TUCK, UNTUCK, and Leggings 12/03/2021 12:50 PM CST
We are excited to announce two new verbs, TUCK and UNTUCK, as well as the new Leggings worn inventory slot! All three updates are live in Platinum and Test and should go live in Prime this weekend.

The Leggings slot is in addition to the two existing leg slots (pants and leg greaves), and all three can be used simultaneously. You don’t need to fuss with removing pants and greaves before wearing leggings or vice versa. Only one Leggings item can be worn at a time, but it can be functional. The Leggings slot is currently restricted to these nouns: leggings, stockings, petticoat(s), underskirt(s), and hosen.

The TUCK verb has specific functionality for held and worn items, as well as roleplay messaging for other situations. For worn items, it attempts to “hide” an item beneath another worn item so others won’t see it when LOOKing at you. With the exception of pinworn items, in order to tuck an item, you must be wearing something in a different location that the item can be tucked under. Not all worn location combinations are eligible (see chart below).

Tucked items don’t go anywhere, and you can still interact with them normally. When using INVENTORY, a “(tucked)” label will appear next to the item’s description.

When used on a held item, TUCK’s default ability is to toggle an item property. Outside of item scripts, this verb currently supports toggling the worn location of Legs (pants) and Leggings garments. This is a two-way toggle, so you can freely switch back and forth. Any Leggings item can be toggled to the pants slot, and pants items with a permitted Leggings noun can be toggled to the Leggings slot. Nothing changes with the noun. The pants-worn garment must already have a permitted Leggings noun. Support for additional default toggles may be added in the future.

Examples:

>wear shield
You sling an imflass shield over your shoulder.

>tuck shield
You tuck your imflass shield underneath your large cloak.

>inv
You are wearing an imflass shield (tucked), some leather slippers, a large cloak, a decorative pin (tucked)...


>remove leg
Removing your canvas trousers for a moment, you slip out of some cotton leggings.

>tuck leg
You arrange your cotton leggings to be pulled on over your legs.

>tuck leg
You arrange your cotton leggings for your legs to slip into.


Using UNTUCK on a tucked item will, you guessed it, untuck the item so others can see it using LOOK.


Given the complexity of items in the game, some items/nouns may seem odd for certain combinations. We didn’t want to add more layers of validation and restriction, so try to exercise some latitude. However, you may BUG/BUGITEM particularly strange situations for us to review.

Current eligible combinations:

This is awesome, and I can't wait to see it in action.

Question, though: Will the bowl in the clothiers be adjusted to fix these nouns to the leggings inventory spot?

Once this goes live in Prime, are existing eligible nouns able to be changed over just by 'tuck'ing them the first time?
(Assuming that I have some leggings or stockings or whatnot.)

And of course, the GSWiki page needs to be updated with both new locations.

I'm not sure I'm following your question. If you have a pants-worn item with a permitted Leggings noun, you can freely toggle it between the pants and new Leggings slot. For pants-worn items that don't have a permitted noun, you can try to have a merchant alter the noun so it can be toggled.

To clarify, nouns do not change when toggling garments between Legs (pants) and Leggings. A pants-worn item must already have a permitted Leggings noun to be toggled.

Also, toggling is not one way. You can freely toggle both ways.

Good answers, Naiken!

My question was "if the noun we have now is one that is legal for the toggle, will it work?" (Immediately when released into Prime.) And your answers clarify that admirably.

Good to hear that it is a TOGGLE, and not a one-way decision. :)

Can you add "bloomers" to this list as they were sold OTS a while back ago?

Well, damn: there's another account name I haven't seen for a long while!

Good to see you, Alixi!

As far as I'm aware, bloomers are not permitted.

Suggestion re: TUCK, UNTUCK 12/08/2021 07:21 PM CST
I love having the TUCK ability to change the worn slot for legworn nouns. Is there any way we could also have that option for some front/chest worn nouns? For example, I have a ton of pin and chest-worn corsets that I'd love to be able to layer over chest-worn blouses/gowns, but they don't work with layered clothing because they're pinworn from a time when most things were sold as pinworn so as not to conflict with armor when worn. If items with a noun similar to "corset" could be toggled to front worn it would be awesome and much more versatile and in line with how layered clothing now works. (And I could see bodices, harnesses, yokes, aprons, overgowns, cinctures also working the same way.)
