et:qw advanced binding features

[reyalp]

if you look in etqwbinds.cfg you will see that binds aren't just a simple bind key action any more. Instead, they look like this:
bind "w" "_forward" "" "default"

The each field in quotes has a meaning, as described below:
bind "KEY" "ACTION" "MODIFIER KEY" "CONTEXT"

We'll get to modifiers in a moment, but first, contexts.

In the first example "default" means this bind is for the default context. Binds in the default context are used when there are no binds for the same key in the current context. You don't actually need to specify this (binds without any context will be in the default context), but et:qw saves your configs this way.

"vehicle" is the default context for when you are in any vehicle. A bind with this context is only active when you are in a vehicle. So

bind "MOUSE5" "_weapon0" "" "vehicle"

means that MOUSE5 fires a decoy when you are in a vehicle, but could be used for something completely different as infantry.

You can also name vehicle contexts individually, which is nice, since you might want to use the different keys for flying vehicles and ground vehicles.

For example, you could use:

setp g_bind_context_hornet "hornet"
bind "MOUSE2" "_weapnext" "" "hornet"

which means pressing MOUSE2 to will switch to the next weapon (effectively toggling between guided strockets and unguided plasma cannon) only when you are in the tormentor (hornet seems to be it's internal name)

If more than one vehicle uses the same control set, you can just make one context which covers them all. For example, crouch engages siege mode in the desecrator and cyclops, but isn't useful in other vehicles. So you could use something like:

Note the use of 'setp' instead of 'seta'. This means to save it in your profile, rather than your main etqwconfig.cfg. This is important, if you use seta, the value will be lost when you load the game.

setp g_bind_context_desecrator "stroggtank"
setp g_bind_context_goliath "stroggtank"
bind "MOUSE2" "_movedown" "" "stroggtank"

that way, your MOUSE2 goes to siege mode in both these vehicles (goliath is the internal name for the cyclops), but could be used for something else in all other cases.

Class contexts work much like vehicle contexts. The default context for each class is the name of the class (so if you wanted to make a medic only bind, it would use the "medic" context), but like the above, it may make sense to give classes with similar needs the same context names.

Modifiers:
The modifier field is used to specify that a key combination is used to do that particular action. An example combining class contexts and modifiers from my config is:


setp g_class_context_covertops "cov"
setp g_class_context_infiltrator "cov"
...
bind "b" "useweapon weapon_tool2" "CTRL" "cov" // deploy
...
bind "b" "useWeapon weapon_binocs" "" "default"


Which means that control+b brings up the deploy tool for both covert ops and infiltrator, while plain b brings up the binocs for all classes. If I hadn't renamed the two class contexts, I would have had to specify the deploy tool bind twice.

Note that you can use ANY key as a modifier, not just the normal CTRL, SHIFT, ALT etc. However, you may run into limits on the number of simultanious keys your keyboard supports.

For completeness, I should mention that there are also a "menu" and "bindmenu" contexts. I suggest not messing with them.

Here is the complete list of class and vehicle context name cvars, and their default values (from etqwconfig.cfg):

setp g_bind_context_anansi "vehicle"
// badger is the armadillo
setp g_bind_context_badger "vehicle"
setp g_bind_context_bumblebee "vehicle"
setp g_bind_context_desecrator "vehicle"
//goliath is the cyclops
setp g_bind_context_goliath "vehicle"
setp g_bind_context_hog "vehicle"
//hornet is the tormentor
setp g_bind_context_hornet "vehicle"
setp g_bind_context_husky "vehicle"
setp g_bind_context_icarus "vehicle"
setp g_bind_context_mcp "vehicle"
setp g_bind_context_platypus "vehicle"
setp g_bind_context_titan "vehicle"
setp g_bind_context_trojan "vehicle"

setp g_class_context_aggressor "aggressor"
setp g_class_context_technician "technician"
setp g_class_context_constructor "constructor"
setp g_class_context_oppressor "oppressor"
setp g_class_context_infiltrator "infiltrator"
setp g_class_context_soldier "soldier"
setp g_class_context_medic "medic"
setp g_class_context_engineer "engineer"
setp g_class_context_fieldops "fieldops"
setp g_class_context_covertops "covertops"

Note public beta 1 had a spelling error in the game: g_class_context_solider "soldier". In beta two, the cvar is correctly called g_class_context_soldier.

edit:
Updated for beta 2, with setp.

edit again:
Note that for context cvars to work, you may have to set them in your profile autoexec rather than the normal one in base. To do this, place a file called autoexec.cfg under sdnet\<your profile name>\base under your etqw directory. In theory setp in your main autoexec should do the same thing, but some people have had trouble with that.

[Czin]

Wow very helpful.
Thank you!

[b0rsuk]

Just what I was looking for ! I can have my mouse3 switch to handgrenades but throw flares while in a vehicle. Great feature.

The car still called 'badger'. Great.

[paZifist]

thx will try it out later at home :)

[thwak]

very helpful. could we get this stickied?

[space]

Rock on! This is nice, thanks man! :D

[Hakuryu]

Here is a portion of my autoexec to show some of this in action. Most everything is commented on what it does :

// RMB - Iron Sights (Infantry) - Sprint/Jet/Nitrous (Vehicles)
bind MOUSE2 "_altattack" "" "default"
bind MOUSE2 "_sprint" "" "vehicle"

// Numpad 0 - Sprint (Infantry) - FreeLook (Vehicles)
bind "KP_INS" "_sprint" "" "default"
bind "KP_INS" "_tophat" "" "vehicle"

// Side Mouse Button - Reload (Infantry) - Handbrake/Reverse thrust (Vehicles)
bind "MOUSE4" "_reload" "" "default"
bind "MOUSE4" "_speed" "" "vehicle"

// End - Prone (Infantry) - Vehicle Horn (Vehicles)
bind "END" "_prone" "" "default"
bind "END" "_modeswitch" "" "vehicle"

[cpt.whistlepants]

Thanks reyalp, you saved us some time. Good stuff

[gurgle]

can someone explain to me what this means in english?

[Hakuryu]

It means you can change what your keybinds do depending upon what you are in control of - a player or vehicle for example.

You don't need to ever reload in a vehicle, but that keybind is probably in a good spot that could be re-used by something else while you are in a vehicle.

