[Offer] I make your script request!

[EquilibriuM]

Well didnt know really where to post this but since you guys pretty much the best at scripts and configs, i thought i post my Q here.
ok im using the decent fps config someone posted in the forum, but for some reason all models have this white glow to them. Someone told me changing
mat_bumpmap and mat_specular both to 0 or 1 i tried that but no result.
So maybe you guys could help me with this. Actually let me just paste what i got in my autoexec i think that will help alot more instead of me trying to explain. I think the sniper and soldier dont have the glow but all other classes do.

hi soulja - have you tried changing around your dxlevels? add "-dxlevel 70", "80", "81" (which i'm currently using), or "90" to the launch options in the game's properties. That'll change the directx level fortress forever will use. I seem to vaguely remember the white glow in conjunction with dxlevel 70, but it might just be my imagination..

[DarK_TaO]

Sorry, I Can't help you with that, I don't understand FF settings very well ATM. Haven't tryed CMDS 1 by 1.

Sorry I hadn't posted this yet, but I was out of town for a few days...here is one I currently use for sabotaging...but I can whip one out for you if you have a specific request...

//     --------
//---- Sabotage ----
//     --------

alias sab_1 "sentrysabotage"
alias sab_2 "dispensersabotage"

alias sabsg "sab_1; wait; default; wait; speak vox/female/s.g."
alias sabdis "sab_2; wait; default; wait; speak vox/female/dispenser"
alias sabboth "sab_1; wait; sab_2; wait; default; wait; speak vox/female/both"

alias sabmenu "bind 1 sabsg; wait; echo 1) Sabotage SG; wait; bind 2 
sabdis; wait; echo 2) Sabotage Dispenser; wait; bind 3 sabboth; wait; echo 
3) Sabotage Both; wait; bind 0 default; wait; echo 0) Defaults"

bind ctrl "sabmenu"

How it works:

When you hit ctrl it will rebind keys 1, 2, and 3 as follows:

1 = Sabotage SG and rebind keys (back to defaults)
2 = Sabotage Disp. and rebind
3 = Sabotage All / Both and rebind
0 = Rebind to default (fail safe it you accidently hit the wrong key)

You will also want to put this in your autoexec.cfg

//     -------
//---- Default ----
//     -------
alias d_1 "wait;bind 1 slot1"
alias d_2 "wait;bind 2 slot2"
alias d_3 "wait;bind 3 slot3"
alias d_4 "wait;bind 4 slot4"
alias d_5 "wait;bind 5 slot5"
alias d_6 "wait;bind 6 slot6"
alias default "wait;d_1;wait;d_2;wait;d_3;wait;d_4;wait;d_5;wait;d_6"

Currently this is the closest we can get to the old way of things...and there is the problem that it won't show up on screen what your binds are.

I have it set now to echo them in consol so if you get confused you can hit your console and it will be shown in there (time consuming, but you generally memorize them fairly quickly)

I remember somewhere someone suggesting a messageme mode or say_me mode where you could send yourself chat messages to compensate for the loss of echo and such, but until DrEvil gets a bit and codes it in we're all pretty much SOL.

~hope it helps

[Dr.Satan]

Zero...I'm not really sure which command would be doing it...pretty much going to have to just tinker with it for a bit to see if you can figure it out.

I know most of those commands, but I'm not sure why they would be giving you the white glow...

Also have you tried emailing the creator:

"Email any questions or concerns to mattdelhey@comcast.net"

~ I know that's kind of a half asses answer, and if I get the time I will try to look into it, but it may take me a bit so you might want to try that in the meantime!

[EquilibriuM]

yes i e-mailed him he never responded. and i tried tinkering with th settings but no luck :\ thx for trying doc if you do decide to look into it a bit that be nice ill keep checking back

[pF]

Dr.Satan: Thanks a lot, i'll play around with this as soon as i find the time - again, much appreciated.


