Hi,
This is my first post to the forums, and might sound like a noobish request ..but it really has me stumped. <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif' /><!--endemo-->
I used to play NS fine on my old computer, but I just got a brand new one (yea! no more 600mhz 15 fps nonsense!). Now I get this problem:
I have Mwheelup and mwheeldown set as my "previous weapon" and "next weapon keys," respectively. When i scroll up one notch on the mousewheel it cycles to my previous weapon, I click Mouse1 once, see the different attack icon in the top left corner of my HUD, and that weapon is now active.
That's fine.
However, if I click down one notch on the mousewheel I appear to be cycling through my weapons, but no icon shows on the HUD and it cycles automatically, without a mouse1 click for confirmation. This is the problem. Is there a way to set the "next weapon" so it will show the weapon on my HUD and require a Mouse1 click to confirm the switch?
There are no other commands bond to the mousewheel, and i've tried enabling and disabling the "weapon fast switch" box found under advanced options. I have lastinv bound to mouse3 now so that helps alleviate the problem a bit, but I'd prefer to get my controls back to the way they used to be, if anyone has any suggestions.

open up your config.cfg
Find the bindings for mwheelup and mwheeldown, they SHOULD look rather different, just mkae them similar (like lastiv nextinv or something like that)
I don't remember the exact comands atm, so your gona have to do some poking your self.

In case anyone else has this problem here is a clarification of what exactly to fix in the config.cfg file...
Here is a chunk of my config.cfg file before the fix:
bind "MWHEELDOWN" "impulse 1"
bind "MWHEELUP" "invprev"
bind "MOUSE1" "+attack"
bind "MOUSE2" "+popupmenu"
bind "MOUSE3" "lastinv"
and here is the correct entry to replace for MWHEELDOWN:
bind "MWHEELDOWN" "invnext"
