Aside from the fact that not having shell casing laying around aint a big deal, wouldn't this put a strain on the server?

AutumnTwilight

It actually cleans up shells every 5 minutes, and the strain shouldn't be that heavy, as most ZP maps aren't loaded with tons of ammo. However, we're keeping an eye on it to see how it plays out.

Our hope was that it would add a fair amount of atmosphere to the game with a pretty insignificant CPU hit. This way you can wander into a room, see bodies, shotgun shells, and .45 slug casings everywhere, and it tells it's own story. At least, that's the idea. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
