Click the equipable box for the pipes

I was wondering if you guys would mind checking the box to have the pipes equipable, this way we could have them in our hands while rping and stuff, just would look better.

Um, Hellblazer.

If you'll take a look in the Toolset, there is not, in fact, an "equippable box".  Some base item types (for example, Gauntlet), are equippable.  Some base item types (for example, Misc. Small) are not.

More to the point, items have models that go with them.  Most of our cool models are drawn from (or variations on) Lisa's Holdables, which are all quite cool.  There are not, however, any pipes.  So in order to make the pipe equippable and visible, a 3d model would have to be created, tested, added to the hakpaks, and the pipe items themselves would have to be remade as whatever base type they would now belong in.

So it's not a "would you mind?", it's a "could you do a great deal of work?".

For that reason, I suspect the answer will be no.

Edit: These, I suspect, were the inspiration for our pipe system.  So they have an inventory icon, but no model.

It was more metaphorically to ask if it was possible to make them equipable. i know that the tool set doesn't have that box ;)

I apologize, then, for the tone of my reply, but it really did sound like you were trivializing the amount of work involved without much thought given to the nature of the request.

While all suggestions are worthwhile, as a rule, before I suggest something, I spend a little time investigating what would be required to implement it.  That way, I get a sense of what I'm asking for, as well as some of the roadblocks I might help circumvent.

Anyway, again, I apologize for misinterpreting your intent.

No worries DS, I should probably have thought of an other way to make a metaphore of it, that would have made a bit more sense.
