I noticed that control of the ACP v4 styles are done by the crafting menu.. this menu starts a conversation with oneself.. Much the same way that the green PC crystal does... how about adding a few more nodes to that crafting menu.. "Aenea Player Guide(inc VC Chat System Pointers)", "Ioun Stone Management", "How to use PIES", ... ... just to think of a few .. ... this menu is given to ALL players isn't it? ... ... saves that extra crystal in the inventory, removes another resource, is accesable to everyone...

... With a little The Amethyst Dragon manipulation of the Icon to something more "PC Options" orientated ...add in an edit to the tlk to change "Crafting Menu" (mouse-over on the radial) to something else as well .. and a little more manipulation of the dialogue (the opening statement from "Craft Menu" to "Your Options" .. )...

... Then a pop-up / combat-log message everytime ye walk through the conjunction / Sleeping Dragon to remind you (old and new players) to check this amazing abuse of that radial... ... ...

.... something to think about...

The ACP v4 styles will be controlled in Aenea via the VC system, once I activate it (the 1 new script for it is about 99% done).

Using the crafting radial to replace and expand upon the green crystal...nice idea. Something I'll have to ponder (update tlk file, change radial icon, change conversation file...).

Indeed, Rusty. That is a really good idea for efficiency.

I've opted to not put all of the green info crystal functions into the crafting menu conversation.

Having the crystal takes up minimal inventory space and gets new players' attention right away. Placing it into the craft menu would only show if/when they use the radial menus.
