Looks very promising, but what is meant with multiplayer support? What does it cover?

Multiplayer covers the loot items in the world, dropping and picking up is multiplayer supported. As well is the money and inventory stored on the server.

Sounds great, consider me on your buyers list. ;D

Looks awesome - another quality release! Well done!

Looks really nice. Does it have a player-to-player trade window?

Not at the moment but that is a planned feature that will be coming in the future.

Is the auction house still present? That was actually very important.

Auction house is currently not implemented, but will be coming too. Generally this will be an asset that will receive all of it’s features over time again, for now we’ve added money drops, a few new features and in every way a better UI. But don’t worry, Auction house will be coming when we find time here. We can’t put a time on it as it’s very busy lately here but when we start working on it, we’ll let you know! :slight_smile:

Hello

First thank you for upgrading me to the Economy Kit! It has a slick looking UI and I really like the categories functionality.
Now a few issues for you:

  1. When opening the kit it takes you to the standard empty level template instead of the Demonstration level.
  2. When you try to combine stacks in the Inventory panel using drag/drop it just drops one of the items on the floor. Same thing happens with trying to split stacks. For that matter, anytime you try to move an item to a new inventory slot the items just drop on the floor.
  3. It would be nice if selling to vendors allowed you to specify an amount.
  4. There does not seem to be a way to close the Vendor panel separately from the Inventory panel.

Thanks!

Integration for vendors, items and money actors ->

  1. This is because it’s set to create project, however the kit was meant to be Add to project. We’ve requested this to be changed.
  2. This feature was never implemented, there are stacks but stack splitting wasn’t setup, or stack replacing inside the inventory.
  3. Good idea, we’ll look into it!
  4. Having a vendor open when no inventory is open seems a bit weird, you can go around this if you go into the kit and look where we handle the showing and removing of the inventory/vendor UI.

Notice: We’ve got a bug mentioned on our kit which prevents interaction on other widgets. This will be resolved once we update for 4.18. In the meantime if you experience issues with interacting with widgets properly please do the following.

In the inventory widget -> Canvas Panel > Visibility should = “Self Hit Test Invisible” and not “Visible” (which is what it is now). That way you are able to interact with other widgets while the Inventory Widget is displayed.
