SelectThis 0 Posted June 11, 2003 What we are planning on doing allowing for weapons that can swap magazines in RL to be able to do so in OFP. WHat this will mean however is a loss of the weapon name in the ammo section (top left corner of screen).. ie instead of reading M4 Semi or M4 Auto it will now say something like "Rifle Semi" or "Rifle Auto". For weapons that don't have swappable mags (eg M14) we can keep the naming in the ammo section "M14 Semi"...unless people want some consistency?

9mm 0 Posted June 11, 2003 Pretty obvious, indeed... However, as it was said few posts earlier, I guess that having a caliber discription like eg. "5.45mm Auto" would be better looking one than "Rifle Auto". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eviscerator 0 Posted June 11, 2003 Anyone elses opinions on what we should use? Either: "<Ammunition name> <Fire Mode>" So it would look like: "5.56x45mm Single" Or: "<Weapon Type> <Fire Mode>" So it would look like: "Rifle Single" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tankieboy 0 Posted June 11, 2003 Go for 5.56, 7.62, etc Its more 'Army speak' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted June 11, 2003 Yeah I second that. Calibre tends to imply the type of weapon anyway, but it's more specific (what if you have more than one rifle?). 5.56x45mm is better IMHO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hellfish6 7 Posted June 15, 2003 I just thought of asking this now, but is there a possibility to see high dispersal ammunition standardized as well? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We will be creating a normal and a HD version of all the magazines included (although obviously not pistols/sniper rifles/40mm grenades). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

earl 0 Posted June 15, 2003 For common mags, I like the idea of: 5.56mm 30rnd [sEMI/BURST/AUTO] 5.56mm 20rnd 5.56mm CMAG 5.56mm 100rnd (cloth SAW pouch) 5.56mm 200rnd etc. Someone with an M4 won't see M16 mags, they will be different because of the different trigger groups, but I think we should still keep the 'visible name' the same (5.56mm 30rnd).

MLF 0 Posted June 29, 2003 Great news, but a question, could jam be also used for Vehicle weapons? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eviscerator 0 Posted June 29, 2003 Great news, but a question, could jam be also used for Vehicle weapons? Erm, not really much of a point to be honest, as you cant pick up the weapons of a vehicle...so it would just be a standard weapon cpp, which tbh isnt what jam is about, its primarily about making all the infantry as compatible as possible, adding in all the various vehicle weapons would take forever.
