NANCY: Inventory differences

Description (last modified by tunnelsociety)

Here are save files with a couple items.

  • In the original, picking an item from the inventory does not close the inventory; ScummVM closes it immediately;
  • Clicking an item when an item is already in-hand should just drop the held item, not pick up another one;
  • The entire inventory popup, not only the individual black squares, should be the hitbox for dropping a held item. (We should wildly click in that area to drop an item conveniently instead of needing to carefully target one of the boxes; I found myself often accidentally clicking the brown borders between black boxes, and my item would not drop when I wanted it to.) Effectively, double-clicking the inventory taskbar icon should drop a held item, as the cursor should auto-move into the toolbox and the whole toolbox should be good for dropping the item.
  • Most recently dropped item should be last in the list of items. (Edit: I *might* be wrongly asserting this because I'm only looking at a couple items so far...) With the hat and key in the example save files attached, it should be possible to reorder them; it looks like ScummVM always wants hat first, then key, no matter what order they are taken and dropped.
