That should get you started. It includes everything from two different pistol scripts and a wiggle walk, to quickattack and quickswitch settings. It uses almost every key on the keyboard.
bind x "light"
alias juumpswitch 3juump_on
alias "+hoop" "+jump; wait; -jump; wait; +jump; wait; -jump; wait; +jump; wait; -jump; wait; +jump; wait; -jump"
Alias 3juump_on "bind space +hoop; alias juumpswitch 3juump_off; speak six"
alias 3juump_off "bind space +jump; alias juumpswitch 3juump_on; speak one"
bind x "juumpswitch"
alias silence "voice_scale 0; stopsound; developer 1; echo No more voices; developer 0; bind n nosilence"
alias nosilence "voice_scale 1; stopsound; developer 1; echo Voices return; developer 0; bind n silence"
bind x "silence"
x stands for anything you want
These are the only scripts I define as usfull to make you more skillfull over time.
Leap-bite, blink-swipe will make you suck on no scripting servers.
Wiggle walk can give you and advantage so unfair that its not fun anymore...a heavy armor isnt supposed to walk faster than and onos, or a marine about same speed than a skulk. I could consider that a hax, I use it when others do, thats it.

Did I say that? lol
Maybe just won't degrade your skill.
bhop script:
alias +3jumps "+moveup; +jump; wait; -jump; wait; +jump; wait; -jump; wait; +jump"
alias -3jumps "-moveup; -jump"
bind space "+3jumps"
and pistol script:
alias +pscript "+attack;"
alias -pscript "-attack; wait; +attack; wait; -attack;"
bind mouse1 "+pscript"
Anything else you would have to change your playing style and get used to, which is something that would hinder your skill, momentary or not.
Scripts are useless for aliens exept for the bhoppers who use +3hop.

Quoted for fallacy
<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd--> I think everyone would agree that bunnyhoping gives you much more of an advantage than wiggling ever will. I have a wiggle script that allows me to run faster than a skulk with my knife out, so in theory, it sounds good right? In reality it is of little use in pubs, and even less use in scrims/matches. Sure its nice to outrun a walking skulk, but how many walking skulks do you encounter in a clan scrim/match or even a pub now a these days? Sure its nice to get to Cargo, Chem Trans, etc before the skulks do, but what's the point if you're the only one there?
alias -metabind "-attack; wait; slot2"
bind q +metabind
i use this for fading, it metabol's while you hold the button and when you let go it goes back to blink. Very useful.
the rest can be done through standard key bind menu

That's what one would call an opinion. The "rest" might be fine for most players, there are still other players out there that use the advantage provided by the engine

That's your opinion too based on your own morals; good for you. Now in my opinion, I like using scripts, like my weapon slot management script, because I see I can benefit from such a script. I see the innovation behind it, I have the knowledge to make it happen, and I write the script. To me, it's another tool the engine provides to tailor the game to my needs.
Now it's not like there are people going in to General Discussion trying to persuede the majority to use scripts and aliases. This section is for sharing information on scripts and aliases and not imposing your views on the frequented members to this forum section.
the script to turn voice and text communication off is handy in combat
oh, and romano's lastinv script, since I got used to it, but it takes a bit to get the nuances of it
a leap script that i gotta get used too
a fade script that switches between blink and swipe only (q does this, kinda like lastinv)
a meta script bound to mouse2
thats basically it i think
the meta script really really helps me a lot metaing in the air and not disturbing my blink/swipe.
I agree with radical here, good for you, but that's not the way most people think. It's like someone using a calculator or computer, then someone coming along and saying:
"I can calculate the 20th decimal of pi without the aid of a calculator or computer, don't you feel inferior to me?"
Well good for you, but I'll stick with my calculator/computer.

The problem is people who don't know how to calculate without a calculator. If you use a calculator, while being ignorant of how to calculate without it, then you're only hurting yourself.
It's the same with scripting. If you are using scripts as a cruch, then you won't get any better at the game, you will just lean on your scripts to make you decent. If you are using scripts to supplement your game, then there's no problem.
This would be true if scripts simulated quality skills, they dont.
Scripts perform rather pathic actions. Main examples:
Someone uses a script to time jumps, someone else uses mwheel. The player with the script does not envy the player who utilizes mwheel. The ability to roll the mwheel is hardly skillfull. Except maybe the fact that the mwheel player can go onto nub pubs and kill noobs.
Someone uses a pistol script instead of smashing the button. Again, smashing the button is hardly a skill to envy.
I use small icons on my windows start menu. Do you envy me because they are harder to click on than large ones? I once heard of a guy who had even SMALLER start menu icons. I envy his ability. I dont think I could click on such minut icons.

I would at least hope that everyone out there using scripts knows how to play NS without them....

Damn. There is entirely too much brilliance in that post for me to stand it.

I agree with the spirit of the point being made, but the analogy doesn't fit. It would be more fitting to use the calculator analogy with aimbots. Those things play for you; not scripts.
I disagree with this. I couldn't shoot my pistol for crap before I started using my pistol script. In an effort to exploit the Rof cap to the fullest, I still smash the hell out of my mouse. This has trained me to fire much faster on bs_1 servers. I'm not sure if this has happened to anyone else, but it sure surprised me.
The most important console command you can enter is "hud_fastswitch 1"
Just a warning- leap/bite or blink/swipe scripts are entirely useless once you realize what the heck you're doing. Stay far away from those, they'll get you into a straight line mentality and you're just going to own yourself due to lack of control.
And I can't stress this enough, but no amount of scripts in the world will compare to just having a good computer. Scripts help lower end computers FAR more than upper end, as much of this game is FPS dictated. It's not only possible, but I'd say "easy" to bhop useing spacebar without scripts- 100 fps given. So if you play on an already powerful computer, don't expect much to change at all in one's abilities due to most scripts (wigglewalk being the exception- far better on a good computer, and really not humanly possible to go as fast as a good computer will make you.) If you play on a poor computer, you'll be in for a pleasent surprise, as control becomes much easier.
I can never understand how people complain about other people owning them all the time by bunny hopping or using a 2shot, when they can just as easily do it and get better at the game. "I'm a casual gamer so instead of taking the time to get better I'm just going to **** about how you are cheating at the game."
