent shipment cooldowns 5 seconds? theres a reason behind it all ya dig Link to comment
sems Posted August 14 Author Share Posted August 14 I mean... you can't carry 5 guns, 4 oil containers, 2 barrels of meth and 3 outfits on your person in real life either, that's pretty minecrafty. You can't put meth and guns and shit into ATM's in real life either, but somehow it's too unrealistic to transfer those items in and out at a reasonable speed? In addition, shipment times aren't 5 seconds in order to manage the economy and the speed of the grind. Making it so players can transfer items smoothly doesn't have an impact on any actual mechanics of the server, it purely improves player experience and makes things much less clunky on the user-end.

How fast you go already makes it a reasonable speed 1 hour ago, sems said: doesn't have an impact on any actual mechanics of the server, it seems small but dragging items determines outcomes of certain RPs like someone evading police and stashing his gun in his bank those few seconds of transferring and dragging stuff can change everything etc etc blah blah this is just one example just legit use ur brain for 2 seconds to think about it or play the server and youd get it Edited August 14 by Medinator Link to comment

If the issue is that it's meant to take time to transfer items for some nebulous edge case balancing reason, then make it so there is a 0.5 or 1 second timer for each item trasnferred but still implement double-click trasnfer/ctrl-click transfer. That way you can keep the same time requirement, but take out the uneccasary clunky and labourious act of individually click, drag, unclick, click, drag, unclick over and over and over. I guess my question is How would impletmenting this make the server worse? what problems would it cause? if the issue is that it's meant to take time to transfer items, then what would be wrong with a 0.5 sec timer per item while also implementing better trasnferring mechanics? How is the server improved by needing to manually drag each and every individual item? Another issue is that non-American players have this problem even worse. If you have a high ping, it takes even longer for items to trasnfer, and you have to actually wait a second or two for one item to change inventories before you can drag the next. Link to comment
