I'd like to add more weapons, but as Nat says, I concentrate on improving gameplay with the limited time I have to work on the mod. But I'm always looking for new models, if anyone else has time to do them.
I have also stopped adding weapons to the shops, they are starting to get too big at high CGL's. But I found a much better, and IMHO much funnier way to add them to the game. As an example, I added the Magpul Mazada a while ago. It's the civilian semi-automatic version and I gave it to a single guy the player meets late in the game. Then I added a modular kit for Mazada/Bushmaster at a few shops. By having the Mazada and the modular kit the player can "make" the full automatic ACR version, in 5.56 and 6.8 caliber as well as an extended barrel version of the weapon. I'm planning to add a frontgrip version too, but due to engine limitation I have to find another way to upgrade it, maybe the base mechanic.
I've been hunting for the GUMID bug, but alas, I haven't found the reason for it yet. I've re-written a third of the code trying to correct it, but it's an elusive mofo. I'm starting to suspect the the GUMID issue has to do with too many new characters added, if it is there,s nothing to do about it.
The good news is that I found several other small issues while working and corrected those. There'll be few few new things in the old missions, and some things has been removed, but overall it's mostly improvements.
I've also added a few slaves, 18 to be exact. I'll prolly add a few missions for it as well, but so far the player can only buy and sell them. I'll try to lower the professionalism penalty when they are killed from 50 to 10. In my experience, making replace functions for that part of the code is a tricky thing, but I'll try.
The new merc handler system works great, iI've had some time to test it and it exceeded my expectations. The same with Skyrider, as long as I don't have to save money he's a blessing when zipping around the country looking for stuff.
