For that.... I thank you

BTW I guess fishing rod have to be added as custom item now - for retrieving those keys from the drainage. This or a fire poker.

I think with all this alcoves we made we could build up some very nice puzzles!

EDIT:
Despite my non-existent understanding of scripting, thanks to the scripts you guys are providing, I've managed to combine crisman's single hook with Neikun's shield carrier. I've even add a round shield to a range and leaned the bottom corner of shields toward wall to make them hang more naturally. Ok, I've done it mainly because the hook stuck out that flat round shield otherwise, but it does look more natural Anyway here's a result:
Here's script (all credits go of course to crisman and Neikun, because I don't know what 95% of those runes below means ):

The cool thing about those shields is the possibility of placing hidden button on the wall behind them. I can imagine high level and well equipped players, who enters room with several rounds shields hanging on the walls, would most likely ignore them as mere decoration. How long will it takes them to realise there's hidden button behind one of those "decorations"? You can even add a scroll with a hint like "Entrance to the treasury is a well protected secret". Or "well shielded secret" if you really don't expect THAT much from the players

I can see it now, all we need is tables and pints o' foamy meadddd and we have Valhalla... An Alcove Deities' Valhalla!

I'll be sure to implement this as well in one map or another (won't fit into sewers all that well, maybe : P)

(EDIT: No longer required!) Also, I inquire you all for a bit of aid: Is it possible to alter the item placement of an altar? (I need three gems on one altar, or something the like) I tried delving into your territory, but conceded bitter defeat. I could always turn it into an alcove, it doesn't look too bad connected to a wall. But a loose altar would fit my nefarious purposes better.

EDIT: Felt bad about always asking for help, decided to be a man and devise a workaround myself. I am currently working on three altars stacked on the same space. Now I need to code it so that each "slot" only accepts one item at a time. I think I am getting the hang of this after all.

EDIT2: Partial success! Hahaa! I'm still going to tweak it, but this is basically 4 alcoves on top of each other, so that each only accepts one item at a time. The fourth slot I made just for that book for now, it won't accept anything else, but changing that is a piece of cake, I suppose. I think I'll put a light effect in when all gems are in place...
