Weapon menu disabling

[homerofgods]

As Curt pointed out for me: Before you have spawned you can disable the weapon menu by pressing the 'tab' button (default) But, after you have spawned you are not able to do so, and sometimes the respawn time is low.

My suggestion is therefor to make it possible to disable the weapon menu even after you have respawned. 

[DarkCrusade]

Yeah, why not? Not much of an issue, though.

[Monsteri]

Yes, f12. Not dead serious thing, but would be better like this.

[DorkeyDear]

I found this extremely annoying with climbing or near weapon-less servers (such as the multimode server) with a short respawn time.

Thank you much.

Definitely F12.
Sometimes you respawn in just 60 ticks and it's a pain in the ass. You can still use Tab by default.

O: That's all this does to you?

It's one of the most frustrating problem I encountered in soldat.
Sometimes the spawn time is so low, it's simply impossible to disable the weap menu.




F12 wholeheartedly!

So if you press weapon menu button - you'll disable it and it will never appear again during the game, and if you press weapon menu button again - weapon menu will appear next time you respawn, right?

I just wanted to stress that this is not of high importance compared to other stuff.

Actually, no other gameplay related problem (Other than weapons randomly reloading right after you spawn, or when you're just half-way through a clip), annoys me as much as this.
Speaking for myself here, of course.

That's right. You need to be able to enable it again while you're not dead, otherwise it would be impossible if respawntime= 0

[Monsteri]

I think that it should come immediatly when you press tab, it would be confusing if player pressed tab earlier and nothing comes, but when he dies it hops into the screen.

[KYnetiK]

That is why there is a console readout telling you whether the weapons menu is enabled or not Monsteri

[Polifen]

And what would you say for autoselecting weapon if there is no other choice? For example if there is only one primary and one secondary ( or no secondary at all )? Weapon menu is pointless if you can't choose anything other.

[Monsteri]

Na, no one wouldn't understand it either. ''FEECK IWANNA ANOTHER WEPIN!!''

[Polifen]

He could turn on the weaponmenu with tab then? It's just when you enter game and the weaponmenu should appear first time, it'd automatically take the only possible weap.

[KYnetiK]

Polifen makes a good point - I have found this irritating on many occasions.

If automation isnt going to be built in, I wonder if its possible for server scripts to hook into the weapons menu at all?

Not possible - as of now. But it's likely happening that Polifen's suggestion gets implemented than a change in the crapcore.

Yes! That too! f12

I would not support that because that situaion is rare, and what if you want to start with no gun at all..
You made me realise somehing though, when you join a game and get the weapons menu, you need to be forced to pick a gun for the first time.

[Polifen]

Starting without a gun is completly useless, why would you do it? You have to pick a gun now and it's fine, you're soldier and you can use weapon ( even if you just run for flags, you can spray some snipes, so they won't kill you ).
