ESDF is great, as there are suddenly an extra 3 keys on your left for your little and 4th finger to play with. However, when you decide to play on a friend's / LAN party PC, it either takes ages to reconfigure the controls, or is confusing to use the default ones.
One day PC Gloves will be invented and a simple wave will get a jetpack, and extending your middle finger would be bound to something like
TFGH for main movement... i mean look at your k/b... done? notice thy are pretty central... and gievs you lots of keys on either side to play with <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
TFGH? With my keyboard that would give me RSI in just a few hours of playing. Look at the angle your left wrist is contorted into! OKOK, I exagerate, but I think I would prefer having striaght wrists whilst playing, rather than bent ones. Still, every man to himself. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
Is there a voice modulation tool available for NS? I have experimented with the various pitch controls but still cant get the desired tone. I think a comm wh sounds like Darth Vader could get some serrious work out of those lazy marines...

I use C, but thats because I dont comm much <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
the C whould be very easy to reach.. If you use wasd that is.

what are you all going on about? mouse5 is +voicerecord, obviously. You can reload, fight, jump around, run, fly, duck......all while yelling at the comm for a bigger gun!
I feel small with my three-button mouse...whoever took the time to figure out how to put 7 buttons on a mouse has no life rofl <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
...and an Über skilled muscular system in their hand. My Optical Dual wheel 5 button baby (omg that sounds so sad...) could not possibly have another 2 buttons without them being on the right side of the mouse, which is just daft. Maybe if you put an Apple Style button on it? (Rock to click.)
I mean, if u bang the mouse against anything (eg, side of keyboad,) your marine is going to expload in a mass yelping for med, ammo, help, orders...
Well I use Up Down Left Right for movement...(its what they were made for; fps's <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> )so all my stuff is situated on the right of the keyboard. Cant believe so many ppl use WASD - i see em as stuck in the middle of a thick mass of keys; I'd be pressing the wrong ones all the time (tho i suppose u get used to it <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> ).
Anyways: NumPad 0 to talk NumPad 1 for map End is use Delete is last weapon PgDown is something... ctrl crouch shift jump return reload.
All situated in their own relevant blocks, surrounding the movement keys. Never fails. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

I never had a problem with it, and I do not know any scripting (one reason I don't have any scripts, beside the obvious reason that I don't approve of them). I don't have any different configs or anything, and it works fine for me, maybe I'm just lucky.

Ever since I changed to WASD (And I am <b>still</b> getting accomodated to that..) I have modified some of the other nonessential commands to better keys. So now Chat is <Z>, Team Chat is <X> and Speak (Voice Record) is <C>. Works well enough for me, since reaching over to <Y> and <U> just takes that much more effort.
I have used v as my voice communication key since I started playing on the Half-Life engine. With commanding in 2.0 the command grid uses v (it corresponds to recycle ^^.) Since this represents a problem, I simply moved the grid to:
uiop jkl; nm,.
I can use v and do not have to worry about alt-tabbing accidentaly.

Comments
MOUSE1 = Fire
MOUSE2 = Alt Fire
MOUSE3 = Slot 5
MOUSE4 = Slot2
MOUSE5 = Slot1
MWHEELUP = Slot3
MWHEELDOWN = Slot4
zippy
I personally use Q, but this gets in the way when commanding, as it is also the button for the build menu.
mouse3 is good as u can use it as marine,
and i use alt while i am comm.
mouse 2 is jump
i use esdf, with q as lastinv
w as menumode, r reload and v as flashy
g as drop weap, a as use, shift as walk,
ctrl as crawl
i use 1-9 on the keypad for alien upg evolutions and
ins-pg down for buildings,
this way i never have to use the menu mode anyway.
lol im going to far into detail.
want me to post my l33tox .cfg?
"mouse3"

Ie,
Ask for Med = Mouse 5, or Ask for Med = q, and then your mouse driver binds mouse 5 to q?
Damn Ami mouse drivers... Mine dont seem to have Mouse5 as the event. Ah well.