[Ifurita]

A bind has 2 additional arguments, a modifier and a context. By default, the is no modifer and no context.

The modifier simply lets you assign functions to a combination of keys, e.g, differentiate between J and J+SHIFT or MOUSE1 and MOUSE1+SHIFT

The context allows keys or key combinations to have different functions based on context (read as bind x only if x), where x could be in a vehicle, in a flyer, or in a tormentor. Or x could be only when you are a medic or in the menu.

[b0rsuk]

In short, you can have the same keys do different things depending on class or vehicle you are. You can make mouse3 switch to handgrenades for infantry, and the same key throw a decoy if you're in a vehicle.

Modifiers mean that you can essentially have a lot more keys at your disposal. I use numpad for weapons and other tools, but I can use it for communication messages if I hold down Shift or CTRL. (i have movement on home/end/pgdn/del )

[ho0ber]

Awesome info! Thanks! (and also to Hakuryu)

I'd been thinking about binding the vehicle mouselook and horn to something more useful for a while. :)

[Ifurita]

@ B0rsuk, correct. The modifiers allow you have more keys at your disposal and the contexts allow you to set up keys that are more natural for you whether you're infantry, a specific class, in a vehicle, or specifically a tormentor.

I wish that you could assign contexts to variables too

[engie^benjy]

This helped me because I have mouse wheel up bound to pistol and mouse wheel down bound to grenade - zooming with a rifle or binoculars was then lost. but now all I do is hold ctrl and I can zoom!! Great Stuff

[reyalp]

Quick note: there seems to be some issues with vehicle contexts in the current beta build. Even if you set them in your autoexec, they get reset to "vehicle" when you load into game. A workaround is to bind a key to manually exec your cfg after you start the game.

[n|colo]

Cheers for the info, you can make some real nice binds with it !

[LuigiBrotha]

I'm going to take a look at this and see if I can figure out how to create a bind similair to the Q from Counter Strike (switch to previous). Atleast so I can quick switch between my main weapons.

[reyalp]

I don't think there's any way currently to switch to the previous weapon you were holding. I just use a key for each weapon.

[Jammydodger]

Great little guide there reyalp, cheers ;)

1 of my members is asking a Q and I was wondering if you guys can help answer?

Question, Is it possible to add a double command into a single bind that will both be activated when the key is pressed.

Example:
I wand F12 to toggle the bind g_showHud, and the com_showFPS. How about would I do that, would I do it simmular to RTCW where I would seperate the commands with a ; or would I just put in a space.

This
bind "F12" "toggle g_showHud; com_showFPS" "" "default"

or this
bind "F12" "toggle g_showHud com_showFPS" "" "default"

And is that toggle even correct, will it toggle them on and off together. Basically what you are seeing is a possiable bind to make clean demos by deleating everything from the scree.

Thanks for any help.

[MoP]

1 of my members is asking a Q and I was wondering if you guys can help answer?

Here's how you'd do that:

bind F12 "toggle g_showHud; toggle com_showFPS"

You don't need the "" "default" at the end for every bind - these are just the default settings that mean the bind will apply in every default case unless otherwise specified (for example, it would be overridden when in a vehicle if you were to bind F12 to something else in the "vehicle" context).

You need both "toggles" in there, you can't toggle two different cvars at once with a single toggle command.

Another note, the "toggle" command will switch between 0 and 1 using the current value as a starting point. So if you want the HUD and FPS counter to show and hide together, make sure they're both set to either 1 or 0 by default. If one is set to a different value, you'll find that one displays when the other is hidden and vice-versa.

Hope that helps.

[Jammydodger]

Thanks alot MoP, your a ledge ;)

[General.Jung]

Hello Forum,

is it possible to bind the driver seat?

[b0rsuk]

You don't need the "" "default" at the end for every bind - these are just the default settings that mean the bind will apply in every default case unless otherwise specified

Explicit > Implied . Python is great !

Is there any chance for new contexts ? For example...

g_bind_context_offense

(true for GDF on Valley or Sewer.)

g_bind_context_defense

(Map-dependant just like the one above. True for Strogg on Valley or Sewer .
It would be nice to have 'Regroup' and 'Incoming' on the same key, depending on whether you're attacking or defending.


g_bind_context_fireteam

If there was such a context, I could make my communication binds broadcast to fireteam channel if I'm in a fireteam. If I'm not in a fireteam, they would broadcast to the main team channel.

[dommafia]

All this will be great for us script junkies :)

[Szakalot]

what i would like is to make one thing belong to more than one context. One context for for example any vehicle, and the other specificaly for a hog. I know it can be solved by just copying paste every command to every context but it is a pain in the ass.

[Oompa]

True, I agree with you there, but what can you do?

[Cerci]

Having a problem with vehicle context binds, my autoexec looks like this:
seta g_bind_context_hornet "stroggair"
bind "MOUSE2" "_weapnext" "" "stroggair"
bind "MOUSE4" "_weapon0" "" "stroggair"
bind "e" "_forward" "" "stroggair"
bind "c" "_back" "" "stroggair"
bind "w" "_sprint" "" "stroggair"
bind "s" "_speed" "" "stroggair"


But when I run the game, the tormentor controls are unchanged. Am I doing something wrong?

[derpious]

seta g_bind_context_hornet "stroggair"
bind "MOUSE2" "_weapnext" "" "stroggair"

bind "s" "_speed" "" "stroggair"


But when I run the game, the tormentor controls are unchanged. Am I doing something wrong?

Im having the same problem and I located the problem to be that when I reboot the game the g_bind_context_hornet (hornet for exampel) is still "vehicle" but it says default=heli (heli is what I named it in my cfg).
This is really weird, you can try and see if this is the same problem your having or if you fixed it please let me know how.

I tried changing g_bind_context_hornet to heli in both autoexec and etqwconfig.cfg but still its "vehicle" when I start the game, really annoying.

[Cerci]

I fixed it, was just dumb placement of the autoexec. I'd put it in the \base folder, in mydocs, when it should've been in the sdnet\profilename\base folder.

[[]v[]]

Anyway to bind the command map so that it disappears when I release the key.

[HalF.DeaD]

Is there any way to bind "look up", "look down", "look left" and "look right" (liek on mouse), i wanna make controls for flyers same like in gta san andreas, i really mastered that and i dont wanna get used to new controls.

