If you turn on "Key Pickup" in the options you can only pick them up when the item highlight key is held down. Then you can toggle the item names to always show with 'z', and this provides exactly this behaviour - the item names always show but you can't click on them to pick up the items until you hold the item highlight key.

Or at least it did that to me when I just tried it.

Yes, this works, but you don't get the mouseover tooltips for items without pressing the pickup key so its annoying as it is right now.

ha ok, it's a misunderstanding :/

maybe the mouseover without highlight could be added in the option...
without highlight = you cannot pick-up, but at least you can see the item infos.
it's not a bad idea finally.

Yes, that's what I meant in the first place, earlier. I like knowing what the item stats are - AC/evasion ratings etc - before I actually place it in my inventory because it helps me know more in depth what I want to pick up and what I don't want.

But they don't show up with Key Pickup on...you can only see the basic item name title/name to click on, not the mouseovers. Pressing the Z key does not make the mouseovers come back, either, for me. I have to go back into Options and turn Key Pickup off. It's minor in the scheme of things, but still annoying to have to do that every time a fight's over.

Man you guy are silly-lazy.

Press Z then hold down your pickup hotkey. You're saying you're too damn lazy to hold down a button?

I made my highlight/pickup button spacebar, and I could hold it down 100% of the time if I wanted to. In fact I probably hold it down like 90% of the time due to some sort of habit anyway, and it works fine.

The main thing that this game could benefit from is just a custom filter (as opposed to just non-whites which isn't really useful) or perhaps even a better way of distinguishing items aside from just the names (which are rather hard to memorize when there's so many items). That said, it's too much work to bother with at the moment I'd say.

What pickup hotkey? The ALT key? I tried that, doesn't show me the "whole description" mouseover either. Is it supposed to?

I had an issue early on where the letter hotkeys (QWE etc) wouldn't work most of the time for a couple days but they seem to work most of the time now (edit:skills tied to the mouse worked, just the keyboard ones didn't).

Perhaps I have some weird little intermittent UI glitches...hm.

Yes. Assuming you haven't changed the alt key to something else (or bound two keys to the same key, which also seems to cause problems I think), you have some huge issue if it isn't showing up.

Like I said in my post: Spacebar is a really handy pickup/highlight hotkey, at least for me.

Nope, haven't changed any keys, still using the default setup.

Maybe I need a new keyboard...I also use a 2-pc switchbox perhaps something's messed up there I'll try connecting kb/mouse to the PC directly to test.

Thanks for the heads up on what it's supposed to be doing tho...at least I know the features there. I'll assume it's some weird little glitch for me then & hope it goes away on its own like the letter-hotkey thing did. :D

If were playing multiplayer, we need to see the items as they fall, its too slow to hit Z everytime you want to see the items, if you do that, I will beat you to the item that drops everytime.

I have the same complaint about the black border around items, it blocks the view, and should be transparent.

With items being viewed at all times, I'll see them the second the item lands, and players "focusing on monsters" and hitting Z once in a while, wont have a chance (until they add timers to pick up items, even then I'll still get most items)

The good players will play with items always showing, so there should be a transparency slider option for the black border around the drops.

I use the alt button to pick up the items, but leave them showing at all times.

Now I just need the ability to rebind the spacebar to standstill, cause its right beside the Alt key. Then my left hand can hit both, and QWERTASDFZXC12345 without ever moving.
