Well, I got the actual slot stuff set in the SoF code last night to allow items set as slot 22 to show up as Power Source in SoF and items with Slot 21 to show up as Ammo like they currently do.
I did a DB check last night on my items table and it looks like they didn't add any new ammo slot items since SoF, because I didn't see anything set to use slot 22 at all. Maybe a fresh PEQ DB would show differently, but I think the last update I did on mine should have included them if there were any.
Basically, this means that only the Power Source items would have to be changed over to use slot 22 to work with the new slot arrangements. I tested it last night and setting them to slot 22 does make them equipable in the latest SVN, so it should be ready for a database change now. I don't think the change is as simple as a single query though, because both Ammo and Power Source items currently in the Database use slot 21. So, I think they have to be changed by hand. I used Navicat last night and sorted my items table by slot and was able to manually change all of the Power Sources from slot 21 to slot 22 very quickly with just copy and paste. There were only 50 or so of them and they were all right next to each other.
I would not advise for anyone to actually put an item into the Power Source slot right now unless they are testing it, because it will definitely delete the item after you do so. This is because I don't have the extra code in place to support the new inventory slot yet, but I will try to work on that further tonight. It will have to be added to be able to save to the database, and to be usable as a clicky if it has a click effect. Also, I noticed that if you set stats on a Power Source item, the client will definitely gain those stats, which means that I will need to add that slot in to calculate the bonuses from it so that the server factors them in properly. That's pretty cool, because I was not aware that Power Sources could actually give stats to the client directly. So, not only could the item be used for an extra clicky slot, but it could also be used for any other stat and probably even worn and focus effects, which is nice.