[reyalp]

Just a quick note:
beta 2 has solved the problems with contexts getting reset. To take advantage of this, you should use setp (this means save in profile) for your context cvars, or create an autoexec.cfg in your profile directory which sets them.

edit:
I've updated the original post to reflect this.

[Dirka_Dirka]

Is there any chance for new contexts ? For example...

g_bind_context_offense

g_bind_context_defense

g_bind_context_fireteam


we definately need more contexts..

how about g_class_context_gdf and g_class_context_strogg

and how about some more options for vehicles.. like g_vehicle_context_air, g_vehicle_context_ground, etc

or even the ability to set multiple binds per context...
eg - something along the lines of:
setp g_class_context_aggressor "aggressor"
setp g_class_context_aggressor "fighter"
setp g_class_context_aggressor "strogg" // if theres no "race" context added

[Kam]

I'm new to all and have only just thrown together my first config file. Got everything I want working, except the following;

bind "UPARROW" "clientquickchat quickchat/fireteams/waypoint/attack" "" "default"
bind "DOWNARROW""clientquickchat quickchat/fireteams/waypoint/defend" "" "default"
bind "LEFTARROW" "clientquickchat quickchat/fireteams/waypoint/regroup" "" "default"

The console says these cannot be found - all my other bindings, ysays etc work fine. Any ideas?

[b0rsuk]

Some more context ideas:


g_bind_context_dead

g_bind_context_notdriver
True if you're in a vehicle but not a driver. Could be used to communicate with the driver/pilot, for example

'Stop, I need to pee'
'Stop, I'll repair you'
'Look out, airstrike/tormentor/rocketlauncher/artillery'
'Let me drive'

Does anyone know if quickchat menus are configurable ? I might want to replace 'Thanks' with 'Danke'. Is that possible ?

[Dirka_Dirka]

'Stop, I need to pee'
lol
10 char min post?.. i just wanted to say thats funny shite.

[Mustang]

Agree on all the points requarding more contexts

Does anyone know if quickchat menus are configurable ? I might want to replace 'Thanks' with 'Danke'. Is that possible ?
In ET you could have custom text with the default sounds
But I dont think ETQW allows this

You definately wont be able to use custom sounds on pure/ranked servers
It could most likely be done with a server side sound pack though

[reyalp]

In ET you could have custom text with the default sounds

That was actually added in mods AFAIK.

[superfreakkkyy]

so is there a way to bind a key to do two things in the vehicle?
for example, mouse1 as fire button and decoy for vehicles?

[Ifurita]

I don't think that would be a great idea. Would you really want to fire off the titan's main gun everytime you tried to deploy a flare and vice versa?

[reyalp]

In any case, you cannot combine _ commands like _attack and _weapon0

[Mustang]

That was actually added in mods AFAIK.
ah, quite possibly
i very quickly decided that only liked playing on etpro servers

[GoatLord]

I'm not an expert with scripting but is there a way to make a script that toggles sprinting ON and OFF just like in ET?
If there is how would you go about it?

[reyalp]

There is a cvar for this, but that means you can't have a toggle key and a hold key.


in_toggleSprint pressing _sprint button toggles run on/off
type: bool
default: 0 (false)

[Dirka_Dirka]

you can do this in the gui now as well.

[BaronLeadStorm]

I haven't been able to find this looking over the scripts, so I figured I would ask to make sure:

Is it possible to bind mouse 1 to strocket and mouse 2 to plasma for the tormentor?

I find using the right mouse button to switch a lot less useful then having each mouse button be a different weapon like in other flight sims.

no not possible
in etqw you have to switch to a weapon before using it
as you can only have 1 weapon equiped at any moment in time

[Spreche]

Is there any way to bind "look up", "look down", "look left" and "look right" (liek on mouse)

Yeah, same here I was wondering how you would do that. Can anyone help us out here?

[alucardx]

all of this context stuff needs to be implemented into the in-game config menu. this is ridiculous.

have one column for infantry (on-foot), another column for vehciles, etc.

[FischCommand]

hi,

my following script doesn't work:

bind "MOUSE4" "toggle _weapon5; toggle _weapon2"
bind "ALT" "toggle _weapon4; toggle _weapon2"

In the console the error comes: 'unknown cvar'

Background is that that I want to convert script from ET:

bind MOUSE4 "vstr ToggleAmmoMedicNormal"
set MedicAmmo "set ToggleAmmoMedicNormal vstr NormalWaffe;weaponbank 6"
set NormalWaffe "set ToggleAmmoMedicNormal vstr MedicAmmo;weaponbank 3"
set ToggleAmmoMedicNormal "vstr MedicAmmo"
//
bind ALT "vstr medictoggle"
set spritze "set medictoggle vstr thompson2;weaponbank 5"
set thompson2 "set medictoggle vstr spritze;weaponbank 3"
set medictoggle "vstr spritze"


can anyone help?

[reyalp]

Toggle is for cvars, not commands or _commands. You can't script _commands.

[FischCommand]

@reyalp:

ok thx, had thought me that nearly. it harms that there is none 'vstr' more.

[H0PE]

Was just thinking about the same stuff. Is it possible to bind two weapons on one key? I would really love to put the two main weapons on one button and grenades with close range weapon on another one. :dance:

Toggle is for cvars, not commands or _commands. You can't script _commands.

[Snoofer]

I have a problem with my script:

seta g_bind_context_goliath "goliath"
bind "MWHEELDOWN" "_movedown" "" "goliath"
bind "MWHEELUP" "_moveup" "" "goliath"
bind "x" "_weapon0" "" "goliath"


fire decoy works, going into siege mode not


btw, rock in close combat:
bind "MWHEELDOWN" "_stroyup" "" "aggressor"
bind "MWHEELUP" "_stroydown" "" "aggressor"

[Wicky]

What's the word to bind a mouse-axis to a command while in air? I want to strafe with the mouse x-axis (for precise aiming).

So while on ground I look with mouse and strafe with A+D.
But while in air it's flipped to strafe with mouse and look with A+D.

[reyalp]

you should be able to bind _strafe to a key which would do that, but you will have to hold it down to take effect.

