[Feature request] Show external weapons in F3 lab.
on: September 17, 2012, 01:21:07 pm
Basically what it says in the title. It would be very cool if it was possible to show (and even toggle on/off) external weapons in the F3 lab. Obviously showing only the default loadout as specified in the tables, I'm not trying to make it dynamic as you switch weapons or anything.

The idea being, what you see in the F3 lab is this :




What it would look like is more like this :



I think that illustrates pretty well how awesome it would be to have that, especially for my current wiki-updating quest :).

This would also help with checking if the loadout actually fits onto the rails. I support it.

does this happen in the loadout screen yet?
I can no longer sit back and allow communist infiltration, communist indoctrination, communist subversion, and the international communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.

AFAIK the loadout screen is, like, a completely different code from the lab. So, I don't think so.

Not at all. I don't even know where the relevant code is located...

As MatthTheGeek said the Lab code is quite different from how things are handled in other parts of the game.

a shame, that would be incredibly useful and look cool to boot.

Here is my patch for external weapons in the F3 lab so you can review and commit it if it's fine.

I can't see how that should be very useful. Though it would look great for sure.

You download FS source with tortoise SVN, use said software to apply the patch and then you compile your very own custom build with a compiler. Each step is described somewhere on this forum or on the internet.
Oh guys, use that [ url ][ img ][ /img ][ /url ] :/
