    Joystick in half-life??? You mouse is much better.
    Anyway, try using the options -> controls menu and see if it works.

    I played NS with the little button in the middle of laptop keyboards once.

    ...I don't like to talk about it.

    Create a file called joystick.cfg: If you don't have this file, you can use notepad to type it in and save it with this name and as a cfg. This allowed me to make my joystick work. You may be past this point, though, and you might want to adjust some of the joy#s here.

    joyadvanced 1.0
    joyadvaxisx 3
    joyadvaxisy 1
    joyforwardsensitivity -1.0
    joysidesensitivity 1.0
    joyforwardthreshold 0.10
    joysidethreshold 0.10
    joyadvancedupdate
    bind "JOY1" "+use"
    bind "JOY2" "+jump"
    bind "JOY3" "+reload"
    bind "JOY4" "+voicerecord"

    Keep adding bind lines for other things you want to do. Does anyone have a full list (or link thereto) of the command-words we can drop in here, to bind? Some are straightforward, some you can deduce by setting your Options to keyboard keys and then reverse-engineering whatever shows up, into Bind lines. Others are a mystery to me.

    I dropped this file into both Steam/config AND steam apps/your email/halflife/valve. Then just to be sure, I created the userconfig.cfg file (per instructions at the head of config.cfg) with just the four bind lines, putting it in steam apps/your email/halflife/valve.

    NOW my problem is I used to have a Gravis Blackhawk with only 4 buttons. Just got a Logitech Attak3 with 11 buttons, and no matter what I bind them to, it doesn't want to see anything over 4 buttons. Anyone? <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/confused-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    I guess that is marginally better than touchpad:

    Turn, turn, turn TURN DAMNIT
    Tap, tap tap FIRE FOR THE LOVE OF...NO NOT SCROLL LOCK!

    I assume Weltschmerz's post should be of help with the joystick issue.
  • Anbu-AtomiskAnbu-Atomisk Join Date: 2004-08-17 Member: 30679Members
    thanks for the help, but i need one more thing. what is the name of next weapon/previous weapong, I'd like to bind 2 of my buttons to those for quick Fade blink/slashing.
  • ZekZek Join Date: 2002-11-10 Member: 7962Members, NS1 Playtester, Constellation, Reinforced - Shadow
    Why not just use Slot1 and Slot2?
  • Anbu-AtomiskAnbu-Atomisk Join Date: 2004-08-17 Member: 30679Members
    so i can use it on marines too
  • DragonMechDragonMech Join Date: 2003-09-19 Member: 21023Members, Constellation, Reinforced - Shadow
    I dont know them off the top of my head, but there is an easy way to find out. First, start NS and bind the previous & next weapon commands to some ordinary keys - "[" and "]" would work.

    Then, look in the "config.cfg" file. You should be able to find the appropriate commands bound to the "[" and "]" keys.

    <span style='color:white'>If you have an issue with a moderator's decision, PM him.</span>

    For the record, NS has the next weapon command already impulsed out to impulse 1. afaik, there's no previous weapon impulse like that, but lastinv should take care of that.
  • TwilightTwilight Join Date: 2004-02-20 Member: 26730Members, Constellation
    Use lastinv to quickly change between two weapons, better than using nextinv or previnv (or whatever that other ones are) as you're not limited to using two weapons in adjacent slots

    Exactly. If you're really gung-ho about it, you can ask around the boards for a switching script, complete with echos and the like. (Search for Scripts, you'll find something or someone).

    Any ideas/insight, all, on why I can't add buttons 5-11 (per my post in this thread) to my config file and have 'em work? Is it something with my new joystick maybe, which otherwise kicks totall @ss? <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Just checking in, to keep this fresh? Anyone have an idea why NS/Steam won't seem to see any buttons over #4 on my new 11 button joystick, per my earlier post? Thanks. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
