When did they add alias? I haven't really tested on Quake/II/III/Live, but in Half-Life's Gold Source and Source alias works great.

They didn't.

fox's config had aliases in from what i remember, go download it and check out hwo he does it :P

www.fojji.se

Yeah it has plenty of regular vstr's but none of them are +/-commands which I mean.

ah not sure then sorry :X

doesnt work
you have to use vstr like in fox's config

how do you make a vstr which works the way i said? :f example?

there is such a command in ET
set cooller1 command1
set cooller2 command2
bind x +vstr cooller1 cooller2
but it seems that there's sadly no such thing in QL :S

q3 (or cpma?) later added a way to do this iirc. there is no such thing in ql though.

damn that sucks ass :[

thanks for the info

It is currently impossible. I have been nagging SyncError for this feature since before open beta. They seem to have something against it, hinting vaguely to potential abuse (of which I can think of none).

they should start supporting 'multiple' binds first... stuff like 'bind x +dropflag, say_team flag dropped' would make team games easier :<

is this some kind of joke i'm not getting?

bind x "dropflag; say_team dropped the flag, bros"

semi-colons to separate each command

uhm yeah that's what i meant. i'd like to drop stuff and have a teamsay on the same button.

uhh, you can do binds like that np :)

only case that im aware of where it doesnt work is when you have dropweapon as a part of it, then it just executes one command :(

it works with dropflag but not with dropweapon?

this: bind x "dropweapon;+button2" works btw... there's no logic behind it :X

it works fine, you just have to put the say_team first

bind x "say_team <DROPPED>; dropweapon"

that works, give it a try.

unfortunately that doesn't work in online matches (only in practice)

noticed that in fox cfg

set dropuse "dropweapon;+button2;wait 5;-button2"
set tdm "bind mouse3 vstr dropuse;unbind ctrl"

what is the button2 and unbind ctrl ?

+button2 is "use item" in q3/ql and what it does is make a "click" sound that is loud enough to be heard by your teammates. atleast that's what i use it for :p

fox unbinds ctrl which is his rj script iirc. no idea why... maybe he doesn't want to have this bound in tdm for fear of accidentially hitting it.

I have push-to-talk for ventrilo on CTRL, that is why.

aha

u have to use wait for some reason but works fine with it .

bind KP_DOWNARROW "dropweapon; wait 130; say_team ^7Weapon ^1DROPPED"

Where are the chat tokens :E

It's possible (via a little workaround). See post #29

+commands COME BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE or it doesn't work so great.

+attack; say Die

Download my Config/Hotkeys Menu mod. Works with any Quake engine game/mod. The keyboard menu is for Half-Life's Source/Gold Source engine. But you can view it with a text editor like NotePad.
http://www.moddb.com/mods/elements-of-war/downloads/1337-board-v6

can you explain the keyboard menu?

Don't encourage him.

Yes, you can effectively have +vstr in quake live. If your bothered, I'll do another post with some of the scripts from my config.

yeaah give :D

K, here u go; its a bit of a workaround, but it works. You have to use +attack or +zoom along with a vstr, which alternates between being set between two other vstr's (like a zoomtoggle script, b4 there was cg_zoomtoggle in ql).

bind mouse1 "+attack;vstr smartsense2"

bind r vstr weap6

set weap6 "weapon 6 ;cg_drawgun 2;cg_fov 102.5;cg_zoomfov 102.5;com_blood 0;sensitivity 4.00;cg_drawcrosshair 6;cg_crosshairsize 60;vstr pitchlg;vstr offset5;cg_zoomtoggle 0;-attack;exec lgbinds;vstr resetlg" //0.100

set pitch "m_pitch 0.018;m_yaw 0.018;set smartsense vstr meh;set smartsense2 vstr meh"
set pitchlg "m_pitch 0.018;m_yaw 0.018;set smartsense2 vstr lglowsense;set smartsense vstr meh"
set pitchgt "m_pitch 0.018;m_yaw 0.018;set smartsense2 vstr meh;set smartsense vstr attack1"
set pitchmg "m_pitch 0.018;m_yaw 0.018;set smartsense vstr mglowsense"
set lglowsense "m_pitch 0.022;m_yaw 0.022;sensitivity 2;cg_drawcrosshair 7;cg_crosshairsize 33.7;cg_drawgun 0;set smartsense2 vstr resetsenselg"
set mglowsense "m_pitch 0.022;m_yaw 0.022;sensitivity 2;cg_drawgun 0;set smartsense2 vstr resetsensemg"
set rllowsense "m_pitch 0.020;m_yaw 0.020;sensitivity 3.9;cl_mouseaccel 0.15;set smartsense vstr resetsenserl"
set resetsenselg "sensitivity 4;vstr pitch;cg_drawcrosshair 6;cg_crosshairsize 60;cg_drawgun 2;set smartsense2 vstr lglowsense"
set resetsensemg "sensitivity 4.26;vstr pitch;cg_drawcrosshair 9;cg_crosshairsize 24;cg_drawgun 2;set smartsense2 vstr mglowsense"
set meh "echo meh"
set smartsense "vstr meh"
set reset "bind tab vstr weapV"
set resetlg "bind tab vstr weapV;set smartsense2 vstr lglowsense"
set resetmg "bind tab vstr weapV;set smartsense2 vstr mglowsense"
set attack1 "+attack;set smartsense vstr attack2"
set attack2 "-attack;-attack;-attack;-attack;-attack;set smartsense vstr attack1"

