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

[Apathy]

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

[mullen1200]

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

[Coma]

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

[4est]

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.

[Doughnut-4|4-]

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
exec binds.cfg
exec classdefault.cfg

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.

exec settings.cfg

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.

[Doughnut-4|4-]

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

how bout some fps commands!?

[Marshmallow Noob]

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.

[tu!]

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

[Red_Rabbit]

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

No. It's simply coded into the game.

[Tarron]

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

[groovyf]

try simply bind "1" "class scout"

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

[Doughnut-4|4-]

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

[latimerinho]

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..
