Storage display boxes: a change for the better

You know how it used to be that when you had stuff in a storage display box (sdb), and then it got emptied, you could never tell what it used to have in it? Well now we show a ghosted display of the item it used to hold*! You can still add any item to it after it has been emptied, but this should help you keep things organized.

Also, when you collect currants from an sdb, the message in chat that tells you how much you collected now also tells you what item the sdb was selling.

* This only works for sdbs that are emptied from here forward, not any currently empty sdbs you might have in your house.

  • Nice. Can we also get a message in the local chat when we purchase stuff from a SDB and how many we purchased and how much we paid? That would be awesome

  • Way to go TS!!!
    Now all we need is a feature that lets you connect SDBs like legos, or something like that. So no more alignment struggles and weird overlapping when you click on them~

  • One of the best updates ever!

    Do the ghostly item versions appear to visitors also or just the SDB owner?

  • Fabulous!

  • TomC, ghostly item versions appear to everyone.

  • Good job TS!
    @Elly Phant, ghost art was the first thing that I thought too when seeing this update.

  • this isn't a change for the better for a messy/disorganised type like me, who doesn't care where things go... now it's harder to tell if something is empty.

    is there any way to get rid of the ghost? it doesn't disappear if I drag it to my inventory and back out again

    (I appreciate I'm probably a lone fan of chaos amongst a load of excessively organised types, it's no biggy)

  • This must have been added the same time I bugged it lol duhh :P

  • it doesn't disappear if I drag it to my inventory and back out again

    Hmm. Seems to me there should be some way to "reset" so there's no ghost image.

    Anyone know what happens if you give or trade it to another player?  
    Posted 92 days ago by Splendora Subscriber! | Permalink
  • YAY!

    My idea came into the game! :D
    Thanks TS for bringing it in the game & thanks everyone for the +1 :D

    (of course.. there might have been others who had the same idea)

  • Just tested and the ghost Image does stay if given to another player.

    TY TY TY, this is awesome!

  • Just tested and the ghost Image does stay if given to another player.

    OK, before they change this, someone please hurry up and make me an SDB with a ghost image of a yeti doll (not that fake import, though -- I want the ghost of the real thing). And an SB-1 music box too :)

  • I've got a ghost (real) yeti SDB for sale in my tower now for 500 currants. :)

  • I Like this!
    Posted 92 days ago by Glondor Glitch Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Thank you Justin Diagle! I will treasure the ghost of your yeti for as long as it stays with me.

  • Perfect! This is exactly what I needed and will eliminate my wishy-washy price guessing every time I refill (sorry, bargain hunters!).

    And I love the idea of the hologram rares! This could be very handy indeed for future decorating.

  • Not sure if it's part of the test rendering...but my empty SDBs aren't really a ghost image...it looks exactly like something is still in them.  I keep trying to sell things in them because it looks real.
    Posted 92 days ago by Hell's Fury Subscriber! | Permalink
  • @Splendora Enjoy!

    @Hell's Fury I think it is. All my ghost SDB's looked ghastly before the test began, and now they look like they actually have the item in them.
    Posted 92 days ago by Jus​tin Subscriber! | Permalink
  • That's good to know.
    Posted 92 days ago by Hell's Fury Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I would also like the option of removing the ghost image: I accidentally put something in an SDB that was for decoration only, and needs to appear empty.
    Posted 92 days ago by Shepherdmoon Subscriber! | Permalink
  • This is wonderful!!!  I am forever wondering what I have sold!
    Posted 92 days ago by Cabinwood Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Awesome! I was thinking I had to keep a sticky note diagram of my SDBs on my desk, but now I don't! This is awesome for us old people who forget things easily.

    Thanks TS!! xoxo

  • any way to tell who bought the item out of it?
    Posted 92 days ago by IxÆoN Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Sweet sweetness!  Thanks so much for this update!  Great stuff!

    BTW, thanks so much for the tower floor labeling too (could have sworn there was a thread on this, but I must be blind tonight after a long day at work...so I figured I'd comment on it here).  You folks continue to make the game better and better.... (ETA - 50min later, and duh just saw the tower thread...of course on the front page...)

  • This is an absolute time saver:) No more scratching my head trying to figure out what just sold out.
    Thank you for listening TS. Great job again:)
    Posted 92 days ago by Jeasilver Subscriber! | Permalink
  • wow thank you!
    if we replace it with same would be nice if it would go back to being sold for same amount without having to go through the set price dialog
