(Poll) Satchel storage action text

Post by paprika » #8518

Instead of saying what you put into your satchel/backpack, I think the text should say 'puts something into his backpack/satchel' instead.

Getting busted because you put a box for a loyalty implant in your satchel is kind of bogus and it's especially annoying when pockets are silent. Not sure what everyone else's opinion is on it though, I like that it displays it in text because it is a character action but I'd prefer if it wasn't game over if someone's on screen and you slip something into your backpack/satchel. Don't know what everyone else's opinion is on it though, so I'll make this a poll.

If you're greater than W_Class(-1?) tiles away, you can't tell precisely what it is, only that it is something. Maybe have a special case for antag items?

If something can fit in your pocket, people won't see a message for it if you put it in your backpack unless they are right near you.

Get out bluespace, you've not been relevant since you lost the elections

Actually, it might be "if it can fit in your box."
I believe Giacom said something about it on the old forums.

I think the message that appears depends on the size of the item. Larger items will be shown to everyone and smaller things only if you are right next to someone while putting it in your backpack.
