People drop things on stairs and then manually move them to walls, tables, etc.


I have tried to do it myself but found I didn't have the patience for it.


I think you just use the move commands, like /move back 30


But someone who has done it themselves could probably help more.

I've done quite a bit of extensive decorating (shops, aquariums, fireplaces, etc) and I've found that you should even bother without making macros of these commands...

/Movefurniture (forward/back) (1-50)

example: /movefurniture forward 25

The "forward" and "back" is relative to where your character is facing. You can turn at a slight angle to the direction you want to move something in to move it at an angle.

/rotatefurniture (right/left) (1-180)

example: /rotatefurniture right 45

The rotate command is kind of screwed up...the rotate from the radial menu and the rotate from teh command line rotate in different directions. One is relative to the object one is relative to you...I can't remember which.

Create a few examples of these and put them in an empty toolbar.

I have /movefurniture forward 1,2,3,5,10,25 and 50. /rotatefurniture right (and left) 1,3,5,15,30,45 and 90. I don't think there is a need for /movefurniture back since you can just turn around.

It could be just me and too many parties over the years, but...


/rotatefurniture left/right command seems to rotate thing in the opposite direction as the left/right option on the radial menu. Every time I rotate something at an odd angle, I have to think to myself, "I want it to turn right, so left..."


People with one story houses are limited to only raising items about a foot off the floor, which can be done by placing the item in a doorwar and pulling it back out. Not very much height at all, but works decently for some things.

I've heard through the forums recently that you can no longer drop holocrons...is this true? if it is, i have a few i need to sell, because other than as decorations, they are useless to me...


Also, is it possible to get and drop Focused Crystals for decorationif you are not a Jedi? I've seen some of these and they look totally cool

that depends on how you get to holocron. if you looted it, or bought it from another player, you can use it as a decoration. if you recieved it as a mission reward (like from the Sith guy at the ruined Jedi temple on dantooine) then you could never drop it or trade it.

not sure what focused crystals are.


are they the buff crystals you get as village rewards? if you're talking about those cyrstals, yes, you can drop them in a building as decoration.
