Make sure you're in a team when you do it.  I think F1 is the key that puts you in whatever team 1 is.

Ever since the latest HL patch, F1 and F2 have been coded to use some of the new HL stuff thats planned for the future (like the in-game messaging feature).  There is a way around this, but for now I can't for the life of me remember what...


Oh oh wait, I think you re-name gameUI.dll in the valve/cl-dlls folder.

Insane

Oh yeah, heheh.  That provided a very annoying half-hour <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->

F1 and F2 Binding Problem
===================
To be able to bind your F1 and F2 keys: Go to your Half-Life (or Counter-Strike Retail) directory, open the "valve" folder, open the "cl_dlls" folder, and rename the file "GameUI.dll" to something else (i.e. "GameUI.bak"). You should be able to bind your F1 and F2 keys again.

... thanks.. but i alreayd know how to bind... im wondering why i cant open the ps editor ingame, why it finds the ps and says 1 second later it cant find it

Elowind - read the post. In the latest HL patch, F1 and F2 have been hardcoded to some stupid demo-playing controls. (or something)

The only way to be able to bind them is to do what he just said.

Alternatively, you could bind another key to the team joins. I think they're <b>jointeamone</b> and <b>jointeamtwo</b>

Oh joy.

I'll have to keep this stuff in mind when I get around to PS editing.

thanks.. but if u'd listen to my question (not trying to sound annoyed) but u'll notice i dont care about f1 and f2

i want to know why i cant edit my particle systems in game. there is an INGAME editor which u use by typeing "editps [spritenamehere]" then it says "ps found, press f4 to edit" i press f4 and it says "ps not found"


WHY DOES IT DO THAT,  I DONT CARE ABOUT F1 AND F2

he wants to know why his f4 is working, instead everyone tells him about f1 and f2? people should read posts more carefully =D he doesnt want to join a team, he wants to edit his ps's in-game. Maybe this is more of a NSTR problem forum post than a mapping forum post, but if anyone can help this guy you should.

Merkaba

Well, my point is that Insane points out that you <b>can't edit particle systems unless you're on a team.</b>

So, yeah, binding keys to join teams IS pretty useful in this case.

i've tried being on a team it still doest work..
