Hey

Am i right that you disabled 'quick swapping' of weapons on hitloc ?

What i mean with quick swapping is when you douple tap 2 (or the +nextweap button binded) you can end reloading your weapon without changing to secondary weapon.

(I may be wrong about this, some other reason might cause me this problem)

Why i am asking is that, ever since i played hitloc for first time, i have not been able to do this in other mods, nor in core-cod4. Today i was at promod server and thought they have made same 'update' as you have done, but i was wrong. Other players could swap guns like before.

Can you guys look into this ? Has someone else noticed this too ?

And my opinion is, if you removed that quickswap ability, pls bring it back ;P i allways struggle reloading bolt-action rifles, when i dont need to load all 4/5 bullets in, only need 1 or 2 more to get the kill... i know i can stop reloading with fire button, but...

-Itis

edit: oh, the versions i've played are whatever RetoxSquad Hitloc server has and hitloc_beta_v0.1.rar on my own server for fun with my friends.

edit: News, i figured out some of this

I found out that in my cod4 profile i haven't used for ages i can 'quickswap'. I started game without mods (/map mp_shipment) and was able to quickswap, left game, started hitloc mod, back to shipment and i couldn't quickswap. Launched the game once again without mods, and ability to quickswap was gone.. :(

I did this test: made a new profile, copied config_mp.cfg from the profile where i could no more quickswap, started game and i wasn't able to quickswap. So, hitloc changes some command in my config which disables quickswapping. To be sure i deleted the config from the new profile and quickswap was back.

Can you make hitloc change the command back when leaving the server, if possible?

If not, i'll just make another profile for hitloc :/

Yes we disabled it. No, we won't be enabling it.

Reason: Disabling it removes 2 major unrealistic abuses: Rapid fire and quickswapping.

You will have to wait for Falcar's response about resetting it when leaving, but it will definately be staying as quickswapping to cut short a reload and rapid firing are glitches that we do not want abused in HitLoc.

/cg_weaponcycledelay 0

Imo shouldn't even be configurable, should be set to 500 as we have it in hitloc, but IW are stupid. It'll reset every time you play hitloc.

Thanks

I figured you will keep it, it's fine. I just need to learn to stop sniper reloading by firing (it will stop reload, but wont shoot) ;)

btw, i found out that cg_weaponcycledelay is set to 500 everytime only you spawn, so it can be changed during gameplay, maybe you want to look into that ? Maybe make hitloc force the command every tenth second or something ? or everytime player reloads..

I was going to make the screen blur if it's set to anything else, rather than dvar spam which would contribute to SCO's. Thanks for pointing it out though
