Nice! being able to have the SG aim towards where your crosshair is awesome!

Thanks, nice to have some commands for FF without having to use the horrible source GUI.

How do I get a bind to work with commands that have spaces in them? I was trying to do bind [ disguise enemy soldier

but it gave me binding instructions, because it had spaces in it.. Thanks for help

bind [ "disguise enemy soldier"
or disguise "enemy soldier" (not sure, can't check)

Nice work Goovyf. That is 1000% more readable than the stuff I threw together in the beta forums. You just saved a lot of people some work and confusion.

Class Bind Tutorial
 

I know how to set binds in console but how do you set player specific binds? Edit the scripts, right? I'd love a tutorial.

I also noticed the console is hard bound to tilde. Can this be moved?

If you want specific commands/binds for each class, simply create the following:

demoman.cfg
engineer.cfg
hunted.cfg
hwguy.cfg
medic.cfg
pyro.cfg
scout.cfg
sniper.cfg
soldier.cfg
spy.cfg

Some ppl just throw all binds and aliases into autoexec.cfg. That works fine for most players.


If you want to make your life more difficult, Flamewave had a rather funky system of configs and learned to do this from his website. You have to create 3 new files, binds.cfg, settings.cfg and classdefault.cfg

binds.cfg - contains all non-specific binds
settings.cfg - contains all settings
classdefault.cfg - contains all aliases (almost all)

Nothing is in autoexec.cfg.

Each class config only contains class specific binds aliases and nothing else. They start with:

unbindall - wipes out all keys ** DO NOT USE IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING**
binds.cfg - has all general use binds
classdefault.cfg - contains all non-specific aliases

The last line in binds.cfg executes the settings.cfg file.
Naturally, settings.cfg it only contains settings.
Here are the ones I'm using for some aliasing examples: http://www.4estgimp.com/HL2/FF/cfg.rar

*spy.cfg is NOT finished yet* and could cause issues.

Where do these cfg files go? Can I just copy my tfc cfg files and alter a few binds?

Steam\steamapps\SourceMods\FortressForever\cfg

how bout some fps commands!? ;)

How do u make it where u don't die when u switch classes?

An issue was lodged in another thread where it was said that an option for this does not exist in the GUI. There might be a cvar for it, but you would have to ask a dev about that.

does cl_autoreload 1 delay weapons like it does for autoreload scripts in tfc?

cl_classautokill "1" that line is in the config, change it to 0

No. It's simply coded into the game.

hay, wonder if anyone could help with my script

in my old tfc script i used this
Bind "1" "scout"
Bind "2" "sniper"
Bind "3" "soldier"
Bind "4" "demoman"
Bind "5" "medic"
Bind "6" "hwguy"
Bind "7" "pyro"
Bind "8" "spy"
Bind "9" "engineer"
Bind "0" "changeteam"
to change between players so the next time you died you'd swap to that class.
so what are the new commands to select a class?

to fix ive tried
bind x "changeclass;wait;slot3"
but that doesnt work as when you are on the change class menu it doesnt recognize slot1-0 as a selection, only the physical press of 1-0

try simply bind "1" "class scout"

In console it should say you'll respawn as scout after next death (or similar)

Spy Disguise Bind
 

For spy can someone tell me how to bind disguise enemy soldier to "x" please?

Looks like I'll be spending most of tonight creating cfg's for my classes then.

Thanks for the heads-up. This should be a useful reference - but most of the commands are the same as they were in TFC, so it should jog my memory a little..

many thanks lol, feel dumb now ;D

bind "x" "disguise enemy soldier" - would you believe it's as simple as that :)

I have a question, actually. I'm at work so I cannot check this at the moment but:

Is there a console command to display your Health & Armour like in TFC? It was %h and %a - can I assume it's the same?

Also, is there a 'location' bind as well?

For instance, "I have the flag with %h|%a at <map location>" - I noticed in the bottom left it displays the map locations, e.g. flag room etc, so I would assume there is a command for this?

