Summary0001193: Allow inventory dropping in any game modes
DescriptionCurrently, inventory dropping with drop console command is explicitly disallowed in game modes different from cooperative, suvival and invasion (GMF_COOPERATIVE). I see no reason why it should be so. Only mod authors and server admins should decide whether this option should be on or off. What about me, I wish inventory dropping in my Infected Horde so humans could share ammo and drop undesired weapons to pickup more powerful. I see no way to implement that into Decorate nor into ACS.

 Maybe have a GAMEMODE flag for this?

 But I still question why we need it if there is more easily to configure CVAR sv_nodrop (or something like that)? So I'd say "no" to your question.

 If it is needed for a mod, wouldn't a feature to an editing lump work best? o_O

 I agree with Dusk. Changing text is easy enough.

Also I hardly believe there's not a reason for that. Maybe it caused serious problems in the past with some wads? In any case, I believe Torr knows the answer for that.

 I disabled this more than four and a half years ago (just checked the commit logs), but forgot what the actual reason was. I guess there was a discussion regarding this on the forums back then...

 Three months after the sv_nodrop CVAR was added. To be quite honest I don't see much reason in hardcoding a ban of inventory drops in nnn-coop gamemodes since the server can control this as well. Though what baffles me is the relatively short duration between the two changes.

 Probably people didn't like that dropping was enabled in competitive game modes by default.

 So what is the status of the request? What's preventing it from being done?
