Automatically picking weapons
« on: March 19, 2013, 11:36:17 am »
I dont know whether such option already exists, atleast I didnt explore it yet.

This basically would be an option especially for weapon modified servers, like knife only, saw&law etc

Why i'm suggesting: it's just very annoying sometimes when you misclick a couple times in a row or often in a game whilst there only is 1 weapon you want to play with (or the server only has 1 weapon allowed)

However, There should also be some button or combination that stops the automatic picking of a weapon, because if someones does choose to pick another weapon they shouldn't have to rejoin or whatsoever.

For signatures, you are allowed only one image in your signature which may not be wider and taller than 300 and 125 pixels, and may not be over 20kB in file size. No BMPs are allowed.

I agree. When there is only one weapon in a server. There is no need to make the player waste time choosing it in the menu.


I would like a solution for normal ctf servers as well.
On some maps I just can't find a way to make a decent start.

Press TAB when dead, it'll bring back the wapon selection screen after respawn.

well yeah it does now, but it probably has to be rescripted into this suggestion I made earlier.

Don't forget you want to have some feedback when you join a server.
Else you somehow think the server picked weapons for you (and there are others you are missing).

So the best solution would be: Show weaponsmenu make it hide when you click anywhere. If you want to hide permanently for the round hit TAB.
If thats not how it works currently then it's a bug.

i definately am going to try out, but I find your solution very well aswell, just click anywhere on the screen and it dissapears, many people could easily get used to that.
