People, many time ago I want to duscuss about bz2 console. And I find so small information about it.
(I delved into the essence of command bz2)

Everyone know how to work command "sky, fog, rain (etc)".
But I dont find information about command "bind \ alias" like in CounterStrike.
(In CS we can attach some commands to a single key. Including the sequence of commands)

I want to know, what command is "Fire"! (mouse1) ... Can I execute this command from console? And other command : jump (e) , deploy (space) etc.

Can I write for me "config", for my alias\binds (to simplify\cosily the game). (and save it.. and I see command "exec" .. like in CounterStrike? But maby it's very different meaning)

cfg's aren't protected assets

don't modify stock .odf, .xsi, etc.

As far as I know, you cannot bind some commands that are already available via the 'controls' options, like move/jump/change weapons etc. However you can bind certain other commands such as to enable/disable team colors, select all allies, create chat hotkeys, etc. These are some binds that I like to set for convenience
Also IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not save any files into the PAK file, ever. If you change any files, then save those files into the 'addon' folder. CFG (configuration) and DXTBZ2 (texture) files are safe to modify even if they have the same filename as an existing file; many other file formats (ODF, XSI, MSH) are not safe to modify and will cause bad asset errors to occur if they have the same file name as any other existing asset.

Hi once again. I have a question about OPTIONS bz2.
What does meet option "Force Feedback"?

and once more.
Can I "bind" , options.play.leveling *(1\0) on keys, and use them for more specific targeting. (on\off == in game process multiplayer, if I isn't a server?)
(AND!!!)
Can I bind this commands only once. (Or I need bind this cmd , every time?)

My guess is that force feedback is for gamepads which have a 'rumble' feature where it shakes when you take damage. Doesnt work on the gamepads i've tried it on.

Binds which are boolean (on/off) can be activated by simply specifying the command, you don't have to specify whether it is on or off, true or false, etc.

Senk u!
And once more question :
What does meet option "Multiword frequency == 12"
(for what this option? I have slow internet\ (about 3 mb\sec) can I change value , for more balancing playing with players who have better internet provaider?

The multiworld frequency setting controls the interval (in game ticks) between when data that's occuring in the netcode is synchronized with the visual world (ie: what you see). In versions 1.0-1.2 default MWF was 10 but the ideal MWF setting was 2 because the 'smoothing code' (the code which displays a player's expected location) was not as accurate as it is in 1.3 so it was far better to use a low MWF to reduce 'ghosting' (which is a phenomenon whereby a player's craft appears to be moving faster than it actually is). In versions 1.3 the default MWF is 12, but works well because the smoothing code works better due to changes to the networking code and craft physics which cause ghosting to occur much less frequently.

Multiworld frequency used to be a client-side option in 1.0-1.2 which meant that every player in the game could control their individual MWF, but in 1.3 the setting can only be changed by the host of the game and all clients will therefore use that setting.

Changing MWF used to be necessary in ST games prior to 1.3 because players knew how to move and accelerate faster than the rated top speed of their craft which would cause ghosting to happen. The downside to using a low MWF setting (and causing multiworld updates to occur more frequently) is increased CPU usage which may cause problems for people running BZ2 on slow computers. In 1.3, the default multiworld frequency is good enough, especially if you are only playing MPI games.

Zero Angel , )) thanks. But really most my games is "st".

People, once more I have question.

How to bind key combination ???

Like "Shift + T" , "Alt + C" , "Ctrl + B"???

And can I bind "Shift + Space" ?

(When I press and hold key Ctrl\Alt\Shift , and want to press next key bz2 puts Ctrl\Alt\Shift as Binded)

Bind("-shift -ctrl F1", "control.group.toggle1");

Bind("-shift +ctrl F1", "control.group.move1");

Bind("-shift -ctrl +alt F1", "whatever");

Red Devil , Can I bind
"Ctrl + Space" = (Create nav) ?
--
please explain more clearly what it means ^^^ !

try it and see

He is talking about on the 'controls' options in the menu (not newkeys). And no it's not possible to my knowledge. Pressing a modifier key (like shift, ctrl) will immediately attempt to bind that modifier to the action (e.g. LeftShift) so you cant do (Shift+T) or any other kind of key combo to my knowledge. I don't know how to change that. The userprefs file which stores the settings is in some kind of munged format that cant be gotten at by a text editor.

Correct, the Userprefs file is not meant to be user-modifiable -- or even bind a very particular set of modifier keys to an action. But, the input .cfg files are the opposite -- and they're easy to share with others once you get a set of bindings you prefer.
