Title: Humans: Reload Bug!
Post by: iamnewbie on July 21, 2009, 07:33:31 am
Hi to All,

I create a local sever..I am just wandering around doing my combo alone. Me alone for I can't and I dont know yet to add bot.  Near the machine where you could buy ammo, after I bought ammo, I accidentally press the reload button. Even though my magazin is full, 30, my magazine 6 becomes 5.

Im not sure if this is a bug or what but it seems not right at all.. I am new to this game, mayb I got something wrong. Does any body notice this too?

I have my tremulous, tremded and qvm from tjw.org. And Im running the game in Intrepid amd64 platform.




Thank you for considering this one.

I try to login to other servers online.. I still got my full magazine with 30pcs of bullets and have spare of 6 magazine. I press "R" for reload..it reloads and my spare magazine comes less one that would be 5. I continue pressing "R", my spare magazine down to zero...I waste my 30 bullets inside my magazine..nothing left..So I buy again another set of ammo, 6 magazines plus a magazine in my riffle with 30bullets loaded

Try and you'll see. If I got it wrong, sorry for false alarm...
Peace!  ;D

This is not a bug. It's just your character reloading when he's full already. There's nothing stopping you from making this mistake in real life so why not in-game? It requires less code for the reloading functions(you only have to check if you have no more clips left) and nobody ever does this anyway.

There was a big discussion on this a while ago, and I believe it got "fixed".

It's not a bug, it's a feature (http://bugzilla.icculus.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2775) !
(But that feature has been fixed on the development servers.)

@David
Thank you for the effort and letting know for the future reader of this thread. And also to the developer who fixed this bug or feature or whatever you wanna call it :) KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK PPOL!

Actually my point here is that, I know you want yourself at full (life, ammo, etc) before engaging on every encounter. Because I know you don't want to face an alien with a few ammo left in your magazine..reloading eats time, might save your life when you do reloading at proper time.

@gimhael
Thanks for pointing me out that link, I haven't hit that one.

Well, its very annoying feature and as far as I know one of it's useless kind.
You see, theres difference in realistically nice and realistically assholic.
Would be as fun if your character would need to take scat pauses in order to
improve his e-focus.
