Stop Knife Throwing 'Weapon Switch'

[jeyl]

MOD PURPOSE: . Stop the game from switching to a different weapon slot when holding down the RMB (aiming) after throwing a knife.

 

In 1.5, players would hold the Right Mouse Button (RMB) to aim their knife and press the Left Mouse Button (LMB) to throw it. After the knife is thrown, players can still continue holding the RMB and wait for the knife to return to throw it again. For single knife users it was simple and efficient.

However, this mechanic was changed in 1.6. If the player throws a knife while still holding the RMB button, it will automatically switch to the next weapon you have equipped. This new mechanic can be bothersome because players will now have to release both mouse buttons in order to prevent the game from switching to a different weapon. This is akin to using aiming with a gun and firing it until you need to reload. But instead of V simply reloading their gun and going back to the aimed position, they switch to the next weapon in the equipped slot. Imagine trying to win the shooting range quest with those mechanics.

CDPR probably made this change to give the players the ability to go to the next equipped knife they had and throw it without interruption, but I'm one of those players who prefers to just use one knife. If there's anything else this mod could do, it could keep that mechanic of switching to your next equipped knife while holding the RMB button if and ONLY if the player had another another knife or two equipped in the weapon slots and ONLY switching to the next knife and not the next non-knife weapon. If the player only has one knife equipped, it won't switch at all. But at this point, I'd settle for just stopping the game from switching on it's own.
