Summary0001377: Picking up arrow changes selected weapon
DescriptionEvery time I pick up an arrow my bow comes out. Kind of annoying since it makes my lightgem brighten up. What if I picked up a fire arrow while there were guards around? I don't think picking up a weapon should change your currently selected weapon for that reason.

Didn't this happen in Thief?

Prehaps an alterative to this could be pressing the equip key which wouldn't auto-use the arrow. I know it sounds counter intuitive, but just talking my thought.

This is an option which can be turned off via a CVAR: tdm_frob_ammo_selects_weapon (defaults to 1).

We can add an option to the Settings GUI.

Sounds good. Kind of like most FPS give you the option of autoswitch weapons on pickup.

Shall we make this cvar default to zero?

I'd say go ahead. I like the idea of having the option in the settings GUI.

I'm sure turning mine to zero. :)

So we don't lose focus here: should this issue now takeover for adding it to the GUI?

Default is now zero. Theoretically you shouldn't have to change yours to zero, since it's not archived, but you might want to doublecheck if it somehow appears in DoomConfig.cfg just in case.
