limited ammo?
« on: April 13, 2008, 03:01:42 pm »
hey

what about limitied ammo? like in soldat.ini
limited ammo (or sth like that) = 1/0

and then you can define how many clips each weapon has
eg ak = 5 , ruger = 10

would be rly cool at realistic (TW)

but then you should can add supply kits to the maps (like medi kits)
and then you get 1 - x random clips
and you can pickup others ammo but only when it comes from the same weapon you arecarriyng =/

sry for my english

Been suggested by me and others, even as a server option (or changable in singleplayer games).
unfortunately it was rejected for... I can't think of the reason.

no, too much work for only the minority of the community (TW players). and this would be redicoulus in normal mode as you wouldnt run out of ammo before you've died.

I don't see the problem, even in normal. Make it a serverside option, or an option in the weapons.ini .

I'm sure that many R/S and TW players would appreciate reduced spray. Normal would be fun, too.. Having to scavenge somebody else's ammo to feed your ravenous consummation of cordite. :D

Perhaps more strategy may be required then (which keeps bad noobs out), but everyone would constantly have to keep scrambling for more ammo. So, I dunno if it would be a good idea. I'm between F11 and F12 on this one. F11.5?

When I started playing I loved that you couldnt run out of reloads... that's one of the many things that make the game like it is.  Maybe for realistic though, for a server option, but definately not for DM and regular CTF.

If it can be scripted, then good.

If not, its pure F11. Sorry, but with limited ammo it kinda breaks the feel of Soldat.

well I supose this is possible, but you'll probably lose your weapon when you're out of ammo (only way I can think of it).

It could be scripted, although not very smooth as if it were implemented into Soldat itself.
And if you want every weapon to have a clip amount, you would need to spawn the weapons (to get id of weapon), not selected via weapons menu.

Limited ammo/reloads would throw off the pacing of the entire game, no matter how you dice it. F11.
To sum up my point: We had a multipage debate about toilet padding. (Putting TP in the water so you don't get splashed.)
And we still don't know if dead guys can keep a stiffy.

This would make the knife the most popular secondary.  Fisting would become a needed skill.  ;D

NO!

Soldat is not halo/CS/cod4/GTA/etc.

Limited ammo is only for 3d games!

I don't like to fist fight nor search for ammo. F11. Sorry.
