Evolving items revisited

[Uleat]

Don't become too attached to the current way of handling the inventory...

I've spent the last two years digging through just about every aspect of it and am trying to convert it to the new 'location'-based system
from the slot-based it currently uses.

Most of the basic methods and accessors will be changing and it should support all inventory restrictions on a per-client basis.


If you have any questions or issues with the current system, feel free to ask and I'll see if I can't provide a somewhat intelligible answer :P

Brilliant, thanks. Didn't take me too long to find where it's loaded (searched for "from inventory" to find the sql then worked my way up the different calls).

I think I would need to change a fair few things and there would need to be database changes too to support various aspects of the system - for example each item instance has it's own pool of experience that persists between players.

It'll take me quite a bit of time to hash all that out, so you may well have made those changes by the time I start on the code (particularly since I have family staying over for the next few weeks). Regardless, I'll post my ideas before starting the implementation so any dev interested can pitch in. I may well make the odd architectural mistake...
