hi +)

ive read everything but still cant understand the concept. i am having trouble with having a different crosshair for RAILGUN only. as i dont have enough space to put it in the bind.

example:

RAIL: bind q "weapon 7;sensitivity 9.35;cl_mouseaccel .062;cl_timenudge 0"
LG: bind 1 "weapon 6;sensitivity 8.31;cl_mouseaccel -.0049;cl_timenudge 0"
ROCKET: bind e "weapon 5;sensitivity 10.39;cl_mouseaccel 0;cl_timenudge 0"

for every weapon i want the cross + crosshairstyle @ size 45.
but for rail i want to use a custom HUD crosshair.

and i dont have enough room to add (cg_hudfiles "ui/tannycrosshair2.cfg";loadhud) to the bind.
i understand that i will need to activate it by pressing the bind.

hence i dont know how to do the alias cfg's.


thanks tanny

you can get around line limits by breaking a line up into multiple aliases or vstrs.
BUT in this case you don't want to. loadhud causes a pause for a few frames, you dont' want to have that happening during a game, the only sensible way to load custom hud crosshairs is being clever with cvarTest in the hud files themselves eg : http://www.esreality.com/index.php?a...438#pid2017438

in this example cvarTest checks cg_drawcrosshair, and then displays the defined hud elements if that is equal to 1 (from the showCvar {1})

HI! again

ive decided just to use the HUD crosshair, which i made from http://visualhud.pk69.com/ using thin rectangle lines to make a cross. im happy with the shape atm however i cant seem to workout when i hit some it will go red. like cg_hitpulse. is there come command or script or something like that for my whole crosshair to go red when i make a hit

No, there is no way to signal hit registration to a hud element. All you could do is display a normal crosshair over the top and use that.

I cant seem to get the keybindings to work, when I open the game they are all unbound. Atleast all the weapons etc, and It didnt save my jumping key.
I did configure it to my own within the config file. But it still wont read it, also I changed the resolution to "23" but when I looked, it was changed back to "standard". I made a backup copy of the file, but it still wont seem to work properly. It resets everytime
I noticed the binds for weapons starts with VSTR, which I havent seen on the different .cfg's I've checked
Thanks in advance

[Yakumo]

I can only assume you mean you are trying to use my newer example cfg. You must exec it for it to create the cvars which the keys then call. Some of it may produce errors since some recent changes in the game, I need to update it.

Read the cfg comments and the section of the guide on vstrs / scripting to understand what is happening, or use the older cfg that uses direct binds.

[*Phaxan]

Aha, I did exec it, but didn't check for the cvars. But I most certainly will take a look at your old cfg Thanks a bunch, and please keep us updated with more Frag Tweaking

NB. Disable pre-rendering of frames in graphics drivers to cut 3 frame+ input lag (globally or for the browser you play in)

Where i can find it in windows xp Sp3? (nvidia driver btw)

[Tanny]
