Will you be able to buy Free Infantry if you have negative money?

Gamerz0ne doesn't make you lose negative money upon suicide.

Usually negative money is a punishment, so I think that there is no reason for changing that behavior.

Except that it costs nothing. Nothing is required to purchase it. That's like saying we can't accept gifts if we're bankrupt.

More like getting free stuff from a store only to find out you owe them whole wads of cash.

Indeed, just don't kill your teammates and/or repair the enemy and you should never get any problems with this. Razz I don't think we'll fix it because it is not important enough.

I dont think its not that players are killing there own team but something about gamezone that gives you -credits.. Im not sure about the score. In which case you should be allowed to purchase a engi when the other team is attacking your base.

It's because of crates. There's a crate that takes away your money, and if it takes away more than you have then you get negative money. This is especially troublesome when you have no refinery and are in the negative several hundreds.

Oh in that case... its the servers fault.. If you're going to have a crate like that then you might aswell as have it take all your credits completely...

Yah, they have both of those kinds of crates. I guess they haven't gotten enough complaints to get rid of the demoney crate.

Alright. I guess I'll just fix it myself then. I would have a long time ago, but I thought it was client-side... appears to be server-side though.

Thanks anyway. ^^

Viva la Resistance!
I don't know much coding, but if you have the players money as X and the money taken away as Y, wouldn't a simple logic thing like this work:


IF X < Y
Then X = 0
ELSE
X = X - Y



Well...wouldn't it be as simple as something like that?


This is a signature. Reading this is wasting your time.

I think the problem is that Rene works with .xx credits/points as well.

Well..
if (money < cost) { return 2; } // Insufficient Funds
else { return 0; } // Allow

But yes, that's exactly the problem. Westwood didn't think we'd ever have negative money. But I still have to find the location that rejects it. Haven't so far!

Like I told you, I looked in only one place, Purchase_Item. I was too lazy to look in the individual purchase functions. Razz

But since you so insist, I will now. <.<
