Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): Separate items create more lag. I'm pretty sure if I wanted to crash the server, all I would need is some shotgun ammo to divide into a fuckton of separate shells and put in motion. Plus it's annoying as all hell to combine handfuls when you unload a weapon.
Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): Obvious.
Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): Shells and revolver ammo automatically combine into full handfuls if dropped on the same tile.
Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it): Wave the code-wand at it.
Ammo handfuls automatically combine on the floor.

This would cause more lag then it'd fix

Still relevant, as armoury floor (and then disposals) is literally flooded with singular shells every round.

Re: Ammo handfuls automatically combine on the floor.
+1 if it does like some other servers and only happens when a player click on a table with his stack so that both stacks (from table tile and the dropped stack) stacks together into a single stack of stackable objects (Stack).
Otherwise, still fine with the idea of dropped items stacking, but that'd be a bit more of a strain.

CM was obviously inspired by Starcraft: Ghost opening. At least when marines takes too long to deploy.

Re: Ammo handfuls automatically combine on the floor.
Or we can make ammo magazines combinable. +1 I guess
You will never be as bad as the baldie who picked up a tactical shotgun while a hunter was pouncing on top of a CMO for 4 seconds, with his only response being to pace around before being decap'd by said hunter. You are not Brett Kimple, and you never will be. You are not the reason why I regular MP.

Re: Ammo handfuls automatically combine on the floor.
No. Just make dropped items call crossed() and check if the crossed thing on the ammo is other ammo and combine it.Casany wrote:This would cause more lag then it'd fix

+1
It's a small change but it would cut down on the insane clutter that exists every round.
