gem bag

Post by Eltsac » Thu Nov 11, 2010 6:36 pm

a gem bag embroidered with a gold nugget (i13668) is worn on the belt, but can't be worn with anything else.

It should be able to be worn on all different layers of the belt separately, but not on all three all together.

I made it wearable on the belt layer closest to the skin. I don't think there is an option to make it wearable in any layer:

That might be a nice hard code enhancement to ask for, though? What do the builder people think?

There used to be three layers, but I believe armor layer of the belt has since disappeared with one of the copyovers. It would be cool, however, for many bags (all items?) that can be worn "on belt" to be able to do so interchangeably. I think all spell pouches are now 'loose' layer which means you can only wear one.

Yes, it would be great to be able to set a choice or different possible layers rather than limit to one.
Especially for the belt where ICly there is no reason a bag could only be worn on the left or right... It's a pain for now to find the right item (spellpouch / scabbard / bag / purse...) with the right layer to have the combination you want.

Selveem: The issue is not that a wear location was removed. Most scabbards or sheaths, for example, are worn on the armor layer. The issue most likely is the adjustment in armor code. Remember when anything leather or heavier became LAYER_ARMOR? Like cloaks, tunics, saddle blankets, etc.

The same thing has probably happened with belt items. The material of the pouches and such used to not matter and so builders would make them whatever material and the global code change probably saw that and adjusted wear locations accordingly. You should still be able to wear all three belt locations (although I will make a few dummy items and test this accordingly later). I'll post my findings here and then we can develop a course of action, but the most likely one is for me to ask you all to post in my layer change thread about items with issues and I will look into them.

Items cannot have more than one layer.

Harroghty, if you get this in time to save you the effort:
Raona has a scabbard she wears on a belt, in the middle layer, and she recently bit it...and was able to put it back on again. So there remain three layers in which items can be placed on a belt. (As others observe above, however, it becomes something of a crazy gambit to find a combination of three such items.) Spellpouches make sense as having to be in an outer layer (you don't have time to dig down to your skivvies to get that eye of newt for your spell), but putting one pouch on the right and one on the left should be a workable option, if they are not too huge.

For Selveem and others:
