Thread: Some things to mention to the devs on furniture
I am a master architect on starsider who deals exclusively in furniture.I'll List the biggest complaints my customers have. If any one has more to add please do
1 Containers dont hold any thing ie Armoires chest and the like
2 Furniture should be dyeable like clothing
3 Lamps need to provide light not every one likes the safari look
4 more types of shrubs
5 data pads able to relay messages such as a menu for a restraunt or a message for the guild
6 the ability to lie on a bed
7 more people should be able to sit on a couch
8 why do i always slide out of my chair and sit in mid air
9 Machine looking things like the droid detection devise with more lights on them
10 pictures they need some
11 how do i hang things on the wall (we need a move up and down command similar to forward and back)
Well thats the ones i get all the time there are more but those will do for now. The only other big complaint i get and i have some of the cheapest prices on the bazzar is what you expect me to pay 20k to furnish my small house i only paid 3k for it. I laugh every time i get that one.
Thanks i already know this but did you know you can't drag items past certain doorways and arches. I was decorating a PA -hall when i found this one out. The commands would allow you to do this in any house regardless of whether or not it has stairs. Alot of the people buying furniture dont have med. and large house.
Thanks for the info it should help some one looking to hang items
You can put items on against the walls and on top of tables, but only in medium and large houses, or a PA Hall. This is because you need stairs to do it.
Just stand on any stairs and drop an item. When you move the item off the stairs, it will be above ground level. You can then move it against a wall, or on top of a table. Drop the items from different levels on the stair to get items higher or lower.
Also, using the line commands will give you more accuracy when moving items. Target the item and type any of the following:
/move forward # (where # = 1 to 50)
/move back # (where # = 1 to 50)
/rotate right # (where # = 1 to 180)
/rotate left # (where # = 1 to 180)
Some examples of items to put against the walls including guns, swords, and fish (yes, fish you catch in rivers and lakes. They look great on the walls!). Items you can put on top of tables include the lamps, food items, and many other items such as the Neimoidian Birdcage (makes a great centerpiece on a table).
