Stat Lookups

[evilchaseofdoom]

For some guns, such as the Black Lotus as an example don't work when you PM the NPC Server. Do you need to do an underscore for spaces or something? Also the Neo Rifle doesn't work either.

I tried the, M1 Carbine. Worked when I used "M1 Carbine" and not only: M1 Carbine

But then, I tried FN Mark 46, also "FN Mark 46" but that didn't work either. I don't know, maybe some guns isn't added there?

The system just reads from the weapons folder, Era's item system is a mess so it's not really possible to have lookups for the item name (stats are only accessible clientside).

If no weapons have spaces in lookups, you could perhaps have the system automatically parse out spaces to ease that sort of problem on the player's side.

Some do. Era's scripts are a mess.

would be nice to see an interface type thing instead of just pming the npc server. seems really sloppy.

^ What he said. Less hassle of explaining to players "Correct formats" for a lookup, user-friendly display.

And I don't really know if you can measure spread in terms of numbers, but it would be nice if it was somehow mentioned in the stat lookups. I also agree to what Frankie says btw. Plus players can look at ALL of the available guns. Great for noobs to learn which guns are what, etc.

Spread can easily be explained in degrees.

Well in that case first do a normal check, and if nothing is found remove spaces?

Spread is measured in radians. I'll try to add it soon.

Should be converted into degrees as it's more recognizable/easier to understand(better to see 90degrees than 1.57, for example).

[evilchaseofdoom]

Ya, Radians is not hard to convert, in fact I just learned this in class today. But Degrees be better for people who don't know radians.

[Demisis_P2P]

It doesn't matter anyway because you dorks aren't going to look at it and go "38 degrees is HELLA MAD SPREAD". You're going to look at it and go "this one is higher than that one, it is better".

P.S. 38 degrees is too much spread imo.
