Open pack: You feel too relaxed.

[Qzzrbl]

Why do I need to be standing up to open my pack? Or close it for that matter?

[FiveDisgruntledMonkeysWit]

You don't need to stand up. You just need to sit up. ('Sit' position, rather than 'rest').
It is pretty silly, though.

[Qzzrbl]

Silly indeed. It should be changed.

[RogueGunslinger]

This has always bugged me.

[Cutthroat]

I think this is a consequence of the old DIKU code base, which does not allow doors or containers to be opened by a resting character. I've seen other games with a DIKU base that had this "feature", but I could be wrong about it coming from the base.

It makes sense for doors, not so much for containers.

Unless you are laying on your backpack. If you are doing that, you should sit up, that way it reminds you that you are laying down with a backpack on.

[amish overlord]

Now that talking about subject seems odd to try to get anything from a backpack without removing it. Reaching over shoulder of whatever to get your access your pack.

but it also won't let you open belt-packs or even something in your inventory.

I always just thought it was silly that 'rest' was used so much more than 'sit'.  I'd assumed, from this exact code and similar code, that 'rest' must mean laying down fully.  Which is not exactly common in most situations.

I usually get confused between the two because I'll use the rest command and be propped up against a wall or something.

[RogueGunslinger]

After a sparring match, I'll use 'rest' for the coded benefit of quick recovery, while emoting that my character is leaning against a wall, crouching, whatever. Because honestly. You shouldn't be getting wounded during a sparring match, and not cut up so much to bleed.

[LittleLostThief]

I'm pretty sure that "rest" puts you in a position that you could easily sleep in, like laying down, but without the sleeping part.

And that "sit" was more appropriate for leaning on stuff or being casual.

I almost always sit. I'm hardcore.

You sit down and rest your tired bones.

There's a typo in this thread title.

Lol.

Fixed.
