Binds and scripts

[Hanch Saode]

So, I am a newcomer to the online world of JK2 :D

 

I want to know how many people use scripts and such, and how common it is?

 

If you DO use 'em, what do they do??

 

And where do you get them / How do you make them ?

[Mercen4ry]

First off, I must warn you - you will likely get flamed for asking this question on these forums. However, I will try to answer this question as best I can, considering.

 

How many use binded keys? Just about all of them with one combo - bind x +taunt. That command will force your player model to use its taunt command - a short vocal message along with a hand motion. However, when we get into scripts, we open up a new can of worms.

 

First of all, a very small percentage of JO players use scripts - the general form of said scripts is a) a binded sequence of movement and/or attack commands (like the binded backstab) or b) a binded list of this and/or "bitch-out" messages to go with them. And as such, these are the kinds of scripts considered to most of the community as cheap, unfair, etc. (add random expletive here), and I would advise you keep away from these if you can.

 

However, there is another form of script - one that is quite harmless and fun to use besides without crossing the threshhold of cheap - binded model / color commands. These scripts usually tell JO to switch your skin at the push of a button, which can be very useful if you like a few different skins instead of just one. A few players have complained about these scripts, saying that they "lag" their computers; bull. Typically, skin handling occurs when you either press the Tab (score) key or die, two events that you mainly control. Furthermore, the "laggy skin" problem (where a player can switch and it is automatically handled, or joins the game and causes lag) is limited to very few servers. Would you like an example of this kind of script? I have two lying around for you to use:

 

To have the below work in game, either a) place it in your jk2mpconfig.cfg document (can cause errors), or b) open up Notepad, Copy and Paste all of this gibberish in there, and save it as "ScriptName.cfg." Then, to activate it in game, simply pop open the console (shift - ~ by default) and type "/exec ScriptName.cfg."

I hope that helps.

What he ^^ said!

 

As a sidenote, I don't think he'll be flamed....badly. He clearly stated that he doesn't know anything about the subject and is a total newbie. So everything is cool, right?

 

But dude....scripts are bad, mmkay?

 

Use your head. A script that changes your skin is not the same as a script that does "pull-absorb-turn 180 degrees-backstab-go get a beer from the fridge- feed my dog- spam lightning-triple kick-DFA" with the push of a single button.

 

We don't like people who play unfair. If you want someone to bring you a beer and feed your dog, get yourself a friggin' woman, don't mess around with scripts, 'cause they're lame!

[Mercen4ry]

 

I'm starting to agree with what that dude said about how you should write a modern comedy strip. Perhaps a little addition to the "If the movies were more like Jedi Outcast" thread? You just seem to be the type that's into that kind of thing - most of my jokes usually end up on the cutting-room floor.

 

Come on, you know you want to.

[StarViperPilot]

can you bind keys to change saber color useing the consol? i know you can to change models, names, skins, send prewrit text...

As a poor-man's way of doing it though, you can bind individual colors a la bind <key> "color1 #" (e.g. bind x "color1 4"). Refer to the above for numbers to corresponding (sp?) numbers and colors.

Thanx man!

[Hanch Saode]

Thx for the reply

 

Well....I'm usually a fair player, so I don't see myself using move-scripts

 

Though the saber switch script sounds quite useful

 

But again...thx for the reply
