ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

New users tend to get confused by the weapon swaps and the shortcuts for it. I'd suggest then those few tweaks to make it less of an issue :
- no class starts with weapons in the swap except TW which have that special feature for
- instead the extra equipment will be just there in their inventory
- disable the keyboard shortcut swap button if the offhand isn't equiped

Those small tweaks will prevent the new players confusion cases of :
- why is my archer/rogue suddntly using a crappy sling, instead of my shiny artefact bow/daggers/other
- where is my weapon? why am I doing no damage at all?

Would there be any objections here? Some cases those changes would be detrimental for?

I'm not seeing a downside to this.

if you are in inventory and looking at your offhand, you character will not switch to offhand unless you close the window on the offhand.
or unless you equip something.

Careful with that equip thing though, it'd cause you to spend two turns at once, one for the switch and one for the equip change.

then maybe you can't equip something else, if you are looking at the unequipped set.? or give a warning.

also, stun, this is idea section, not addon section.

Who said anything about addons?

i am sorry, apparently cant read
"I'm not seeing a downside to this."
"I'm not seeing a download to this."
my bad

semi-related to this, the ability to drag-swap between hands might be good. sometimes, trying to replace a weapon with one in inventory, it goes in the wrong place and I have to move things in and out of a packed inventory to get them where I want them instead of just being able to drag it from one hand to another (I have 4) or to telekinetic grasp.

I actually think this would be fantastic. The same things have bothered me before, in fact.

I'd implement it, but I have a lot of ToME stuff on my plate! Still, this has been duly noted.

Hmm, I haven't tested Enhanced Wield Replace with whatever addon you're using to get four arms, but it sounds like it might address the problem.
