set rc48 "color1 6; color2 5; set railcolor vstr rc49"
set rc49 "color1 7; color2 6; set railcolor vstr rc8"

this should work, thoghut it's using the old colour system (only 7 colours). it would change the rail setting every time you press fire no matter what weapon selected.

Thnx!
Will try that in a bit but I'm sure this will work!

UPDATEs

Ok it works great, but I get kicked from server flooding (or something like that)

gonna use this on rail select instead of fire

I remember that there was a "The Ultimate Console Variables and Commands Guide" where was list of all console comands. I can't find it now. Is it still somewhere available?

It's still available in Google cache, but a new edition is coming up soon I think.

I fixed that already with a better version

Fixed Advanced Client Options link to ESR version by Mav_ as it was more up to date than the lost old thread.

The "Check out ESRealitys mouse comparison page" link points to this URL http://www.esreality.com/?a=longpost...79&page=21 but the page looks empty. Should it point to this one, instead? http://www.esreality.com/?a=post&id=1265679

BTW, in the section about mice you don't say what would be a minimum DPI. Any suggestion?

I find the MOUSE SENSITIVITY CALCULATION section a bit unclear.. At some point you mention that "If it's less than 3 inches (7.5cm) then I would argue that your sensitivity set-up is far to high for accurate play", so I understand this is a minimum; so far so good. Then you mention a "formula to compute sensitivity in inch/cm for a 360°" - what the heck is that, and what do I do with that value? Is it an alternate way to obtain the distance by following the steps 1-2-3 (moving your mouse until you make a 360°)?

I find this title "You need to change your sensitivity setting when you change your FOV setting" a better one for the "fov sens change calc" section.

Thanks!

Impressive guide! ThanxXx Yakumo for your generous post!

I tried to use your LG script to change the sensitivity while firing but to no success. It just doesn't work for me as it doesn't change neither the sensitivity, the crosshair or anything really.

This is what I have:

seta _Gaunt "weapon 1;_zFireOff"				
seta _MG "weapon 2;_zFireOff"
seta _SG "weapon 3;_zFireOff" 
seta _GL "weapon 4;_zFireOff"
seta _RL "weapon 5;_zFireOff"
seta _LG "weapon 6;_zFireOn"		// runs special settings forfor lg only, 
seta _RG "weapon 7;_zFireOff"
seta _PG "weapon 8;_zFireOff"
seta _BFG "weapon 9;_zFireOff"
seta _NG "weapon 11;_zFireOff"
seta _PX "weapon 12;_zFireOff"
seta _CG "weapon 13;_zFireOff"

....
binds and vars etc..
...

// -------------------------------   +zFire script --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// This script lets you alter what +zfire does for the lg, +zfire is used to replace any bind that was just to "+attack"  before
//				you need either _zFireOn or _zFireOff in all weapon binds for it to work properly 
//    so I only want it to change my crosshair as i fire with the LG, so all weapons other than the LG use _zFireOff


alias -zfire "-attack;vstr _chDefaultStyle"  //changes back to all default weaponsettings 
alias +zfire "+attack"							//setup +zfire or you wouldn't be able to fire or change who you spectate until you change a weapon.

alias zFirePt2 "+attack;vstr _LgSettings" //2nd stage alias as otherwise you can't script more than one thing to change in an alias, loads all lg settings.
alias _zFireOn "alias +zfire zFirePt2" 

alias _zFireOff "alias +zfire +attack;vstr _chDefaultStyle" //do NOT call -zfire as it uses -attack it would stop next weapon firing, if fire as held during a change
																				// just revert reset +zfire to +attack only and as this is called on weapon change, loadDefWeapSettings too.

// ------ LG Settings -----------------------

seta _LgSettings "sensitivity 4; cg_crosshairSize 40;" // fine cross 38

// ------ Default Settings -----------------------

seta _chDefaultStyle "sensitivity 6; cg_crosshairSize 32;" //set DEFAULT sensitivity

Any help would be appreciated. Anyway thanks for the great guide.

i'd have to see how you'd tried to impliment it into your cfg, you've just copied a few parts from mine there.

you must bind keys/mousebuttons/wheel whatever to 'vstr _lg' etc instead of binding to 'weapon 6'

[PrA]

yup, I did that:

bind f "vstr _LG"

I really don't understand why it doesn't work. Is it still working for you since the latest patches and all?

[Yakumo]

yup, my cfg straight from this zip works just fine for me. I can't see what's wrong with what you pasted, so unless I've missed something it must break it elsewhere in the cfg you made.

I'm assuming
"
....
binds and vars etc.."
was added to your code block, and it isn't in the cfg file without a comment prefix.
