Inventory with categories?

[Mrbrawnie]

Hi, I searched everywhere I could search for a way to add categories in the inventory but i didn't find anything.
Is there any possible way to do it?If someone knows it would be so great because I really can't find any tutorial on that anywhere.
(I want this for my game because there's way too much items and it would be a lot more simple)

Oh and also I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this so it's okay if it get deleted
(Sorry for my bad English too x) )

Unless you create a custom menu using your own coding and pictures/sprites you CANNOT add categories to the default inventory system.

Okay thanks a lot!
I'll try to find a good tutorial for costume menu

Custom(from scratch) menus can be a bit hard to make. But if it is that important, go for it.

The simplest suggestion I would give would be the use of icons in the item names. Icons or colours, or both. So you give all weapons a sword icon at the start of their names for example.

If you don't have access to the help file with all the message codes, here you go:

\n[n] Shows Hero's Name. The N between [] = the ID of the Hero.
\c[#] Shows a color of text. #=the number of a color. #'s between o-19. Look at the colors on the System 1 set to see which one's which.
\v[#] Shows the amount that a variable has. #= the ID of the variable.
\s[#] Changes the text speed. #=the number of the speed you want. A # 1-20 1 being the Fastest.
\\ Shows the character\
\$ Shows the amount of money held.
\! Displays the remainder of the message when the player presses a key.
\. Adds a 1/4 second delay to the rest of the message.
\| adds a 1 second delay to the rest of the meesage.
\>[]\< Shows the message between [] instantly. (Dont include the [] symbols)
\^ Closes the message window without pressing a key
\_ SHows half a space

That's what I did for items.  I used symbols to represent the type of item.  It's not categories, but it looks nice none the less.  $H is good for potion-like items, $O is good for ailment healers, $D for revivers, $Q for tent-like items, and $r for stat enhancers.  Feel free to try other symbols though!

There is a hacking tool out there that allows you to change the images of the text icons btw. Dunno the name, but it might interest some of yas.

Its either RMrecker or ResHack, don't remember which.  The topic I made with a bunch of links to those programs seems to just have broken links now so just google them.
