I am currently having a problem using my mouse wheel for weapon select. I have hud_fastswitch set to "1'; MouseWheelUp takes me to the next weapon, MouseWheelDown to the previous.
When I use MouseWheelUp, everything works as expected.
When I use MouseWheelDown, the games acts as if hud_fastswitch is off. It plays the animation in the upper right that shows you what is in the slot. As an example, this is a typical scenario
AS MARINE (as I remember what those slots are)
I am currently on MG
I scroll down and can see pistol highlighted
I scroll up and immediately am given the knife
I fire, the pistol gets selected.
Any ideas?

if you set mouse wheel up to next wep.
it sets mwheelup "impulse 1"
if you set mouse wheel down to prev wep.
it sets mwheeldown "invprev"
the impulse 1 works as you want it too, goes to the next weapon ready for firing.
other HL games use invnext (instead of impulse 1) which works like invprev.
invprev is the way you dont want it to work - you need to select it.
i have no idea why impulse 1 is used in NS or why there isnt another impulse for previous weapon.
there are a few ways around it.
1. rebind your keys so you dont use next/prev weapon
eg.
mouse1 -> slot1
mouse2 -> slot2
mouse3 -> slot3
mouse4 -> slot4
2. put this in userconfig.cfg
alias "invGoDOWN" "invprev;+attack;wait;-attack"
alias "invGoUP" "invnext;+attack;wait;-attack"
bind "MWHEELDOWN" "invGoDOWN"
bind "MWHEELUP" "invGoUP"
note: you may get a very very slight delay in switching weapons.
i went for option 1, but i tried 2 first - i suggest you do the same.
if you have any problems plz post here again
Thanks!
mouse 1: attack
mouse 2: menu
mouse 3: reload
mouse 4: not assigned (its the scroll wheel as a button)
wheel up and down: weapon select.
Let's say I go:
Mouse 1: Slot 1
Mouse 2: Slot 2 etc
How would I fire?

None of that is going to much good because most pub servers have blockscripts. I use to use a script for selecting weapons fast without clicking as well but I went back to using just invprev and invnext because of the blockscripts <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

sorry, i made a mistake in what i said. i suggest you try this:
mouse 1 - attack - LMB
mouse 2 - slot1 - RMB
mouse 3 - slot2 - MWheelUP
mouse 4 - slot3 - MWheeldown
mouse 5 - slot4 - mouse whell button
the bottom 3 you probably want to switch around till you feel comfortable.
NOTE: make sure you have hud_fastswitch 1.
for menu, and reload try using keyboard buttons.
i have a logitech Mx700 which has 5 more buttons so i can map them so i have my mouse wheel for bunny hopping.
about the blockscripts thing - if you do go on servers with this enabled (which i dont) then you cant use the script i said about ealier. i have heard of simple ways around blockscripts (which dont involve hacking) on this forum - but i havent tried them.
The most simple solution to this is to simply delete the " Config.cfg " file in the \half-life\ns directory.
Problem solved.

2. put this in userconfig.cfg
alias "invGoDOWN" "invprev;+attack;wait;-attack"
alias "invGoUP" "invnext;+attack;wait;-attack"
bind "MWHEELDOWN" "invGoDOWN"
bind "MWHEELUP" "invGoUP"

It should work fine on BS servers as it is neither spaming a + command nor firing 2 commands at once.
I think. :S
