Help: System Shock 2 gameplay

Hi guys 😀

After fighting to get this to run on Win7, it finally runs beautifully. And, with graphics upgrades.

However, 3 things bother me at this point.

First, when I'm in Use Mode, every time I click on an object in my inventory, my gun fires and the object in the inventory doesn't get used properly. Wasting ammo and NOT using what I want to use. Is this solvable by changing controls? How do I use objects in my inventory without firing my weapon? Is this a bug?

Second, When I want to hack something, I can right-click the panel, click the hack button, click start, but then I can't click anything but reset. I can't seem to change the box colors to line up 3 lit boxes like I'm supposed to be able to do. How the crap do you hack? I click on everything, nothing changes. Am I missing something? :|

Last, in the first level, you have to get through a secure door that you can't hack. Next to it is a body with a PDA note containing the door's key code. However, I can't seem to read it in my PDA. I see the note titled "new code" (or something to that effect) but clicking on it doesn't do anything. How do I read the note to gain access through the door?!

Thanks in advance. 🙂

Additionally, I looked up a walkthrough, found 3 codes for this first area, tried them all, and nothing happens.

I click the keypad buttons, the number appears in the sequence window above, but when I have all 5 numbers in the window (using each of the 3 codes I found in a walkthrough), the door doesn't open. There's no confirmation sound, pressing enter doesn't do anything, there's no 'submit' button, it just sits there.

Is my install borked?
 
HA. The door opened.

However, I still can't fix the whole shooting-while-in-inventory problem. Ideas?
 
To stop it from shooting when you try to use, go to options and disable free look or enable it, whatever the opposite of what your doing now is. It should turn one thing on and one thing off i think its look-spring or something like that. When i messed with those settings it fixed that issue.

However I still can't interact with notes and logs in my PDA, Ive never played this before so I am not ever sure if clicking the PDA note is how you see details about a note but I can click both buttons all day long in the PDA everywhere and it does nothing. Just like you I am currently stuck and the first door that requires a pass code. Any advice?
 
To fix the gun shot in use mode, toggle the free-look option back and forth leaving it how you wish it to work. To fix the pda issue, reload the default controls and then rebind keys as you see fit. Worked for me.
 
Wow, those both worked!

It seemed to be a pain in the ass trying to get the lookspring/free look method to fix itself, but eventually it worked. Took trying a few times.

Thanks! 😀

45100 to get through the first door 🙂

Cheers.
