Upgrade selection problem

[Ere]

I've noticed that on my computer, when I try to select an upgrade other than the blaster (grenades, jetpacks, etc.), it cycles through all of them in a split-second before returning to the blaster.

I'm using the mac version of Tremulous, though, so maybe it's a mac problem.

Of course, it might just be my lappy's problem...

it's a known bug in the mac version of tremulous (PPC only iirc, not intel), the workaround is to bind hotkeys for all those items:

Code Select Expand


bind <key> "itemtoggle blaster" //switches between your main weapon and the blaster
bind <key> "itemact gren" // throw your grenade
bind <key> "sell gren;itemact gren;buy gren" // advanced grenade bind:
 // buy a grenade if you are at the armory, throw it otherwise
bind <key> "itemtoggle jetpack" //toggle jetpack on and off
bind <key> "itemact medkit" // medkit

replace <key> with your favorite key, and be careful with either grenade bind, having them where you can hit them accidentally is asking for trouble.

Itemtoggle blaster has problems sometimes when switching back to your main weapon.