[Wicky]

Alas, when I bound a key to _strafe I couldn't strafe up and down anymore, but the left/right movement worked as intended. And it was very precise just like I had imagined!

It didn't work but thanks! It was a good idea.

[reyalp]

Ah you are right, it also turns mouse looking up/down to the equivalent of forward/backward on the kb :/

[MAsta_KFC]

So you guys are saying you can't bind several commands in successive order? Eg I want to bind a key that switched my main to knife, stab, then switch back to previous weapon. Or a command that switches me to grenade, toss a gren, then switch back?

[FischCommand]

MAsta_KFC:

No chance. After my informations that isnt possible

[Diablo85]

I am trying to bind these keys but it doesn't seem to work. I put the commands in all my config files and even my autoexec but ingame they simply don't work. Anyone has any idea what I am doing worng and why it isn't working?

bind "KP_INS" "_weapon0" "" "vehicle"
bind "MOUSE2" "_vehicleCamera" "" "vehicle"
bind "CTRL" "_modeswitch" "" "vehicle"

[FischCommand]

relevant paths for ET:QW are:

1) %userprofile%\My Documents\id Software\Enemy Territory - QUAKE Wars\base
2) %userprofile%\My Documents\id Software\Enemy Territory - QUAKE Wars\sdnet\[username]\base

if you have your autoexec.cfg in 1) then make a separate autoexec.cfg in 2) with follow content: 'exec autoexec.cfg' then it should work..

[Diablo85]

Thanks, that did the trick.

One more question. Whats the command to enable or disable the weapon scroll menu?

[FischCommand]

hm, each time if you use 'MWHEELDOWN' or 'MWHEELUP' this menu is visible

bind "MWHEELDOWN" "_weapnext" "" "default"
bind "MWHEELUP" "_weapprev" "" "default"

therefor I would say delete the fields/bindings "MWHEELDOWN"/"MWHEELUP"

[Diablo85]

I ran this autoexec that I found on some site which is suppose to be good for low end pcs like mine. But when I did I lost my mousemenu. So I am wondering what command does that. What you said didn't seem to fix it.

Do you happen to know which command disabled my mouse menu?

[FischCommand]

Unfortunately no notion, but the following instruction might be wrong:

seta sensitivity "6.0"f

remove the f at the end of line..

Thanks for the help anyways. I will just delete all my configs then and see if its fixed then. And then alter the settings.

np, yes thats the simplest way for you IMO

[Ifurita]

Page down once and you'll see a list of key names. For Delete, it's just bind DEL ..., for Insert, it's just bind INS ...

Is there any way to bind "look up", "look down", "look left" and "look right" (liek on mouse), i wanna make controls for flyers same like in gta san andreas, i really mastered that and i dont wanna get used to new controls.

_lookup
_lookdown
_right
_left


I have tired _lookup and _lookdown for the flyers, but it seems to be a bit twichy. IE, you don't pull back on the stick, you yank it back all the way.

what's the thingybob for HORN in vehicles? I'm trying to bind it under a key while I'm one coz H is not an easy access for me? anyone?

You cannot.

toggle operates on cvars. _movedown is not a cvar.

Just wondering if there is a way to bind MOUSE2 (or another key) to _activate when ONLY holding the knife? Sort of like a weapon's context bind.

I need to bind a key to hide and show COCKPIT in vehicles. Can you drop me a line of the cvar or command or whatever is needed to do so? thanks guyz...

[-=OUTLAW=-]

Hi, i am trying to bind the A and D keys to roll left and right,but i only want to do this in the heli vehicles.

The command i am using is
bind "a" "_left" "" "Tormentor"
bind "d" "_right" "" "Tormentor"

this does not seem to work.

when i use Bind "A" "_left" "" "Vehicles"
it works but then all vehicles use it and thats not what i want.

Any help would be appreciated.

actually i have done it now.

i set the flying vehicles into a "flyers" context
then set it up with the following command.

bind "A" "_left" "" "flyers

if i put the quotes at the end of flyers it would not work for some reason.


ah bollocks it didnt save !


Done..just added to my autoexec. cfg and a few lines into my bindings.cfg

[mattshu88]

From the looks of what people have posted so far, you cannot say use MOUSE3 to toggle between nades and primary weapon correct?

However, would it be possible to use MOUSE3 to switch to nades and MOUSE3 with a shift modifier to go back to primary weapon?

If so how would that appear in scripting language?

Appreciate it guys :)

[Backdraft]

Replace the ALT with whatever modifier you want to use.

Anyone know what is the command to switch fire modes?

[Backdraft]

Anyone know what is the command to switch fire modes?

I believe it is _weapnext.

[reyalp]

I believe it is _weapnext.
That switches weapons (in the anansi/tormentor that means either guided or unguided).

altfire (ironsight/scope/grenade launcher) is _altattack

Is there any way to bind the W key (if it's tapped twice) to run? like it used to be in BF2?

[reyalp]

Is there any way to bind the W key (if it's tapped twice) to run? like it used to be in BF2?
I don't think so. You can turn on in_togglesprint which makes your sprint key a turn sprint on or off, but be warned that this also affects vehicles.

[ZaZen.]

One more question. Whats the command to enable or disable the weapon scroll menu?

Thats

g_weaponSwitchTimeout

When set to '0' you get no menu

Seta g_weaponSwitchTimeout 1.5

set to 1.5 (which is how mine is set) and you get the menu.

you need these two binds (these are default) or the menus dont work with the mouse wheel.

bind "MWHEELDOWN" "_weapnext" "" "default"
bind "MWHEELUP" "_weapprev" "" "default"


Strogg Strogg Strogg !!!!

Couple of Questions?

Is it possible to direct select tools that usually overlap in keys. Such as Pliers and Deployment tool overlap on the 5 key or Medpacks and Supply crate markers are on the 6 key. Can I bind Pliers to one key and Deployment tool to another?

Is there anyway to script "turn off toggle to sprint" when in a vehicle so that sprint works on key press only?

Is the cross hair supposed to disappear when you use free lock (_tophat) when in a flying vehicle? Is there another command to keep the cross hair visible during free look?

[Ifurita]

Here's a list of the items and tools that can be bound

Yes. My config (http://www.collectivecomputing.com/~reed/etqw/reyalp_etqw_cfg.zip) has an example of this. You can also do it in the menu using the tool1/tool2/item1/item2 options.


