Moogles, Mog Houses and "Storage" II

[Daniel_Hatcher]

The tragedy of being a programmer (and by extension, a developer) is that "simple, small fixes" aren't as simple in reality as they are in the minds of players.

Only if you're just beginning programming....

I say that as someone able to program in many different languages.

For example:

Clearly coded

/*
--------------------------------- Item Storage data ---------------------------------
*/

// Safe
// Sack
// Inventory
if (Location = homeCity) {
showStorage()
} else {
blockStorage()
}
// Satchel
// etc....

make that poorly coded and it could be something as stupid as

// check 1ImSuperman
// check 2pokeKickFly
// check 3fishStabPoke
// check 4blahFishtakeBlah (storage < Storage one poorly named by an amateur on a school project)
// check 5ImBatman
// check 6WEEEEEEEE!

Making it ridiculously hard to find, so unless the people that programmed FFXI originally only just started programming it should be clearly coded, labeled etc...

People make programming out to be too hard, it really is not, it's like learning another language. The first is a pain, but after that the rest is a breeze.
