Static screen when choosing weapons
« on: October 03, 2014, 12:05:49 pm »
What's the goal of the movement when you're changing weapon? I never knew...

So why you don't freeze the screen when the player is changing the weapon? That's my suggestion ;D

F11, it's better to see than not to see :D it can be helpful on number of occasions, it's good to know what's happenign around you even when you're selecting weapons

You are not able to walk without picking a weapon I would understand more the need to move the camera, but you can't even jump or use jet before the weapon is chosen, so you might aswell disable screen movement aswell.

I have a suggestion that might go well with such a change:

I suggest to add Primary weapon here aswell, and maybe an option to disable weapons menu by default

Please add that. F12
Yes I know it's one more element into the menu. But it's so worth it.

I'll ignore the offtopic suggestion (hint link to a new thread with suggestion) as this is about static menu only

The reason why it isn't static is probably because it worked like that without any additional changes.
The other thing is that it is the same for any ingame menu, isn't it? Camera moves when they are open and it would be weird if it didn't move for say the F1 menu.

What's the advantage to freeze it for weapons menu only?
The camera would jump suddenly when you choose a weapon depending on where your mouse was when the weapons menu appeared.

Yeah, I don't see the point of freezing the camera. It's not like moving camera is doing any harm, and I think it looks more interesting visually than a static camera.
