If it's not my turn, who else am I sharing my loot with??? Yes! Please! I tried removing the delay before and it caused some issues - it's mostly a safety buffer to give the server time to record your action before you do the next one. It can get pretty messy if the client and server get out of sync. I'll take another look at the code though, it may be that an acknowledgement from the server can be used to switch it to 'your turn' again ASAP. ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted Apr 30, 2013, 12:04 pm

I am no coding wizard, so my idea might not have merit, but it would seem that a solution would be to stack all the like items together on a solo scout.  This way I could take all 32 off road tires in one turn, instead of having to pick them up one at a time. ......................... vet wv deathrce1 pvp5 paintball gateautumn deathrceL1 pvp4 pvp30,4,0 Posted Apr 30, 2013, 5:44 pm

Necrotech Vendetta Inc. Darkwind Guru Mutants Faction Group: Members Posts: 1,872 Joined: Jul 18, 2011 There is a possible fly in that ointment. While you may just see 32 various tires... Each of those tires may have specific values or "health" attached to them. Now granted I have seen how it stacks cargo, but that is how it is generated from the onset, and treated as a unified data entry unless the "stack" is broken into multiple small stacks with again, differing values within the tables. ......................... vet wv santa1 deathrceL1 pvp4 gwped raceL1 combatL1 paintladder pvp3 ped2 pvp5 semiprocombat circuit2 pvp1 pvp2 slay2013 gwextrav triangle1 Posted Apr 30, 2013, 7:01 pm

This is true, but something as simple as stacking all the like components, including specific piles for each grade of tire health, would decrease total loot time.  ......................... vet wv deathrce1 pvp5 paintball gateautumn deathrceL1 pvp4 pvp30,4,0 Posted Apr 30, 2013, 8:52 pm

*Boonwolf* Finger 3 Darkwind Guru Morgan Faction Group: Marshals Posts: 1,139 Joined: Mar 7, 2012 Even if server can't distinguish solo scout Vs group scout most of us are honest and fair while looting, and will divvy it up evenly. This happens all the time when we tag a van full of drugs or gas. This would speed up groupe scout looting as also. ......................... vet wv paintball paintladder ped1 race1 semiprocombat zom marshal pvp20,5,0 Posted Apr 30, 2013, 8:58 pm

Necrotech Vendetta Inc. Darkwind Guru Mutants Faction Group: Members Posts: 1,872 Joined: Jul 18, 2011 I personally would not count on fair..... Fair is at the whims of others, and in this setting is usually quite the opposite. It's dog eat dog a lot of the time and who gets the next pick for their share. Then there idea is the of even vs not. Different people value different things. So placing of value to equate even, doesn't really work that well either. I have no issue randomized choice in looting, it's about as fair and and as even it's gonna get. Speeding up time during solo scouts... All for that. ......................... vet wv santa1 deathrceL1 pvp4 gwped raceL1 combatL1 paintladder pvp3 ped2 pvp5 semiprocombat circuit2 pvp1 pvp2 slay2013 gwextrav triangle1 Posted Apr 30, 2013, 9:20 pm

*Boonwolf* Finger 3 Darkwind Guru Morgan Faction Group: Marshals Posts: 1,139 Joined: Mar 7, 2012 Ok stacking isn't liked how about all items stay with car and can be stripped of items after we loot it. Ex. I loot Butterfly II damage of car destroyed in it contains 2 GG mags, 3 scrap 1GG 30% and all 4 tires in there many stages of damage. ......................... vet wv paintball paintladder ped1 race1 semiprocombat zom marshal pvp20,5,0 Posted Apr 30, 2013, 11:58 pm

I honestly don't like this idea but I figured I'd toss it out to the debate. Necro honestly truly if you groupe scouted and Dude took all 50 RF tires and split would any of us scout with them after word got out Dude was a loot ninja? ......................... vet wv paintball paintladder ped1 race1 semiprocombat zom marshal pvp20,5,0 Posted May 1, 2013, 12:04 am

I'll take another look at the code though, it may be that an acknowledgement from the server can be used to switch it to 'your turn' again ASAP. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the main point of talking to the server between each pick is to coordinate multiple people looting, e.g. so two people can't take the same item, to generate/enforce looting order, etc. These things are not needed for one person. If it was me, I'd check if only one person looting, and if so, simulate the conversation with the server by replacing it just in that case with a dummy function that just acknowledges and says 'your turn' again, cache everything that happened locally, and send it all to the server as one chunk at the end. You could then even do that check during group scouts and fall into that mode when only one person is left. Of course I have no idea how this is actually implemented so I may be full of it, just something I think every time I sit there and wait for it ack... ......................... vet wv pvp4 pvp2 pvp1 Posted May 1, 2013, 1:33 am

Lol I thought I was the only one who looted with OCD like you talk about Necro There's more things Sam needs to work on rather than save us 2-3 min while looting like umm yeah fixing AI tracking on some of the newer tracks.
