Which Depot System You Prefer? "Xeno" vs "Neo"

[Stusse]

Hello!

Doing a quick poll, which depot system do you prefer for depositing/withdrawing?

System 1:
XenoBot Style- Cascaded backpacks, 1 in 1 in 1 in 1 ..

For example, 1st stackables, 2nd rares, 3rd rings to withdraw, 4th amulets to withdraw.

System 2:
"Neobot Style" - One backpack in Depot for loot: Inside this one 2-4 for stackables, rest for non-stackable loot.

Simply: 1st backpack with 20 bps for loot, 2nd bp rings to withdraw, 3rd bp amulets to withdraw.

I know the "Depot Systems" might not've came from either XenoBot nor NeoBot, but referring to them is easier I guess.

I used the first one on neo because the second one is too much work to setup and you might run out space pretty quickly if you loot a lot of shit like broadswords etc.

Edit:
sorting the loot afterwards is also a pain in the ass.

Xeno style of course!!

Reasond: same as above :D

I really liked the depositing system that BUg(?) made.

[Htek]

I prefer the second one, no doubt!

When depositing, it'd open your loot BP in the depot, your stackable items went in the beach BPs and your non-stackable items went in the purple ones. It'd deposit into the first BP until it as full, then the second bp, then the third, ect..

Xeno FTW.
Hate the Neo one..

xeno system, although i feel like its bugged, often it doesn't deposit every item, especially with complicated bp/dp setup and many bps already opened. and no, darkstar, its not laggs like u kept telling me last time ^^

xeno style , but sometimes my characters dont deposit all items, dont know why.

Luls is right - The "Neo system" pretty much started with BUgWT. The reasoning behind it is pretty simple (IIRC) it was related to how him and his guild used to organise their loot in their GH, into bps like that. There are a few reasons it was favoured:


More human - normal people won't open 50 backpacks inside one another to deposit a single item.
More efficient - you put 4-5 bps of bps in your depot, and it only has to open one container and drop the item onto the last known good slot (typically since opening the bot), and your item is deposited
Easier recognition of looted items (using the colour coding means that all your stackables are in one type of container, and non-stackables aren't, whereas using XB system people tend to use whatever container they can find)
Easier to sort for selling (don't have to open a chain of bps and make a mess when organising it, just open 2 and remember which the last was by row / column)
Easier to buy (since when you use "by with bps" in Tibia, it will give you say 18 backpacks, in 1 backpack, of different colours to one another)
Easier to count loot (20x20=1 full rig, whereas with XB it's n19 where n is the quantity of backpacks, which is often difficult to count)
It doesn't generate the pattern "open container, open container, open container" at a fixed interval, like the XB version - though this is probably pseudorandomised now


Reasons in favor of XB:


It was (once upon a time, and possibly still, IDK) the only way to do it
As people have suggested, it is less limited in that you aren't required to switch container structure each time you deposit items
I don't believe anyone here has invested the time to write a script capable of this yet


As far as I'm concerned the old fashioned BUgWT way was the best, but each to their own. Also, I recall when I was writing one script I told Sah that a certain item drops really frequently, I believe it was life rings / rohs but can't remember the spawn (possibly at cults or something), and effectively the resulting decision was to have a second top level backpack of a different colour, which would store all of the rings. We did the same for a few scripts, and for a few items (such as broadswords at dragons). Works very well, since you end up with a bp of bps of broadswords, then a bp of bps of valuable shit that you actually want.

XtrmJosh My personal scripts actually use the "Neo / BugWT" system tho the code looks messy and im certain its outdated cuz im retired since 4~6 months but it worked like a charm, never failed

Pretty much the same as BUg code then, it was always nasty to have to read, but it worked, and it worked well. I don't think I've ever seen it on XB anyway, and I've bought / downloaded and written my fair share of scripts here :(
