Delay when using objects is too low

[phobos2077]

When you click Use action on an object, dude starts "magic hands" animation and in-between the animation sequence the inventory popup is shown. After popop is closed, animation continues.

Desired behavior:

• Only show popup after the animation has been fully played.
• This should apply to all similar actions, like use, _use_skillon, etc.

It realy annoying when you have to watch all this animation in the game. Especially when dude holding a rifle. In this case player need to watch every time how dude is hiding a rifle, and only then "magic hands". If you play too long and need to check many containers, it start to really annoying. Can we add "show_inventory_animation" to a setting file to skip all these animations?

This is a good proposition! A number of small settings that will make gameplay faster will really be appreciated by both testers and players. Other things to consider for this:

• Fade in/out multiplier.
• Speed of panel sliding animation in critter interaction.
• Combat begin/end animation.

Sfall also had an option to speed-up the whole game...

PS: this is not related to the issue though. We need to make it work like the original first.

After studying the code, it turns out that current implementation actually uses an action frame from original FRM files - frame number at which the action should occur. Strangely, in original game, objects are used only after animation is completed. Looks like the action frame information was only used in some places.
