Check how many of that item I have while shopping?

Absolutely love the game but there are some tedious bits in the menu here and there that do annoy me.

One of the bigger ones is when I am in a shop menu and say the merchant has lots of alchemy items but of course off the top of my head I haven't got a clue if I already have these items or not.

Ideally I would like to hover over a merchant's item and see some counter like "In inventory: x" and if that x is 0, buy a few to make sure I've got a bit of everything.

Unless I'm being completely blind, I don't believe the game has this. So is there any way to do something similar in this game?

Solution 1:

There isn't any way to see how much you have when looking at the merchant's item.

About the only thing in this area is the ability to 'pin' a crafting recipe or diagram which will then show you if the merchant has any of the required items.

Solution 2:

I added this in line 570 of guiTooltipComponent:

if (m_playerInv.GetItemQuantity(item) > 0)
{
    addGFxItemStat( propsList, " ", "(owned: " + m_playerInv.GetItemQuantity(item) + ")                                                                                                                                                         ", " ");
}

It's a bit hacky because I couldn't figure out how to add text at that location without an icon another way.

Solution 3:

As of at least the 1.31 patch, pinning a recipe and selecting an item in the merchants inventory that is required for that recipe will show you how many you have in your inventory out of how many you require.

For example, if I had 1 Mandrake Root in my inventory and needed 5 for a recipe, when I hover over the Mandrake Root in a merchants inventory after pinning it I will see a tooltip with (1/5) on it.
