Ammo System Update (Part. 1)
Added 2023-06-26 19:12:04 +0000 UTCHi!
Here's the first update related to ammo system progress.
I have implement item stacking to the game and currently it's activated only for ammunition items. This means that when you pickup ammo boxes they will automatically stack in your inventory.
After stacking was done, I updated the weapon UI in order to support the ammo system. The approach that I decided to take with this first iteration is to link the ammo stack to the magazine slot and there will be an indicator to show if you have compatible ammo / caliber in you inventory to the current weapon system.
This isn't the most advanced approach obviously but it's more than enough for Public Demo 2 and through some small tutorial this system should also be pretty easy to learn without prior knowledge of the game.
On top of this, I added weapon stats slot to the UI and updated few icons to highlight better their purpose (rail move & reticle brightness).
There's still a lot of work and testing needed for this system but I'm quite happy with the initial progress.

nice work ... do you plan to add stacking for crafting materials, medicals, consumables too? I can enjoy both Versions but especially Crafting Materials feel clunky if they fill up your inventory during a loot run. Meds ans Consumables should not stack since it's a Hardcore Game, i think.

2023-06-26 22:47:15 +0000 UTCStats look like durability, weight, accuracy, vertical recoil, horizontal recoil. Is this correct? I love your approach to UI. Everything is in boxes and organized in a very functional manner. From the inventory UI to the Weapon UI. I just love the straight forward and clean/slick look to everything.

2023-06-26 20:27:46 +0000 UTCIs there gonna be a way to split the item stacks similar to how stalker puts clumps of ammo in a stack?
