Hi All..

First off, great work Ben, you have managed to get so many people addicted to this greatl ittle game..

One thing (which I hope has not been suggested - I have not seen it anywhere) to do with checking things in and out of the agency lockers.


I find that I spend a fair bit of time removing four things from my person and putting them in the locker, then taking the smarts gear to analyse a scene (i usually do 4 or 5 immediately and save them so I dont have to go through it each time) and then put down all 4 smarts gear items and picking up 4 tough items.. then getting my original items back at the end.. it is a bit of a process..

Would it be possible to put check boxes next to all of the items so you can select them and take them/put them back all at once, instead of having to do it one at a time?

I think that makes sense, because if you have a full locker (on the random chance that it happens) when you try to swap things out of your hands, it always swaps the same one. With the check-boxes you might be able to check that you want to put back BOTH items in your hands and pick up two NEW items to take the place. Yes? No?

I think this is worth considering. There have been quite a number of good suggestions about this issue, but I haven't seen this particular one. So thank you to Deayts for adding to the mix!

Also, if you're interested in this issue, please consider looking at the "forensics expert" as proposed in the General Feedback thread of Game Announcements, and weigh in with your thoughts there.

Hmmm. Does sound like a good idea. From the subject line, I thought maybe you were going to suggest a system to track who checks items out of a locker and then back into the locker, to help cut-down on the thefts the agencies have been experiencing. Excellent suggestion, Deayts!

What life was like before Ben refined the agency lockers. I seem to be sunk in nostalgia today. I think I even spelled it right. lol

Is there a way to have the secretary track who takes and returns what items? That's probably a big programming thing though, eh?

Yeah Deborah, your secretary can track items. Go to 'Visit Agency Clerk' on your Agency main page then click 'View equipment locker transaction log' (or something like that)

Yoyo, I guess people don't change their stuff much in your agency... you look at our log and it's like trying to find a needle in a haystack.
Deb, I agree, it would be useful to be able to do a search on item names, or maybe a filter.

I would love a way so that you could all the items that make up a outfit in a box, so you could just grab the box. example: Instead of selecting all of the smart gear, one just opens the locker/box marked Smart Gear. And Volia! your detective is wearing all the stuff in the box/locker.

Amanda I'm guessing you only have one set of smart gear in the agency... I would lean more toward Brasco's idea... a search box or filter would be nice... Like his, our Clerk's record is like finding a needle in a haystack. Also, the box idea isn't bad, just more precise labeling of the box would be nice... in our agency we have 2 complete sets of smarts gear. A filter for our Locker would be nice, considering trying to find anything under one of our categories is like a chaos.
