Here we go:

Spell list editing.

Instead of three spell lists being already there for heroes, I'd like to see
(pick spell list). And, of course, there'd have to be edit spell lists in the custom. Finally, plotscripting commands (add spell list (hero, list, slot), remove spell list (hero, slot), find spell list (slot), hero has spell list (list), etc.).

I apologize if I revived this thread, but I felt I just HAD to get these ideas up.

when making a shop and editing the items in the shop. there is the ability to have the shop item tradeable with an inventory item, but you can pick only 1 inventory item thats tradeable with it.

idea 1: there should be more than just 1 item you could pick for trading.
this would be a useful thing for alchemy.

example - you need an eye of newt and a rose petal to make the hp potion

idea 2: if there could be a list of items and you could check off which items would be tradeable with the item in the shop. this could be used for bartering with the shop owner.

example - you can trade either the apple or the orange for the banana

How about in the 'choice' sub menu for text boxes, you have an option to turn on/off X tag if one is selected, OR you can choose which text box is next for each text box. That would just make it a heck of a lot easier for conversations that you want to have choices for, but you don't want to make a tag for every yes/no question.

You can turn tags off with choices, Squall. Then just link it to the "tag-off" textbox, and put an "if tago on" link on that textbox.
It's really not that hard.

Except in certain circumstances, you really only need one tag for choices. It took me a while to realize, but now I just have one generic tag I call Choice which is only ever used for textbox choices. Having the chioce pick a "next" thing to do would be simpler, I suppose.

[Squall]

I phrased that idiotically. What I meant by

[msw188]

How about in custom in the map data mode, where you can change tiles and place npcs and things, having a way to skip to a specific tile? Something like you push 'T' and then custom asks you which tile you want, you enter the X and Y numbers of the tile, and then it starts you there? This would make it easier to deal with really big maps.

[Aethereal]

That's a nice idea, but until then use ALT to scroll around faster and TAB to bring up the "viewer".

Actually, if the scrolling speed were increased, that would also be good.

I have never noticed a change in speed when holding ALT in that menu.

The best way to mess with the speed seems to be running with VDMS, minimizing, then returning.

[Uncommon]

The speed doesn't actually change when you hold ALT, it just moves the screen instead of the cursor.

[Minnek]

Hrm. I like the idea of speeding up the Alt key's scrolling speed, but leaving arrow key scrolling at the normal speed. (Arrow key scrolling being where the cursor reaches the edge of the screen and scrolls from there.)
