We are excited to announce the Alongside (At Feet) inventory system update! It is now live in Platinum and should go live in Prime in the next day or two.

The PLACE verb has been updated with additional options (the existing usage is still intact). By using PLACE FEET, you can place an item you’re holding alongside you (at your feet). This frees your hand while the item remains in your inventory. It does not put the item on the ground in the room, so it cannot be swiped by the janitor.

The Alongside slot is limited to one item, though it can be a container that's usable as if you were holding or wearing it. Warriors and those casting Call Lightning (at their own peril) may exceed this limit by destroying boxes placed alongside them, as the box contents will also be At Feet instead of spilled onto the ground.

By default, having an item placed alongside you will block you from moving rooms and using BERSERK, though you may DRAG an At Feet item in order to move with it. In addition, all teleportation methods will work, and At Feet items will travel with you.

The INVENTORY and LOOK verbs have been updated to display At Feet items below the worn inventory. Many other verbs have been updated as well, including EMPTY, STOW, and LOOT.

The Alongside slot does not reduce encumbrance or affect the 500-item limit, and it has no impact on disarm mechanics and the RECOVER system.

As always, please BUG or BUGITEM if you encounter issues, especially with item scripts, and be patient while we continue to find and update item scripts as needed.

Cheat sheet:
PLACE FEET [item|RIGHT|LEFT]
INVENTORY ALONGSIDE
EMPTY FEET [item|ALL]
STOW FEET
LOOT FEET

Will a shimmer trinket setup ignore what is ALONGSIDE like it does your hands?

Pretty please say it is so.

Can you add this to the test server please?

Awesome! Been looking forward to this since it was first talked about. :)

Any chance Foldable Chairs are on the list to be updated to be able to be At Feet and still sat on?

It's up to individual script owners. Submitting BUGITEM reports is a good way to alert the right person about specific scripts. No promises though!

"Teleportation methods", to include "drag" mechanics, I hope? Otherwise, I could see this working as a sea-anchor to lock a dead body in the same room... :)

Thanks for adding a new Functional slot with the "leggings" location!

.

Which means that I forgot to ask about the "at feet" location... Can it be Functional? (I'm thinking "a heavy Enhancive that is normally worn," since it is considered in your inventory but is clearly not in-hand.)

When you logoff/quit, because "at feet" is in your inventory, that item is "safe" and comes back--still at your feet--when you log back in again, right?

"Pity." and "Whew!"

Thanks!

>Along with this addition, did it by chance come to pass that "blank line" was inserted between each of the spots shown in "inv location"? Seems to me that it is a lot easier on the eyes now....

Would it be possible to allow alchemy actions (infuse was how I noticed) to allow the cauldron to be "at feet"?

When I tried it I got - "You don't appear to have a prepared cauldron around here."

I used 'alchemy infuse and every combination I could think of without luck.
