A Cry For Help

<div class="IPBDescription">Any alien build/evolve/upgrade scripts?</div> I had one for 1.04, and it increased my speed and effectiveness as an alien immeasurably. So, if any of you have done one for 2.0, could you post it up?

Rat

check general discussion, a thread called "Hey all you scripters" or somesuch, and in it is posted a link to every hotkey and impulse in NS. To bind these impulses/hotkey, open your config.cfg file in your ns directory and do

bind "key" "impulse101" (kharaa chuckle, marine "Follow Me")

and such.

Or if you'd like different binds for marine and kharaa create a new .cfg file named appropriately, and in your autoexec.cfg file put

bind "key" "exec marine.cfg"
bind "secondkey" "exec kharaa.cfg"

so that you can switch up your hotkeys. rather simple really.

These can all now be set using the in-game menu afaik.

Not all of them, but most. The in-game config just skips a few of the voice comm impulses.

If you're not using your keypad, I have my upgrades and evolutions all bound to the keys.

In alphabetical order:

1-3 is defense upgrades
4-6 is movement upgrades
7-9 is sensory upgrades

And for evolutions:

0 is skulk
del is gorge
enter is lerk
+ is fade
- is onos

here's the evolutions.cfg

Note the last 5 lines. If you don't have other configs for aliens, then take the "exec configname.cfg" parts out. And yes, I know I could echo for every upgrade, but I memorized my script - it is in alphabetical order after all to make it easier. And yes, I also know I could have left out the aliases - it is just easier for people to understand what's going on in the script this way.
