Toys in Lockers, and the Shuttle

[Pilcrow]

Summary: Another quality-of-life improvement. Apparently there's rules against dragging a locker full of guns with you onto the shuttle - which makes sense. But it isn't enforced by the game itself, which doesn't.

Benefits: Admins can relax some more. Again.

Details/Implementation: First off, hauling lockers should slow you down (preferably proportional to the combined w_class of all objects inside it) by a fair bit, as should smartgun powerpacks. This stomps one bug.

Second, set up lockers so that they, in addition to the maximum number of contents, add an object's w_class to a variable for each object passed through insert(), if this variable exceeds some arbitrary number or var (like storage_capacity) then it starts rejecting items. Additionally, set the big guns' w_classes to somewhere along the lines of 5-10 to help this along, so that a locker then can only carry about three guns at the maximum and will weigh a ton to drag about on top of that.
Alternatively, check that the locker doesn't already have a gun in it, and reject all further guns if it finds one.
Ammo in lockers is a non-issue, personally.

It's not particularly elegeant, but it should work.

Don't quote me on it, but I think lockers are being made entirely immoveable.

Regardless, +1 for obvious reasons.

[MadSnailDisease]

Makes sense, and actually has info on how to implement unlike many suggestions, +1

I dislike this, as a RO i tend to use lockers -a lot- to move items from marine prep to cargo to send them down in supply crates.

Would give the Ripley some use, to be honest. I mentioned how it's a useless piece of crap in another thread. But I'm neutral on this. Why not, I like mah realism. I really don't want to see lockers anchored to the floor unless they're built into walls.

Aaaand you quoted me on it.

The RO gets several supply crates that work to the same effect. Marines can procure such crates but they are in limited supply, at least at round start.

Apophis775 has confirmed that he is going to anchor all Marine Prep lockers to stop dragging.

This thread has been implemented, move to lock and accepted?

Looks resolved. Locked.
