It's clear that the limbo menu will require big changes and that those
changes will reflect the changes that are being made on the game. But
we first need to decide exactly how to organize those changes.

As I can see it would be like this:

The player will have "W" slots for weapons and "A" for ammunition -
both values configured by the server admin. Each weapon would also
have "w" as it's required weapon losts count and each ammo pack would
have it's "a" required slots.

(During the game the player could get one weapon or it's ammuniton,
but that's another topic)

Also, each of those itens could have a weight that would be translated
into slowing down the player. Then, someone with only a knife would
run a lot faster than someone with a sniper rifle and 1000 ammo paks.
:D

So the limbo rerquires:
   . weapon selection (should we put each mod of the gun here or put
the modifications elsewhere?).
   . free weapon slots count. Only the weapons that fit on the left
slots can be selected (the other ones are still showed up, but
inactive for selection). The player could start empty-handed and would
pick the weapons during the game.
   . amount of ammo selection.
   . free ammo slots count. The ammo selection menu would have 2
arrows - one poiting up and another down. The down arrow would be
active ultill ammountOfAmmoX <= 0 and the up arrow would be active
until requiredSlotsForAmmoX > avaliableAmmoSlots.


The player could start the round without any gun or any ammo pack. He
would have to pickup something during the game. It's dumn but can make
our job a lot easier.

What do you think?
