Class Specific *.cfgs & Armor Ups

Team Fortress has/had it, and I think it would be neat to have it in NS. Basically you would have different *.cfgs, depending on the team you're on, or the alien you are: marine.cfg, fade.cfg, skulk.cfg .. you get the point. That *.cfg would get automatically executed when gestating or changing the team. Shouldn't be too hard to implent, and won't really give you any major advantages; it just makes life easier <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Second suggestions applies mainly to combat, since I'm, not really sure how it's in classic: When upgrading your armor, you should get -at least- the difference between the two levels, even if your armor is at zero. It really sucks to upgrade one or two levels, just to stick with the same amount of armor. Example:

You've got 0 armor, upgrade to au 1, and get 20 armor, from that to au 2 would give you 40. Or even make it so it gives you the full amount <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    There was a topic about it in the veteran forum, don't really know if it went anywhere but if you really wanted to do that with a simple script you could. I'll write one on the fly for you and just use this till maybe somethings added.

    <!--c1--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>CODE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='CODE'><!--ec1-->//alias
    alias skulk "impulse 113"
    alias gorge "impulse 114"
    alias lerk "impulse 115"
    alias fade "impulse 116"
    alias onos "impulse 117"

    //classes binds
    bind "z" "skulk; exec skulk.cfg;"
    bind "x" "gorge; exec gorge.cfg;"
    bind "c" "lerk; exec lerk.cfg;"
    bind "v" "fade; exec fade.cfg;"
    bind "b" "onos; exec onos.cfg;"<!--c2--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--ec2-->


    Make sure to add exec skulk.cfg to your join key
    ex. bind "f6" "jointeamtwo; exec skulk.cfg;"

    What's the point to using class configs?

    Specilized sensitivities between them all?


    Right now I use two different sensitivities between marine's and alien's.

    That's it, and I don't think I'd need more or less sensitivity between any of the alien classes.


    What other point to them is there?

    In TFC each class had several differences between them that you could utlize in your configs, like scripts and sensitivities.

    The use is weapon configurations. When you have multiple buttons on your mouse, you may want to have different weapons bound to different keys for each class. How much trouble could it be to add in a bit of code that would automatically exec the appropriate cfg (if present) on gestation? Additionally, on respawn it should exec the skulk.cfg.

    Torak got it right <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Few Examples:

    - Bind slot3 to mouse2 (my current jump button) for the fade.cfg
    - Bind the normal jump to mouse2 for the lerk.cfg
    - Bind 3jumps (the h4x) to mouse2 for the skulk.cfg
    - Get rid of all the buttons I don't need as gorge, and place the impulse binds near my movement keys for the gorge.cfg

    etc <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    True, its out of context, but there wasn't exactly a lot of context there to begin with. Including your whole post would seem just about as incriminating.

    While I agree.. there is already a good way to do multiple class weapon configurations without using configs.

    For instance, if you want your mouse4 to be parasite for skulk (slot2, normally), blink for fade (slot3), bite for lerk (slot1), heal for gorge (slot2), stomp for onos (slot3)..

    bind mouse4 "weapon_parasite; weapon_blink; weapon_bite2gun; weapon_healingspray; weapon_stomp"

    ...and you'll have each specific weapon for each class bound to 1 key.. you're aren't limited to the slotx definitions of the weapons.
