| >Will this work on main containers that have already been altered, such as altered hitman's backpacks?
Yes. >1. Could this be used on a fae baldric to make it hold more weapons? No - the process is different. Those baldrics are coded to hold a certain amount of items, regardless of their size. This process changes the actual size. >2. Could this be used on furniture voucher to make it hold more items? No. We're working with player-worn containers. >3. Can this be used on an already large container (hitman's, lootsack, etc.) to make it even larger? Yes. >4. Could this be used on an item that is not a container to make it a container? No. >5. Could this be used on a repeating crossbow to make it hold more bolts? No. >Nikpack <3! >Do the containers need to be emptied, or can you work with them already holding stuff? For THIS face-to-face merchant, they do not need to be emptied. That may not remain true in the future, if we think of a different way to handle it. >Would items like a backpack from beta be possible to be embiggened? or items like the tiny pouch from the kantons first run? If I want to embiggen it, I have to know how big it is to begin with and work out a progression chart, and get someone to approve it. So far, I have worked out the numbers for: Kanton's Superbags I'm sure there are other "larger than normal" containers, but I need to look at the actual bag in game to see if it fits one of the above profiles or needs a new workup. PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS IF YOU CAN -- SEE BELOW. >What is the scale of the embiggening? Players tend to measure bags in terms of "How many boxes can I cram into it?" If I work with that guideline... It depends on the bag! Some bags are already ridiculously huge so there's not a lot of room to play with. They can only be made "a little bit" bigger (or, after four zaps, they can fit roughly 5 more treasure boxes). Smaller (or standard) bags have much more wiggle room and may gain space for as many as 8 more boxes. Remember: At this fest, you'll have three embiggenments to spend any which way you choose. I think I have all of the numbers sorted out to make this work in sensible ways, but -- DR is famous for wonkiness and volumes are very weird, so I need help to test some containers and make sure that what I think works actually works. If you have a bag that may not be one of the above profiles or have some time and can come help me test some bags, PLEASE meet me in the Test instance tonight at 9pm ET! I'll be hanging out in front of the bank. If enough people come help and we can get through all of the containers in a reasonable amount of time, I'll be able to adjust anything that seems off. Once the numbers are all tested (and adjusted if need be) I can tell you exactly what each embiggenment will gain on each type of container. I want you all to know exactly what you're getting out of the deal, but need your extra hands to compile that information for you! It's not an easy task. :-) Hope to see you tonight! ~ L | |
