Inventory scrollbar

Postby gatorades » Wed Feb 11, 2015 12:32 pm

Hello, this could be helpful..
when the inventory start to grow and the window become like the entire screen I can't see where to go,
I don't wanna shut it because I need to craft thinks...
maybe a vertical scroll bar could be a solution, with 4 or 6 top squares in orizontal defaulf.
I hope u guys can understand my bad english...
Thanks

Picking up so much comes at the cost of keeping track of it.

Drag the window around, or drop your items into a container or too and then grab them out again which will reorder them in the smallest space possible.

indeed, I feel that if your inventory is too large to manage, you have nobody to blame but yourself.

Dallane is arguing with me. It's a sign. I must be right.

See quote from dev

With all due respect, I disagree. The quote from the dev reflects the devs view of the things. However, the idea itself was valid, and there is nothing in this sentence that says otherwise. It might be going against the generic direction of the game's ui development, but using scrollbars to manage huge lists and pictures is normal practice in UI design.
