Hi, trying out the test realms, so far everything looks really neat and orderly, which is awesome. However, I noticed one thing....


I'm so used to typing 'foc cambrinth' that I automatically go to 'inv cambrinth' but the game thinks i'm trying to 'inventory' and not 'invoke' so I get to constantly see "You can't do that to a cambrinth whatever!" (type INVENTORY HELP for more options).

Having to type the fourth letter is going to take a LOT of getting used to. What I suggest is changing 'inv' on an item to default to 'invoke'. This way I can inv cambrinth, and it'll link to it, but people used to typing 'inv' to see their inventory, could still be able to do so, since without an item specified, it would still default to inventory.



Would it be possible to do this without causing stars to collide, planets to explode, etc. etc.? If so i'd REALLY appreciate it!

I always use INV for inventory and if they change that to INVOKE, then I'd have to type INVE or something for INVENTORY and no... Just no, sorry, but no.

keep your donkeys out of my tea!

>Hi guys! Thanks for not reading my post before replying, but I already offered up how 'inv' being used with no item (Or a 'self >invoke' as it were) would default to inventory. Is it really impossible to not have both things?

I'm guessing that the technical hurdles of keeping these working:

INV - Shows a description of all of the items you are currently wearing
INV CHECK - Get a rough estimation of how many items are in your inventory.
INV LIST - List ALL items in your inventory, similar to reading a vault book.
INV SHOW - Does the same thing as INVENTORY by itself.
INV SLOTS - Gives a summary of your inventory slots, showing how many items you're wearing in each.
INV SLOTS LIST - Lists the names of your inventory slots.
INV [slot] - Shows you which items you are wearing that match this slot.
INV SEARCH [word] - Searches all of your inventory for items that have the word present.
INV [ARMOR | WEAPON | FLUFF | CONTAINER | COMBAT] - Shows you the items of this type that you're wearing.
INV HANDS - Shows you what you have in your hands.

while still allowing you to:

INV <arbitrary item to invoke>

would be extremely significant.

>It also assumes that we'll never have a reason to just type invoke by itself.

Which I believe you can do with bonded weapons? Maybe that's just a 2.0 thing though.

Unfortunately, there is literally no way I can do this. It's technically impossible at this time.
