WISDOM'S Q2 CONFIG TUTORIAL! (Page 2 of 2)
By Wisdumb

TIPS, TRICKS, AND EXPLANATION

- Pressing the home key will create a team named "salvation." Press it again, and the team will be locked. Press once more, it will unlock. One more time, and the team will be locked again. This locking cycle will repeat as programmed.

bind home "team salvation; bind home lock"
alias lock "lockteam; bind home unlock"
alias unlock "unlockteam; bind home lock"

- Pressing pause will toggle readying the entire team and un-readying yourself.

bind pause "read"
alias read "readyteam; bind pause notread"
alias notread "notready; bind pause read"

- Typing in either "f" or "m" in the console will change my skin accordingly. I got annoyed at having to type in the entire command line during team matches.

alias f "skin female/cobalt"
alias m "skin male/sniper"

- Typing "ha" in the console will change your name to ``Goo``. If you notice, the ` is from the default console-toggling button. This means that when you join a team, chances are that they won't be able to kick you off because they won't be able to type your name into the console without closing the console. ^_^

alias ha "name ``Goo``"

- Pressing the end key makes a team with the ~ mark, and chances are, no one will be able to join your team through console commands because the ~ mark is also of the default console-toggling button. The players can toggle the menu of the server to join your team, which is unconventional because it takes a little more time. But have no fear because your team will automatically be locked, followed by a convenient unlocking-locking cycle like the one previously mentioned.

- Typing "gotoUV" in the console will automatically connect you to the assigned IP.

alias gotoUV "connect 131.215.44.14:28000"

- Pressing F1 will tell your teammates "Enemy @ RAILGUN." Holding down F8 and pressing F1 will cause you to say "I'm @ RAILGUN."

bind F1 "erail"
alias erail "say_team Enemy @ RAILGUN"
alias rail "say_team I'm @ RAILGUN"
bind F8 "+myloc"
alias +myloc "bind F1 rail"
alias -myloc "bind F1 erail"

- Adding "cells" to another command line will have that command line drop two packs of cells. I made this alias simply for quickness in typing out my command lines, as well as to make sure that a single command line doesn't grow too long.

alias cells "drop cells; drop cells"

- Pressing 2 will have you bust out your shotgun. Holding down alt and pressing 2 will drop your shotgun + shells for grabs, while waving and saying to your teammates "Shotgun dropped!" Holding down alt will also make it so that if you press your second mouse button, you'll drop a hyperblaster + 2 packages of cells and a shotgun + shells. Releasing alt will restore both 2 and mouse2 to their previous settings.

bind 2 "ushot"
alias ushot "use Shotgun"
alias dshot "drop shotgun; drop shells; wave 4; say_team Shotgun dropped!"
bind alt "+drop"
alias +drop "bind 2 dshot; bind mouse2 package"
alias -drop "bind 2 ushot; bind mouse2 invuse"
alias package "dp1; dp2"
alias dp1 "drop hyperblaster; cells; drop super shotgun; drop shells"
alias dp2 "drop grenade launcher; drop grenades"

- Pressing and holding "z" will lower your fov (field of view), creating a zooming effect and lowering your horizontal & vertical mouse sensitivity. Releasing "z" will restore the fov and sensitivities.

bind z "+zoom"
alias +zoom "fov 30; sensitivity 4; m_pitch 0.14"
alias -zoom "fov 90; sensitivity 8; m_pitch 0.21"
