Help me kill my worst pet hate.

Post by ARC1778 »

That thing where all your clips other than the last one, are full. Now I've no doubt that it's impossible for us to keep track of which unit has this many clips, with this many bolts in them, but good news! You're in the heat of battle, you don't have time to hold on to that half used clip! You toss it, or you spend six seconds exposed with your hand off your weapon, shoving it into a pocket you don't have. :funny2:

But is it possible to come up with a small Lua. file that deducts the ammo you have left in the cilp you take out from your gun, from the overall ammo count?

It's really, really "gamey" and has utterly no place in a FPS, let alone in a mod for "REALZIM HURRDY HUR".


Thank you for your assistance.

No :(. A lot of LUA changes to unit odfs would change the properties for every instance of the unit. So even if it were possible, it would not affect only 1 unit.

Battlefront is not a realistic game. It's meant to be arcadey just like the movies. But there are still plenty of other options for you to make it more challenging.

At least from my experience, trying to implement realism into mods doesnt exactly make for fun gameplay. Like milehighguy said, you could still do other things to make gameplay challanging. If you want a great example of that, try a little mod called kashyyk depot by AQT. He released a beta for the public, it shows how you can work with the mechanics of battlefront and still have something quite challanging. Actually all of AQT's maps/mods could demonstrate that.

If your dead set on something more like a FPS, I would recommend maybe modding a star wars themed mod into a moddable fps game like counter strike or the older battlefield games.

Edit: Actually you could look at battlefront extreme also. ARCCommander had released all of his assets for it, you could use them as great refference.

Ah, oh well, nnevermind. I'm not really an FPS player, I don't really own any FPS at all, I own this one cause star wars, But at the same time it's not really all that lore, I'd like to get it a little bit closer, but not everything is possible, to be honest, I think letting you have only full clips is silly, it means you don't have any tradeoff for reloading constantly. XD

There's no blood in battlefront, because only wampas cause bleeding, I'm okay with this. But I just hate the free reload, it's impossibe!

Well you could make the reload speed a lot slower. That would punish it.
