101st_Pfc_Snake

<div class="IPBDescription">strange problem...</div> ok everytime i try and set up my keys it lets me.then when i go ingame my keys are totally different and some of which are even reset to blank(no key) now i just recently installed a custom game and whatnot for ns and overwrote a wad file but since then i have reinstalled ns and it still has the same problem...

Do you have 2 seperate installs of Half-Life or CS retail? 2 NS folders? Your changing one but running the other. Make sure your shortcuts or the way you start and edit your game all point to the same NS folder.

[edit] Dont use the desktop shortcut NS creats for you, its bugged [/edit]

Or if you have 2 NS folder, then change the other to "NS.bak". Then the keys will be the same, no matter which NS you launch and change the keys.

This needs to get explained a lot more clearly for us to be able to help you Snake.

And you guys cannot blame the desktop shortcut for everything - it only has one problem, and that's giving a server list through the ingame browser. THAT'S IT. It is not going to cause you issues with key mappings, video issues, world hunger, or anything else - Just giving a proper list of servers through the ingame browser.

Repeat after me:

If you do not have an answer to a problem that you know will help through your own expertise or experience, please do not post in here. It just creates dumb rumors and confuses people that are already confused and upset.

/mini rant over. Carry on.

ok example i go to configuration then controls then lets say i wanted to set my forward motion to the forward arrow key...well after i have set that key the way i want it and launch into a server any server the key is no longer existant (means the keys is no longer working) then i quit the server go to config and to what my surprise all the key setup's and whatnot are left blank except for a few...

Well when I had this SAME problem, it was caused by having two [2] NS folders. I was changing the config.cfg in 1 NS folder but actually running the game out of another NS folder.

The 2nd NS folder was being used by VHammer for mapping.

actualy it sounds like he is going directly from the config menu to launching...

ok, here is the deal tell us:
CS retail Vs HL Vs Dod Retail
How do you browse servers? (Ingame browser, GS, <a href='http://www.udpsoft.com/eye2/index.html' target='_blank'>All Seeing Eye</a>)

now, here are a few things:

Learn to script (you should know how to any way) <a href='http://half-life.gamehelp.com/' target='_blank'>I AM HL</a> is a good site that will help you learn
primarily binds, they are your friends (changing controlls on the fly)

try ussing <a href='http://www.udpsoft.com/eye2/index.html' target='_blank'>All Seeing Eye</a> to join a server, then hit escape and go through the config menu and change all of your binds. Then go back into the game (if you were disconed simply type retry in the con)

see what happens.

OH, and ANSWER MY QUESTIONS!
