[Mapping] Two changes to make furnishing more efficient

[jesscatXD]

Short description:

1. Make the /sf menu stay after selling an item you've selected from that menu

2. Add the option to perform multiple Sharp Rotations at once.

 

Detailed description:

 

1. The /sf command is commonly used when mapping because it shows everything in the furniture system with whatever word or phrase was searched up. This often produces a long list of results, where you're looking for a particular item. At present, you need to purchase an item to make them visible. Once you delete the item, you're kicked back out of the mapping system, causing the need to type /sf [words] again. This means that if you don't know the exact item name that you're looking for, you're often in for a long-winded search, consisting of repetitive scrolling through the same /sf menu of search results. A small change which would make this process much less painful is if the /sf menu were to remain once you've sold an item which was selected from that menu. That way, you wouldn't have to re-orient yourself on that same 20-odd page list each time you've selected an item which is not the one you're looking for. To be clear, my complaint is not the need to repetitively type /sf [words], but the difficulty with which you need to re-orient yourself on that long list of search results each time you've sold an item.

Examples: These are the most painstaking /sf searches to do, and as a mapper, I do them often.

 

1. /sf glass has 22 pages of results. Oftentimes, this is needed when looking for a particular type or size of glass.
2. /sf door has 23 pages of results.
3. /sf wall art has 23 pages of results.
4. /sf window has 11 pages of results.
5. /sf light has 19 pages of results.
6. /sf lamp has 9 pages of results.

 

 

2. Sharp Rotations are useful because instead of having to manually rotate, you can flip an item upside down or side-ways while keeping it 'straight'. Mappers often use this function to rotate 'trim' and other decorative pieces, making nice details on walls and creating displays, pillars, etc. Without Sharp Rotations, trim would be basically useless but it's one of the nicest details we see in interiors these days, allowing us to create baseboards, sideboards, crown moldings, pillars, railings and so much more.

If there was an option to perform multiple rotations at once, such as a number selection added to the current Sharp Rotations of X, Y and Z (a clicker you could dial up or down using the right or left arrow keys), it would greatly improve the efficiency of this function. I counted the number of keyboard 'clicks' in order to perform ONE 180 degree rotation in any direction, and it is currently twenty-eight button pushes. That's four sharp rotations, performed as efficiently as possible. It could be reduced to five or six clicks, most of which are navigating the menu, if a number selection (for example, a value of 4 would produce a 180 rotation) was added.

 

 

Commands to add: None; a change to be made to the /sf command, in order to make the search results menu stay, landing back on the same item you've selected and sold from that list.

A change made to the Sharp Rotation Function, adding a number selection on each of the options: X Y and Z.
 

Items to add: None

How would your suggestion improve the server?  These changes would, in my opinion, make the mapping process much less painful.

Additional information:  Added poll.

Supporting. It'd be really helpful if the menu stayed after selling instead of having to pop it up each time.

I support the idea

 

 

ps; why wasn't I aware of the /sf... all this time I've been doing /searchf

Please..... PLEASE!

 

While it only takes a few seconds to enter the command those seconds add up.

 

I support!

I added a new suggestion about Sharp Rotations and updated the current request with examples. I also added a poll: Agree/Disagree