Annnnd, if you want to bind F11 say, to load a cfg is it "bind "f11" exec "configname.cfg" ?

Indeed there is: %l
%c also shows your class

Binding keys to exec cfgs is correct as your post.

[Edit: 1st post updated]

"cl_ragdoll_deathview" "1"

// For a violent death view


The best command evar!

Just as I thought. Thanks.

Another question (the last one, I promise!) -

If I were to seperate commands, do you still use the semi-colon ';' character?

For instance:

Bind "Z" "saveme"; say_team "I need A Medic!" - just accompanies text with the sound.

No need for the extra quote marks :)

bind "x" "engyme; say_team in need of Engy for armour! Armour: %a"

bah im dumb see post above

heh, lets try this out:

Never disguise as the same class twice!

Obviously, taking out sniper is often a good idea. And you can mix it up as you see fit.

now here is my question. Is there a way to implement randomness into something?
an example in psudocode:
thus making it all really random?

(if this is not doable I will probably just make a nice random generation for my self and make the list longer)

can any1 tell me how to do a 1 key alias for build/det dispencer and build/dismantle/det sg pls

A few questions about configs :p

Whats the command to set model detail to low? As when I change it in options next time I load FF it defaults to High.
Also what gives better fps trilinear or blininear? And whats the command for that? As that also defaults to Antisomeat 2X

On a side note does anyone have or plan to make a high fps config for those of us with shit PCs?

Does the wait; command still work the same as it did in tfc? (So I can remove/edit/add old tfc binds)

Is dropitems still the command to throw the flag?

Is messagemode record and stop record still the commands for demo recording?

And finally not a config question but which ATI drivers would anyone recommended for a Radeon 9700Pro to get the best performance for FF???

Thanks! :)

I'd love to see something like this since i'm sure many of us would love to enjoy a steady framerate...

Something like this =D

Just now saw that it released, hate when i miss the exact momment when something releases.

Right now at work so havent been able to try it, but i do have time to convert some of my person cfgs that ive made from tfc, lot are transposed but then some i know i need to just update the commands.

Quick question
Is there going to be maps that will support up to 3+ teams, "other than hunted".
Reason why i ask is i got a huge file for my spy cfgs for quick access to any team disguise and was wondering how that will be handled in the script

will it be something like this:
"disguise green demoman"

or will be be something different. Sorry if this has been answered else where, trying to get caught up on all the features etc :D.

yus.

one of the devs said that it works as such:
Disguise enemy/friendly/colour Class

enemy apparently borks on maps with more then red/blue, so you have to use the colour.

Thank you for confirming that for me ^_^

Is there any vox cmds, using the "speak"command from TFC that can be used?

Just curious, the spy disguise cycler i use for TFC "speaks" a word related to that class when i select it, so i know which one i have qued up, then i have another button i press that wil actully switch to that disguise speaking a differnt word letting me know its set.

for example; when i cycle through, when it selects, scout, it speaks lieutenant, guard for sniper, soldier for soldier, atomic for demo. when i actuly set the guise the other button will speak the word "armed".

I'm in the process of converting my current config over and that basicly the last piece of info i'm trying to find out for the vox.

Yes, just put the correct path to the vox in your config. There are 3 different vox sets, so you have to add the right directory in the speak config lines. There's a post from mervaka on how exactly it should look somewhere.. If you just look in the game directory where the vox is, you should be able to figure it out. Otherwise search by posts he's made. =D

*edit bah did it myself :P*

sweet! thats for the fast replay. i'll look into as asap.


PS- LOVE THE GAME! i woulda posted th love for it and the question yesterday but i was to busy playing! Excellent piece of work you guys pulled off! cheers!



Edit- Love the fact that there is class specific "speak" words. works so much better.

I think that you mean +attack2, havn't checked to be sure but i think +medengymenu is the thing to ask for armor/health.
