Musical instruments. (Props first, functionality later)

Post by ThresherAle »

To quote my post in the "what little things do you want" thread that got locked:
Musical instruments. They don't need to do anything special, I just need me a guitar or banjo to play while I sing. A harmonica or jaw-harp to carry around in my pocket would be nice, too.
Even if it's just a prop item that doesn't actually do anything and it can get updated later, I'd love to have one. People are having a lot of storytellings recently and I just can't sing a song without my guitar!

I want a flute, please. XD
I have two forces by my side,
One's the truth and one's a lie,
Which one's which I cannot tell,
This enigma is my hell.

I felt guilty when I cheated and emoted having a guitar to accompany my recital at the recent event, but I didn't want to keep abstaining from these events for being guitarless. Figured I'd bump this request again while I was thinking about it.

Good news!
I have several instruments made and described, ready to go.

Bad news...
I need Rias to code some stuff and things for me to add them to shops (unless he's good with items first, code and function later)

This is such fantastic news! Even the idea of them being released made me squee out loud and startle my fiance and friends. I sincerely hope they will be available soon.

The Shadgard Music Shoppe now has some musical instruments and accessories! These are mere props at the moment but they're set up so they'll automatically work with any music-playing mechanics that get implemented in the future.

Larger or more delicate instruments must be stored in an instrument case - no cramming a banjo into a backpack or a fiddle into a satchel like a barbarian! The instrument cases can only hold musical instruments and associated accessories (tuning-fork, plectrum, horsehair bow, etc). Only one medium-size or larger instrument can fit inside a case at a time, but smaller instruments (jaw-harp, harmonica, etc.) and music instrument accessories can still go into a case even if there's a larger instrument already inside, as long as there's enough space left in the case. The instrument cases also have a strap that can be adjusted with the MODIFY command to have the case be worn in either the shoulders or back slot.

I'll let Rilulth in on the secrets of musical instruments so she can add some to Mistral Lake!

I'm operating under the asumption that the following is easy to do:

It seems as the musical instruments might be something rather eye catching when being held. Thus, I suggest they be add to display when LOOKing, as in '... holding a loot', and also when moving as in '... from the north, carrying a loot.'
