A More Linear Gun / Item Scroll List

mutator · Jan 11, 2011

hey all,

i like this game alot and i have a suggestion for it.

its about the weapon / item list that is used in game to scroll through weapons and items:

i don't like how its in 2 rows and does not navigate in a linear fashion.

my suggestion is to have all weapons and items in one single line (even if the item pictures need to be resized smaller for it to fit)

would make scrolling through guns and items so much easier i think.

it may just be my personal preference but i think it would improve the game more , what do you's think ?

peace

Is this in the trader? Or using the scrollwheel?

using the scroll wheel

i don't like reaching for number keys 1,2,3,4 to try and change weapons when im moving around

I think he means moving ALL guns/melee weapons into ONE SINGLE slot.

Then I support any renovation to the scrollwheel being upgraded. Every time I install KF, I turn it off instantly because it's dire.

I have never really had a use for the scrollwheel, but if it helps the guys stick a needle in my *** to save it, then by all means, fix it up.

IMO scroll should authomatically change weapons, like next/previous weapon.

That's how it was in mod, but then you had to wait for the animation to begin to see what it was and then continue scrolling. Still I do like it better then the scroll wheel now, but I don't end up using it anyway.

They should hav a option for fast-switch so when you toggle it on it will automatically change weapons when you move your mousescroll

thanks for the input so far people

i was more suggesting just redesigning the weapon menu that the mouse scroll currently activates into just 1 straight row of weapons and items.

i don't like how its in 2 rows and navigates through them from top to bottom and across or vice versa.

i also agree with the above suggestions about having a option to have the mouse scroll wheel change weapons automatically also

i don't mind the menu now too much, but i always wondered what might happen if there was a quick switch button - hit e or some such key to switch twixt your current and previous weapon. Personally, i'd also love to see the syringe get its own key. does it have an alt fire? if not, its alt fire should be heal self and Q should simply be used to pull out the syringe. IMO.

This could work ^ Also, I don't think we'd bump into the problem that Akame mentioned because you can still switch to the other weapon mid-animation.

halbridious · Jan 18, 2011

my only problem with that is switching like that takes more time than i like, and i don't like my screen blurring. so i think that the auto-switch when scrolling should have a half second delay - scroll, and the one u stop on gets switched to.

What's the point in implementing such a feature when it's quicker and more reliable to just use the number keys?

i hate using the keys. i do, cause thats the fast way, but in other games (cod, battlefield, borderlands) i have my gun rotation set up via mouse wheel, and i know that 3 clicks up is my handgun and 1 click down is my sniper. I want that in a fast game like kf.

It's all down to personal preference really.

Sammers · Jan 18, 2011

There are buttons for nextweapon and previousweapon, can't people just bind those to the mousewheel?

It makes sense in these games, but in KF your weapon list may be changing all the time as you buy/sell pick up/drop stuff, so the amount of clicks will be different all the time.

I have prevweapon assigned to down, and switch to knife assign to up (which doesn't work online when you spawn with a weapon for some reason). Works pretty well.
