I don't see how that's hard to understand why any freedom would be wanted. > not even comparable i literally just compared them... idk man just seems silly to me that people RP their combat pistol as a browning HP and then it gets stolen and magically turns into a FN Five Seven or something Link to comment
Storm Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 "What type of pistol is that? Oh its a pistol. Yeah, what kind? A pistol." I'm happy that pretty much everyone roleplays their weapon as being a real life model and while I don't see it as a huge issue that they're still referenced as their base game names for the purposes of the inventory etc. I feel like it would be a nice change to be able to set the name of your weapon to identify what it is just like you can with drugs etc. Link to comment

That's not what that means. It's also silly to close off an entire industry to people. The guns are left vague on purpose. When it comes to weapons, the server doesn't care about realism. There are enough machine guns on the street to make a war zone jealous, and management won't even allow semi automatic rifles for fear of mall rat death squads with rifles. Which could be solved by banning them, but nah - too much. And as much I would love to see a robust selection of guns to choose from with different makes and models, it's not going to be practical. People are going to want different stuff. People are gonna want super niche stuff. And while I think that's how it should be, ultimately they'll say because of the file sizes. Nobody is going to want to download 5 gigs of just guns. Link to comment

Mescalero Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Just implement something like /setgunname, problem solved. There aren't enough add-on firearms to cover this suggestion. Link to comment

It'd be subject to moderation if seen being misused just like drugs and anything else. If you buy a gun that looks off or doesn't resemble what its named as just report and allow admins to be able to reset the weapon name. Link to comment

Allow for custom weapon names similar to the current drug system to allow people roleplaying their firearm model as they wish without being excessively restrictive with one name for one gun at a variety of 6-8 different handguns.

They're the exception, not the precedent. This. This. This. The ideal would be enough lore guns to use fully lore brand names + models so we could stop using irl brands and models. There would be a guide on the forums explaining the IRL equivalents to the lore brands and models to give people an idea of how to roleplay each model, but it'd all be lore. But no, we have Combat Pistol, Standard Pistol, Glock, and Sig. And the other guns, with their silly names. Edited June 3, 2021 by u10sil 1 Link to comment
