Server's guns

The weapon pack that you have on the server- css realistic weapons,
The way you can switch firing modes with those guns, why can't you do that with the ones on pnrp?
I would love to be able to conserve my smg ammo and kill with the single shots when i need to, and then switch into full automatic when I see an Antlion guard charging at me.

Can't you just change/copy a line of code or two from that pack to make the guns we currently
use have these kind of firing? :|
Or Is this much more complicated then I think? :?

i definately agree with this, even through the eyes of a totally non-coder person like me, it seems like a simple enough task

The weapon pack on the PNRP server is one made by Lost, so it would be more than just copy/past a few lines of code probably.

mmmmm... if it's really that difficult then don't bother, i just thought it was a good idea because SMG ammo is constantly wasted. for example, me, crazy, and orphious (and the rest of the unified zhone) share SMG ammo from our locker, right? it takes 200 boxes of SMG to supply us for about 3-4 days.. this is why i wanted single fire, so i didn't constantly have to restock xD

No i'm talking about the pack that the players cannot use- in the weapons menu it says "CSS Realistic Weapons Pack"
Each gun is set so only admins can use it.
(It used to be on the pnrp server- last I checked it was still there actually)
Unless the version i downloaded is just a newer one- the guns in that menu have multiple firing modes when you press E + Primary/ Secondary Fire.

The CSS weapon pack may still be there since we may not have removed the core files for it. Its what we used before Lost built the current one.

We will not be going back to the CSS weapon pack, one of the main reasons we created the new pack was to incorperate more of the gamemode functions into the weapons themselves, skills for example. Going back to the old pack would remove that.

Also, I did not say it was impossible, jut that it may be more than copy/pasting a line of code. We will look into this, but it may be later on since the weapon system is not one of the systems that has a planned rewrite atm.
