I've only noticed this with the barret but it may happen for other guns too...

I had a modified weapons.ini with Barret set at 4 ammo and I joined an online game which was using default weapon settings. Whenever I chose Barret, it spawned with 4 ammo loaded instead of 10 and I had to reload to get the full amount. This happened to Ville too who was only using 1 ammo :o

Yey I thought you would never find a serious bug ;).

mmh does it work if you have higher ammo than set on the server (means: you need to reload after 12 instead of 10 shots etc)?

Cause if you cant have a higher ammo than the server set, I wouldnt call it that serious, in case youd call worsening a gun cheating ^^

needs to be fixed though

HAHAHA.. Michal - 10, Stalky - 0

;_;

I'm gonna test this with different values now, gimme 5 minutes.

EDIT: Ok, this ammo problem happens for all guns (I think). Also, if you set a gun to have more ammo than normal, it spawns with that amount of ammo, then realises its wrong and automatically reloads (o_o).

On a side note, if you have a modified weapons.ini locally and join a server which has default weapons, it still says the server has modified weapons, and you get the weapon stats on the weap menu. (Even though the weapons are default settings)

OK. Check it more if you can abuse the modded weapons. And please check if the server might kick for some reason with modded weapons.

Also found that some setting on your weapons.ini still work on a server with other settings

I changed the chainsaw to an LAW bullet type and increased the speed(distance) a bit. So it shot rockets that exploded in 1 meter or so, but on the server the explosion didnt hurt me but gave me a huge boost.
here's a movie to illustrate it : http://www.denacke.net/matthi/temp/omg.mpg

The chainsaw still worked as a normal chainsaw to hurt the other players (bots in my case) and after i died and respawned the chainsaw was normal again.

here's the chainsaw stats:
[CODE]
[Chainsaw]
Damage=15000
FireInterval=5
Ammo=30
ReloadTime=5
Speed=-180
BulletStyle=12
StartUpTime=0
Bink=0
MovementAcc=1[/CODE]
It only started a vote kick by server for cheating when i added a bot (boogie man) that also used chainsaw.

Wow that's pretty cool ;).

HAHAHAHA that kicks ass :)
Best abuse ever ;)

Ville managed to use this exploding saw to jet around my server, and got floodkicked 30 seconds later.
