[Resolved] Allow player choice of "Put away weapons" behavior

[AluminumHaste]

Probably didn't make it into this beta, but it will be

 

#6232. Changed "Put Away Weapons" to "Sheathe Weapon" in key binding name.
#6232. Renamed cvar to tdm_toggle_sheathe.
#6232. Added "Toggle Sheathe" option in Controls menu.

Okay, so this is your personal patch, but why can't it be added into the beta itself? Or will this happen as well?

I wrote "Finalized version as of 2.11 beta 7" to mean both the implementation details are complete and the feature is included in 2.11 beta 7. Changes were made to both the source code and core assets.

As long as you have 2.11 beta 7 installed, you can use "Toggle Sheathe" (tdm_toggle_sheathe). No patch is necessary for 2.11 beta 7 and above.

Very cool! But how did you manage to get this into the core game so fast, while whatever snatcher or myself introduce never is considered for the core game, even as an optional feature like you provided ;)?

Daft Mugi not only makes suggestions and participates in the conversation but also creates, tests and commits (shares) ready-patches.

By the way, I don't want each and every mod or occurrence - including mine - to be part of the core game. I crave for a thriving modding scene alongside mapping.

Also as far as I know, the game used to work this way, and was changed at some point.

So really it's not a new feature but reverting the default back to the way it used to be, and also to be in line with other games like this.

That makes sense, and I agree with snatcher, if everything would end up in the core game, our patches and mods would not be needed anymore :)!
