This section discusses improvements to the left side of the inventory pop-up window. This left side view is recommended to be the same regardless of the outside conditions being interacted with at the time of its use. Across the top are titles for each column.
Now instead of just a column on each side of the inventory item description, there are four columns. The left side is the outside world of items found or dropped by our in-game character. The items are picked up and moved into the new transfer slot which is like holding the item in your hands before placing it in your pockets or in your backpack. From the transfer slot, the item can then be moved into the On-hand inventory or into the backpack. As mentioned before, the transfer slot can not carry an item indefinitely. An item left in the transfer slot when the gear window is closed is dropped on the ground. At the top of the Transfer column is a number with a color back ground. The Transfer column will only hold two items and the background color at the top will be red if one or two items are present. When the count within the transfer column is zero, the background will be green.
Currently, added items to a full backpack results in a loss of the item forever. It simply disappears. In order to be able to see the backpack capacity status, there have been three designated areas added. One was discussed in the inventory management section was the number status over the top of the backpack icon. The other two additions are on this “Moving Items” image. In the top right corner of the image over the backpack column is the numeric status and to the right of the backpack description.
Another feature added is the “Tutorial Video.” When a new item is found and brought into the character’s inventory, there is the option to play a video at the time of discovery or later on in safer conditions. The interactive button, when pressed, will turn the whole gear window into a youtube-like video window within the game. The in-game player can then learn how to use the matches or other item found.
