persistant storage bins

Is there any chance that us crafters can buy a storage bin in the trades hall?
not having much strength I can't carry much which makes it hard to craft some things in any number and hold stuff for other players to collect.

Heres hoping
cheers

Not until we introduce persistent containers.

How will they work?

Wont they be reset to zero when a server crashes?

No... because they're persistent.

You know I'm a dumb foreigner... What does that mean?

Persistent.

If you are persistent, you dont give up.

If something is persistent, it wont go away.

So, a persistent storage bin, in NWN, would be a chest or similar that you can put items in & when the server reloads, you can log back in , look in the chest, and your stuff is still there. - the items have persisted through the server reset.

The items are persistently in the chest.

They persist.

I guess...

For what it's worth - The way I've seen this work on another server is this: There's a chest...

When you open it, no one else can access it... When you leave something in it, those items will be there when you return regardless of duration of days passed or server crashes because those items are logged into a database on the server side.

If someone else comes up to that same chest after you put something in and they open it, they will only see items They put in there previously... if they never put anything in there, they see an empty chest.

How persistent chests will be implemented I have no idea, but that's how I've seen it work before.

And a big Mega Ditto for the need to have those suckers in the trade hall (so I can lose the new on entry error: too many items tag I've picked up) when possible.

Still Nobby "Lord of the On Entry Error" Underfoot, I see.

It is nice to know that in this strange and ever-changing little fantasy world of ours, some things DO stay the same.

I know D2, the chest... I didn't know how the chest would work on a server that crashes from time to time, now I know and I'm greatful for it.

Heh I said something similar in the DM channel when he entered the mod at one point..
"Oh look it's Lord Nobby "Too Many Instructions" Underfoot"

Though to be fair, he's not the only one.

Is there an update on this? What is the latest news? I badly need a chest! And indeed, one in the Trade Halls

I also like a new doorway opposing the right turn to the smithing department, right into the jewelers area because all that walking back and forth is bothersome.

This would make the NWN gaming expeience som much better on Dasaria, in my opinion that is. To be able to sotre things would be great, for trad skill related things it would be a god send ( or a GM send

)

I know it'd be nice to save up and get 12 malar bags or so

For mining, it helps to be able to shapeshift. Some forms can carry 5000lbs or more
