Grrr 25 bags

[Cragzop]

Anyone know how to increase the open bag limit to 26?

I know it's petty but when I'm reordering things I like to see all of my bags, not all but one.

I don't think any of us here can do much for you, since the number of bags you can open at once is very much something only Sony can fix... If we could do anything about it, it wouldn't have taken a few years before we could open more than 2 containers at once.

On the other hand, do ALL of your bags MUST have something in them? Are you so tight on space? If not, just dump everything you have on you in the first 7 bags of your inventory, that way you can deal with having one closed bag. Things might not be sorted out exactly as they'll be when you're out hunting/tradeskilling, but at least you can easily sort what goes in the bank and what stays on you, and later sort out exactly where you will put things that you kept...

Just a suggestion.

I can open all 26 at once. Not sure why you can't.

[Oualawouzou]

Hum... Don't have LoY, so didn't know that 26 at once *is* possible. :P

I don't know if that will help, but check out your various *.ini files. Find the one with the window positions and see if there is one that has "0" in width/height value. For one character, I was unable to see his skill window untill I changed its value in the ini files to 100/100 width/height. Before, the window was there but basically shrunk into nothingness.

Just a shot in the dark...

I cannot open 26, only 25. I figured it was something hard coded by SOE and, like everything else, I have less of a chance of getting them to change it than EF has of melting, Oasis has of freezing, and Iroke has of xferring off of Sullon to Tarew.

So I try not to get so jam packed that EVERYthing has to be open. I try to leave something small like the mixing bowl closed. If I have to use my mixing bowl for storage space, it's bank cleaning time.

then again, I am prey to this weird mouse-lag thing that happened after some patch in December. I wonder if I should re-install Windows... it's only been 6 months tho. >_<

Um... maybe your talking about the new "tradeskill UI" on test...

If not... you probably have bags stacked behind each other and it mearly LOOKS like you can't open them all. For I -assure- you that I have -repeatedly- on -multiple- characters had 26 containers open. (8 main inventory, 16 bank, 2 shared bank) I do it all the time on my main, my alt, my trader, my mule, and my guild spell bank mule. Not to mention my wife and all her characters.

Hope you find that last bag.

Yay!!

Thank you! Thank you!! Thank you!!!
One of my characters has lost their skill window and I had no idea where it went. All other characters can see theirs just fine... I logged in and logged out, rebooted, did a thurough file check, and would have sacrificed a gnome (if the char in question had not been a gnome)... I thought I had gone completely crazy!! (which would have been entirely possible - I was tradeskilling at the time) My silly work around was syncing with magelo and checking the profile online

As soon as I get home from work, I'm going to fix this. Yay!

Thank you! ! Thank you!! for the skill window fix from me as well. For anyone else having this problem, the ini file you're looking for should be called: UI Charname Servername.ini. Mine was: UI Hleanu xev.ini. This had really started to bug me!

I have been cussing the 25 bag limit since the shared bank space was put in. And I still can only open 25...

[Mavick]

Thanks!

I have to also thank you for the skill window fix. It was driving me bonkers not being able to see it!

Aye it is quite annoying. I can open every bag I own except one. Itend to put all the quest items I am holding on to in one of those bags and then never open it until I need it

[Mystrice]

woot, my shammy can't see his skills on my computer either. Thanks for that help, will try to fix it as soon as I get home

Hey, Itek...I don't mean to sound like a non-believer, but could you please double check this? Can you, in fact, open ALL 26 (8 main, 16 bank, and 2 shared) bag slots at once?

Like others mentioned above, I can only open 25 at a time. In order to open the last one, I have to close another one. Very much like when you could only have 1 bag open at a time...or when you could only have 8 (or was it 9?) when LoY first came out (it took a couple of patches, I believe before you could open all bags.)

I assumed they just upped the max from 8 or 9 to 25...which, at the time, was 1 beyond the max bags you could have access to anyway. Now, with the shared bank, you can have 26.

The idea above about a 0-width/height container, while it did find some missing skill windows...thanks , isn't the problem...as the bags work just fine if you have fewer open.

I noticed the same thing with me being only able to open 25 bags. It seems if you have a UI that has extra slots in your bag(like primary, secondary,...ect) it will do this. Its almost like EQ can only show so many UI things.

Hope that helps

25 container windows seems to be the limit. Has been for quite some time now. I too would love for SOE to give us that last, 26th window.
