I have the option set to on from the menu, it doesn't work. I try to add lines myself in autoexec and it didn't work either. How do I get the mousewheel to work for Blood 2? Thanks.

Check out my thread :D. http://www.gog.com/forum/blood_series/use_mouse_wheel_to_change_weapons_in_ouwb
It shows you how you could get the mouse wheel to work.
That's for Blood 1, and it indeed works for that, and I have tried making a copy of that script in my blood II folder but it does nothing, I take the script needs a tweak but I have no idea what to change.

Woops sorry! I didn't realize this thread was for blood 2. I'll have to check because I think I was having a similar problem.
The mousewheel option can be enabled somewhere in the options ingame. Shouldn't be hard to find, Blood 2 had barely anything that can be changed or tweaked, therefor options menu being very small.
I don't think it's still possible. Back on these old times many mouse types had even different orientation (middle key is today right and right is today middle=scroll). Of course these ones were analog and pretty archaic. I tried enable this with various types of mouse but that no longer works for me also.

It is possible, as the mousewheel option is in the controls menu in Blood 2. I use the mousewheel, so it is indeed possible.

Not quite because the mouse-wheel option in controls menu is the one that didn't work and isn't responsible to any binding for me. Also in-game. ;-)

I know that this thread is old but since I bought the game recently and stumbled over the same problem I'd like to post one possible solution for it (since the game makes much more fun with mousewheel).

1) Download the free program GlovePIE.
2) Extract it anywhere you like and start the executable (no installation necessary).
3) Just type those two lines in the window

r=mouse.wheelup
t=mouse.wheeldown

4) Klick Run to run the script.
5) Start Blood 2
6) Assign the key "r" to "Next Weapon"
7) Assign the key "t" to "Previous Weapon"
8) Play the game

After quitting the game stop the GlovePIE script.

Instead of "r" and "t" you can use any keys you want to use for rebinding to the weapons/mousewheel.
Mouse wheel works fine for me. The option is in the mouse section of the control options.

Yes the option is there - but it is not working with every mouse as you can see in this thread.

This worked for me.

My mouse is a simple Logitech M100. I would hope your mice were just to advanced for such an old game. If they're worse then mine I would advise that you stop buying your computer hardware and accessories from Cuba. Hope u guys figure this out.

Has it ever occured to you that there might just be an incompatibility between the game and some mice? There has to be a reason that this thread even exists. And for the record: I also have a Logitech mouse (M510) and it does not work with the normal game settings but it works with GlovePIE.

Whoever stumbles upon this thread googling, the solution from Shogo section works just as fine for Blood II (both games using the same good old LithTech 1 engine): open autoexec.cfg file in your game's directory with Notepad or any text editor, and add the following line

rangebind "##mouse" "Wheel" -10000.000000 -0.100000 "NextWeapon" 0.100000 10000.000000 "PrevWeapon"

Mind that any settings changes will likely overwrite your autoexec.cfg and erase the added line, thus make sure to fiddle with your options through menus first. This command binds "next weapon" to "wheel down" and "previous" to "up", for opposite simply switch "NextWeapon" and "PrevWeapon" places.
