The general consensus on the WCFS server is that we want to use 3 claymores. I have tried to change the claymore_mp file and made all the ammo/clip settings to 3 but it doesnt seem to change it to 3 in game. Also what can I put in the config file to show obituaries in game?

Why would you want to show obituaries in the game? That defeats the purpose of hardcore mode and it makes it too easy to know when someone dies. I understand you're running your own server and I respect that but I'm just curiouse as to why?

quick answers: enough clay spam with two. press tab when you die to see who killed you. (can provide long answers if needed)

Or read the console (shift+~) for past kills.

Well perhaps he wants to use claymores as proximity alerts rather than actually causing damage with them (i.e. a laser) - and wants three instead of 2.

And if you can already see the the kill statistics in the console, why not be able to see obituaries?

You guys are the programmers, you know how to do it, why not just help him out?

Firstly, I didn't see any grilling or interrogation from the 3 posts providing responses (I saw curiosity, a quick mobile phone response from work, and another logical suggestion).

Secondly, if he wants to use them as alerts, I suggest taking lasers, that is what the were created for. Clays are for damage, 2 is plenty. We have spent a long time balancing weapons. At the moment it stays at 2 clays, if he can work out how to edit them to be 3, well so be it.

Thirdly, a quick search would have given you this answer (https://www.obscuritymod.com/forum.php?thread=190#post1172). Obituaries are hardcoded not to display onscreen as that is how we want the mod to be. It is our mod, we create it how we see fit. We do not want HUD and spam on our screens, and that is that.

Finally, we created this mod for ourselves, and are sharing it with you, we are not going to waste our time creating custom content per server or answering questions, that clearly do not need answering (or can be found by searching), as it is pretty obvious why things are the way they are. No obituaries encourages teamwork and use of squads, whilst creating tension and stress by not knowing how many enemies are alive. Clays kill when placed correct and marines do not need any more advantage when it comes to weapons. Everything that has been changed has been changed for a reason.
