Iit appears you were right. Thanks. It still puzzles me, though, that I was able to switch weapons using those buttons but was not able to use radio chat. Even more puzzling was that the number keys did work for 7-9 despite the fact that they were not bound to anything. Also, after unbinding and doing as you said, I tried binding them like so:
bind x "slot 7"
and it actually did work. It also worked the way you said, though, just to make things clear. I'm not 100% sure which way I had it bound before, but we'll see if the problem presents itself again for some reason. I do know someone else that is having a similar problem and I'd like to see if I can't figure it all out. Thank you though.
Edit: For the second topic here, I looked at a topic I had posted months ago and you gave me the quick command for a DNA scan.
ttt_wtester_scan 1
I'm definitely going to be integrating that into my binds along with ttt_print_playercount. Could you please post in this topic the other commands listed above? I would find them to be incredibly useful. In general, avoiding the pop-up menus is a good thing; I'm currently playing without the weapon select menu and the disguiser tab, and I'd like to eliminate as many other menus as possible. People that know the game instantly get suspicious if you're walking around always facing the same direction. It's one of those obvious giveaways, much like aiming at the head.