Is there anyway to script "turn off toggle to sprint" when in a vehicle so that sprint works on key press only?

There's no automatic way to do it. You could set a key to toggle in_togglesprint.

Is the cross hair supposed to disappear when you use free lock (_tophat) when in a flying vehicle? Is there another command to keep the cross hair visible during free look?
The crosshair is supposed to go away if you aim beyond where the gun can aim. You can still lock after that. AFAIK there is no way to keep the crosshair on.

[Backdraft]

The crosshair is supposed to go away if you aim beyond where the gun can aim. You can still lock after that. AFAIK there is no way to keep the crosshair on.

In the Tormentor you have about 15 degrees of freelook, while in the Anansi you have effectively 0.

[ScottFree]

Thanks Ifurita and reyalp
In the Tormentor you have about 15 degrees of freelook, while in the Anansi you have effectively 0.
That's pretty consistent with my experience and annoying.

[Bu11eT]

Hi !

I want to do a script which gives me a rotation of tools and item's on the C key, but it should skip the empty ones (not every class has 2 tools and 2 items, so if i use a default binding (commented out in example shown below) it switches also to the empty slots..)

I've tried the following but the game used only the last entry (covertops)

What do i have to change to get it work right ?

Thanks in advance !

[MrBeens]

Is there anyt way to bind the context sensative chat actions to a key?

For instance there are context chat lines for "I'm a <class>" and in game using the Vsay menu you cycle to the relevant section and you tell your team what class you are.
I've found the list of the individual chat lines (for instance clientquickchat quickchat/self/imaggressor) but would like to just set up one bind that detects what class I am and says it, as opposed to setting up a separate contect bind for each class.

Thanks

PS here is what my binds look like at the moment -

bind "KP_END" "clientquickchat quickchat/self/imaggressor" "" "aggressor"
bind "KP_END" "clientquickchat quickchat/self/imtechnician" "" "technician"
bind "KP_END" "clientquickchat quickchat/self/imconstructor" "" "constructor"
bind "KP_END" "clientquickchat quickchat/self/imoppressor" "" "oppressor"
bind "KP_END" "clientquickchat quickchat/self/iminfiltrator" "" "infiltrator"

I want to cut this down to just one line if possible.

Hi !

Ran into another problem:

Why is this not working:

bind "KP_PGUP" "clientquickchat quickchat/global/cheers/forthemakron" "" "clientTeam Strogg"
bind "KP_PGUP" "clientquickchat quickchat/global/cheers/freedomofearth" "" "clientTeam GDF"

Just wanted to say similar things based on the Team i am !

How to...?

Thanks in advance !

[Ifurita]

because Strogg is not a recognized context (and certainly not ClientTeam Strogg) unless you made the context for your constructor, tech, aggressor, oppressor, and infiltrator = "Strogg"

[Bu11eT]

Hi !

because Strogg is not a recognized context (and certainly not ClientTeam Strogg) unless you made the context for your constructor, tech, aggressor, oppressor, and infiltrator = "Strogg"

I've guessed it, but was'nt sure, so i've tried.

I've then tried to set an additional context this way:


setp g_class_context_aggressor "strogg"
...
setp g_class_context_soldier "gdf"
...
bind "PGDN" "clientquickchat quickchat/global/cheers/strogg" "" "strogg"
bind "PGDN" "clientquickchat quickchat/global/cheers/gdf" "" "gdf"
...


which also won't work..

How would i do this right ?

i've posted this already, its almost what youre looking for but you have to hit the key 2 times to hear/see it.

seta med1 "clientquickchat quickchat/need/medic; bind KP_PLUS $med2"
seta med2 "clientquickchat quickchat/need/technician; bind KP_PLUS $med1"
bind "KP_PLUS" "vstr med1"

edit** just change the KEY and the medic/technician line with yours.

sion47? posted a really nice one..check out this link

Thanks for the Hint !

EDIT: Oh my Strogg - it's so simple:

bind "KP_END" "clientquickchat botchat/generic/technicianenroute; clientquickchat botchat/generic/medicenroute" "" "default"

will do the trick !

Console spits out an errormessage for the "not found other Team vsay" but thats ok i guess !

Thanks again for helping me out !

I can't help but think this has been asked already, but I couldn't find it if it had.

When I do something like this:



setp g_bind_context_hornet "flyers"


am I changing the hornet to now be a "flyer" context and only a "flyer" context, or am I creating an additional context for the hornet to live in (in addition to its default "vehicle" context)?

[MrBeens]

That's a very good question - I would like to know that too :)

Only one context is active at a time. If do the above, flyers is the ONLY context that applies when you are flying the tormentor.

Similarly, your class context only applies if you aren't in a vehicle.

"vehicles" only works because it's the default value for all the vehicles.

[Necro]

Another question:
Is it possible to set a cvar for a specific weapon, like medpack?
I try to set alternate fire to "Medpacks dropped!" when i got my medpacks in the hand. Same for Supplycrate.

So something like that will work:

setp g_bind_context_medpack "medpack"
bind "mouse2" "quickchat quickchat/.../medpacksdropped" "" "medpack"

[Necro]

Ok, try to find a way to move a flying vehicle with mouse left and right. Because its to inaccurate to control it with "A" and "D".

bind "MOUSELEFT" "_LEFT" "" "ANANSI"

I'm not sure if MOUSELEFT is the right command. Will try it now. Anyone other ideas?

Edit:
Ok, MOUSELEFT doesnt exists. I have tried to find the right command in the console, but havent found anything.

[reyalp]

You cannot re-assign the mouse axis.

[Quicksilver420]

Not sure what I'm doing wrong but I cant seem to get any binds to work in the TORMENTOR
Here's what I have so far:I use my joystick to jump/crouch which is _moveup/_movedown these are JOY1_3 and JOY1_4

I'd like to use them for the tormentor up/down as well.

I type this in at the console and no-go
bind "joy1_3" "_moveup" "" "hornet" or "vehicle"

I jump/crouch on foot of course but in a vehicle the keys are dead....any ideas guys??:confused:

I tried bind "joy1_3" "forward" "" "hornet" and bingo it worked ! Forward is the command to fly higher not _moveup,and back is down in the tormentor....weird shit

[Inkubus]

Is it possible to make it so that when you use the mousewheel to scroll through weapons, you don't have to click fire to select that weapon, and item is automatically brought up (like when you use the number keys)?

