Got to the settings/weapons menu. Highlight "next weapon". Hit "ENTER". Scroll the wheel up or down.

Only other thing I can think of, is drivers. :shrug:

Basic setup info would be nice.

* OS?
* Mouse brand and model?
* Latest mouse drivers or default OS drivers?
* Assuming Q3, but latest patch?

"I have a problem, how do I fix it", isn't going to get any answers anytime soon, just stabs in the dark.

Open your q3config.cfg with wordpad, find the command "com_hunkmegs xx" (ctrl+f type in the box "com_hunk and hit enter)

bind MWHEELDOWN "weapnext"
bind MWHEELUP "weapprev"

and put these above that command.

by default they are set to scroll up/down anyway. for them to function correctly you may need to /in_restart in quake 3.

Alternatively, you can open quake 3, drop the console, and punch them in manually.

bind MWHEELDOWN "weapnext"

then

bind MWHEELUP "weapprev"

(without quotes if done in quake 3.)

Happy hunting.
