Topic: Remove empty guns from mouse wheel selection

Hi!

I think empty guns should not be selectable using the mouse wheel (previous/next weapon). People who use the mouse wheel to switch weapons often have to go through a number of empty, useless weapons.

Empty guns are good for two reasons:

1: The enemy can hear the "click" sound, when the weapon is empty.
2: You may want to frigthen the enemy off, for example by pretending to have a loaded laser gun.

Point 1 is not affected by my proposal.
Point 2 could still be done by pressing the weapon key to select it directly.

As far as I see it, this could be implemented in about one minute, by just advancing the selected weapon index until it reaches a weapon which still has ammo wink

Re: Remove empty guns from mouse wheel selection

1. Mousewheel sucks in my opinion but if you want to use it, do it.
2. Your idea is nice. But this should be optional because some people like me may not like it! wink

It could me made optional by introducing two new actions: "Next loaded weapon" and "Previous loaded weapon". You could then bind them to the mouse wheel instead of the old actions "Next weapon" and "Previous weapon".

I also think that there should be an option to drop weapons without ammos (besides the pistol obviously). It should be an option, because sometimes having an empty weapon is still useful for the scare effect, ie making your opponent believe you still have ammos.

I think, that there should be option to drop any weapon (with ammo, too). Dropped weapon, also, should disappear in 10-20 seconds. That will be useful for delivering weapons to defenders..

No, because you wouldn't hear the "click" sound any more, when the weapon is empty.
