A Useful Extension For Romano's Lastinv

Uzguz

Until quite recently, I had been using a lastinv script of my own designing. However, eventually, I had to concede that, because of its layout, it was simply too slow (it has a good coding structure, but runs too many commands). Thus, I decided to make the switch to romano's, which, while perhaps lacking in programming ethics, proved to be noticeably faster. However, I had become quite accustomed to an extra feature of my lastinv script not featured in romano's - a reset function. So, when I installed it, I added this feature to the existing script. While I was at it, I changed all of the commands that are actually bound to keys to use the +/- structure, to prevent the commands from being spammed when the key is held down for too long. Here's the result:

<!--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-->// Romano's Lastinv script without mousewheel support

Of course, you'll need to change the last five keys yourself. As the comment suggests, binding a mouse button to +lastinv_reset is quite handy.

As for how the reset function works, it's really quite simple. When the config is executed, or whenever +lastinv_reset or lastinv_reset are called, the current weapon is changed to slot1, and the buffered weapon is set to whatever the current default buffer is - the default default buffer (<!--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-->) is slot2, so this calls kkrb, which changes to slot1 and rebinds the keys as though slot2 was the previous weapon. The default buffer can be changed with the +kkrsa - +kkrsd commands, which should be mapped to the keyboard somewhere convenient. Changing the default buffer doesn't affect the current setup, only what happens when +lastinv_reset or lastinv_reset is called. Finally, if you use team-join configs, they should call kkrb, and alias +lastinv_reset and lastinv_reset to the same - this will reset the script whenever you join a team.

If you need to ask anything, feel free to do so; otherwise, enjoy! <!--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-->

Maybe I did it wrong, but client side lastinv never changed anything to me. Absolutly not faster in anyway, and, most of the time the lastinv is wrong.

Lets say I press 2-1-2 as a skulk, I parasite the enemy, lastinv, I get : LEAP!

Whatever

I'm preaty sure lastinv is clientside now anyway, that was added in some 3.0 beta.

With lastinv client side now, there's no need for these scripted versions anymore.

Unless you extend it to do funky things like I did

Oh Em Gee hax.

I would add something relevant and interesting to this discussion but I have never used, and do not intend to, use romano's lastinv. I never use lastinv because it's not flexible enough in my opinion.
I just use hud_fastswitch 1 and slot keys.

oh and :

<!--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 +s3 "slot3"
alias -s3 "lastinv"

<!--c2--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--ec2-->

good for leaping and the occasional knife slash

also in servers where i get 300 ping i notice even in beta 5 that the lastinv command lags for me.




romanos is good in combination with things, like for fade having a key to meta and lastinv w/o breaking your current two lastinv keys ( blink/swipe )
