can't switch to binoculars


(magnum_) #1

for some reason, with the new 1.02 patch, i can’t switch to binoculars at all. which is pretty bad cause i’m a fops for the most part. i thought maybe it was my config, so i checked it ingame, but it was fine. i thought maybe it was a pk3 i dled from a server without knowing it, but i deleted et completely and reinstalled with patch, still had the same problem. but when i reinstalled without the patch (playing in 1.01), i didn’t have any problems, i could switch to binocs just fine. but as soon as i installed the new patch, no binocs. sry if this has been addressed already, just direct me to the thread if it has. all ideas appreciated, thx.

Binocs have moved to weaponbank 8.

Why on earth would you switch to them?

Just use the +zoom key (/bind key +zoom) to look through them while you hold the key, and then on release be instantly back to whatever you had out.

Its much more quicker and much safer to use the +zoom,as soon as u stop watching through the bins ur back to ur SMG etc instead of having a pair of Bins in your hand,comes in handy when an enemy is nearby.

i use this script, it’s very useful (to me):

//
// Binocular-Script
//
bind "mouse3" "vstr binocular"
set bino_on "+zoom; set binocular vstr bino_off"
set bino_off "-zoom; set binocular vstr bino_on"
set binocular "vstr bino_on"
//

u go into zoom by pressing the binded button (mouse3 in my case) and go out of zoom by pressing it again!! :smiley:
