An easy way to drop things
I feel the need to make this suggestion now I've eat the new apples, two things currently require me to click lots where I didn't need to before, namely apples and smelters. There should be an easier way to drop items I have one suggested method which expands on current gameplay. If you only have one suitable container open shift-clicking should drop those items on the floor.

I second shift-clicking to do it: I keep instinctively shift-clicking in an attempt to drop things because I'm used to it from Oblivion.

Re: An easy way to drop things
I'm already used to shift clicking for moving something to another inventory window, ctrl clicking could work though. As for apple cores, I think it would be better if they were automatically dropped, as you always could go back and pick them up if you want them.

Re: An easy way to drop things
I ctrl-click now with a AutoHotkey macro:
The sleep number is 300 to make it more responsive, but if the game is lagging it'll fail to drop the item because it doesn't wait long enough. Increasing the sleep time will make it take longer, but will make it work better during lag.
It would be better if there was a drop key integrated into the game, because then lag wouldn't be an issue and the mouse wouldn't be moving around while dropping items and such.
Note: Don't move any windows into the top-left of your screen over your character portrait, HP, etc. That's the area where items are dropped.
Code: Select all
#IfWinActive Haven and Hearth
^LButton::
Click
MouseX = 0
MouseY = 0
MouseGetPos, MouseX, MouseY
Sleep 300
MouseClick, left, 9, 35
Sleep 300
MouseMove, MouseX, MouseY
Sleep 300
Return
It would be better if there was a drop key integrated into the game, because then lag wouldn't be an issue and the mouse wouldn't be moving around while dropping items and such.
Note: Don't move any windows into the top-left of your screen over your character portrait, HP, etc. That's the area where items are dropped.

Ok, I'll get it. How would you set it for middle click does the drop action?Trafalgar wrote:It's for AutoHotkey.
