Plus you could still just drop all your extra items somewhere if you wanted to stockpile them. You could even drop a bunch before the exit and make trips back and forth to bring them all to the new level.

Yes, 3 options. Agreed.

[quote="Enjay"]As a work around for the moment, if you are making your own levels, you can have a script check the number of items in your inventory as you leave the level, store the values in a global variable and have a script in the next level set your invnetory to whatever it was when you exited the previous level. Kinda clumsy, but it works.

I too would prefer a MAPINFO option. Perhaps 2 options:

HubInventory - to make any level keep the inventory when changing levels.
NonHubInventory - to make the inventory items reduce to 1 even when chaging levels in a hub.


The names could, of course, be better/different, and I don't suppose there will be a great demand for the second option. At least it would be there though.

To cover all cases we'd need 3 options:

1. always reduce the inventory amount to 1 when changing levels
2. only change when moving between different hubs
3. never change the amount

The current handling of reducing the items to 1 when not in a hub and not doing so when in a hub is a bit limited. It should be made completely optional in MAPINFO.

Yes, it's normal. While I didn't like it initially, I think it's good because it gives me an incentive to use my items during the level instead of saving them all for the boss at the end.

When I end a level in heretic and begin a new one the number of items in my inventory is set to one, no matter how many I had. Is this normal, and if not this needs to be fixed.
