Useful Keybinds

is there any way to bind a key that when you press it you get 1) avril then press again 2) LG and 3) Flak?

check and see what it says in the .ini file for when it swaps between the bio and mine layer and see if that gives a idea how

i just found a way

Having problems with artifact binding...

Aliases[36]=(Command="SelectRod | OnRelease ActivateItem",Alias="ActivateRod")
Aliases[37]=(Command="SelectTriple | OnRelease ActivateItem",Alias="ActivateTriple")
Aliases[38]=(Command="SelectHealingBlast | OnRelease ActivateItem",Alias="ActivateHealingBlast")

F=ActivateTriple
R=ActivateRod
Y=ActivateHealingBlast

The assigned keys will select the artifact but the artifact will not activate. Anyone see any issues?

You only need "alias" if you want the Artifact to do something.

This alias will select rod then turn it on.

Aliases[37]=(Command="SelectRod | OnRelease ActivateItem",Alias="Rod")

Delete=Rod

Yours looks the same.

Now I use AcitvateItem on mouse 4 and shortcuts to select artifacts.
This is the easiest way to set artifacts to keys.

This will not activate them, just sets them ready to use.

I have 'activateitem' set to mouse4

See link to see highlighted example of my "user.ini" file
http://home.earthlink.net/~appleslugfest/index/ms/qke.htm

ok me thinks this is the prob put the key foe use like this

Mouse5=selecthealingblast | onrelease activateitem

but use the button/key of choice of course
try that I beleave thats your issue

Looks ok to me. Only thing I can question is the vertical line character. Just in case it is the wrong character try cutting and pasting it from another line like the duck or jump.

Got it working, thanks! Dom's reply worked. I got rid or the alias and only assigned keys. I did try changing the piping char, made no difference though.

I finally built my new computer and messed up the UT install. I originally backed up the UT2004 folder onto another computer, wiped my drive and moved the back-up UT2004 folder to the new computer. When I installed UT again it installed into the backup folder and I lost my ini file.

I think I finally have all my settings back to the way they were. Thanks for all the input!

glad to know I could help...hehehe i cheated i looked at my .ini file

hey guys its been awhile since i've posted enough of that.

I like the idea of being able to use Text executions to actually "increase" the amount of useable keybind space.

I have one question.
Would we be able to put binds onto a macro keyboard? And most inportantly have them funtion correctly.
I have a Logitect G15. Not cheap, but its a great Gaming Keyboard.

P.S. I have been on the server for the past few days. I had to start new chars due to me changing my CD key.
So I am no longer Swimy. =(
My medic is Jinkoo
and my Wep Master is Jinkoe

Hope to talk to some of you guys soon.

One trick I have done in the past (and am doing right now as I type) is to produce lines like this in my User.ini

Code:

 UnknownB6=SAY UnknownB6
 UnknownB7=SAY UnknownB7

That way, when I push I key, I can tell what key UT thinks it is.

BTW... I use the G15 myself, and you could always record a macro and assign it to a given key, which entered a command via the command line...

ok I got a question I'm try'n to set the shield blast to a key and I copied the line from my healing blast (which works) but the shield is not!

now my healing is set to a mouse button and I did not have to do the aliases thing but for the shield I'm setting it up on a key do I need the aliases set up?

Directly assigning to a key will just allow you to select the artifact.
If you want to select-and-activate in one go, you need to use an alias

then why does the healing blast work?

or use the text pad, something like this

b=exec blast.txt

the u make a .txt (note pad)
containing something like this
SelectShieldBlast | SelectHealingBlast| ActivateItem

save it.

then when u press "b"

it will try to select shield blast, if you are an engi it will do, but since u arent medic it cant select heal blast, therefore leaving you with shieldblast and activating it

if you are medic i cant select shield blast since you dont have it, but it will select healblast, and activate it

ok and where do you place this blast.txt?

would simplify some key binds that way
