Fancy Kharaa Binds?

DaStompa · January 2003

I was curious if there were any fancy kharaa scripts yet, or if there would be a demand for them If I made one.

examples:
skulk: single button leap then change back to bite
fade: single button jump, duck, blink, back to slash

things of that nature, anyone? <img src='http://dastompa.homestead.com/files/smiley.gif' border='0' alt='user posted image'>

I have a couple of tips for you that improved my NS game TEN FOLD.

1. first put this into your config (it is already there so just set it to one)
hud_fastswitch "1"

2. Bind buttons that are really close to your finger tips to "slot 1" all the way through to "slot 4"

3. It is also good to have a mouse that has at least five buttons on it mine being a microsoft intelli mouse
that has mouse buttons on the side as well makes clumsy changes a thing of the past

before i did these I was a good player but in panicy situations I would have to scroll through and hope i selected the right weapon, but now I can switch to acid rocket or swipe in a blink of an eye. This ups your killing power like I said TEN FOLD have fun <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

*EDIT lol Dastompa hows the girlfriend?? eheheh i used to post on the Random nonsense boards heh didnt realize it was u until i read the name. You probably know that stuff i told you so ummm thats all I know but it works better than any script I know of... <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'>

yeah ive allready done those things, not having to hit 3-4 extra buttons in the heat of battle is a good thing imho ;-)

(as for the GF, this is actually for her, just upgraded her computer (well actually upgraded mine and she got the crap extra parts ;-) ) and she likes NS somewhat <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

Anyways I havent been able to find some scripts either.... But I like my slot 1-slot4 stuff
as I can blink really fast and swipe with it fast too!. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='wow.gif'> :

I heard somewhere that leap/bite macro's were exploits of the game and are really frowned apon by the devs and leagues.

Bizarrely, I've tried Hud fastswitch now, and I still use 1-4 to change.

They're pretty close, when you think about it.... <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='wink.gif'>

Sephiroth2k · January 2003

not for me <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'> my move keys are the arrows (right click moving forward also) my jump is shift. crouch is ctrl, and enter is use.

I hope scripting would be removed from ns once and for all. You _can_ learn to do everything manually. Gives advantage to people the same way as the current frames/second bug that allows you to jetpack/shoot/build longer/faster/better.

Sripts are cool if used properly, like I have a script for, comm, marine, alien, and gorge. Basically I just binded communication and evolving. It's usefull because sometimes the popupmenu dosen't always work (dosent show the text) and I can't remember where the voice comms are...

Oh come on, as long as you have configurable options, you will always have someone exploiting them, just like if you have the internet, you'll have someone using it to not-so-good ends, or as long as you have cars, someone is going to be using them to get away after a bank robbery (you get where I'm going now?). You can't control everything, and these scripts really don't add THAT much to a person's ability. Besides, unlike CS NS is not as much about super-fast reactions and great button-pressing ability (which is highly valued in the modern world in general) as it is about strategy - be it the sneaky tactics of the skulks or the teamwork tactics of the marines. If you like using the jump-crouch-blink-slash script, well, congratulations. If you can do the courch-blink-slash without a script, all the better for you. If you barely know how to play the game, the script is not going to help you anyway. If you know how to play the game, training yourself to do crouch-blink-slash is not that hard, so it's not like you're "taking something away" from the people that do it manually.

Ugh. Another one.

Not all scripting is evil. My BFCAS isn't an exploit, and there's NOTHING wrong with a script that merely makes life easier.

There you go, my leap+bite-attack...
Basically, it switches to leap and then back to whatever "weapon" you used before the attack.

So, just hit mouse3 and then mouse1.

bind "MOUSE3" "slot3;wait;+attack;wait;-attack;lastinv" <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'>

That script won't work reliably, as you need to wait a good amount of time for the Leap to load before you +attack. It also won't allow you to do multiple leaps in a row. Try this:

//Leap (push button to leap and it automatically switches back to bite attack...if you hold the button down it will do multiple leaps)

alias shortwait "wait;wait;wait;wait"
alias medwait "shortwait;shortwait"
alias +qleap "slot3; medwait; +attack"
alias -qleap "-attack; slot1"
bind ALT +qleap

Scripting weapons in NS is all about "waits". Different weapons require different wait periods to load.

why don't you just learn to do it normally? I can guaruntee that if you learn to do it properly without a script you will do better than scripted moves.
