Weapons

Post by NighTTripper »

I know how to change the primary weapons and second weapons, but don't know how to change the third set of weapons. Look at the screenshot. Numbers 1 -5 change primary (guns, on the left of screen), and 6 -0 changes secondary (missiles, top right set on the right of screen), but how do you change weapons on the bottom right set of weapons (Mines, etc.)? As you can see in the screenshot, I have 2 seeker mines active in the menu. How do I change them to another set of mines or weapons?

It's your inventory. Check the config and assign it to a key you want.

Yup, those are a part of your \"CounterMeasures\". I have countermeasures and inventory mapped to my stick's hat. (Most folks use that for sliding)

Just FYI, there are 3 different kinds of mines. Proxy, (spiky lookin things that resemble the Klingon emblem), bouncing betties (that I've never found a use for and look like brown soccer balls), and the Seeker mines which will slowly drift towards any \"hostiles\". (again, rather useless but none the less annoying and very efficient at causing lag in anarchy games.) These are what pops out of the Theif Bot when it dies.

That's the OpenGL bug. It grabbed a texture. It looks like the static texture that rotates around the shield orbs.

By reading the manual that comes as pdf on your Descent 3 CD?
