    Zunni, you have my heart. This is exactly what people have been screaming for for months. If you can manage a weekly update, even something along the lines of 'work progressing, fixed this bug, here's a nifty screenshot', you'll kill 90% of the complaints around here. Everyone, bow down and kiss Zunni's feet. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Has the color of JP streams been changed, og has that nothing to do with beta 5 ?

    Other than that GREAT NEWS. I really like the ammo thing. It's nice not to have to drop additional ammo when someone 'rescues' the GL or HMG in the field.

    When the gun is in midair, will these ammo packs float along with it?

    In my experiences, it followed the same path as the weapon so they always landed side by side...

    yes that is what im wondering, will these be changes to the P_model? or will there be another model added in. if its a change to the p_model then when the comm drops a gun it will show the ammo there with it. or is it only going to be when someone dies or what.

    also, what about the shotgun animations? namely the shoot one. the first frame of the shoot animation for all original weapons are in the recoiled position, so the muzzleflash appears where the barrel is when its recoiled, mainly only noticable on the pistol and shotgun. also the shotgun shoot animation could use some better timing or something, seeing as how when you shoot fast it looks like your shooting at the ceiling.

    Not being the one doing the technical work, what I can tell you is when a comm drops a weapon there is just the gun. The ammo packs represent ammo above what you have in your clip (which is transfered with the gun anyway). So in answer to your question , I suspect it's a new model.

    To be more clear. If you drop a weapon with 3 bullets left, you just see the gun... If you grab 100 bullets you will see an ammo pack.
    We had to go to the armoury to get extra ammo to see the packs.

    The shotgun shells just look a bit odd in respect to the atmosphere around it; I guess as long as the cardboard packaging is made of recycled paper, we're fine.

    But otherwise, very feng shui. I'll be looking forward to new updates. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Anyway, i hope the poor comms aren't going to be made to drop the right ammo for each weapon in the field now, since nanites self create the right ammo and all ;P

    I don't see why you're complaining since they most likely weigh a measly 10 polies....

    Besides, voogru and Elven might be able to come up with some sort of solution XD

    Well, on the bright side of things they finally put it in; but it's so easy to do you have to wonder why it wasn't put in from Day 1. (Zombie Panic, DoD, and other HL mods have ammo-sharing abilities, even on death.)

    Its excellent to see this sort of thing being released to the community - now hopefully those "NS is dead, b5 will never come" smacktards will take a back seat.

    Just one suggestion - how about posting this both on the front page and in the announcements section. I know the overall effect is the same, but it helps give casual visitors the impression that this game is as vibrant, growing and pwnage as it really is.
