Some questions from a cs newb

Hi

It's frustrating knowing so much about q3 configs but so little about HL/CS ones ;) Would someone please help me out .....

1 Can I set T/CT models to force to one type for each using a line in my .cfg? I either shoot my team, or try to shake hands with the enemy by mistake cos i cant recognise them ;)

2 How do I get rid of the gun model from my view?

3 Is there some place i can get a good guide/.cfg for adding those in-game "enemy here" type comms?

4 How do I enable the voice comms in cs? Everyone but me has the speaker icon next to their name and I want to shout at the welsh dammit! ;)

5 Is there a decent guide to making some buy scripts? Last time I tried it didnt work ..... I think cos of all that wait;wait;wait crap

6 What am I doing wrong? I seem to unload all my ammo into someones face (ooo er ;)) and they don't die ....... but stick my head out for a micro-second and im toast! ;)

At any sort of distance except up close, burst fire. Thats one or two bullets only with AK, or 3 or 4 with an M4. The MP5 you can just hold the button down and fire, because its gay :)
Up close, just let go is my advice, but remember to aim low cos the recoil tends to shoot most bullets over the targets head .
The speaker symbol is never next to your own name ! Dunno why, it just aint. Make sure your speaker is working via the speaker setup thing next to the halflife shortcut on programs on windows. Also make sure you know the key you have allocated for it ! :)
Here is a good list of commands for Half Life / CS http://www.techspot.com/tweaks/cstrike/index.shtml

Last thing, dont ever say the phrase CFG in a game of Counter-Strike, they're all bloody noobs and naturally assume that means you're cheating !

1. cl_minmodels 1
2. r_drawviewmodel 0
3. probably
4. ensure voiceenabled (in configuration, then bind a key :
bind ? +voicerecord
5. try www.ninjaassociation.co.uk
6. netcode - check choke / loss using net_graph 3 in console. Either that or hide behin throddy - everyone else does and theres still plenty of room

Hope the CS'ing goes well Chameleon (sp).

Oh, and don't get rid of your gun. For quake I know it's good to have no weapon model, but for CS you'll find it helpful.

He's right about the gun thing too Cham. If you're only doing it ala Q3 to raise fps dont worry, theres no real advantage to very high FPS, in fact it will only go to 100 anyway.
As an example D0lly used to be really good and beat most people, and he was avarageing between 40 and 60 fps.
Lazarus you can always spot, he's the one who's dead first ;)

Oi!.

That was for the good of the team (honest)

:p

and, btw Ch@meleon, throddy, for one, was telling the truth. Its better to "see" the gun since when you reload, you can tell precisely when the reloading animation is finished and you are ready to shoot again.

OI! I still am good, kinda. If you count raping peeps in an internal uni LAN with a CS population of about 100 :(

/me weeps.

I am king of the noobs. I am king of nothing much at all :(

/me misses days of the sh33p clan.

Leave it all default dammit

and the reason why people dont die/you die fast is just an illusion created by the shitty inconsistent way that CS works..

thanks for the further info.

Another question for ya .......

I have the line

r_displayrefresh "85"

in my autoexec, which matches my monitors refresh rate.

A few days ago CS would always show fps at 99, but since upgrading to a GF4 ti4800se, it always says fps = 60 now :wall:

Is this something I've overlooked in cs since upgrading, or is it more likely to be this nvidia refresh rate fix thing that I remember I used to have? If so, anyone have a link to it please?

if your on cable or adsl, add

cl_cmdrate 101
cl_updaterate 101
rate 25000
to your config.

if your getting loss/choke lower them 20 at a time :x

ok, ok, more questions :)

I assigned all those wav voice comms to different keys in my .cfg and they work great ...... but it seems to have ignored what I bound to F1 and F2. When I press F1, it doesn't do the command my .cfg has bound to it, but brings up a little 'help' box instead. WTF? Are these keys already predetermined for other things and can't be bound? very strange.

Also, the radar seems to disappear on some maps. Is this a feature of the map or my cfg's going bonkers again?

I can actually kill people now though ...... and even finished one game with more kills than deaths lol :) yah!

to bind keys to F1 and F2 you will have to rename a file within Windows Explorer :


Look in the valve folder for a file called GameUI.dll. It should be in \\Sierra\Half-Life\valve\cl_dlls if its a MOD install.

Rename this file (i.e. add .bak to the end of the file name)

This will allow F1 and F2 to work.


Radar does accosioanlly disappear. Leave it for a while to see if it comes back (btw - you dont have radar when dead;) )

a ha, thanks very much! It is the retail version, but I should be able to find the file.
You CS people know what your talking about ;)

I'm still playing, but on the LAN. Summer (June) will see me home again and on the net. Hopefully I'll get ADSL and then I'll be back forever...
