Easy picking up of ammo

(1/3) > >>

gabba:
I find akward the default controls and behavior for picking up ammo (g), and especially for unloading weapons lying on the ground (U) to get their ammo.

I always end up remapping the U key to t, that way at least the keys (g and t) to pick up stuff are together.

My suggestions:
1- Once you already have a weapon and it is fully loaded, the game should assume you just want the ammo if you issue a get (g) command over a similar weapon's square. If you really want a second weapon, you can always press g again - personally I never carry around two of the same weapon.
Unless we get to dual-wield pistols (advanced trait) in a future version? Or maybe a knife in one hand, a pistol in the other...

2-If you run over some ammo it should just auto-pickup (I suppose it takes time, so there should be no enemies in sight). But it should do that only if there's a slot in your inventory that's being used for a kind of ammo, but is not full. This way you still decide what to put in each inventory slot.

Wa already can dual wield pistols... and dual wielding knives is on the way i think....

Fingerzam:
Auto-pickup could be a disabled by default feature, though I really think it will just kill some marines, and it would just be annoying most of the time, since you'd have to either reconfig the ini file for correct ammo for every game you change your weapons, or have it collect all ammo, which would be really annoying.

Besides, you don't need to unload weapons that often, at least I don't do it for other weapons than chainguns most of the time, and not even those that often.

But I do pick up multiple weapons of the same type. Early in the game, if I'm going for shottyman, I carry multiple shotguns with me, and ditch 'em on the way when inventory space becomes more important. I also might want to carry multiple rocket launchers.

And don't forget multiple BFG's and/or Plasma Rifles...
