Cocking sleeves and bolt hold-opens

[[CiA]Stiletto]

OK, this is driving me insane.

Cocking sleeves on the bolt-actions magically come back after firing. This is both creepy and disruptive, because it makes it impossible to check visually if your weapon has been fired, except for going into IS and trying to shoot.

Are you playing without hud? If not: The ammo icon stays gray in situations where you can't shoot. Usually that either means you are out of ammo or didn't work the bolt yet.

I think also if you leave the rifle alone for a second, or try to move, it'll angle down slightly to show you that you need to work the bolt.

Where it says how many magazines you have left, that'll go dark grey when you need to reload/bolt your weapon, plus the bolt on the back of the K98 moves backwards after you've shot.

Yes the cocking pece isnt suppose to relax like it does.

Yeah, it's kinda screwy.


Also, when you do go to work the bolt, the cocking piece will shoot back into place before your avatar's hand grabs and works the bolt.


Holy magic Mosins, Batman!

this was a problem even in the mod, so I hope that it can be fixed...

its an animation thing, cutting corners

Or a leftover from when you bolted automaticlly.

 

[MoFo]

that would be nice to have fixed, and after the last bullet is fired from a mauser and you try to cycle the bolt the magazine follower prevents you from closing the bolt. This is much more apparant than a damn 1/4 inch icon that dims a little bit.

bolts on SVT and G43 shoud stay open when they are empty similar to M1Garand, so they coud be even reloaded with mosin/k89 clips (which i hope we will see one time in game too, 3 magazines in your pocket, and the rest of amunition in clips, as far i know, the animation for it, was even already in the mod)

 

[Zoring]

Ah but that's not the only problem

Go into my thread here and add to the list

Oh sorry mate I wasn't trying to get antsy or anything, just must have misunderstood your original post and what part of the animation exactly you were referring to.




Well, that, and I wanted to say 'holy magic mosins batman' at least once. And now I got to do it twice, I can die happy.
