**notice : work is complete around the equip and unequip sections of inventory and dogs. it is safe to perform these actions again **


dogs equipment now show full item names as opposed to partial file names previously.

a series of backend database transformations will now commense to migrate away from the old sysem to the new one.
**
I'll post when its finished. please be careful equipping and removing items in mean time.
**
afterwards, the items system will be mostly prepared for new features

aka:
-new content
-positionable items
-non unique items (more than one accessory of a type)
-above or below dogs in background
-database and image rendering performance increases
-migration of all image assets to its own server set (speed increase, content safety, expandability, redundancy, etc)

**ALERT: I have begun work on transitioning the database away from the old code. in particular if you notice odd behavior from equipped accessories in general, or time stops especially, please let me know **

after these are cleanly separated, I will begin work on the display of equipped accessories next

ok, working on items, I'm gonna break this down into a few parts.

front end , backend and individual item fixes will be done first, with updates posted in the comments.

a new thread will be started for 'future items'.

my hope / plan is to have a 'santa update' consisting of one or more of the future items ready to go

front end / UI issues:

• Mass Handle items
  
• try to improve user store, maybe add a directory to profile etc
  

backend:

• database redesign
  
• prepare for non unique equippable items, image editor
  

Items not working:
**note: please post in comments any other broken items
*** all known item bugs are cleared. if you find more tell me so I can fix them!
