<div class="IPBDescription">ie what key do you use for what</div> I mainly want to know what key everyone uses for quickswitch weapon, as it is a feature I have a hard time using sometimes. Or anything interesting like having weapons binded to non-number keys, ect.

Yes I search for bindings and key bindings and got nothing useful.

    cl_cmhotkeys "wertasdfzxcv"
    hud_fastswitch "1"
    bind q "+voicerecord"
    bind "ALT" "impulse 3"
    bind "SHIFT" "lastinv"
    bind "SPACE" "+speed"
    alias +goup "+jump; +moveup"
    alias -goup "-jump; -moveup"
    bind "MOUSE3" "+goup"
    bind v "+goup"

    So yeah, I use shift. Though when I really need to be sure it will switch in time, I spam the appropriate number key. It's strange how often lastinv can fail.

    I actually use f for lastinv. I don't have any use for the flashlight anyway.

    I use the arrow keys next to the numpad.

    Ctrl is crouch, Shift is lastinv, enter is use, rmb is jump, middle mouse is menu, \ is drop weapon

    I don't use the lastinv bind. Why use it when you could press the corresponding weapon number? I think you could forgoe some potential hassle.

    Actualy, semi on topic here: I've got hud_fastswitch set to 1, i've got the mousewheel binded to next and last weapon, so why doesn't it switch the weapon fast? It only selects the weapon in the menu at the top (like it does if you press 3 with fastswitch 0 on).

    I've got the same settings in DOD, and it works properly in that (scrolling up <b>draws</b> the next weapon instead of just selecting it).

    Help?

    I did that until I started accidentally hitting the wrong key. This way, I just switch to the gun with ammo.

    Only thing that I have that isn't default is gamma, sensitivity, hud_fastswitch 1, and my crouch is bound to ctrl.

    I actually asked the same question before and got this answer, which worked.

    bind mwheelup "invprev; +attack; wait; -attack"
    bind mwheeldown "invnext; +attack; wait; -attack"

    Type that in the console and you should get it working properly. Also, the invprev and invnext commands can be switched around.

    invprev and invnext aren't affected by hud_fastswitch 1. It only affects actual slotx commands.

    I use:
    bind mouse3 "a3"
    bind mouse4 "a2"
    bind mouse5 "a1"
    alias go1st "slot1;alias a1 go2nd;alias a2 go3rd;alias a3 go4th"
    alias go2nd "slot2;alias a1 go1st;alias a2 go3rd;alias a3 go4th"
    alias go3rd "slot3;alias a1 go2nd;alias a2 go1st;alias a3 go4th"
    alias go4th "slot4;alias a1 go2nd;alias a2 go3rd;alias s3 go1st"
    go1st

    This basically works so that I can use 3 mouse buttons to access any one of my 4 slots. I hit any of the 3 buttons to go to a different slots, and then I either hit a different button to go to a different weapon or I hit the same button again in order to get back to slot 1.

    Removes any need for a lastinv because it works just as quick and gives you more options.

    bind "c "jointeamtwo"
    bind "f1" "readyroom"
    bind "f4" "+voicerecord"

    About all the custom ones I use.

    I couldn't imagine having to press f4 to talk. Seems awkward.

    With a very old microphone like mine, it works.
