I don't like the idea of generalizing sv_shotgunstart to start with. The name of the flag makes pretty clear that it's a Doom only flag. Actually, I consider the flag to be a reminiscence of the times where one couldn't easily change the starting inventory of a player with DECORATE. It just sticks around for compatibility reasons.
Regarding the implementation, introducing a new DECORATE property with extremely limited use just to generalize this flag IMO is not a good idea. If we start adding DECORATE properties like this, we may quickly accumulate a zoo of DECORATE properties pretty much nobody will ever use. Not to mention that the name of the property (and the dmflag after generalization) doesn't make any sense, e.g. an axe is not a shotgun, neither is a crossbow. |
