In Response to Clonkonaut
To keep everyone posted:
Yesterday evening I experimented with showing the quick switch slot item on the clonk. Because I liked the look back when there were two items on the clonk. Kind of. I didn't like that the clonk carried two things in its hands. When you want to use an axe and carry a hammer around, you probably don't take the axe in one hand and the hammer in the other.
Anyway, I will experiment further. Right now, I am changing all the GetCarryMode (or GetCarry*) callbacks to include the slot the item is in (active slot / quick switch slot). Items can then return two different carry modes. Looks already with the shovel, carried in hand when active, carried on back when inactive. I will try if stuff like 'carry on hips' works and looks nice.
In order to do this, I will 'degeneralise' Library_Inventory. Right now, it still got all the remnants of the previous, two-handed control style. I changed GetHandItem to either return the active slot or the quick switch slot. But if you prefer, I will do this in the clonk's script instead in order to keep Library_Inventory as it is, i.e. ready to reactive two-handed controls. Feel free to state your opinion!
