<div class="IPBDescription">Unable to switch weapons.</div> Resolved: Noticed joev's steam beta installer which fixed my problem. I had been installing from the standard won NS release.
I apologize for the generic thread topic. Size limitations were making it difficult to convey the problem.
Problem Description:
I have a successfully, more or less, working copy of natural selection 2.1 installed into steam. It will run and connect to a steam natural selection server. The problem is, when I attempt to switch weapons, no matter which slot weapon I attempt to select, I always select the lmg. Every time I attempt to select a different weapon, for instance, the pistol, NS plays the reload animation for the lmg, then selects it, regardless of whether or not the weapon has "room" or "ammunition" for a reload.
Steps I've taken to fix it:
1.) I've experimented with all the related fixes posted to the tech support forum in the thread "Explict Instruction on How to Play NS in steam." This thread successfully cleared up many problems I experienced with NS steam, but it doesn't seem to cover this problem.
2.) Attempted to switch weapons to the pistol, then attempted to "lastinv" to the pistol. Same result as described above.
System Specs:
WIN2K SP3
P4 1.4 ghz
Geforce 2 GTS 32 mb
384 MB ram
Running NS in:
OpenGL 1024 x 768
EAX off
Relevant portions of my config.cfg:
//weapon selection binds
bind "1" "slot1"
bind "2" "slot2"
bind "3" "slot3"
bind "4" "slot4"
//other binds
bind "q" "lastinv"
bind "r" "+reload"
bind "MOUSE1" "+attack"
bind "MOUSE2" "+popupmenu"
//settings
hud_fastswitch "1"
Recap:
I'm unable to switch from the lmg to any other weapon. The problem seems to stem from NS believing that the lmg is what is should select for each weapon slot.
I hope I've written a clear, concise support request. If any further information would be of use, please let me know and I will update this.
edit: forgot a few sundry details.
