Sweet! I like it :) And no, Outlook didn't destroy your layout. Probly what I'd do is create 4 or 5 OBJ_DATA vars. Then as you sort through the inventory checking the item_type, use a switch to determine "which" obj_data to store it in.
To get the two columns thing, probly just use a counter and depending on whether it's 1, 2, or 3, will depend on which column it sticks it in. More like whether you tack on a "\n\r" or a "%s" to the buffer. I like the idea and the concept. I'd love to see a working one in action. :) Goodluck on your inventory, Rheede -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Vertigo Sent: Saturday, May 03, 2003 3:39 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Inventory idea... I haven't written to the list in awhile, so alas, "ello" to all of you out there still around and the new faces that have popped up. I'm working on something that's more of a visual thing than anything else. I'm taking the base inventory display (which is quite ugly, mind you) and making it a little more useful. Here's what I'm going for: (I hope Outlook doesn't chop this up too bad) .------Inventory of Vertigo -----------------, | Total Items : 56 of a 58 MAX LOAD | | Weighing : 184lb of a 200lb MAX Load | | Encumberance: 6% | '--------------------------------------------' -= Weapons =- -= Potions =- ( 2) Sword of Vertigas ( 34) Green Potions ( 3) Simple Battle Axe ( 3) Healing Elixers -= Armor =- ( 2) Suit of Grand Plate Armor ( 2) Bracers of Power -= Other, Misc =- Knit bag of carrying Buffalo water skin --- My basic logic is that I just check the item_type for the objects in inventory and then sort it into the varying lists. Or is there more to it that is not popping into my head? Another question is a simple way to get two columns like I have here but with different lists forming the output. Has anyone done anything like this? Any information would be appreciated. Joe Vertigo Realm of Lanera -- ROM mailing list [email protected] http://www.rom.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/rom