[Hirutashiro]

if you look in etqwbinds.cfg you will see that binds aren't just a simple bind key action any more. Instead, they look like this:
bind "w" "_forward" "" "default"

The each field in quotes has a meaning, as described below:
bind "KEY" "ACTION" "MODIFIER KEY" "CONTEXT"

We'll get to modifiers in a moment, but first, contexts.

In the first example "default" means this bind is for the default context. Binds in the default context are used when there are no binds for the same key in the current context. You don't actually need to specify this (binds without any context will be in the default context), but et:qw saves your configs this way.

"vehicle" is the default context for when you are in any vehicle. A bind with this context is only active when you are in a vehicle. So

bind "MOUSE5" "_weapon0" "" "vehicle"

means that MOUSE5 fires a decoy when you are in a vehicle, but could be used for something completely different as infantry.

You can also name vehicle contexts individually, which is nice, since you might want to use the different keys for flying vehicles and ground vehicles.

For example, you could use:

setp g_bind_context_hornet "hornet"
bind "MOUSE2" "_weapnext" "" "hornet"

which means pressing MOUSE2 to will switch to the next weapon (effectively toggling between guided strockets and unguided plasma cannon) only when you are in the tormentor (hornet seems to be it's internal name)

If more than one vehicle uses the same control set, you can just make one context which covers them all. For example, crouch engages siege mode in the desecrator and cyclops, but isn't useful in other vehicles. So you could use something like:

Note the use of 'setp' instead of 'seta'. This means to save it in your profile, rather than your main etqwconfig.cfg. This is important, if you use seta, the value will be lost when you load the game.

setp g_bind_context_desecrator "stroggtank"
setp g_bind_context_goliath "stroggtank"
bind "MOUSE2" "_movedown" "" "stroggtank"

that way, your MOUSE2 goes to siege mode in both these vehicles (goliath is the internal name for the cyclops), but could be used for something else in all other cases.

Class contexts work much like vehicle contexts. The default context for each class is the name of the class (so if you wanted to make a medic only bind, it would use the "medic" context), but like the above, it may make sense to give classes with similar needs the same context names.

Modifiers:
The modifier field is used to specify that a key combination is used to do that particular action. An example combining class contexts and modifiers from my config is:


setp g_class_context_covertops "cov"
setp g_class_context_infiltrator "cov"
...
bind "b" "useweapon weapon_tool2" "CTRL" "cov" // deploy
...
bind "b" "useWeapon weapon_binocs" "" "default"


Which means that control+b brings up the deploy tool for both covert ops and infiltrator, while plain b brings up the binocs for all classes. If I hadn't renamed the two class contexts, I would have had to specify the deploy tool bind twice.

Note that you can use ANY key as a modifier, not just the normal CTRL, SHIFT, ALT etc. However, you may run into limits on the number of simultanious keys your keyboard supports.

For completeness, I should mention that there are also a "menu" and "bindmenu" contexts. I suggest not messing with them.

Here is the complete list of class and vehicle context name cvars, and their default values (from etqwconfig.cfg):

setp g_bind_context_anansi "vehicle"
// badger is the armadillo
setp g_bind_context_badger "vehicle"
setp g_bind_context_bumblebee "vehicle"
setp g_bind_context_desecrator "vehicle"
//goliath is the cyclops
setp g_bind_context_goliath "vehicle"
setp g_bind_context_hog "vehicle"
//hornet is the tormentor
setp g_bind_context_hornet "vehicle"
setp g_bind_context_husky "vehicle"
setp g_bind_context_icarus "vehicle"
setp g_bind_context_mcp "vehicle"
setp g_bind_context_platypus "vehicle"
setp g_bind_context_titan "vehicle"
setp g_bind_context_trojan "vehicle"

setp g_class_context_aggressor "aggressor"
setp g_class_context_technician "technician"
setp g_class_context_constructor "constructor"
setp g_class_context_oppressor "oppressor"
setp g_class_context_infiltrator "infiltrator"
setp g_class_context_soldier "soldier"
setp g_class_context_medic "medic"
setp g_class_context_engineer "engineer"
setp g_class_context_fieldops "fieldops"
setp g_class_context_covertops "covertops"

Note public beta 1 had a spelling error in the game: g_class_context_solider "soldier". In beta two, the cvar is correctly called g_class_context_soldier.

edit:
Updated for beta 2, with setp.

edit again:
Note that for context cvars to work, you may have to set them in your profile autoexec rather than the normal one in base. To do this, place a file called autoexec.cfg under sdnet\<your profile name>\base under your etqw directory. In theory setp in your main autoexec should do the same thing, but some people have had trouble with that.

You saved my life!
Now I will be able to use mouse2 for freelook in a vehicle; anytime I'd bind mouse 2 for freelook in a vehicle, first or secondary slot, it would always remove the action for default more: on feet.

A bit of pain the arse though, to go through it manually. Hasn't this been solved with a patch for the retail?

[anthonyda]

Hi, sorry if this not the good thread, but is there a way to have the hidden voice bind that bots have, it's says "I'm gonna TK revive you", i read this thread, but I didn't find the solution, thx !

[samsho5]

you could also make a totally new set of binds and switch back and forth between them with 1 button.

make 2 copyies of your etqwbinds.cfg and rename them to something like flybinds.cfg and normalbinds.cfg(or use the etqwbinds)

edit the flybinds to however you like when you are flying with wordpad/ingame or whatever.

use the game console and add..
bind f10 "vstr mybinds1"
seta mybinds1 "exec flybinds.cfg; bind F10 $mybinds2"
seta mybinds2 "exec normalbinds.cfg; bind F10 $mybinds1"

contexts provide a FAR more reasonable way of doing this.

