I want my weapons back!

SynapseSynapse Join Date: 2007-03-05 Member: 60242Members
Well, I got a problem...I can't change my weapons with number keys anymore. They make a sound when I press the keys, but nothing happens. The only way I can change weapons, is by binding next weapon to mouse wheel...even then, last weapon key doesn't work binded anywhere.

I tried stuff like : unbind 1 ; bind "1" "slot1" ....etc.

I tried to take all new config.cfg, take off all scripts, reinstalling, playing old versions...nope, always same bug.
I don't get that in other steam games, just ns...my favorite obviously >_<

So...I asked a bit in game, but people never saw prob, too busy...thx in advance

    I noticed with xenocide that you press the select weapon slot key and then have to left click once to make it active. This totally threw me off. I'd jump in a pile of marines in combat expecting to xenocide and instead land there and get shot. Is that what your are talking about?

    Oh, that must suck lol...

    Well no, that's not it...it does that all the time, I feel really noob and slow, especially aliens lol.

    I am assuming this is version 3.2.0 you have installed, correct?
  • SynapseSynapse Join Date: 2007-03-05 Member: 60242Members
    Yeah I have version 3.2 , but the bug started to happen in last version. But it didnt happen after anything new in ns, or steam. It does that in all versions...

    Guess no one knows cos this bug's just totally absurd, and no one in the world has this problem and ever will.

    Have you ever tried, for example, to write "bind &" instead of "bind 1" ?

    It certainly won't be the solution of your problem, but try...

    Try recording the game. It fixes many bugs.

    I've got bind "f3" "record 1" so that it overwrites the previous recordings.
  • SynapseSynapse Join Date: 2007-03-05 Member: 60242Members
    Ok i'll try what you guys say <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" />

    Well I tried all...nope still same problem. But, I did find out something weird that could be connected...
    I decided to go for Hud_fastswitch 0...and after, when I press weapon slots, I only see red squares, ill add a screen shot.

    I tried making a recording, that didn't help hehe, too bad.

    I still cant bind previous weapon, only next weapon, and only on mouse wheel...binding it anywhere else, it doesn't respond...even so, I don't want to change weapons with mouse wheel, its way too slow compared to my older config.


    alias +s2 "slot2"
    alias -s2 "slot1"

    alias +s3 "slot3"
    alias -s3 "slot1"

    alias +s4 "slot4"
    alias -s4 "slot1"

    What awesome fading with this config...I want it back, and have fun in my favorite fps ever...I hope something will fix it.

    Btw, I tried with script, and no script, with new config with old config...and this bug doesn't happen in other steam games...thx again[attachmentid=35609]

    Soooo, somehow, you have got absolutely no weapons in-game.
    What the hell.... that's not normal.

    I suggest you try reinstalling
  • SynapseSynapse Join Date: 2007-03-05 Member: 60242Members
    Already tried reinstalling 2 times, and 3 versions...
  • Lt_PatchLt_Patch Join Date: 2005-02-07 Member: 40286Members
    Try it without doing any of the alias binds, just by using the GUI to bind the weapons to the number keys as normal. See if it occurs then.
    Then do your alias binds, and see if you can reproduce the bug.

    Oh, and in other news, try to avoid attaching stuff directly on the forums. Use an image host, like xs.to, or imageshack
  • SynapseSynapse Join Date: 2007-03-05 Member: 60242Members
    Well I just tried right now to bind in menu...didn't work but I already tried that first time when I encountered the problem hehe
  • SynapseSynapse Join Date: 2007-03-05 Member: 60242Members
    Wow...for some reason, I just erased a line in my config.cfg, that said something like "s4" pige0n....
    and now, everything seems to be fixed, I'm not banned everywhere anymore, when I aim it kills, when I aim bad it doesn't...

    I got a little info on that line, seems to be a hook for kind of hacks...weird, I don't remember using hacks or anyone good enough with computers that used my pc to hack on ns. Anyway, that was kinda weird, but now its fixed! ^^

    Thx for all the help still <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink-fix.gif" />

    if you did not do it I suggest searching your PC for hacks and hope the VAC autoban never kicks in.

    Another reason to make the file readonly
  • SynapseSynapse Join Date: 2007-03-05 Member: 60242Members
    Well, since more than a year, I was banned almost everywhere.
    I got in servers for the first time ever, and automatically got banned often...
  • the_x5the_x5 the Xzianthian Join Date: 2004-03-02 Member: 27041Members, Constellation
    Ah ha... It now makes sense to me.



    Listen, I will explain what is really going on here.



    You see several cheats used by such game ruining *******s refered to as cheaters/hackers require a setinfo line and the default for a common public one at the time called ecstatic around October 2005 when AMXXBans was being coded for AMXX. Intended to be a CS cheat, it seemed to have worked well in Combat. Since NS didn't (and <i>still</i> doesn't, to my knowledge) have a secure hook checking program whose footprint is updated on a regular basis, and without prior warning, exposing cheaters and banning them on connection (I'm talking about VAC), this simple check was added into AMXX. So what was going on with you, Synapse, in not being able to connect to the servers is simply that the AMXX metamod plugin those server running was autobanning you due to this line in your config.cfg file.



    This also leads me to one of two conclusions (since that line doesn't just appear):

    1. You are lying and are attempting to cheat yourself.

    2. Somehow somebody added that line in your config file.

    I trust you, and my instinct tells me anyways that number two is correct. Synapse, do the following: set your config.cfg to READ ONLY. The only way I can think of that line getting there is some evil admin executing some code on your client? If that be the case that is truely sad indeed. Such admins should be banned from running a server in my opinion.

    I so agree my game is going bad since 2005 lol...but I dont remember cheating. I tried in 2003 because I wanted to see exactly what it was, but not since then. I must changed my config since, well surely I did

    I really don't know how I got that line...oh well now its gone ^^

    But now some called me hacker again, cos I can kill like before -_-...always happens I guess
