Greetings!
The long-talked about phase II changes to generic item handling
were finally deployed today (active in/from this boot).
What this means in practice is that many new things are now
possible, all of which are documented to some extent in the
'help handling' helpfile. Also, the temporary issue due to
initial changes that broke "armour" and "weapon" keywords
is now fixed once more.
To demonstrate what is now possible, here are few examples
(the generic item handling mostly applies to get/put/drop/give/
keep/and some other commands, but may be extended to others
in future .. in "two weeks" or so.)
Quote:
give unkept scroll to ggr
Quote:
put all kept scroll, all armour except ragged scroll,
red ring,all xxx in rig
(xxx could be a label, for example)
Quote:
get armour (pick one armour type item from ground)
Quote:
get all clothing;put all clothing in x
Quote:
get all item (pick all non-armour/non-weapon things)
Etc etc.
Due to the extensive changes, there may still be issues. Report
issues directly to me (preferably via 'bug' command / batzilla,
unless the issue is VERY urgent.)
In regards to future, the phase III will hopefully unify money
handling with generic item handling, making it possible to
'give gold,pouch,xxx to yyy' which is currently not possible.
