The weapons' magazines should be "ragdolls" like in the old versions e.g. in 1.05b. Pretty small idea but still would be nice.

u mean dropped clips could refill your ammo? or just stay there for the rest of the game after they are dropped?

explain it again so other species than monkeys can understand it.

I think he means when they bounce around, they would also rotate, like the health and grenade boxes do. But yeah, I don't see the point of this either.

Oh yeah, BManx2000 is right, they should roll around when they hit the floor. That's what I meant. ;)

This is really simple, but i'd like too see it.

It's kinda dumb how they don't move at all when they hit the ground.

In fact, they should already be rotating in the air when they're ejected out like weapon images.

No they aren't. But in the older versions they were rotating into other directions. It would be nice to know why that was removed, also I'd like to see it again. ;)

The problem is: the clip will roate and bounce based on the entire clip file, including the green "invisble parts" so it would look weird to see a clip bounce off an invible edge. It's the same reason that the colt and the deagle have the "n-" images for when they are discarded, so it would bounce properly. 8)

Yeah, so all the clips would have to have the n- files too in weapons-gfx. ;)

The problem about the deagles ammo clips, is that one of the graphics isn't used, and the one that is used is off by about a pixel. Yes compulsive obsessive disorder.

Rotating grenades would also be nice. Just imagine: Exploding coasters!

Sorry to get off topic but i'm sick of seeing words misused. Now READ.

Clip: A metal frame or strip that holds a strip of cartridges to be loaded into an automatic rifle or pistol.

Magazine: A box used for carrying ammunition. Contains a spring that assists in loading bullets into a gun for firing.

You guys are talking about magazines. A magazine and a clip are different. Do not get them mixed up!

Bah you beat me to it green. But I don't really see the point of this because in the confusion of battle I'm not really looking at the magazines but rather where my target is.

I knew that Green Barret. It's almost the same thing.

EDIT: I changed the topic's name. :\

Saw a pic showing the same thing for counterstrike.
I like this idea though.

Yeah, it's simple, but I think it would add a lot.
