Fortress Forever basic binds/commands

[Da Spadger]

Yep, repeatedly.

Of course, it could be because my keyboard is different from the american ones. Those doesn't have Å, Ä and Ö for example. :/

I´ve some problems here with my cfg files. I hope you can help me out here.

I´ve one 'config.cfg' that looks like:


And have one 'config'_default.cfg' that looks like:


As you can see, the 'config.cfg' (created when I joined the game for the first time) don´t have the comands and binds listed one by one per line. I don´t know if it´s the problem but some binds in-game didn´t work.

For exemple: I´ve one bind that I typed on both configs (config.cfg and config_default.cfg) to use with 'L' key. In-game the 'L' key was used for other action (in this case, it was assigned to the FlashLight, I checked the keyboard options and the key to FlashLight was other).
Any ideia of what´s wrong here? Because I don´t know if I need to use both cfg files or only one.

One more thing:
I´ve this bind:

bind "L"		"say_team Team! I´m [ %c ] , with [ %h ] life, @ [ %l ] !!! "

But in-game its don´t work.

The next binds aren´t working too:

bind "kp_ins" "saveme; say_team Help! My  Life: %h"
bind "kp_del" "engyme; say_team Help! I´ve only: %a"

Thanks and sorry for my bad english.

put that stuff in autoexec.cfg

make sure your numlock is on, if that does make a difference, im not at home so i cant tell if it does in game..

I glanced through the thread and didn't see anything about this, but is there any way to send something to the chat box without having to do a say_team or a say? Sort of like echo (I think it was echo for Quake... been a LONG time)?

I'd like to preview classes in a disguise script I've got going before selecting what to disguise as.

It WAS echo. However, STEAM killed echo. Since STEAM came out, the echo command only shows in the console.

[PorkChopVII]

oh ya because doesnt do the developer mode right? where you can see the messages in top left corner or whatever?

in replacement if you want information on how to add sound effects that only you will hear ask me ill hook you up.. when my demo enters says "PIPE CLEANUP" woooooooooooooo

[Rayzor]

hm i cant test that now, cos heres no ff installed.. but

developer "1"

worked for my old tfc scripts to show "echoes" in upper left.

Ok, the binds (medic, armour) are now working (thanks for the tip about autoexec) but not the 'Flashlight' thing. It´s really weird, don´t know why my 'L' key is automatically assigned for this.

Well the OLD echo did not need developer mode enabled. Having Dev enabled drove me nuts in TFC because the messages were non-stop.

[skuLL]

Pheeeeew.
This will make class-specific binds a LOT easier to make.

BTW, I haven't played FF yet.
I had to travel to get the USA Visa. Stayed in line for 4 hours.
I'll be back home tomorrow for some FF fragging.

Is there a way to give yourself all the weapons like in TFC? or one at a time?( In listen server) via give tf_weapon or something, I know it changed but just wondering.

Edit: Please help me!!

The command you are looking for is toggleconsole, bind that manually to some key of your choice and I'd think it should work.

developer "1"
echo THIS IS AN ECHO!
developer "0"

Much better tbh :P

Yes - Spot on. Once a STEAM update took out echo, I changed my Engineer wrench alias to activate/deactivate developer mode. That let me see the contents of a dispenser w/o having to read dev code non-stop.

[PorkChopVII]

didnt think they actualy took out echo, because im able to have messages display from echo in console. granted i cant get the delevoper mode to work, so not tripping, but i thought you can still echo messages

[schizodefective]

is it possible to bind admin commands to keys?
e.g admin_chat, admin_csay ect

thanks for any help

[PorkChopVII]

actually wanted to find that out, BUT whats cool about tools like mani is that you can use normal say commands to exec admin commands, like "@say hi my name is Bob McGee, what would you like on your burger."

but if you are refering to like normal rcon commands ya you can. I dont think you can custom make a message mode like you could with HL engine.

I hope this information helps, if you need me to elaborate then ask.

[Acciaccatura]

Are map specific configs supported yet? I've got a few communication binds I'd like to be customisable per map. If they are already in, I'm probably missing a cvar or something, any ideas?

Great work on the mod guys.

[PorkChopVII]

where you placing your map.cfg file?

[Acciaccatura]

Straight in the cfg directory, named ff_well.cfg , as per TFC.
