The following problem might be related, so I'm adding it to this issue. When reading a multi-page book, and using the scroll wheel to scroll through it, the inventory system is also receiving the scroll event, and the weapons start scrolling in the background. When you leave the book, the chosen weapon readies itself (blackjack, bow, or sword pops up). Edit: Now I can't reproduce this problem. |

Just wanted to confirm that the original issue happens to me as well. |

I found this comment in the readables gui: "// greebo: Close this readable, when (other) inventory items get used" This tells me the observed behavior is intended. The active inventory item can be used even when a readable is open. The readable just gets closed as a side effect. Comments? |

I suppose that the original behaviour was that perhaps if you had a flashbomb selected and a guard came upon you while reading, you could drop a flashbomb and close the readable at the same time. Will try and test this tonight when I get home. But regardless, no one ever expects that behaviour so it's kinda not wanted. |

I don't think it makes sense to use inventory items while reading. |
|

Yeah I tried it a few times, I don't like it. |

This is a behavior change, not a bug fix. Disallow using inventory items while a readable is on the screen. Delay releasing the immobilization lock (which prevents the USE key from using inventory items) until the readable is off the screen. Rev. 13727: tdm_readables.script |

I just noticed that I can't close a readable with the USE key when no inventory icons are showing. I went back to 1.08 to see what the behavior was there, and it's the same. Are you guys expecting to be able to use the USE key to close an immobile readable when no inventory icon is displayed? I suspect that we aren't supposed to be using the USE key to close immobile readables; it just happened to close them when we USEd whatever inventory item was active. The USE key closes a mobile readable because it's toggling that inventory item on and off. The "Dark Mod Gameplay" wiki talks about using USE to open and close readables in inventory, but says nothing about opening or closing immobile readables. The first book in the Training Missions says a readable can be closed using the ATTACK or USE keys, but doesn't differentiate between mobile and immobile readables. The statement is true for mobiles but false for immobiles. |

Yes it should be consistent across readables, static or moveable, using USE to open the readable should also work to close it regardless of what's selected in the inventory. If that can be done without breaking inventory somehow, I guess that's my vote. Either allow USE button to close across all readables regardless of type, or disallow it completely, just to make it consistent. |

I'm fine with "use" closing static readables. |
|

Also needed a change so that immobile readables will close when the USE key is pressed and no inventory items are showing. This is also a behavior change, not a bug fix. Rev. 5908: Player.cpp Rev. 13734: tdm_readables.script |
