Title: Jet pack help
Post by: ninjaskillz on December 18, 2009, 02:54:14 am
Hi im very new and i use a mac. The game runs well but it wont let me select upgrades. For example if im playing human and buy the jet pack it wont let me use it i can use the rifle and blaster but it freaks out if i try to get the jet pack. I read the read me and it says this

       If you are playing on a PPC Mac, there is a bug in the cgame code that
prevents you from selecting upgrades with the mouse wheel or the [ and ]
keys.  You instead need to set up binds to use the upgrades.  To do this
open up the client console (type ~), then type the following:
  /bind n itemact gren
  /bind j itemtoggle jetpack
Hit ~ again to close the console and from then on the n key will throw
a grenade if you have one and j will turn your jetpack on and off.
Medkit is already bound to the m key and you can change this one in the
options menu.


I have no idea what this means and would really appreciate help thank you.

The simplest thing to tell you is to update your client, using Tremfusion (http://www.tremfusion.net/download/) (lots of new features), or Mercenaries Guild client (http://projects.mercenariesguild.net/projects/mgclient/files) (Never used it, but I might get yelled at if I don't include this :P ).

Also, this is in the wrong section, also you've put this in like 5 different places, all wrong.

Mods, please lock/move his threads.

that won't actually fix it, the bug is in the vms.
you're stuck binding jetpack and grenade to the keyboard:
Code: [Select]
bind j itemact jetpack
bind g itemact gren
or playing the 1.2 beta

Start tremulous, press ~ (should be below esc), type '/bind j itemtoggle jetpack' and '/bind g itemact gren' (without the ').
