What should I do?

All right I have a big problem, I am updating InvX, what I can say about InvX is that the objectives were mostly socketed items and extra slots. The equipment system is simply bad in InvX as in unfriendly with users.

No matter how much tool tips I added it is still unfriendly.

I tried to change it but figured out that doing so would be hard, the current implementation of the equipment system is the only way it could get along with the rest.

So I decided to trash the equipment system (as in stop promoting it in the demo map), but should I leave the equipment code as an option to use? I want to know if people actually care about that system, also there are like 2 other inventory systems that handle equip well so I think I can gonna focus on the rest of the features and forget equipment and not even leaving the option to use it?

Blade.dk	Well, InvX adds bonuses when the items are in the normal backpack anyways (unless I remember very wrong), so the equipment part was never very important in InvX, in my eyes. If it is possible to let it stay without too much trouble, that would probably be best, but else it is not really the feature I would miss the most.

Vexorian	well equipment is more like don't use more than 1 helmet you moron! That's mostly its use. It also allowed level/stats/class restrictions and things like that. If it stays it is gonna use some kilobytes

Hmm. I've never tried InvX.

Let me take a look at it and I'll try to see what it needs.

Note that my attempt will end in failure, and I'll come back here saying.

Yeah. It looks nice.

>_>

EDIT: Okay. From my first look at the system, in total it is very cool. The equipment system just doesnt seem like the focuse of InvX as a whole. But I'm really not sure that its that difficult to impliment.

JASS:

 * Is there anything left to say?

     Equipment is not this system's main objective/feature, there should be a more speciallized
 system for equipment out there that may be better than this, go find it for example DT4A or
 something like that you know the system by weaaddar.

Vexorian	never said it is difficult to implement, it is difficult to use. (for the player)

st33m	Again, look at the quote from the FAQ. You say yourself there are better systems for it than yours. I dunno, maybe everyone just uses those.
