Details Edit

New function for 2.4 that allows you to find out what items can go into what bags. If the item you pass is a container itself it will return what items it can contain since containers can always only go in general purpose bags. This function only returns info for the items in the item cache just like GetItemInfo. If the item is not in the item cache the function will return nil.

The best way of testing if an item is a bag (or quiver) is to GetItemInfo() it and check if the 9th return value is "INVTYPE_BAG". All other tests require localization.
