Message binds.

[throdgrain]

This is an odd one. In half-life games I can bind (using aliases) 2 words to keys, ie "affirmative" and "negative". However when I try to bind the third it simply will not do it, even though it is typed correctly etc.
I thought this was a half life problem, but Ive since discovered the same problem on SoF 2 as well.
is it something I dont know about ?
Sorry if this is the wrong place to put this thread, but I cant think of anywhere else ...

What do you mean "2 words to keys" ?

 

[Will]

Throd...I should be able to help you with this, but I'm not quite sure what you mean. If you explain what you want to happen when you press keys, I'll see what's going wrong.

 

[throdgrain]

OK, sorry if I wasnt very clear
In CS, using aliases, I have the key " A" bound to say "affirmative", and the key "S" bound to say "negative". It all works fine. However, when I bind another key , say "D", to say "cover me" for example, it just does not bloody work !! The first two binds work great, but after that, nothing. I use Exactly the same commands as the first two, but nothing.
The same thing with SoF2, only using vsay instead of aliases, yes and no are fine, but the third bind results in silence

 

[Will]

That makes no sense at all throd. I understand what you are saying, but there is no reason why it doesn't work. I'll speak to you on IRC after work, you can send me your .cfg and I'll take a gander. Sound good?

 

[Jonty]

Just one thing, are you quoting the phrases? All Quake games will bind keys for single words; e.g.

/bind [i]somekey[/i] say Hail

However, to bind phrases (i.e. more than one word) quotes are needed; e.g.

/bind [i]somekey[/i] say "Hail to the King, baby!"
[b]... not ...[/b]
/bind [i]somekey[/i] say Hail to the King, baby!

Just a guess, as it does seem an odd problem. No doubt the .cfg will reveal all Be sure to let us all know what was causing the trouble.

Kind Regards

 

[Wij]

Post your cfg yes

 

[throdgrain]

Ok, then I will


Err, later on though.

I might add, I never had this problem with q2, or q3, or rtcw, just so far with cs and then sof2.

This should make fun reading

I heard punkbuster refuses to let through swear words in some cases...case in question being a player called Dr Kukken...PB wouldn't allow him to use that alias(this was for q3) ...I assume that your not trying to bind taunts like "faggot tickler", "bollock brain" etc etc

 

[leggy]

God throd,

I can use the gui quicker than that buy script you have

 

[Will]

Throd, easy answer.

Go to Nextwish and download his script pack. Just use it instead of your own.

You can thank me later.

Though it doesn't solve your problem at all.

 

[throdgrain]

No i wont do that

You cant use the gui quicker than that Leggy

One press of F1 buys me a deagle, full ammo and armour. Saves loads of time.
Shame I cant say 3 things thats all.

 

[Will]

There is no logical reason why that third bind doesn't work.

 

[throdgrain]

I know Will . It just doesn't !

 

[Will]

lol, worked it out. Change it from "cover me" to "cover_me".

 

[leggy]

j00 aer teh CS n00b ffs!

 

[throdgrain]

I read that last night and thought you was kidding Will
But it works !

Thanks mate

 

[Will]

/me takes a bow

 

[Wij]

Bah - I was about to say that. I should have read it earlier so I could look "teh clevar" !!
