Xenos eject un-devour-able objects.

[AishaKitty]

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): Xenos eject un-devour-able marine body contents, instead of deleting them.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): Handles the issue of causing massive server lag when a Marine has a backpack full of ammo, which is likely a worsening issue, with the implementation of "burst-fire" also, makes it easier for Marines who are cut off to scavenge for supplies.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): When a Xeno devours a Marine, dead or alive, at the point it usually deletes everything on the Marine, and causes server-lag, have all the same objects that medical scanners won't allow when you try climbing in (and things like bullets, magazines, and weapons.) be dropped on the floor. Like how Owls vomit up mouse skeletons instead of shitting them out.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it): Just force certain pre-selected object to be vomited up(?) [Not a coder myself, but I'm sure you guys have thought of this already and can't do it on bay code, but if you haven't why not look into it?]

This is actually worse for performance, just queue the items to be qdel()'d they are in a stomach so they'll slowly dissolve.

The issue is mostly MAGAZINES, and if you Qdel() magazines, they just cause lag over a longer period, with only slightly less force from said lag.

[ErikHanson]

That's because magazines might not properly qdel and leave behind references, which is a easier fix than writing a new system.

We talked about this as a staff team. Apophis told us of his idea of having items and bodies go to a "Admin Graveyard", instead of being deleted.

Why not disable devour all together, its not really canon to begin with.

+10, +20, +30.

Regardless, from what I see, the digestion island thingy has already been accepted, so, y'know, that's this topic.

[Infernus]

This is already a thing

This is a thing now @Infernus. It wasn't at the time.

[Infernus]

It is now. :P
