It has nothing to do with crates and stuff but is it possible to simply attach an attachment to the weapon when clicking on the weapon?

I don't know AIMNAS well enough to tell you whether ammo boxes fit this description. If they are flagged as ammocrates (see Items.XML) then they wouldn't appear on the list.

Since this is no longer necessary with your changes, this option could be completely dropped in HAM now.

The thing is that this feature IS still useful - for quickly creating the magazines for the specific gun held by a merc. With crate-splitting you could create those magazines - but you'd have to check first which magazine size you need by examining the gun (assuming you don't know by heart how many bullets it takes). So this is a good quick way of creating exactly the magazines you need - and not too many of them. Therefore there is still some use to it, though I think there must be a better way to handle it.

Could you just merge the 2 functions you want to have: Clicking a crate on a weapon in merc's inv reloads that weapon and drops X mags (for that gun) in the merc's pockets? (X=5 currently IIRC)

a feature i would like to get item sorting dropping etc more quickly is: a middle mouse button/wheel click on a certain item will drop the item to the sector inventory immediatly. this should work strategic view only. and seeing that nowadays the mousewheel is utilized for aiming and looking it shouldnt be too hard right

While you can't pick up objects from the sector inventory while in the middle of combat, you can still eject ammo from all the weapons, remove attachments, merge ammo into crates, etc. Not exactly game-breaking, but at some point you might consider adding a check first, Headrock.

I just wonder what to do when the weapon already has bullets in it from a different ammotype.

When splitting a crate while it is in the sector inventory, the game makes a list of all magazine items of the same caliber and ammotype that are not themselves ammocrates. I don't know AIMNAS well enough to tell you whether ammo boxes fit this description. If they are flagged as ammocrates (see Items.XML) then they wouldn't appear on the list.

it does list them as magazines in the transformation menu.

I can hardly wait to start making use of the full functionality of the transformation feature.

At the moment, the splitting menu is built automatically, by reading the SIZE of each available magazines and then adding that to the phrase "Split to X-rd Mags", replacing "X". I could, theoretically, print out the NAME of the magazine item itself on each line instead. That may be preferable, though I do think it will probably be uglier or at least more confusing. I'll check to see what it looks like tonight.

Full functionality?

How about some sorting to go with those filters?

Strangely, I couldn't make this happen at all. When combat starts all four buttons are disabled, and I can't use them...

Can you describe the conditions in which you encountered the issue?

Hmmmm maybe it has something to do with the red alert. Is it possible that your IMP was doing it so stealthily that the red alert was never raised?

Fixed a bug (not mine) where item stacks with 128+ items in them would cause an endless loop when trying to sell the entire stack with ALT-SHIFT-CLICK (or, in my case, when displaying the price of the stack). Thanks to Redwolf for spotting this one.

Map Screen Interface Map Inventory.cpp, function SellItem()

At every instance where bLoop is declared, change INT8 to UINT8. Also should change bLoop to ubLoop throughout the function to maintain readability.

Takes 20 seconds.

Not sure if this is working as you had intended or not.

Next, this time do the same thing only hit the "sort ammunition into crates" button.

Finally, when either alt-tabbing out of (or into, I'm not quite sure which) JA2 with the sector inventory open, the ALT key is registered as depressed, until I tap it again to clear it.

A lot of people still use OCTH, smeagol even makes OCTH the default for aimnas and though there is an unoficial NCTH patch for aimnas it is not set up right.

But it completely breaks OCTH, mostly because OCTH is based on range more than anything, NCTH is not.

What i think would replace them is the enemy would get to choose anything from the current coolness level or maybe sometimes one or two coolness levels up or down. I actually think that makes sense anyways, if you can buy it on bobby rays, shouldn't diedranna and her men be able to as well?

I admit i know little about the drop tables, I almost always play with enemy drop all turned on.
