This is...quite a tragic bug...I hope it can be fixed... You see, back in the 1.x days, it was basically set that Melee was set to 1, sidearms to 2, shotguns to 3, energy to 4, automatics to 5, and so on. I tried out the weapon, I really did, but I found the need to tap and then press fire to select a weapon, especially mid-battle, did not suit my style at all. The final straw was when I had to do so for the translocator. In fact, I had to double tap on two occasions: Once to bring it out, and when I shot it, I usually activate my camera in midair, and it still had to ask the UI first. So, I disabled it. Then, mid-battle, I had a shotgun out, and I wanted to press 2 to switch to a pistol...Instead I got...my katana? I looked at my keyboard and back at the game. I kept pressing 2, and my katana wiggled rebelliously in my hand. Then I pressed 3...and my pistol came out. Why? Was this on purpose? Was this just a casual change? Or is this not supposed to happen...? I normally scroll, but when I have specific weapons to get to, I wants to get to 'em ASAP, without looking at the top left of my screen [as awesome as the UI is, by the way =D]. Anyway to fix this? |

hmm.. crap wi'll look over this..
btw: under the BW controls, you'll find a translocator shortcut key we added that specially to skip the UI.. just replace your trans key with that

I had this same problem. The entire weapon bar is "shifted" left by one, and I have to press my superweapon button to get the katana. |

My only gripe is that it seems that using the scroll wheel isn't always reliable when needing to select a different weapon, 'specially with dual weapons; seems that it's a bit unpredictable what you'll get (Sometimes I get a switch in which weapon is in which hand, sometimes I get a pair of weaker weapons, sometimes I get a normal single weapon), so I just wish it was a bit easier to work with scrolling. Ideally, scrolling would go through the weapon selection UI, and you could click when you've got the right weapon selected. It'd be much easier to select a specific weapon that way; no having to try to get the right weapon by pressing 1-0 (Feels too slow for me anyway), and it'd be a bit more predictable than 'hoping' you get the right weapon when you scroll (Or having to wait that crucial split second later after accidentally selecting the wrong weapon via scrolling). Is there anyway to implement this? |

I noticed that when I am dual wielding, I can... "switch out of dual wielding" by holding my dual/switch button as I scroll. If I am dual wielding and have no other one-handed guns besides the ones I am using, I simply scroll to change to larger weapons, which makes sense since you can't change your secondary weapon. However, when I am dual wielding and have other one-handed weapons in my inventory besides the ones I am using, I found that I need to hold the duel/switch button to get on to other weapons (mmm, Laser-RPG. Gordan Freeman would be impressed). Once you get out of dual wielding by selecting another weapons, you can go back to selecting a single one-handed gun, but I think I've noticed I switch back to dual-wielding from a larger weapon if I switch back too soon. |
