I scanned this board before posting this and cannot find an answer.


I am a novice marksman and novice artisan. I have built serveral different power-ups and brand new guns. When i mouse over the power ups all that i get is the Yellow Icon. All i can do is examine them and destroy them. If i hold the mouse button down, right or left, nothing happens.


Another thing that i have noticed is my power-ups have yellow text descriptions whereas everything else is blue.


I am using a logitech 4-button mouse. DoI possibly need to use a different mouse?

Are you trying to use the power up? If so just click then drag the powerup on top of the weapon you wish to power up. If that's not the case I'm not sure what is going on exactly.

Yeah, you can't 'drop' anything, if you don't want it you have to destroy it.

Yes, I would like to use the power-up. The dragging is what's hacking me off. Seems everyone else can drag and drop power-ups onto weapons but me.


What about this? Do muzzles, for example, only work on rifles? carbines? pistols? am i missing something?


thx.

I have found it's best to 'select' something else, then go to the powerup and drag it while it's not selected. It seems to make it difficult to drag once you get the brackets around the powerup.

Well, that was it. I was told to hold down my mouse button over the item and then drag it. That was a lie.


If you quickly select something and drag it, that works like a champ.


I just powered-up my dlt20a with a +22 min dmg.


thx.
