if u wanna be useful for 20% of players bind ^4QUAD, ^1RED TAKEN and if u wanna more: MH TAKEN, ITEM TAKEN. better set showing teammate's healt/armor at crosshair and decide faster what weapon to drop.
based on mine 2000+ #tdmpickup games. it's just my opinion. may be i wrong about 20% of players who doesn't ignore team chat.

yeah i already have those binds. that was the point of this post, I wanted to see if i miss something =)

bind , "say_team <<<NEXT SHAFT AT:..."
bind . "say_team <<<NEXT RAIL AT:... "
bind m "say_team <<<NEXT RA AT:..."
bind n "say_team <<<NEXT MH AT:..."

bind 2 "say_team <<<ATTACK POWERUP ^4#h^7/^1#a ^7: ^3#w"
bind 3 "say_team <<<POINT SAFE^4#h^7/^1#a ^7: ^3#w"
bind 4 "say_team <<<POINT LOST^4#h^7/^1#a ^7: ^3#w"
bind 5 "say_team <<<ROGER / ON MY WAY, HOLD ON! ^4#h^7/^1#a ^7: ^3#w"
bind 6 "say_team <<<ENEMY POWERUP; r_dynamicLight 1"
bind 7 "say_team <<<POWERUP DOWN; r_dynamicLight 0"
bind h "say_team <<<NEED HELP HERE ^4#h^7/^1#a ^7: ^3#w"
bind j "say_team <<<ATTACK ^1RA ^4#h^7/^1#a ^7: ^3#w"
bind MOUSE3 "say_team <<<ITEM TAKEN ^4#h^7/^1#a ^7: ^3#w"

For CTF:

bind INS "say_team <<<ENEMY IN HIGH ^4#h^7/^1#a ^7: ^3#w"
bind DEL "say_team <<<ENEMY IN LOW ^4#h^7/^1#a ^7: ^3#w"
bind HOME "say_team <<<ENEMY OUT HIGH ^4#h^7/^1#a ^7: ^3#w"
bind END "say_team <<<ENEMY OUT LOW ^4#h^7/^1#a ^7: ^3#w"


If you have premium or pro, those #h - #a - #w stuff puts your actual hp, armor and weapon at the end of the bind.

Premium pay to win confimed

xD

True post is true.

Not nice to bind ins. Also it's kind of obvious that he'd say "enemy in HIGH".

huehue

how do you like these binds:

bind w "weapon RL;bind x say_team red in 5 seconds"
bind r "weapon LG; bind x say_team LG in 5 seconds"
bind t "weapon RG; bind x say_team RG in 5 seconds"
bind g "weapon PG; bind x say_team MH in 5 seconds"

bind kb_del "say_team quad in 20 seconds"

bind uparrow "say_team enemy low here"

sorry for not knowing the weapon binds by heart.

you could tune the numbers - 10 sec instead of 5, 30 sec instead of 20; but imho these binds are well coded (color wise for ra/mh) and you just have to press the weapon-button, then the x button

those are all pretty nice binds in terms of info you give and can alarm nearby fight-ready players soon enough

people usually spam completely wrong or unnecessary stuff and way too often too, so no one reads them anyway =)

stuff like weapon needed or similar are so useless because any non-dense player knows people don't spawn with full arsenal in tdm

I just thought about something. We could control a "current time" value with the mouse wheel. When you want to say something, you synchronize your timer with the actual game time then you press your say_team bind.

//Binds
bind mwheelup "vstr timer_up"
bind mwheeldown "vstr timer_down"
bind home "vstr output_RA"

//General commands (we could change every bind directly every time but meh)
seta timer_up "vstr timer_up_0"
seta timer_down "vstr timer_down_0"
seta output_RA "say_team "RA spawns at 25""
...

//timer_up
seta timer_up_0 "print "Current time is now : 1";seta timer_up "vstr timer_up_1";seta timer_down "vstr timer_down_1"; seta output_RA "say_team "RA spawns at 26""
seta timer_up_1 "print "Current time is now : 2";seta timer_up "vstr timer_up_2";seta timer_down "vstr timer_down_2"; seta output_RA "say_team "RA spawns at 27""
...

//timer_down
seta timer_down_0 "print "Current time is now : 59";seta timer_up "vstr timer_up_59";seta timer_down "vstr timer_down_59"; seta output_RA "say_team "RA spawns at 24""
seta timer_down_1 "print "Current time is now : 0";seta timer_up "vstr timer_up_0";seta timer_down "vstr timer_down_0"; seta output_RA "say_team "RA spawns at 25""
...

Some of the "seta" on the post above have to be "set".

I completed the cvar madness with a little program, if anyone wants it :

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/74076095/QuakeLive/timer.cfg

The binds you should know about :

bind mwheelup "vstr timer_up"
bind mwheeldown "vstr timer_down"
bind F4 "vstr output_RA"
bind F5 "vstr output_MH"
bind F6 "vstr output_LG"
bind F7 "vstr output_RG"

Really nice mate! Although I think a numpad solution would be easier to handle during games. Wasn't there a script like that?

