Restricting Items by level or difficulty?

[Arkayzy]

Hi there. Not sure if this is possible server-side, but just curious. Is it possible to restrict items on a per-difficulty (or character level) basis?

For example:

1. You can't equip a mag over level 50 while in Normal mode.
2. You can't equip a v101 unless you're in Ultimate.
3. Below level 20, you can only use 50 materials.

I have some interesting ideas for the lower difficulties, but only if mags, units, and material usage can be restricted in some way.

This kind of thing is controlled by the client, so the server can't do much about it without desyncing gameplay pretty badly. It's definitely possible to write a client patch to do this; fortunately, all of the logic that determines whether something is usable is in a single function, so finding the location is relatively straightforward. It's still a fair amount more work than a server-side change would be (if that were possible).

Figured as much. Thanks for letting me know!
