Title: [0.9.9.4 WinXP] Equipped Ammo Boxes: "Nothing to swap!"
Post by: Ander Hammer on September 01, 2011, 22:22

Is it intended behavior to be unable to switch to your prepared ammocan, so you can then equip a weapon instead?

edit: Guess what? I didn't realize you could take things off on the equipment screen. Still, allowing the player to switch to their ammocan and swap out directly might be convenient.

Indeed, the equipment screen is your only option for unequipping ammo packs which is rather inconvenient. This was brought up during beta testing, but it didn't get resolved maybe because any solution would require writing new interface code.

I like Game Hunter's suggestion of changing the equipment screen so that instead of unequipping slots, selecting a slot gives a menu of all items equippable in that slot with an additional "empty" option. There are some possible snags in trying do implement this though.
