<div class="IPBDescription">arrows, wasd, numpad?</div> just curious what keys people use to control your player.

i go for the arrow keys, and the surrounding keys for special functions.

    Mouse2: Menu
    Mouse3: Flashlight
    Mouse4: Reload
    Mouse5: Drop weapon
    Scrollup: "Follow me"/ *chuckle*
    Scrolldown: say /stuck
    Kp_Ins: Jump
    Del: Spraypaint
    End: Voice

    Shift: walk

    Kp_1: Slot 1 weapons
    Kp_2: Slot 2 weapons
    Kp_3: Slot 3 weapons
    Kp_4: Slot 4 weapons


    That's about it, having buttons set to slots is the best thing to have in NS with hud_fastswitch enabled. That way you can switch your weapons instantly, giving you huge advantage, specially as an alien. Another thing that's important, make sure you have a good keyboard that will recognize at least 3 different buttons hit at once.

    WASD - Movement
    E - Crouch
    Q - Jump
    Space - Use.
    F - Aimbot..... er...... no, F isn't bound to anything......... <_< >_>

    Everything is pretty much set up as the defaults.

    I used the arrows in Wolfenstein, I used the arrows in Doom, I used the arrows in Duke Nukem, I used the arrows in Quake, I use wasd in Half-Life, I now use wasd in every fps. The reason I don't use the arrows is because i find it very hard to make a duck-jump when using them. And ::esuna:: , how do you move while ducking or jumping?

    wasd
    crouch=shift
    talk=alt, or back key on mouse
    jump=space
    reload=middle mouse button
    use=e
    flashlight=foreward button on mouse

    ctrl=alt fire
  • im_lostim_lost TWG Rule Guru Join Date: 2003-04-26 Member: 15861Members
    wasd - move
    spacebar:jump
    ctrl:crouch
    zxcvb: volve skulk, gorge, lerk, fade, onos
    f:lastinv
    e: use
    r: reload
    9: jointeamone
    0: jointeatwo
    -: spectate
    =: autoassign

    This is a little off topic, but my jointeamone and jointeamtwo binds seem to have a little problem. When I first join a server or after a map change they work fine, but if a game ends and the map doesn't change then the binds don't work. Any idea why?

    ' = say "Down Boy." (both are immature i know <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> )

    i think i got you all beat for just playing weird


    bind "SPACE" "+jump"
    bind "c" "+duck"
    bind "e" "+use"
    bind "q" "+voicerecord"
    bind "r" "messagemode2"
    bind "s" "+speed"
    bind "t" "messagemode"
    bind "v" "+showmap"
    bind "x" "+moveright"
    bind "z" "+moveleft"
    bind "BACKSPACE" "readyroom"
    bind "ALT" "+back"
    bind "CTRL" "+attack"
    bind "SHIFT" "+popupmenu"
    bind "CAPSLOCK" "toggle_use"
    bind "MOUSE1" "+attack"
    bind "MOUSE2" "+forward"
    bind "MOUSE3" "+use"
    bind "MOUSE4" "+voicerecord"

    and my mouswheel switches weapon, and 'a' and 'd' also switch weapons 8)

    Arrows for moving
    Del for reload
    KP 0 (or whatever it is called) for next weapon
    KP 1 for previous weapon
    Shift for jumping
    Ctrl for crouching
    Mouse1 for firing
    Mouse 2 for menu
    E for use (luckily this isn't needed very often)

    This way I can move and use every command at the same time without having to use wasd. It just feels unnatural to have my left hand so far to the left. I think I'll have to come up with a button for walk now that cloak works while walking.
