I think this is a great idea, especially for the items that go on walls.
They could at least make them flippable without requiring extra artwork.
one of my biggest pet peeves. Its like they design it all by itself and never look at the item in a house locked down with other items.
...and stackable too, pretty please with sugar on it?
Can you be more specific? Generally all the new stuff gets added to the interior decorator when it can.
I think hes specifically talking about drops at EM Events.
Like promathia said, it is the EM event drops. Im at work now but off the top of my head i know.
Almost every painting from a EM event is non turnable; a scrap of memory torn from the mind of charlotte, the crux an picture, a tattered sho from rondorin empire ect, ect..
And then a bunch of other EM event item;
Rangers Garb
the Unfinished Timepiece clock
a toxic potion of a verulent rose
A golden mechanical songbird
A bronze shield replica
a bunch of the sword display event drops.
All of the Hanging axe/sword type of drops, like the new Vlad the torturers torturers tools
Also the new stealables from Eoden i think all are not turnable. I know for sure the carved myrmidex glyph and lava rock. But i think all the others aswell.. the old ruined paint stealable to can not be turned.
I know it is a very small thing in the grand scheme of the game. But for collectors or anyone who deco's its a tad bit annoying. when you pick up a item to fill a certain part of your house and then you cant use it bc its not turnable.

@Kyronix I am not a programmer and have no idea how much time or effort one would take to make.
But would it be possible to make a chest like grass/snow tile or the vet robe/cloak chest just with a different function??
Have a chest that you can drop a item in that can not be turned and you get the same item back but it is now turnable?

It wouldn't be necessary to create a box like that. In order to make something turn the interior decorator needs to know which objects correspond to which facings. If there are specific items that don't turn that you'd like to be able to turn you can send us the object type number (you can use the EC or ask someone with the EC to get the number) to [email protected]
Thanks!
Just the ID, the name is irrelevant in this case.

Oh this is good news. I had a few deco ideas for the stealable wall but was rather upset when I found they couldn't be turned, fixing this would be awesome! Thanks!
Awesome!!!
Thank you good ser for all your hardwork!!!
You just made alot of decoraters extremely happy
Next publish release notes:
- Fixed a bug where turning EM event items with the interior decorator caused the item to lose its unique hue and name....
As a developer, I can say sometimes things sound like they should be really easy to implement until you look at the code. "Oh yeah, we can do that no problem" *looks at code* "Oh... **** me"

What grimiz said.
Just getting the ID number of the item is one thing, but then it could revert to its unhued state and never get back to the EM's customs again.
Part of the issue is how the EM created the item. Sometimes they just create an item on the fly and do not think about these things - after all, they are also not developers.
Coding is not always so cut and dry... particularly OOP where more than one client has to render a specific graphic.
Two ways to fix this:
1 - Educate EMs on the process for creating a fully functional item
OR
2 - EMs communicate that a particular item/drop will not be manageable by the deco tool

just allow every item in game the ability to turn lol. can start with any new item. be careful on some stuff that turns and then u cant pick it up, or possible name change, or other bugs. good idea
* still hoping refinements will become stackable
