Reloading Bug

SPEAK YOUR MIND

"Does the distance one travels from center make one more free to move?"

"No. Freedom has two parts: potential and resolution; as metaphor has two parts: form and interpretation. Of course, the two are intertwined. Metaphor lines the road to freedom, as symbols and words are the bricks and mortar of meaning. Freedom is being the bricoleur, the mason."

Reloading Bug

Posted By: Catharsis
Date: 2002.10.8.19.13

There appears to be a problem with reloading. Say I empty my second Magnum or shotgun and have no clips to reload it... when I pick up a clip later, I expect it to either auto-reload, or reload as soon as I press the second trigger. But nothing happens: I have to switch to another weapon and back. After that, the weapon will reload automatically.
I'm not sure, but I think this only happens with weapons that come in pairs (Magnum, shotgun).
Also, why did you implement the Marathon 1 alien weapon rather than the Infinity one? The Marathon 1 version is not all that original; it works pretty much like the assault rifle sans grenades -- certainly doesn't warrant its position at the top of the weapon priority list.
The Infinity alien weapon was much cooler, it was markedly different from all other weapons, and could really spam a room full of fiery ringlets with large hit radii, while the fire damage added some extra psychological terror.
