Vault sorting/filtering

Postby Aieron » Fri Jul 15, 2016 12:53 pm

Being able to sort/filter items by ownership/type would help a lot. :>

Ownership may be a problem. Right now items put in the Vault are available for any characters to withdraw. They are stored by account, not by character ownership. I don't think tagging every item with who deposited it is a good idea. To me, it would be a lot of useless bytes of data that could cause possible conflicts or issues.

By type should be possible and SB items would be a type. Don't know if this is something that could be added easily or will have to wait for Chris to switch some things over. A simple client side filter would require very little coding by allowing a custom filter option. The current client is pretty crude though....

After making several chars and having multiple of yhe same items in a vault it's annoying and I am highly disliking this whole bound to char concept. It sounds good on paper but awful in practice cause it seems like it's gonna be the same overabundance of items unless we have a way to fuse them together to make better items or other viable options.

It's one of the main methods of controlling gold. I've seen one or two items that I can't find a place to sell but otherwise we have a good way of making sure people don't sit on mountains of gold while swapping their best gear between a handful of characters.

I do wish there were a way for the starter gear to be passed around (at least within the same account) and still be SB. It is a pain in the butt to start out a new character and always have a couple enchant scrolls in the vault for them.

Pretty sure this isn't true.

[05:11] This item is soulbound to Zehel and cannot be removed by you!

Unless I'm misunderstanding what you're saying.

The vault items aren't loaded into memory unless needed anyways, so it would be okay to add a value (or several) as it's grabbed real time. However, the sorting aspect can be done client side as long as a tag is added to the item. The tag doesn't even have to be the actual character name, it could be a number, which is based on in what order the name comes in your account player listing. No real data usage there either.

Future stuff though, it's good idear though.
