Half-Life: Faster weapon switching using 100+ aliases

This uses a different system from Half-Life’s weapon switching. It’s not a replacement for other methods, just another alternative.

Mouse wheel:
Middle Mouse toggles between scrolling through weapons like Fast Weapon Switch, and scrolling through Weapon Categories.

In both modes, when weapon inventory is open, it scrolls through it instead.

Tab and “Forward” Mouse Button (Mouse 5):
Swaps between the first two weapons of a category

Capslock and “Back” Mouse Button (Mouse 4):
Swaps between the last two weapons of a category

Q Key
Q has the function of swapping to the last selected Weapon Category, and rebinding Tab/Capslock and the above mouse buttons to its weapons. This is a replacement for Last Weapon Used (lastinv).

Other Notes:
You’ll have to set a different key from Tab to Display Multiplayer Scores.
(+showscores)

This is incompatible with Next Weapon, Previous Weapon, and Last Weapon Used.
(invnext, invprev, and lastinv).

If your forward mouse button is Mouse 4 instead of Mouse 5, and vice versa, you’ll have to flip the side mouse buttons in the config. You can do this with any text editor, with a “find” and “replace all” feature.

Example:

Find
mouse5

Replace All with
temp

Find
mouse4

Replace All with
mouse5

Find
temp

Replace All with
mouse4

Switching to Laser Tripmine will play the Snark sound

In certain situations, you’ll have to press the Capslock or “Back” Mouse Button twice to switch from Laser Tripmine to Snarks. This can’t be fixed, without altering the system.
