Lockpick nit

Recommended Posts

In the shop, the "lockpick set" image that's displayed when you hover over that item in the inventory lists shows a bent pick and a circle pick.

 

These aren't used in the game.

 

A set has triangle and snake picks in it.

 

Does anyone care if the image is wrong?

 

If so, I can create a new one.

Funny, there used to be four lockpicks and they were the two that were removed. Personally I don't think the shop icon is too obvious but I don't think anyone would complain if you changed it. If you did you might make it a generic group just in case someone devises something different or the other two are brought back into the game. I always supported having four anyway. With just two it is almost always 'the other one' to use after you have used one of them so having to find the right one added to the gameplay and tension. Anyway, I lost that debate. ;)

Picks typically come in some type of case. I'll see if I can come up with an appropriate image and use that.

 

Thanks.

How come you are so knowledgeable about lockpick cases? ;)

 

Ummm, I watch a lot of detective shows????

 

Anyway, try this image:

In real life, this is the case for a Kodak camera, circa 1914. Inherited it from my wife's uncle.

Nice idea but to me it doesn't say lockpicks to me. I'd accept it if others want it but I'd probably try to point the lockpicks away somewhat and blur the ends so its not clear what they are. I'm out of ideas tonight though.

 

Can't find an FM with picks in the shop. I was thinking they might not be that visible anyway. But the shops icons are surprisingly clear and quite big.

All the images use actual inventory models, so any new lockpick image should do the same. I don't see any pressing need to change the current image, myself.

      The FAQ wiki is almost a proper FAQ now. Probably need to spin-off a bunch of the "remedies" for playing older TDM versions into their own article.

      Was checking out old translation packs and decided to fire up TDM 1.07. Rightful Property with sub-20 FPS areas yay! ( same areas run at 180FPS with cranked eye candy on 2.12 )

      i am so euphoric to see new FMs keep coming out and I am keen to try it out in my leisure time, then suddenly my PC is spouting a couple of S.M.A.R.T errors...
      tbf i cannot afford myself to miss my network emulator image file&progress, important ebooks, hyper-v checkpoint & hyper-v export and the precious thief & TDM gamesaves. Don't fall yourself into & lay your hands on crappy SSD

      Does anyone actually use the Normalise button in the Surface inspector? Even after looking at the code I'm not quite sure what it's for.

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!
