Restrict M37 boxes to holding only M37 shells.

Post by HalfdeadKiller » 19 May 2015, 18:25

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary):

Restrict M37 boxes to holding only M37 shells, and not any other item.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole):

Prevents marines from stuffing the boxes full of other ammo or items, and then onto their marine belt.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc):

See above. Also, boxes can just be flattened, then refolded as a normal box if more storage is needed.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it):

Code.

Can we even make more boxes? I'm always in a dire need of more as a researcher...

@Derpislav. Yes. Simply take out all the shells in an M37 box, and click on it in your active hand. That will flatten the box. Then take the flattened cardboard, and click on it in your active hand. Select box. Voila. You now have a empty standard box.

Thanks, now I just have to get my hands on several M37 boxes as a civilian.

Otherwise, +1. If you're crafty enough, you will stack endless ammo anyways, but I don't think it's an issue. I only run out of ammo while playing engineer or medic, and even then, it takes a long time without using any method of magazine compression.

I don't really think this is something that needs to be changed. They aren't that common in the first place and using them for more ammo in the belt is counter-intuitive most of the time. The space is best used for more useful items such as grenades, flares, and (dare I say) knives.

This needs to be done.
