Summary0004906: Add frob assistance for cluttered objects inside containers
DescriptionPicking up cluttered objects in a container can consume quite some time, which lessens immersion. Gameplay would greatly benefit from some sort of FrobHelper.

Two Methods have been proposed:
1) Show a subtle dot for aim-assistance when multiple objects are within frob range.
-> It should slowly blend in to a semi-transparent state with configurable delay, fade-in time and alpha-value.
2) Cycle through multiple frobable objects with an additional button.
-> Some team members spoke out against adding further control elements, though.

Any implemented method has to be fully optional.

Method 1 has been implemented. The FrobHelper cursor is shown when there are small objects within frob range.

Copying here:

Is it really necessary to hack alpha parameter into idUserInterface::Redraw?
There are states and something like registers there. Maybe they can be used?

Update: search for HUD_Opacity in gui files and in the source code.
It looks like the right way to do that.