[tombstone]

i am wondering if the context on the context menu in game would be available. i think it should be really. then you could have binds for things that you might be aiming at. If you were staring at a titan, and you hit a certain key, it could say the enemy armour spotted as usual, but then request artillery support in addition, or if you were aiming at a flyer, it could request rocket launcher support. perhaps it could be used to bring out the most suitable weapon in the specific class context. or if it was a friendly vehicle, and you were an engineer, , it could say 'i'm repairing', and get out the pliers. Medics looking at downed team mates could say, 'hold on i'm a medic', and of course get the defibrillators out

if you could access information like the name of the target too, and come out with something like 'i'm gonna get you <namehere>', or 'don't tap out <namehere>, i'll revive you'

i wonder if these contexts could be secretly available :)

[WhizzIK]

Hi there i hope somebody can help me here im trying to understand the way way the configs work in ETQW similar to the way Quake 3 work but lot of additions .... neway anybody here know how to script and write configs coz i just cant get my bloody head around it
My problem is i have all my keys bound to my liking accept for the mouse wheel which im using for my primary weapons which i don't really want to change
bind "MWHEELUP" "_weapon1" "" "default" - LIGHT
bind "MWHEELDOWN" "_weapon2" "" "default" - HEAVY
now this is fine as long as i don't want to be an infiltrator with a railgun "which the situation often dictates i do"
my question is can i use the mousewheel for zoom just as an infiltrator as below solely for the zoom function on the railgun if so how? i didn't really want to use another key if i can help it. the key bindings i want to use for the zoom are the default ones but they clash
bind "," "_weapprev" "" "default"
bind "." "_weapnext" "" "default"
any help would be greatly appreciated


Peace

[Ifurita]

you could use a modifier

bind "mwheelup" "_weapprev" "shift" "default"
bind "mwheeldown" "_weapnext" "shift" "default"

So that shift and mousewheel would make you scroll

[WhizzIK]

you could use a modifier

bind "mwheelup" "_weapprev" "shift" "default"
bind "mwheeldown" "_weapnext" "shift" "default"

So that shift and mousewheel would make you scroll

Yes i understand that much but im sure i read somewhere you can do it another way without using another key but for the life of me i cant remember is it another modifier for the infiltrator class ?



Peace

[Evilbonez]

Hey guys, I'm just trying to do a simple toggle bind for crouch. But I cannot get it working in-game for some reason.

I'm using;

bind KP_END "toggle _movedown"

I have KP_END bound to one of my mouse keys. But for some reason it does not work in-game.

Any ideas?
Thanks.

[Ifurita]

you can't toggle crouch

[Hangman]

Sorry guys I just cant get this to work (:
Iv tried even the basic of binds but nothing :(

All iv been trying to do is bind (while in vehicle) mouse 5 to weapon 0, iv followed the examples you guys have posted but nothing :(

Any help??

[Ifurita]

are you putting your autoexec in my docs/idsoftware/etqw/sdnet/[profile name]/base?

[WhizzIK]

i cant work out why these binds wont work anybody have any ideas


bind "F4" "clientquickchat quickchat/self/disguise/enemydisguisedasme" "" "default"
bind "HOME" "clientquickchat quickchat/global/thanks" "" "default"
bind "END" "clientquickchat quickchat/global/welcome" "" "default"
bind "PGUP" "clientquickchat quickchat/need/medic; clientquickchat quickchat/need/technician" "" "default"

thanx in advance

[Ifurita]

bind "KP_INS" "clientquickchat quickchat/global/thanks" "" "default"
bind "KP_DEL" "clientquickchat quickchat/global/sorry " "" "default"

yours looks just like mine. Are you sure your autoexec is in the right folder? See my post above yours

[WhizzIK]

think im missing something ...yes it is in the right folder haven't moved it since installation of the full game

[Marche]

Ok, I need help to record demos.

If there a way that I could set a demo to record for every multiplayer game I play. Then save each of there as a different name so there dont get overwritten? For example the name is the Time, Map, Server ect.

[WhizzIK]

Yes i understand that much but im sure i read somewhere you can do it another way without using another key but for the life of me i cant remember is it another modifier for the infiltrator class ?



Peace

finaly resolved it shit im so proud a maself fkin A
this fixes my problem

Seta g_class_context_infiltrator "infiltrator"
bind "MWHEELUP" "_weapprev" "" "infiltrator"
bind "MWHEELDOWN" "_weapnext" "" "infiltrator"


Peace

[Fade2Black_Qubenet]

Just trying to adapt my Wolf:ET binds...

Now in the afore mentioned Class Change scripts is it possible to do this:

F4 - F8 class selection (Select between them)

// The selection
bind "F9" "vstr team_swap"
seta my_team_GDF "echo ^4 Spawning GDF;"clientTeam gdf" "" "default"; seta team_swap vstr my_team_STROGG"
seta my_team_STROGG "echo ^1 Spawning STROGG;"clientTeam gdf" "" "default"; set team_swap vstr my_team_SPEC"
seta my_team_SPEC "echo ^2 Spectator Mode;"clientTeam strogg" "" "default"; seta team_swap vstr my_team_GDF"
seta team_swap "vstr my_team_STROGG"

// Selfkill
bind "F10" "kill" "ALT" "default"
bind "F10" toggle com_showFPS

So not only does F10 + ALT give a self kill to team selection toggle, F10 on its own gives FPS..

Or am I on the wrong tract?

[Boumy]

Your script will not work :

-a lot of mistake in code

-If you are Strogg and you want change class, how do you do ? You have to switch GDF before join Strogg ? :o

I personnal use two different files what I load in function of the side : a GDF and a Stoggs.cfg

Add in your autoexec :

bind "KP_MINUS" "exec strogg.cfg; clientquickchat quickchat/global/cheers/strogg" "" "default"
bind "KP_PLUS" "exec gdf.cfg; clientquickchat quickchat/global/cheers/gdf" "" "default"


Now, build 2 files strogg.cfg with bind class for strogg side :

set tech1 "clientTeam Strogg; ClientClass Technician 0; addchatline '^pR^3e^psp^1a^pwn T^3e^pchnic^1i^pan ^7~ ^pL^3a^pcerat^1o^pr'; bind F1 $tech2"
set tech2 "clientTeam Strogg; ClientClass Technician 1; addchatline '^pR^3e^psp^1a^pwn T^3e^pchnic^1i^pan ^7~ ^pN^3a^pilg^1u^pn'; bind F1 $tech1"
bind F1 $tech1

And same with gdf.cfg.

