universe wide inventory search (suggestion)

Sep 19, 2008 xXxDSMer link
i looked through the list of things suggested and couldnt find anything that was along these lines...

what i would like to see is a search function, kinda like the search that lets you search the notes you've made for sectors, except with the universe wide inventory search, it would look through all the places that you have inventory at stations, including ships and things equipped on those ships, and loose items laying around.

for excample: if i know i have a orun processor at SOME station SOMEWHERE, but i dont know where its at, i currently have to look through every station that pops up on the inventory list.

with a universe wide inventory search, i could just type in "orun processor core" and it would search all the stations that i have things stashed at, and return results, like when searching notes... it returns a list of the places that have a note with the term you searched for.

this would make it alot easier to find something when its known to be stashed somewhere, and (i dont think) it would be too hard to code, since there's already a search function for the notes. perhaps with a little modification, it could be adapted and added to search universe-wide inventory and make finding that "orun processor core" (lol) alot easier (or anything for that matter, the orun core was a lil joke hehe :) )

You can do this with lua already, I'm sure most of the guild's have this function in their plugins...

I find it annoying that when I am in B8 pvping and start running short on cash, I can't remotely sell my Helio stock up in Serco space. I can select the item, click sell, but an error pops up saying I can't sell it here. This shouldn't be game-breaking, just eliminating travel time to sell ore at the station it is already in. I hope there aren't any exploits, because I really want to be able to do this.

vardonx: if you would care to elaborate, i'm sure it might could bring some light to the situation :)

and what i suggested would simply be a universe wide search.. it would only tell you where to find what you're looking for. and it makes sense that you cant sell something from sedina if its sitting in a base somewhere else. but with a search function to find something (instead of looking through the inventory list at every station that pops up) you would be able to type.. heli for example, and it would return a list of the places you have heli stored at, and you could jus hop on over there and sell some to get some credits up :)

i dont quite have much luck with trying to find things lol

but it is awesome that someone wrote up lua code for that, and i'm about to plug it in and try it out :)

'someone'

I think all functions in lua have been coded by the devs beforehand, with no way to add your own, else they would have problems with things like aimbots.

An aimbot would be possible, but why would anyone bother? It's already included within the game. Check your key bindings if you accidentally lost the one for Autoaim.

I'm just saying.
