How to stack items?

[Trucidation]

Hullo folks. Is there any way of stacking / combining inventory items? (I'm playing GH1). Since the only way to scroll through your inventory is using the up / down arrow keys, it gets a little annoying seeing 10 lines of  "Hot Dog (1)" instead of a nice clean single "Hot Dog (10)". Pills already appear to stack at (10), but that's how you get them -- you can't combine two stacks together.

Tried searching the forums for "stack" and "combin" (combine, combining, etc) but got nothing relevant.

AFAIK, stacking only works in GH2, and it's sort of automatic.  GH1 doesn't have stacking, I think only pills and such that have multiple uses have a stacking feature.

Yeah... I had vaguely thought I remembered a patch to GH1 that allowed stacking, but checking in th'yahoo group says my memory has failed me, this time.

So it's as Mr. Munoz says; GH2's the only one that stacks, though it's mostly a display thing even then. It's about as much a pain in GH2 as in GH1 to move 50-60 deluxe rations from one inventory to another, heh.

I see. Oh well, gotta live with it then. It's not gonna stop someone determined to enjoy the game (I bought a usb keypad for my laptop for this    ), but it's quite a hassle. Isn't GH2 still being worked on, though? It'd be nice if this could be done.

Yeah, GH2's already got item stacking of a sort; it'll put together identical items for you. T'was a blessing when it happened, but from what I understand a titch of a pain to code. There's some postage somewhere on the forum about it, a ways back (Here, actually.). Mind you, there's no 'move all item', nor 'stack splitting' or similar such things, but it does a massive amount to unclutter the inventory.

'Course, they're still separated out in parts view, but that's fairly minor. Can usually just hit the up button and work your way up instead of starting from the top.