And is there a difference between sets seta and set? Always thought they were the same

I doubt a numpad solution would be easier, provided your mouse wheel is available. Because to use the numpad, you have to free a hand for a moment. Doesn't that make you very vulnerable? On the opposite, using the mousewheel can be done even mindlessly. Well I have yet to try it though. I don't think even the worst case scenario, which is a 30 seconds difference between the game time and the "mousewheel" timer, is difficult or long to overcome.

Yes, there is a difference between seta and set. Try changing a set into a seta. It won't work. Google can help ;).

The vars created with seta can't be changed in binds, while those created with set can. You'd normally use set in variables you want to change in game, and seta for everything else.

they should deffo allow php in ql configs

I have an extensive script with modifier 4 modifier keys each for RA/MH/Quad/BS.

4 is RA, 5 is MH, 7 is QD and 8 is BS. You hold down 0/1/2/3 before hitting the item keys for a modified message; pressing either of the item keys on their own will give you the basic 'up in x secs' message. I found this to be the one I'd need access to the most quickly.

The modified states are: ' ** taken', ' ** taken by enemy', ' ** up/take it' and 'leave item ** for me'.

My reasoning was that if the coast is clear, a two button combination is perfectly adequate, while picking an item up mid fight or enemy stealing the item, it's better for the team if you act accordingly to the situation without worrying with clunky binds. Once the situation is dealt with, and invariably some time will have passed, a quick and simple single-button bind to inform that an item is spawning in 15 seconds (30 for powerups) means the interruption to your play is as minimal as possible.

All of the states and such can be changed, of course. I'll go dig it up now.

Here you go sir. I keep this in a separate cfg file tdmbinds.cfg, in case something needs to be adjusted, added or removed.

Lorfa had optimised this in the official QL forums. I posted the original version which is this so it's more readable and if you wish to do your own changes, you won't have to reverse engineer it.

this looks also pretty sane. I'll try and work it in with the script from flash soul

If you want to integrate it with my idea, this might help you :

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/74076095/QuakeLive/main.cpp

Yo Flash Soul, i've got Xpartys binds set now and they're working fine, but i have no idea how to integrate your stuff into it, help please? xD


this is what i have in my cfg atm

http://pastebin.com/wH7f1yH0

Just modify ra_mod1, ra_mod3, mh_mod1 and mh_mod3 on every timer_up_x and timer_down_x. They are basically the same as my output_RA and output_MH.

Instead of
set output_RA say_team RA spawns at 26

You'd have something like
set ra_mod1 say_team ^1RA! ^5Taken! : ^2 spawns at 26

You don't need to modify his bind and +alias system. All you need to do is set the right output in his output cvars which can reveal a spawn time. You can modify as many cvars as you want in each timer_direction_x. Well, unless you hit some sort of cap in the accepted cvar value length?

EDIT : or just ask ihve if he managed to do it.

this looks also pretty sane. I'll try and work it in with the script from flash soul

actually works pretty darn fine! really awesome m8. although m3 is a bit weird for me cuz i jump on m2, but better than taking hand completely off mouse :)

any chance you could help me set it up :) as i said above to flashsoul, ive got xpartys stuff working fine but have no idea how to add on his stuff

this is what i have in my cfg atm

http://pastebin.com/wH7f1yH0

bind w "say_team idiot team"
bind a "say_team go back to duel or ca or whatever you faggots do on your free time "
bind s "say_team why the fuck does nobody show up for power up?! nothing but cretins and imbeciles..."
bind d "say_team is this pub tdm or some ffa? learn to teamwork befor pickup))))))))))))))))))"
bind mouse1 "ragequit"

CZM binds :p?

lolled

This all seems really complicated and annoying. I feel like if you're that into a team game that you need to have a shitload of teamchat binds to communicate important information, you should just get on voice comms. Hell of a lot easier to just say something with your mouth.

yeah it is, but especially in pickups peaople don't like voicecomm.

Yeah I've noticed that about Quake over the years. It always seemed really weird to me coming from the Cod2 PAM and Cod4 Promod scene where it would be considered ridiculous to not to be on voice comms for a pickup. Like ridiculous to the point where playing without a mic or without connecting to mumble/vent/ts was a bannable offense in a lot of pickup communities.

can't concentrate on quake and talk/listen to teammate, just doesn't work

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yy3lYztdCC4

seems like those bindings aren't practical, you die alot =)

no, its works like, you press 1 or whatever button to choice the timer tupe and then using scroll wheel to set time. So its not dangerous

xD

Y'know, actually USEFUL binds.

bind mouse3 "say i hope you die irl"

Nice lowsense faggot

http://www.esreality.com/post/2408028/ql-tdm-cfg/

quote from OP

> no czm binds

I didn't notice, my bad.

You know, there are these things called microphones nowadays.

You know, people rarely use those on pickups nowadays.

how could he know? there are no pickups in NA

I thought muricans know everything.

bind powerswitch "say ^1Murica!"

or you could use mumble or teamspeak cause its fuckin 2014...but that would be something revolutionary/blblasphemy/simple

yeah please read all the other comments regarding that in this thread. thanks.

bind mouse1 say "funnyb is gay"
