    I don't use mouse 3, but I think I should start.

    standard default controls for everything except shift is duck, ctrl is walk, I bind q to 'lastinv'

    I grew up on the arrow keys, and so I remain on the arrow keys <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Up for forward, Back for Backwards, Left for Strafe left, Right for Strafe right. (simple eh?)
    Right-Shift is jump
    Right-Control is duck
    Enter is Use
    Mouse1 for fire
    Mouse3 for reload

    As needed I assign things to my delete, end, insert, home, \ backspace. I also use my numberpad for weaponswitching (I'd use mousewheel if it worked), and my numberpad0 for voicecomm.

    In contrast, I use WASD for when I'm COMMing, because for some reason, the arrow keys don't work correctly.

    Most people don't like my key setup, but if I try to play using WASD at fast speed, I end up nailing the CAP LOCK, Q, E, Z, X and several other keys in that area instead...for me, the arrowkeys are just a lot less cluttered, and make quick movement easier. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I'm a lefty:

    I - forward
    K - back
    J & L - strafe left and right
    space - jump
    RShift - crouch
    Enter - walk
    H - use
    ; - reload
    RCtrl - voice comm
    Mouse1 - fire
    Mouse2 - in-game menu
    MouseWheel Up & Down - fast weapon switch

    I've been using this control scheme since Deus Ex, and I've yet to improve on it.
  • UhOhUhOh Join Date: 2002-11-03 Member: 6320Members
    forward and back arrow, left and right arrows for strafing only.
    weapons bound to keypad easily hit with thumb 1 4 7 2 in order
    voice chat bound for numpad 0
    Mouse for turning firing command menu, wheel for pistol firing (doesnt work as well as some peoples).
    End Key for Chuckle
    Right shift for jump, right control for crouch, enter for use and \ for reload.

    May seem a little strange to you wasd'rs but its what ive grown accustomed to for over a decade and i never have to move my hand cept to type up chat (T for team C for global). My kill counts speak for themselves on its effectiveness. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I couldn't get the customise screen to reconise them either, but if you click them ingame, <b>MOUSE4 IS UNBOUND</b> would appear.

    So, I just went into the cfg file and did it <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Foward: Mouse 2. Been doing it in every fps since half life deathmatch.

    My other directionals are
    Back A
    Left Strafe D
    Right Strafe F

    The way my controls are set, I can still used the number keys for quick switching of weapons i.e. leap-bite combos, and my left hand doesn't get all contorted after many hours of gaming like a wasd combo would do.

    Shift is crouch
    Space is jump
    E use
    R reload
    Q walk
    W flashlight

    S is my secondary fire in any mod/game that has such.
    For my command menu, it's mouse3.

    There was a thread a little while ago where I guess I found out I wasn't the only guy who used Mouse2 as forward.
    I had a bunch of friends that introduced me to my first fps in Half-Life deathmatch many years ago and whenever I played, I just couldn't get a feel for a good config until one of my friends showed me his "home row" technique which is very similar to my setup.
    I do like it, but I've got 1 friend who thinks I'd benifit from standard controls. I've yet to try it, simply because I love this setup and it's hard to switch now that I've stuck with it for 3 years.

    btn 1 = /pwn rine or alien
    btn 2 = +use


    everything basicly the same as default but i switched E to popupmenu and Use to rightclick, as i find myself building or using more than i do using menu

    downside to that, cant 1hand the mouse so well when the other hand is doing something else... <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I use basic WASD, but my roomate uses:

    TFGH

    He has all the keys he needs around his baby finger and index finger, so he never has to move his hand.

    Does he have a logitech? Atleast my logitech cordless optical has 1 button on the side and I couldn't bind it. But now that I formated my comp and didn't install the drivers it works fine. I'm pretty sure it has to do with the logitech windows xp drivers. Oh well now it works perfectly (well if I bind it)...
