Make ammo screen turn red when low on ammo.

I like to shoot skulks that don't see me yet with pistol as it can take them out before they can react. However, pistol screen is hard to read, and if I forget to reload it after use I might take it out to snipe a skulk and then not end up killing him. Also, when sprinting the ammo screen is not shown on pistol. maybe if ammo was below 40% the screen could glow red instead of blue to tell you to reload and prevent these situations.

    Hi,

    The flashing light takes my attention from other parts of the screen that would require it more.

    I cannot find a setting in NS2+ to turn this new feature off. If you decide to keep the feature can there please be an option to turn the pulsing red light off @Mendasp‌

    It is great features are quickly integrated into the game... but it should also not go too fast ... :)

    I agree with alnair. I don't need a flashing red ammo counter. An option to turn it off would be great.

    used it in ns2+ and i like it.

    i'm curious, is it possible to see this (and the ammo counter in general) on a teammate/enemy, or is it first-person-only?

    Only first person, the display on other people's rifles is just part of the world rifle texture (always at 26 ammo!) :)

    Would this apply to the health bar as well?

    Good news, I just implemented this for NS2+
    Mendasp - implementing your problems before you voice em.

    I feel at zero though it should be solid red not flashing so quickly

    it's a good feature, but can be a bit of a distraction. just a thought, but how about if it only started flashing when you're on the last full magazine/clip/etc?

    A fading to the red would be less distracting than a flashing thing in front of your eyes.
