Toggle weaponsmenu next times show/hide status when alive
« on: February 28, 2009, 07:05:52 am »
It happens too often:
Just after you died you want to hide the weaponsmenu but because you are alive already you cannot do that. The Tab-key doesn't work anymore. So you have to choose the weapon (even when you can choose only one weapon!) with a precise click or you get weaponsmenu pop up again.

So I suggest a possibility to toggle the weaponsmenu next show/hide state.
ctrl+tab would be fine (already got that once working in my chatMod but you know you are not supposed to use that because of BE etc.)

Yeah this can be quite annoying, although sometimes you do want to change weapon...

I think this would be a good idea for the first minute or two but after that no.

I support this idea. Sometimes respawn time is just too quick and you cannot switch weapons menu. It's really annoying.

Yes! This problem drove nuts when I had 1v1!

Even you commit suicide to close it, for some reason, you respawn too fast to close it!
