Monster/Ammo ratios

Posted By: Aaron Sikes Date: 9/8/06 2:38 p.m.

This might be my OCD acting up on me, but I'm wondering if anyone has or knows of a "rule" for placing monsters and ammo in a map. I'm thinking of a "rounds or magazines per critter" guideline that would help me put a physics file together so that it's balanced. I don't want the player to have to hunt for ammo or be forced to resort to fists. Nor do I want there to be a deluge of magazines so the player can happily hose drones with SPNK-R rounds.
I haven't dug through Hastur's workshop thoroughly, so if there's something in there just give me a heads-up.
Thanks!