Don't forget to press the key according your camp (here + for strogg - for GDF)

[Backdraft]

Is there a way to unbind keys contextually?

IE. I have SHIFT bound as _sprint for "default", but for my "vehicle" and "air" context I would like to unbind it. The reason is because my SHIFT key is a modifier for my VOIP and I don't want any other commands to interfere with it when in a vehicle or air. Currently this does not work:


bind "SHIFT" "_sprint" "" "default"
unbind "SHIFT" "" "vehicle"
unbind "SHIFT" "" "air"


I did manage to rectify the problem by fooling the system, but it's more like a cheap workaround than a real solution. Works nonetheless though, so I can't complain too much.


bind "SHIFT" "_sprint" "" "default"
bind "SHIFT" "_stroydown" "" "vehicle"
bind "SHIFT" "_stroydown" "" "air"

[Lazrus]

How can I say this...... this is all Greek to me! I still have the default setup - and it is terrible for gameplay.

[dgk]

so wat would i have to do if i wanted to unbind alt while pressing shift, is it possible?

[(HP)Natural Causes]

this is a copy of my current autoexec, for a bare minimum spec computer, 2gighz,1gig ram, geforce 6200. i change my megadrawmethod based on the map, and the fov using g_fov 100 everytime i load the game up. i use v for context, b for quickchat, and the mouse for me has only been 2 buttons, 1 and 2, i never click anything else. i hope it can help some of you who still have default configs, as it can easily be modified to suit your pc....i must warn you though, it has gone through so many changes none of the config are listed under the appropriate header...if i could get some insight into any alterations i should make, such as the use of image_picmip, i would be motivated enough to appropriately sort the config listings and repost :) watch out for changing your chat colors, and weapontimeout, whichi use at 0.0 0.1 and 0.2 for knife running although Mechanical says he uses it at 0 for "scrolling" with your weapons.

so wat would i have to do if i wanted to unbind alt while pressing shift, is it possible?

set unbindALT "unbind ALT; bind SHIFT $bindALT"
set bindALT " bind ALT [your action]; bind SHIFT $unbindALT"
bind SHIFT $unbindALT

[Hirutashiro]

Are there plans in a patch to get "extended control menus", where you could specifically bind the keys for each class, and even each vehicle?

Doing it manually is fun only for a short while, and I think it should be a basic feature by now.

[JASGripen]

So you guys are saying you can't bind several commands in successive order? Eg I want to bind a key that switched my main to knife, stab, then switch back to previous weapon. Or a command that switches me to grenade, toss a gren, then switch back?

Perhaps answered ready. No is the answer, which has been said before. But with a G15 Keyboard you can do that stuff.

I have made a script to switch between main weapon and tool :
seta tool1 "useweapon weapon_tool1; bind MOUSE3 $main_weapon ;wait 50; bind MOUSE3 $tool1"
seta main_weapon "_weapon2"
bind "MOUSE3" "vstr tool1"

Presse 1 time MOUSE3 to use tool (defibrilator, plier, hacker,...) and 2 times MOUSE3 tu switch main weapon.

[ScottFree]

I fixed my whole problem

This is how you bind your mini-map to zoom to maximum level to minimum level and call your command map from 1 button.

set zoom1 "zoomOutCommandMap; bind KP_INS $zoom2" //Allows toggle of command map zoom levels
set zoom2 "zoomInCommandMap; bind KP_INS $zoom1" //Allows toggle of command map zoom levels

bind button $zoom1 "" "default"
//Makes mini-map zoom levels
bind "button" "_commandMap" "second button" "default"
//Call command map from the same button above when holding a second button

[Dohly]

Sorry. My question has already been answered.

[Dr_Tenma]

I have a very specific question, I skimmed the thread and didn't see it answered anywhere.

Is it possible to have different mouselook sensitivities in certain contexts only?

I use a sensitivity of 14 on foot and that works great for me, but the Trojan AA missile pod is much too slow. Also, for the Tormentor/Anansi, I'd like to increase *only* the y-axis mouse movement (the pitch only, with yaw unaffected) and only while I'm in those vehicles.

Thanks in advance.

[Ifurita]

no it isn't possible

[Boumy]

Yes it is !

It's not the perfect script but it works.
The principal issue is that sensitivity doesn't apply itself : you have to press a key (I'm using "fire" because it's a key you always use) for apply sensitivity.


//Infantery Sensitivity
seta InfSens "sensitivity 1.2; m_pitch 0.022; seta m_yaw 0.022; bind MOUSE1 $InfAttack '' 'default' ; wait 50; bind MOUSE1 $FlyerSens '' 'vehicle' "
seta InfAttack "bind MOUSE1 _attack '' 'default' "
bind MOUSE1 $InfSens '' 'default'

//vehicle sensitivity
seta FlyerSens "sensitivity 3; m_pitch 0.022 ;seta m_yaw 0.03; bind MOUSE1 $FlyerAttack '' 'vehicle' ; wait 50; bind MOUSE1 $InfSens '' 'default' "
seta FlyerAttack "bind MOUSE1 _attack '' 'vehicle'"
bind MOUSE1 $FlyerSens '' 'vehicle'

Of course, you also can make a simple toggle. But with me script it's automatic, you don't have to remember to press a key. And it also could be use for change the toggle sprint in vehicle, configur each type a vehicle setting....

[snosrap]

I'm looking for a way to toggle my netclient prediction, does any one know?

[Szakalot]

sure: bind a command like this:


"bind "x" "toggle net_clientprediction "Y" "Z""

where x is the key you want, and Y and Z are the values you want to toggle between.

You can read more about that on etqw4newbies, checkout teh sticky in the general discussion.

[snosrap]

thanks that all I need

[Panzerfire]

Hey,

Does anyone know what the command is to get out of siege ? ( in a desecrator/cyclops )

Been trying to bind alt for it ,
bind "Alt" "jump" "" "vehicle"" didnt work , nor did it with Tap Out or TapOut instead of jump.

[Szakalot]

isnt it "_moveup" ? or at least "_jump"

the easiest way to check is to type 'bind space' in the console when on foot; it will display what is binded to space (i assume its jumping in your case, which will feedback the proper command for jumping)

[darwinsGate]

thanks that all I need

What does netclient prediction do for you? on and off
