<div class="IPBDescription">left or right side</div> I've have been using the arrowkeys for a long time now, but i've been experimenting with WASD set and I find it more comfortable though at the present time im not very good at it. Just like to know everyone elses thoughts on this matter/ which control set they use etc <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

(btw wouldn't this make more sense as a poll?)
`12345
[Tab]qwerty
asdfgh
[shift}zxcv
[ctrl][space]
and that's just the left hand!
the ns keys i use now are partially transferred from my old DoD config which in turn was totally copied from my friend's config.
then i realised the error of my way
Now i play tfbh : T = foward, F = strafe left, B = back, H = strafe right.
More than enough buttons (even for NS!) for every thing!
1 sec, ill dig my binds up
arrow keys
numpad 1 2 3 4 9
ctrl, shift, and enter and backspace
del, end and home
q w e and a
mouse
left atk, right popup, wheel reload and swich weapons (although i never use that.)
But I still use the old quake1 default of mouse2 as +forward.
So I rarely actually use W for walking.
I kinda get a headache thinking about using w for forward while trying to jump, crouch and strafe.
I move that to the right hand, and i feel better.
(On a side note, you can get one for half of Belkin's listed price online.)
W(forward)
A(left strafe)
S(back)
D(right strafe)
but i wanted an extra row between "strafe left" and the tab/caps/shift buttons, like Axel Stone, so i now use.
mouse2 (forward)
e (varies)
s (left strafe)
d (back)
f (right strafe)
I was just considering trying this. it does seem like there would be more buttons in reach to program this way... Interesting....
Q = quick switch to main
A = quick switch to secondary
Z = walk
shift = duck
spacebar = jump
T = reload
H = use item
B = medpack
V = ammo
N = voice: where are those orders?
M = voice: acknowledgement
Commkeys (if i play ever comm): default
Y X C V: Voicecommands (V beeing "need health / heal me" and C "need ammo")
KP_0 - 8: Alien Upgradetrait selection (1-3 dc's, 4-6 mc's, 7+8 sc's)

Page UP: Gestate Onos
ctrl: crouch
space: jump

<u>Universal</u>
WASD - Movement

L Shift - Walk
[Space] - Jump
E - Use

Skulk - 147 (Kamakazi) or 268 (Ninja)
Meta Keys and the problems with pressing tomany keys at once.
it varies from keyboard to keyboard, but most can't go above 2 or 3 keys at one time. The exeptions to this rule are your meta keys (ctrl, alt, shift), this ofcourse does not include the mouse.
so you bind out the keys you are going to use in conjunction with many other keys to the metas/mouse.
ES:
Crouch (crouch+diag/use/jump/fire etc)
Jump (jump+diag/crouch/fire)
attack (attack+jump/crouch/diag/use)
secondary fire, or what ever takes its place in your mod/game (in my case I use +popupmenu on alt)
move fowards I definatly could see being one.
So that being said, my general config:
WASD (move)
M1: Fire
M2: Jump
MWheel: Weapon Switch.
Space: Use
Ctrl: Duck
Shift: Speed toggel
Alt: Secondary fire (or zoom/popupmenu/what have you)
Q: Last used wep
E: Something (VC in NS)
ZXC: Some more things (med/ammo req/map in NS)
R: Reload
F: Light modification.
TAB for scores.
SHIFT for walking.
Q for lastinv.
E for use.
R for reload.
F for flashlight.
CTRL for ducking.
SPACE for jumping.
M1 for shooting.
M2 for menu.
SCROLL UP for chuckle (as alien).
SCROLL DOWN for taunt as marine.
Mwheelup: slot 3
Mwheeldown: Slot 1
Mousebutton 1: Fire
Mousebutton 2: move forwards
Mousebutton 3 (wheelbutton): reload
Mousebutton 4 (left side): Use
Mousebutton 5: Not figured out for this one in ns yet o.o
Keyboard:
z/x: strafe
ctrl: backwards
shift: walk
q: menu
Space: jump
I think something's odd about my controls, but I dunno <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo--> hehe

I have a weird config...like i use both left and right mouse to fire and scroll button to bhop and marine bhop. if im bhopping since i use my pointer finger to scroll the wheel i use my middle finger to shoot (right mouse key) aand when im just strafe jumping i use
the left mouse key. Same with aliens .. bhop - use middle finger to attack , right mouse <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->)

good god, thats no mouse, thats an ONOS!
Shift - Jump
Caps Lock - Walk (which has the annoying tendency of making me have caps lock on when I quit, but it works)
Space - Duck
Tab - Show Scores
R - Reload
E - Use
F - Flashlight? I never use it but I think that is what it is.
L-Click - Attack
R-Click - Menu
But now that I'm looking at this, I'm liking the idea of the num pad for upgrades.
You'll find you usually remove those after your first time to accidently gestate from Onos to gorge.
lastinv ftw

I dont need that, I have the mousewheel binds to help with that ;P.
I just bound Mouse5 to open the map thing. Seems to be working o.o
