Title: Selecting items
Post by: MwM on June 29, 2006, 07:43:38 pm

Hi everybody!

i'm having problems selecting items such as grenades and the jetpacks.
When i try to select them using the bracket keys, they're selected for a fraction of a second but the selector jumps back to the previous item.
I'm using version 1.1.0 for Mac OSX

Hello  and welcome :)

You can try to "bind" the jetpack and grenade use.

Open the console with ~ (above TAB and to the left of 1)

and type:

Code: [Select]

/bind g "itemact gren" and

Code: [Select]

/bind j "itemtoggle jetpack"  
You can change g and j for anything that you find better, but J for jetapck and G for grenade seems logical for me  :P

Yeah it's a known bug in the cgame.qvm on PPC platforms.  It will be fixed in the next release.

However, you'll probably find that the binds Norf suggests are more desirable anyway.  After you accidentally nade your own base on arachnid2 while trying to jetpack up the vent in the ceiling a few times you'll know why :)
