Some binds I've found useful...

[WolfWings ShadowFlight]

...perhaps TOO useful by some standards.

Code: [Select]


bind 1 "sell weapons;buy psaw;itemact blaster;itemact psaw"
bind 2 "sell weapons;buy rifle;itemact rifle"
bind 3 "sell weapons;buy shotgun;itemact shotgun"
bind 4 "sell weapons;buy lgun;itemact lgun;buy ammo"
bind 5 "sell weapons;buy chaingun;itemact chaingun"
bind 6 "sell weapons;buy mdriver;itemact mdriver;buy ammo"
bind 7 "sell weapons;buy prifle;itemact prifle;buy ammo"
bind 8 "sell weapons;buy flamer;itemact flamer;buy ammo"
bind 9 "sell weapons;buy lcannon;itemact lcannon;buy ammo"
bind 0 "sell weapons;buy ackit;buy ckit;itemact ackit;itemact ckit"

bind rightarrow "sell weapons;sell upgrades;buy rifle;itemact rifle"
bind leftarrow "sell upgrades;buy bsuit"
bind uparrow "sell bsuit;sell battpack;buy jetpack;buy helmet;buy larmour"
bind downarrow "sell bsuit;sell jetpack;buy battpack;buy helmet;buy larmour"


What these binds do first is change your number keys to function like old-fashioned weapon-switching keys whenever you're in range of an armory, and for energy-based weapons will still reload the weapons when you're near a reactor or repeater.

1 - Pain Saw/Blaster (Blaster if you don't have a Pain Saw)
2 - Default Rifle
3 - Shotgun
4 - Las Gun w/ Ammo Reload from Reactor/Repeater
5 - Chaingun
6 - Mass Driver w/ Ammo Reload from Reactor/Repeater
7 - Pulse Rifle w/ Ammo Reload from Reactor/Repeater
8 - Flamethrower w/ Ammo Reload from Reactor/Repeater
9 - Lucifer Cannon w/ Ammo Reload from Reactor/Repeater
0 - Best Construction Kit

It also changes your arrows to allow quick configuration of your upgrades.

▲ - Jetpack, Helmet, Light Armor
▼ - Battery Pack, Helmet, Light Armor
► - Empty Loadout + Rifle (quick sell back to default config)
◄ - Battlesuit

As usefull as any buyscript in any game... nice, thanks!

Cheers, Danny

What happens if you don't have any of the items the script wants to 'sell' ?

[Silverius]

Generally commands that cannot be completed generally fail with an error message printed.

[WolfWings ShadowFlight]

What happens if you don't have any of the items the script wants to 'sell' ?

You get a little text-spam in the upper-left corner of your screen about missing at item. That's it, nothing bad happens, and the rest of the script continues working just fine.

This is pretty sweet.  This should cut down a little on the damn bugs killing me for taking so long to buy stuff.

How could I script to buy a grenade?

Code: [Select]

bind g "sell gren;itemact gren;buy gren"

My 'TK Resistant' grenade bind. Press to reload near an armory, press away from an armory to throw it.

[Catalyc]

Ehh, its "gren", not "grenade" last time i looked.

[WolfWings ShadowFlight]

Ehh, its "gren", not "grenade" last time i looked.

Yup, typed from memory.

Did I mention how much I despise how convoluted some of the item names are? :-) larmour?  :roll:

[Timbo]

How is that convoluted?

[WolfWings ShadowFlight]

How is that convoluted?

Well, compared to matching the menu names, it's extra names to memorize. That's all.

I.E. If it says "Grenade" on the UI menu to click on, "buy grenade" should be be the matching command to, well, buy a grenade. :-) Anything else is in the same category of 'semi-hidden, non-intuitive commands' that make the learning curve steeper and give new players a worse impression of the game.

[Timbo]

The grenade is a special case since it is both a weapon and an upgrade and they share the same namespace; one is "grenade", the other "gren". Other than that I don't see anything particularly unintuitive. larmour -> light armour... it's not exactly cryptic.

I honestly doubt "new players" give a fuck about the internal names of the weapons and upgrades.

[Paradox]

You can add these in game, but it is better to use the config file

[kozak6]

Would it be possible to bind a key to automatically switch to and throw a grenade?

[Catalyc]

bind x "itemact gren"
bind x "itemtoggle blaster"
bind x "itemtoggle jetpack"
are also quite usefull

[Paradox]

Anyone know what the battery pack bind code is, i have tried everything, no such item exitsts.

