Proposal: disable or remove in-client (over)weight notifications

Post by ThinkSome »

It is my opinion that this should be handled by servers/games. Servers/games can output a chat message warning as needed, but script API might be lacking. Having this hard-coded in client puts undue burden on game designer as players will get erroneous messages if game does not penalise 50% weight or penalises it differently.

There already exists the overweight effect: yellow weight at 50% and red one at 90%. These are completely server/game-controlled.

I propose removing the in-client overweight handling or at least disabling that warning pop-up by default.

The notification in question:
