Mutator NewEquipmentMenu and Door Breaching Charges

[sir_edmond]

remote controled chages, i mean the player has to press a button for it to go off

Making it remotely detonate would need the QuickAction stuff to be enhanced too and these charges do not really need a remote control imo.

i hate it when i fly through something n miss something important.

The 5 seconds it takes to arm is enough time to pull it out and arm it (if games like RVS are a good reference ). There doesn't need to be additional time added by making the controls awkward and annoying for the player.

EVEN if 5 sec is too short, then just make it 7 or 8, just don't make us have to go into some menu to do a simple task.

I'd also add that if I were a soldier, I would put something I plan to use in an easy to reach location, not in the bottom of my pack

First off, how are the menus awkward? IRL, you arn't ready to shoot while
digging through your pack. Secondly, the five seconds is not enough time to
pull it out and arm it. The 5 seconds is strickly for arming it. Finaly, since
when is RVS an acurate depiction of real combat scenerios and weapons. It's
fun, but it's not "as real as it gets."

Hope Some EAS servers will use it soon{tm}
Its a nice feature, but till now 've seen no server running it, so why??(@ all ServerAdmins)

 

[Beppo]

It is already integrated into the Bonus Pack... so every server will have them then

 

[Blitzschlag]

GD server has been running this mutator for ever it seems. I use the breaching charge all the time on maps like: Sandman, LondonCity, Avignon, Jerusalem.

They are VERY handy.

So i didn'T see it in the Mut List or overread it, sry! But thx for running this little funny stuff

 

[{GD}Odie3]

Well, the way my server lists the mutator is different from every server that is out there. Since GD runs SO many mutators (18 currently) I had to re-name each mutator name. So what you see in the mutator list is mine "short" name for each one. For this mutator it is listed as, AddEquip and Charges.

Ok if someone can give look into this... it would be VERY usefull to blow doors with keypad. much more then ordinary doors. It's almost impossible to do right now. Maybe something could be done about this. Perhaps check for special keypad movers somehow and move them along with the door. What do you think beppo?

Actually I know you said its a pain to change the quickaction key, but is it possible to make it able to be blown remotely from the menu without the quickaction option. Right now its impossible to blow double doors simultainously cause you have to arm the charges one at a time.

 

[Nukeproof]

Why doesn't it work for me?

I can create loadouts with a charge but it doesn't show up in the equipment menu...

Any idea?

(yes mutie is active of course)

 

[mat69]

You have to activate both, the Charge and the Addequipement mutator.

 

[geogob]

Really I wish someone looked into this mutator, to blow double (coded) doors and stuff like that.
Remote control would also be appreciated for timed, synchronised usage of multiple doors. Stuff like that.

I'd do it myself, but I have already taken enough on my hands for now.

 

[Nukeproof]

You have to activate both, the Charge and the Addequipement mutator.

Thank's mat, my bad.

 

[Beppo]

just a note: the bonus pack includes this stuff now so you do not need the charge and addequip mutators anymore...
these three here are included in the bonus mutator and can be removed:
* INF_AddEquipment
* INF_Charges
* INF_50fix