One of the best bind codes

Code: [Select]

bind k "kill"
I dont use it, but it is funny if you have 20 sec kill timer, and you an a few buds run to alien base, knowing a tyrant is inside. 2 buds throw a gren, and one with the kill enabled runs in, with 2 sec left on kill countdown. Tyrant run up, person die, grens go off, no more tyrant, and sometimes no more om too.

battpack

[Silverius]

Paradox: using /kill to avoid giving kill points is not very good style though. You could also try throwing a nade and stepping on it yourself.

This is my aliens.cfg which is still a work in progress. Keys 1 - 0 are set to the different evolve classes by default. 'c' rebinds them to a simple chat menu, and 'b' rebinds them to a granger build menu. Hitting 'c' or 'b' a second time resets back to the evolve menu. The in-game evolve menu is shifted off to the 9 key, and 'q' will evolve into the 'best' unit you can afford. The 'best' evolve doesnt include adv. basi or adv. marauder though, you have to choose those with keys 6 and 7.

Hopefullly this super-wide code won't break the forum tables...

I do that when I run out of ammo and a tyrant is heading for me ... just drop a grenade, get out your blaster, nag the tyrant your way ... then if you time it right the grenade will go off killing both you and the tyrant My favorite tactic BTW :lol:

[Vector_Matt]

could you please make a toggle key that you press that will switch the binds between human and alien?

[chompers]

Matt, The way to make seperate binds for humans and aliens which I find easiest is to do it with several files.

Put all your binds common to both races in common.cfg
Put all your human specific binds in human.cfg
Put all your alien specific binds in alien.cfg

In common.cfg, add something like tihs:

Code: [Select]

bind F9 "team aliens; exec alien.cfg"
bind F12 "team humans; exec human.cfg"

That method uses 2 keys, to make a single toggle key instead of seperate keys:

Code: [Select]

set vstr xhuman "exec human.cfg; bind F12 vstr xalien"
set vstr xalien "exec alien.cfg; bind F12 vstr xhuman"
vstr xhuman

[Vector_Matt]

Thanks for the info, it's going to be much easier to alternate teams now.

bind p "give funds 1"

What does this do?

bind p "give funds 1"

What does this do?

It increases your money by one.
This is only avaible if cheats are allowed (you have to load a map with "/devmap mapname").

[Draconishinobi]

I've personally found these binds most useful: (similar to yours, but a bit different)

Code: [Select]


bind 0 "buy ammo"
bind 1 "sell weapons;buy rifle;itemact rifle;class level0"
bind 2 "sell weapons;buy psaw;itemact psaw;class level1"
bind 3 "sell weapons;buy shotgun;itemact shotgun;class level2"
bind 4 "sell weapons;buy lgun;itemact lgun;buy ammo;class level3"
bind 5 "sell weapons;buy chaingun;itemact chaingun;class level4"
bind 6 "sell weapons;buy mdriver;itemact mdriver;buy ammo;class level1upg"
bind 7 "sell weapons;buy prifle;itemact prifle;buy ammo;class level2upg"
bind 8 "sell weapons;buy flamer;itemact flamer;buy ammo;class level3upg"
bind 9 "sell weapons;buy lcannon;itemact lcannon;buy ammo"
bind a "sell weapons;buy ackit;itemact ackit;class builderupg"
bind b "sell upgrades;buy bsuit"
bind c "sell weapons;buy ckit;itemact ckit;class builder"
bind e "build eggpod"
bind g "buy grenade"
bind h "sell bsuit;buy helmet"
bind j "sell bsuit;sell battpack;buy jetpack"

[Draconishinobi]

that's strange ... I got a strange error when I submitted that ... something about PHP syntax error.

[Paradox]

Any way to make a toggle, like with drawgun. Say i wanted to be able to press it once, and have the gun dissapear, then press it again, and have it reappear.

[OverFlow]

Any way to make a toggle, like with drawgun. Say i wanted to be able to press it once, and have the gun dissapear, then press it again, and have it reappear.

simplest way would probably be:

Code: [Select]

set drawgunON "set cg_drawgun 1;bind v vstr drawgunOFF"
set drawgunOFF "set cg_drawgun 0;bind v vstr drawgunON"
bind v "vstr drawgunOFF"

replacing 'v' with whatever button you want.



I also put together a little quick chat menu thing a while ago...
http://www.tremulous.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=427
(scroll down a bit)

[Paradox]

No, but i want a version of a command that could be toggled, like if you pressed g once, it would enable something, and if you pressed it again, it would disable it. I want this not to be limited just to drawgun, but to work for any command.
