Configs

<div class="IPBDescription">Just a thought.</div> I've been playing a bit of The Specialists, and found that saving configs is a great time saver, as it removes the monotony of menu systems and constant clicking. I was wondering what it would be like to have that implemented in Natural Selection. Instead of having multiple evolution processes and multiple mouse clicks, what about having one long evolution processeses, tailored to the custom config? Would that make sense?

    You can bind buttons to evolve/build ANYTHING for aliens, so just bind those and be happy about it.

    I think NS's 2 click system is pretty slick as is, but if I read you correctly, you just want to press one button, and automatically do a bunch of evolutions back to back. (Eg, click it, you start evolving to onos, then after that, you evolve regen, then adren, etc MEANWHILE, while your evolving is all happening, you go off and make a sandwich come back and you're all done evolving...)

    You miiiiiight be able to do it with binds, but I don't how you get it to fire after each evolution.

    Or, you might mean you go into your little egg and do all the evolutions as that one egg (taking the appropriate extra time to do so). This would have to be added by the NS team and should be the S&I forum.

    I think..?

    The NS menu system is not very deep (level wise) and doesn't have as many objects as the specialists menu does, so the radial system works out well.

    I'd recommend binding whatever menu items you use the most to the keyboard. All I bothered to bind are a few comms (medpack, got your 6, follow me, or when I'm a kharaa it's chuckle, need heal, and something else).

    I agree i think the layout has been simplified greatly (my greatest example is starcraft...)

    If you are really in need of some super buttons... there are ways to link binds + waits and all that other great stuff... though i only know how to do it for counterstrike... but i know there is always a way.

    One of my friends "was" working on the num keys for some slick binds that would change depending on side (aliens they would bind to the alien nodes and marines their buildings/weapons/equips.) Though it seemed to give him alot of issues so he bagged it.

    Hey if you feel you are devoting more that the average gamer to this mod, go for it and get yourself some ""elite" 81n|]$".

    Ahh if i get bored myself il find the code i had... sit tight. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    (you would be surprised at the outcome...)
