Sorry, this was the most appropriate forum I could think of.


My problem is that furniture arangement takes too frickin' long because the commands for placement are so "trial-and-error." Trying to move an objects so that they line up propperly is difficult and tedious on the horizontal plane. The commands in place for the vertical axis are great. They move items dirrectly up or down, but the forward and back commands that are based on character orientation are clumsy and awkward. Better commands would be /moveFurniture north ##, /moveFurniture south ##, /moveFurniture east ##, and /moveFurniture west ##.


If there are already similar commands that I don't know about, by all means, TELL ME! But as it stands, these commands would make much cleaner work of the whole decoration process.

Unfortunately, when it comes to the "Move" command on the radial menu--what you see is what you get. Of Course you can modify those four commands a bit (but not much) by typing "/move forward 10," or "/move up 25."


I agree, it's difficult decorating.Those players who advertise themselves as Interior Decorators will tell you that it takes time and patience to get things to appear as they want them to.

one way to make the decorating easier is to use a... chair. yes, a chair.


point the char, using the rotate commands, and sit in it. no more accidental moving your 'toon. makes decoratin much easier.

I'd love to be able to turn something on its side or upside down.

This is soooo true. I decorate a lot so I have a couple of hotbar panes totally dedicated to decorating macros. For example:

1st four boxes are /move forward 100, /move forward 50, /move forward 10,/move forward 1.
2nd row boxes /move back 100(50/10/1)

my middle boxes top: /rotate right 90(45,22,1)
bottom row: /rotate left 45(22,1,/pickup)

last set of boxes top: /move up 100(50,10,1)
bottom row: /move down 100(50,10,1)

Here's a link to more decorating macros.
Hope this clicky works

Edit: Oops, I almost forgot. It helps to have a general idea of what you want to do and most of your furniture crafted before you start.

I think he meant revolve as in tilt.

Which I sorely miss...

Why, SOELA, why? Did the entire management join a cult, and at the same time perform home lobotomies?
It takes less time to look at the stickies than to ask a question and wait for sarcastic replies. So please oh PLEASE ask the same question many times. I enjoy the sarcastic remarks.