The stuff below goes into a lgbinds.cfg:
_______________________________________________

bind space "+attack;vstr resetsenselg;vstr resetsmartsense"
set resetsmartsense "set smartsense2 vstr lglowsense"
bind mouse1 "+attack;vstr smartsense2"

_______________________________________________

It kind of all makes sense when you have the whole config, but that stuff should all just work if you put it into one config (including the lgbinds part), and exec. If your really, really bothered, I can upload a rar with my current ql cfg+hud+voting scripts (a little menu appears with a picture of each map, and then you can push enter to call to vote for that map)

I hope this is of some use!

Bit too confusing to me... :(

I want to change crosshair when zooming, how could I do that?

It's quite easy to make with toggle-style zooming, but I don't want that, I want to use +zoom / -zoom with different crosshair when zooming. Any help? +vstr obviously would be the solution but..

Thanks!

bind urfavzoomkey "+button5;vstr izoom;-button5"
set izoom "vstr zoomon"
set zoomon "your zoomed settings;set izoom vstr zoomoff"
set zoomoff "your unzoomed settings;set izoom vstr zoomon"

Works like a dream, THANKS!

Upload the rar plz :)

Yeah, it's a nice hack but unfortunately only works on mouse buttons.

I'm not so sure about that, as I've had it working on the space button as well. It should be ok on other buttons, unless you've tried it?

I recognize the script. I just remember it working without complication only on mouse buttons in Q3. Perhaps it works in QL :)

use +vstr kthnx

Nerd talk just went off the fucking scale

So now it work after the update? :O

Works for me.

Example:

alias +tst "say test1"
alias -tst "say test 2"

bind pgup "+tst"

clown.

It seems to work for me too...

bind MOUSE2 "+zoom1"
alias +zoom1 "cg_fov 52;cg_drawcrosshair 7"
alias -zoom1 "cg_fov 110;cg_drawcrosshair 3"

^^ Thats an example of zooming with crosshair adjustment...

alias campgrounds "callvote map campgrounds"

^^ With this you can just type campgrounds into the console and it will vote for the map. You can also just type camp then press tab and it will auto fill it for you.

bind MOUSE2 "+button5;vstr izoom;-button5"
set izoom "vstr zoomon"
set zoomon "cg_fov 52;set izoom vstr zoomoff"
set zoomoff "cg_fov 110;set izoom vstr zoomon"

^^ This is a vstr script that works just like +vstr. In case anyone has any trouble with the alias command...

bind MOUSE2 "+zoom1"
alias +zoom1 "cg_fov 52;cg_drawcrosshair 7"
alias -zoom1 "cg_fov 110;cg_drawcrosshair 3"

Using this i modified it into my own zoom version. But I want the zoomtoggle to stay on. Because this is hold and release. I want click and click.

bind MOUSE2 "+zoom1"
alias +zoom1 "+zoom;cg_drawcrosshair 7"
alias -zoom1 "+zoom;cg_drawcrosshair 0"

What do now? :) The hold and release way doesnt suit me.

cg_zoomtoggle 1, much ?

doesnt work that way.

Can't see why unless you really want something as retarded as the script above suggests.
It's a simple 1init + 2steps vstr loop.

If youre asking if i want no crosshair for all of the time except when im zoomed in? ye. thats my goal. :D

Can't rely on zoomtoggle then cause it won't reset your shit when you die.

bind MOUSE2 "vstr retard1"
seta vstr retard1 "cg_fov moron; sensitivity specialneeds; cg_drawcrosshair 7; bind mouse2 vstr retard2"
seta vstr retard2 "cg_fov derp; sensitivity jamerio; cg_drawcrosshair 0; bind mouse2 vstr retard1"

Should be easy to debug.

Those variable names are priceless :-)

vstr retard, sensitivity specialneeds :-PPPP

I appreciate ur input on this matter. Was a hilarious one at that

That's probably the silliest thing I've ever scripted :D
In case you don't know the formula to calculate the zoomed in sens :
http://www.ncts.at/files/sens_accel_calculation.txt

Lowering sens and incrasing a bit accel when u shot with LG, when u let go returns to normal

alias +attlg "+attack; sensitivity 1.0;cl_mouseAccel 0.2"
alias -attlg "-attack; sensitivity 1.6;cl_mouseAccel 0.1"

Bind e "weapon 6;bind MOUSE1 +attlg"
and all other weaps
Bind [KEY] "weapon %;bind MOUSE1 +attack"

The only problem is when u change weapon while shooting it wont stop firing :P

u may find here how to solve that problem:
http://emsixteen.pastebin.com/w7CnxjQ6

This is by far the most useful thing I've come across on esr.

Thanks, I've needed something like this for the longest. It works flawlessly. Just put "bind mouse1 +attack" on all other weapon binds to get rid of the "bind mouse1 +attlg" effect when you change weapons.

seriously dont you guys notice that the post has been made ages ago, way before the patch?

Nah. Necroposting is an art in itself.

i see wut u did there

Well, I'm an artist myself.
