Custom mods can be a pain, but they can be amazing if they are organised properly. See Arma2 and it's "signed" mod system.

A simplisic "plug n play" system would be required though.

(also, I have a bunch of untextured weapon models I made for a client that were never used )

This would be pretty neat, but if you've played the game enough you realise how freakin easy it is to lose track of where you've been. Seeing a chest and then trying to get back to it later once you found a key might be the most frustrating experience possible in Receiver

For example, I remember I dropped a magazine on the ground for a quick reload once and then ended up finding lots of bullets later, so I tried to backtrack to the place I thought it was and got lost... so many times. I'm not saying I have bad navigation skills, it's just... with randomly generated scenery, you'd want to hope for a map or something that shows your existing discovered areas to justify so much backtracking.

Well if they make a system easy enough to learn and implement I think it'd really take off, I'm just not sure it has a wide enough fan base currently. Also any further comments on the starting screen pack/selection idea? I might add it later today after University is finished for the day.

Hullo there

Nothing more to add from me at this time. Looking forward to any changes/additions/mods etc.

Ok! Added the new one and also finished my practical... 2 hrs of computing and vibration analysis is not fun.

For anyone whose idea I have added or possibly forgotten, let me know if everything is right or if you need something changed

Thanks!

Could you maybe add the double-barreled shotgun as an idea in progress?

Haha ok, but I need more details on its design eventually.

Oh, I just thought of something else.

When the player is holding a magazine and presses "e" they drop the magazine. I really don't think this is needed, because why would the player want to dispose of the magazine. How about instead using the "e" key to remove bullets from the magazine in case the player starts the game with multiple magazines with small amounts of bullets each and wants to load all of the bullets into a single magazine.

It's there to create a smooth sequence when reloading.

E eject > E drop > 1-0 hold magazine > 1-0 insert > R cock

You can already do this by pressing R while holding a magazine.

My word! I have been playing this damned game for months and I never knew you could take the bullets out of the magazines!

Now I feel the same as when I did playing Assassin's Creed 1 and not knowing how to do the ledge assassination until after I finished the game.

Dammit!

How bout this?

This actually makes much more sense than a mosin nagant...

I would like the idea of a health bar and med-packs scattered throughout the map.

Mother of God that looks awesome

Hmmm... That'd take away the 1 shot, 1 chance feel about Receiver. Maybe in an Easy mode?

Hello there

if we're thinking of going down the mini carbine route, don't forget the "broomhandle" mauser, with it's woodenstock/holster.

If it's good enough for Han Solo or Prussian Cavalry then it's good enough for me.

Google it!