Soulja: from my own experience trying to squeeze out more fps, it had to be a combo of specular/bumpmap and possibly dxlevel. i had that strange whitish glow on one occasion as well, so i'm pretty sure you can fix it messing around with these settings. I don't have much time over the next few days, but i'll try messing around with my settings to reproduce it.

Alternatively, i could send you my autoexec.cfg if you're interested (it's based off of the same FPS cfg from the forums here)

[EquilibriuM]

ahh thx pf i willl give yours a go my friend uses it to but only what he needed he put in the autoexec to get betetr fps rly so yea paste me it and ill try it im using dx8

[pF]

Ok here goes. It's kinda messy and to be quite honest, i don't know what half of the commands do..

dsp_slow_cpu "1"		// If set to 1, reduces the quality of dsp sound effects, improving performance on systems with slower CPUs.

This is a slighty "boosted" version of the config you're using, so this might result in a drop in fps. I have an Athlon XP 2400+, 1 gig of ram, and a 256mb Geforce 6200, and I average at around 40 - 50 fps, though the open areas of aardvark, for instance, do push it down somewhat.

To "downgrade" this, try playing around with:

• mat_picmip (texture quality)
• r_lod (model detail)
• mat_forceaniso (anisotropic filtering)
• various r_shadow* settings (shadow settings)
• mat_specular & mat_bumpmap (both set either to 1 or 0)

Most of them should be changeable in-game via console, so you can take a look around and see how they affect things.

If anybody has comments on the cvars/settings, they'd certainly be appreciated. My insight into what most of them actually do is pretty diffuse.

Oh, and my launch properties of FF in Steam is this:

-console -noforcemspd -noforcemparms -noforcemaccel -heapsize 512000 -dxlevel 81 +exec autoexec.cfg

(adjust heapsize to half of your system ram)


Write back on how it went!

[Handym]

I need a script where you attack with your held weapon, then scloak immedeatly after.. I tried Hammocks script, it didn't work.

[Dr.Satan]

alias +stab "+attack"
alias -stab "-attack; wait; scloak"
bind g "+stab"

enjoy!

[Handym]

This actually works, thanks a lot Satan!

[Dr.Satan]

np man...I made it for my spy.cfg a while back so it was just a copy and paste job!

[Handym]

Yea well, stabbing someone while cloaked, then immedeatly recloaking in the matter of a split second really is awesome.

[Dr.Satan]

yeah...I actually tend to use it more for the traq...cause when I stab someone with a back stab and it's successful I've found I die more often if I cloak immediately then if I just stand there like nothing happened (cause you steal their skin / disguise).

[Handym]

BUMP. I wonder if this is possible: A script for the classes with both shotguns..
When bound key is pressed, you fire your super shotgun, then switch to normal shotgun, then switch to super shotgun, then switch to normal, et cetera. Can it be done via scripting?

[zE]

Example of classes.cfg

echo SNIPER CFG LOADED

alias sniperg "slot2; bind MOUSE4 ar"
alias ar "slot3; bind MOUSE4 sniperg"
bind "MOUSE4" "sniperg"
bind "MOUSE5" "slot4"

echo ENGINEER CFG LOADED

alias gpipe "slot3; bind MOUSE4 bpipe"
alias bpipe "slot1; bind MOUSE4 gpipe"
bind MOUSE4 gpipe
bind "MOUSE5" "slot2"

and in CFG i use bind "MOUSE4" "rpg"

not sure if its right :P

i use mouse 4 to change between my prefered 2 weapons of each class and mouse 5 to use the less powerfull weapon, for when i run out of reload.

[Jester]

zE why does your engineer have blue pipes and green pipes? HACKER!

Handym please describe what you want more clearly.

[zE]

lolz h4x indeed^^ prolly forget to change the name of it, but still works

[Handym]

I'll try to. I wanted it so that when bound key is held, you fire your super shotgun, then switch to normal shotgun, fire that, switch to super again, fire that, so you fire one shot from one gun, then quickly switch to the other, and fire that. When you release, it stops and switches back to primary weapon, depending on class.
