Load

[HR-Marduk]

Within the next few days, a new version of the LOAD verb will be implemented.

A> This should fix the bug several people will be having when loading two weapons at once. On a related note, the only criteria for loading two weapons will be that they both be one-handed and use the same ammo type.

B> The roundtimes for loading will now be slightly reduced with high levels of skill and coordination:

Mercenaries, Trackers, and Agents will receive a greater reduction with firearms.
Mercenaries and Trackers will receive a greater reduction with all archery weapons.
Mercenaries, Troopers, and Technicians will receive a greater reduction with pulse weapons.
Mercenaries will receive a greater reduction with exotic weapons.

C> You will now be able to specify which ammunition you want to load your weapon with. (i.e. load bow with my shock arrows)

D> Things players won't be able to see will allow for future expansions for archery and thrown weapons.

If anyone has anything they desperately want to see added to LOAD, best say so now.

-------------------

Since this is more or less along the same lines of load, a lot of the mechanics which handle ammunition have been rewritten, in particular that relating to firearms jamming and arrows breaking.

Here's an idea for shotguns, may already be around and if so, ignore this....but have you thought of street-sweeper types? You know, about a 30 round clip for a shotgun? Just a thought that came to me.

Ah, the other thing about loading I wanted to mention.

Lets say I have a stack of 10 AG9 rounds and a stack of 15 AG9 rounds.

If I load my rifle (holds 30), it'll only put 10 rounds in, instead of all 25 bullets.

Can this be changed?

well, if it helps any, with 170+ marksmanship and 147 coord, i only get 13 seconds, so there might be huge plateaus between loadtimes.
