Idea - Multi Key Binding
« on: May 16, 2007, 07:38:51 pm »
I had the thought if the key setups that I use in my Gentoo system,
for instance, I use ctrl+alt+kp_- to open my console. Could this work in tremulous?
If you did something like,
/bind ctrl+shift+tab toggle console
Yes it would be annoying, but you would be able to get used to it easially. Think of the possible benefits.
Tired of accidentally hitting the tilde key and getting stuck in console right before you enter a rush? This could solve it in my opinion.

That would be a good idea, than we can also multibind stuff to our W,A,S,D keys for easy access, like W1, W2, W3, A1, A2, A3 etc..

I hate having to move my hand accross the keyboard to hit a bind.

Another take on this I actually thought would be cool is you press a button say 1, and when you press 1 a little menu pops up that you can bind 1-5 items there. So 1-1 could be like sell gren; buy gren; itemact gren; and 1-2 could be say_team OMFG A N00B JUST JOINED OUR ^1TEAM. So you would press 1, than press 1 or 2 to get different options.

Multibinding would be cool though 2 keys at once.

There are lots and lots of scripts that can do this.

I have on screen menus like that which i coded already...
i use em all the time!

it can support up to 36 menus which are separately
configurable in different .cfg files along with
the display string that display in hud.  Combine
that with my config profiling script and you get
different menus with 'humans' or 'alien' configs loaded up!

right now i have all the keys around my movement
keys (NOT WASD) do one function when a menu isn't open
and they trigger a menu option when a menu is open...
that way i don't have to move my hand much =p

plus i <3 my hud. ^_^

i was gonna package all this for the public but i've
gotten super lazy and very few ppl seemed to show interest =(

I could show screenshots but my video drivers are on the fritz
right now with artifacts.. plus i have my settings on almost
minimum... if you can stand i'll that i'll post a screenshot lol.

Does W:Enemy-Territory support multi-key binds? I think I remember seeing some strange configs for it, and it's Quake3 engine based...not sure though.
Menus get annoying, I don't use them at all.

I don't you if you can create +commands with vstr, because if you can, it's trivial to create CTRL/ALT/SHIFT+KEY bindings, just like you could in Quake1 and Quake2.

you can't right now, but it's fairly trivial to add.

Lava, you cant, unfortunately, but there is the alias mod to do this.
