Lifeform Scripts

Cowmonaut · April 2007

<div class="IPBDescription">for evolving</div>I used to have some scripts before I had a good mouse/keyboard to save some keys. The menu at the time (think this was 2.0, but I used them in 3.0 as well) was a little bit easier to misclick on and I found i used the same combos anyways so since I like my +jump bound to MOUSE2 I put some aliases together and bound them to the keypad.

Used to look something like this:

<div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'>alias "xenorush" "celerity; carapace; sof"</div>

celerity/carapace/sof were also aliases with the proper impulse just so I could remember what they were when I was making binds like this later.

I can't get these working in 3.2! I assume it must be because the impulses are differnt. I tried the ones in the stickied thread here, but no avail. It was nice because before I'd just hit KP_PGN and BAM! I can sit back and watch it morph me into a gorge, evolve adrenaline, evolve redemption, and evolve focus.

I'd like to be able to do that again. It let me pay more attention to the map and what have you, which is handy on pubs cause no one pays attention and is handy on scrims just so you know what's going on.

Any ideas?

So does no one know why these aren't working?

The most current list for Impulses I could get are:

<div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'>
// Upgrades
alias "Celerity" "impulse 107"

alias "Adrenaline" "impulse 108"

alias "Silence" "impulse 109"

alias "Carapace" "impulse 101"

alias "Regeneration" "impulse 102"

alias "Redemption "impulse 103"

alias "Cloaking" "impulse 110"

alias "Focus" "impulse 111"

alias "SoF" "impulse 112"
</div>

That's what that part of my cfg looks like. It's how I did it before, but it's not working in 3.2 so any ideas?

Well I didn't get exactly what you want, but here's what's in my cfg :

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'>// UPGRADING

alias skulkupgrade1 "impulse 107; wait; impulse 110; wait; impulse 101" // CELE/CLOAK/CARA
alias upg1 "bind mouse4 skulkupgrade1; wait; alias switchup upg2; speak one"

alias skulkupgrade2 "impulse 108; wait; impulse 112; wait; impulse 102" //ADRE/SOF/REGEN
alias upg2 "bind mouse4 skulkupgrade2; wait; alias switchup upg3; speak two"

alias skulkupgrade3 "impulse 107; wait; impulse 111; wait; impulse 101" //CELE/FOCUS/CARA
alias upg3 "bind mouse4 skulkupgrade3; wait; alias switchup upg4; speak three"

alias skulkupgrade4 "impulse 109; wait; impulse 111; wait; impulse 101" //SILENCE/FOCUS/CARA
alias upg4 "bind mouse4 skulkupgrade4; wait; alias switchup upg1; speak four"

alias switchup "upg1"
bind mwheelup "switchup"</div>

Basically, when i play skulk, i often use the same 3-upgrades-combos ( or just 2, whatever )
So, whenever i go and use MWHEELUP for the first time i'll hear " ONE " and then if i use the MOUSE4 button i'll upgrade to cele/cloak/cara ( just have to press mouse4 for each upgrade, so first press = cele, then second press when done = cloak, etc... ). If i ever go mwheelup again, then if i press mouse4 it'll go adre/sof/regen etc...
You can improve this as your wish, up to i-dunno-how-may upgrades combo.
I still use the popupmenu sometimes for outstanding upgrades like redemption <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin-fix.gif" />D
Also, note that for example i always use cara/cele/focus as fade so i don't need this cycle thing, just mouse4 bound to cara/cele/focus is OK. But you need a config for each lifeform then ( or do a big cycle script ).

Hope I helped you out.

To be honest, that seems just as 'cumbersome' as using the menu. Which isn't bad unless you are tyring to communicate with your team. Not being able to shoot while calling for help/saying aliens spotted is kinda dumb which is why I love the communications scripts out there.

While I wait to get into my fav NS server I'll play around with it seeing if I can get it to work.

Those are the correct impulses. As far as I know, they should still work.

i generally put a "v" for voice in front of the voiceimpulse, "m" for marine commands etc. because im not sure whether it might unalias and important alias for the game (but i guess it wouldnt, who cares anyway)

i think nobody would ever use this script but i have lots of free-time at the moment <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" />

i generally made this when i started playing ns and i didnt like the <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/asrifle.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="::asrifle::" border="0" alt="asrifle.gif" /> menu
so i am used to it for years and i never knew it better. actually im quite surprised how well i knew ns in those days <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin-fix.gif" />

Hum i just read again your post, and I guess I found out another meaning to your request : you'd like to, just by pressing one button, be able to gorge+regen+adren+sof ( for example ) so that while doing that you could just look at the minimap and make say teams and all...

I don't have this stuff, but just by thinking about it I don't think it's possible to do it by pressing only one button you know, and i'm wondering why it worked in old versions. All I see would be something that wouldn't allow you to use the minimap or make say_teams, so hum... just evolve ? That's Natural Selection <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin-fix.gif" />D

To OP: Basically your script is useless because of mp_bs 1 but, foremost, because you can't execute commands in sequence like that with your xenorush alias. This shouldn't have even worked before - maybe you are delusional.

There are two solutions for combos like your desired xenorush:

1. Bind three keys to carapace, celerity, sof and hit them in sequence as you finish evolving.
2. Use a macro program to make a macro to execute the commands in sequence with the appropriate delay in-between. Then you could bind that macro to one key.

The latter is probably the one that you want.
