Hormalakh Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 I mentioned this to be a bug way back when and the bug list says that they fixed this in v333. Can someone show me how to split my stacks of vegetables or fruits? Obsidian, please make this easier than it currently is. I've tried double-clicking, right clicking, shift clicking....but nothing works. Is there some weird way to do this? My blog is where I'm keeping a record of all of my suggestions and bug mentions. http://hormalakh.blogspot.com/ UPDATED 9/26/2014 My DXdiag: http://hormalakh.blogspot.com/2014/08/beta-begins-v257.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gairnulf Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 (edited) I don't think you can. I tried my best yesterday but I couldn't find a way to do it. Ctrl or alt-clicking doesn't do it either.

Nakia Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 I tried and tried different ways to split food, veggies, fruit and failed. I hope they fix this. I have but one enemy: myself - Drow saying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hormalakh Posted December 1, 2014 Author Share Posted December 1, 2014 (edited) that's weird....i put in a bug report as of v257. and apparently as of v333 it should have been fixed. i'll update the bug report to let them know it's not working.

Guest Matt Sheets Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Right click while holding a stack will let you split the item. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent Winter Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 ^so left click to pick it up then right click to split it? Does just right clicking do something else? (if not, wouldn't it be easier just to use right click straight off the bat?) _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ *Casts Nature's Terror* , *Casts Firebug* , *Casts Rot-Skulls* , *Casts Garden of Life* *Spirit-shifts to cat form* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sensuki Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 (edited) Agreed, who thought of that control Should be double-click like the IE games. I think in this patch Obsidian added double click to equip or something, which I actually find really frustrating because it makes me stuff up moving around items all the time because I click fast.

Gairnulf Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 (edited) Double-click to equip items surprised me and I did it by mistake a few times. I know it's more economical than drag&drop over the character's model, but I was used to that. Also, it works for equippable items, but does nothing for unequippable, which I think is inconsistent and additionally unintuitive for a new player who is having a difficult time telling which items he can equip and which not.

Hormalakh Posted December 2, 2014 Author Share Posted December 2, 2014 (edited) What they can do is ctril click or shift click to move to equip as that isn't as important of an action as splitting items.

morhilane Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Double clicking to equip item is common, it's present in most games I play (although I prefer drag and drop personally). Shift+click is common for splitting items in those games too. Right click while holding stack is really, really weird though. 3 Azarhal, Chanter and Keeper of Truth of the Obsidian Order of Eternity.

I found myself equipping items because of clicking too fast on more than one occasion. A Custom Editor for Deadfire's Data: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lephys Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 This is totally unintuitive.... I wouldn't say totally. For what it's worth, left-clicking uses the thing you're holding (in this case, a stack o' stuff) in interaction with the container/location upon which you're clicking (places the whole item in whatever slot/spot), so it kind of makes sense that a different kind of clicking would still generate an interaction between the "held" item and the inventory slot. Minecraft (and some other games that involve a lot of inventory item interaction... typically because of crafting, etc. -- I think some MMOs do it?) use this same function, wherein right-clicking while holding a stack typically places 1 of the item into that spot at a time, instead of the whole stack. Anywho, I'm not trying to say "You should've just known how to split items! OBVIOUSLY right-click is the item-splitting button!" or anything. But, to be fair, there's not really anything inherently intuitive (or more intuitive) about pressing some other random button on the keyboard while you click. It makes sense to think that pressing ALT or CTRL or SHIFT while clicking would modify my regular click action, as those keys are modifier keys, but nothing but sheer precedent tells me that they will specifically split a stack that I am clicking on. I'm sure the very first game that did that got a lot of "WTF"s for it. "How was I supposed to know that?!" Well, really, ideally, you'd know from a full manual/tutorial/in-game-help-screen, etc. OR, I guess there could be a little "split" button on every item icon. That would be the most visually intuitive. But, there may be a better solution than that... Annnnnnywho. /ramble Should we not start with some Ipelagos, or at least some Greater Ipelagos, before tackling a named Arch Ipelago? 6_u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nakia Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 It was the combination of the two clicks I did not think of. I tried left click which picked up fine. I tried Right click which brought up description fine. Never thought to left click and then while holding the item to right click to split.

wanderon Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Shift left click now moves item to stash - I kind of like that Nomadic Wayfarer of the Obsidian Order Not all those that wander are lost... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
