Thanks for the detailed info. Makes it MUCH easier for the devs to try and find the problem if there is a step by step guide to re-creating the problem

Keep in mind, this is with Ballistic Weapons mixed in with Junkwars, both weapons available on the field. I tried this alone, and this is what happened. I picked up a couple of weapons until I had: Skrith Blade (Slot 1) Some Junk (Slot 1) Some Junk (Slot 3) Skrith Rifle (Slot 4) Skrith Pistol (Slot 4) Some Junk (Slot 4) M50 Assault Rifle (Slot 5) So I had 4 normal weapons, and a bunch of junk which was in 3 seperate slots. When I scroll down with the mousewheel, which I use as NextWeapon, this is the order that things scroll in Skritgh Blades Slot 1 junk (all of them, sometimes stuck between Shank and the rest of the slot 1 junk) Beer Bottle (Slot 3) Skrith Rifle Skrith Pistol Baseball Bat (Slot 4) M50 Assault Rifle. Repeat Cycle If I start from the M50 Assault Rifle and scroll up (PreviousWeapon), I get this: M50 Bat S. Pistol S. Rifle Beer Bottle Skrith Blades M50 So yes...and like I said before, sometimes if I try scrolling quickly, while I have more than 2 pieces of junk in the same slot, it'll get stuck on a weapon [It'll say "Beer Bottle", but keep me on Shank, for example]. Try to look into this...But awesome mod, otherwise. |

The code for cycling when junk is involved is some of the most confusing, complicated and horrible code in the whole JW mod! I'll take a quick swig of vodka, then charge back in roaring like a maniac! |

Can I suggest you make all junk 1 slot [Or make it an option to do that, like how BW has it's own grouping option], and then cycling can be done with Reload, and disabled by NextWeapon/PreviousWeapon... |

For what it's worth, I only got stuck once (on hockey stick, could have been some kind of freak accident) since the last private beta, and not at all since the public release -- at least a dozen or so mixed JW/BW games, with several other muts enabled. So as far as I'm concerned the current system works just fine... On a related note, I'm still impressed by how well the bots combine junk and BW stuff, and how much the AI has generally improved. Nice job. If this forum had a thumbs up icon, you'd be getting one now!

I got stuck a lot in the test games with my friend, and nothing seemed to be in the right order. I got every symptom mentioned, and so did my friend. I had an idea similar to original half life scroll menu where u can have little boxes stacked for each category so it makes it easier to see what you have, to get to what u have and generally much better aesthetics than the crazy crowded menu now. I know that would be calling for a menu code rewrite which would be quite a lotta code but its just an idea  ^^
If anyone hasnt seen the Halflife scroll menu lemme know and Ill see if I cant find a good pic |

I had the very same idea, long time before this mod even existed. I wonder if this could be made in a future version. |

It would be cool only thing would be that it would scroll up (since the weapons menu is at the bottom). |

I remember some users on my server Had the same prob with Mixing Jw/Bw... My Take?: "You gotta Keep'em Separated!" |

My tho cents: Cent no1: this only happens to me when I scroll to fast between weapons. If I wait for them to be drawn, I never get stuck (though this isn't what I call ideal). Cent no2: the best weapon menu I've ever seen was Unreal ][ 's. It had a few subgroups with (about 3) weapons of the same function, between wich you could switch quickly after pressing either number 1 through 5. That combined with the HL2 selection system would be, imho, the perfect weapon selection method. |
