I've added a little something to the bottom of the redeemer 101 page. If anyone else would like me to do there set up as well just send me a pic with what keys perform which function. if we can get a couple different types of set ups it might be kinda cool and may actually illuminate some Newbs. Or not.

what the hell is that thing on the left?

Damn...no wonder I get my azz kicked.

MY SETUP:
I have a standard PS2 keyboard (cheapest you can buy)
D = Forward
C= Back
S & X = Straff Left
F & V = Straff Right
Q = Speak Menu
W = Speak

Intelipoint Microsoft Wireless Optical mouse:
Left Button = Fire
Right Button = Alt Fire
Scroll Center = Change Weapons

And I have the keys on my number pad set up for vaiours taunts and expressions. Have other keys set for various poses.

Hmm, that's interesting, Bigi. I have never see that one. I am a child of the Nintendo-Sega era, so I use the arrow keys.
Jump is the right control button
Crouch is the decimal on the keypad
Speak is the button right beside control (I have no idea what it is called.. File key perhaps...)

When I was running D3D, I used to accidentally hit the Windows key, which would crash the game... Thank goodness for Open GL!

I am a pretty good touch typist, so it feels more comfortable having the left had in its proper position...faster for me. My friend who got me into the game plays with the arrow keypad...I would have to move my keyboard to feel comfortable like that.

Hey Jarg, does that mean you use the mouse in your left hand? I'm the only one that I know so far that does that. I use the arrow keys in the right, and aim with the left.

i use arrow keys as well control is jump crouch is c talk is t

mouse is used in right hand

mah are you a lefty(do you write with your left)
max the new update is very cool
hotts

same as hots for me arrow keys with left hand mouse in right with the letters q,w,a,s,z,x, as taunts

I have pretty much the same physical setup as you Max but I use the dpad on the N50. The up/down arrows are jump/crouch and right/left are next/previous weaps. I also have a drop relic hotkey. That is handy on servers that still use relics.

Last but not least the translocator. I have a hotkey setup to switch to the translocator. Not wanting to leave well enough alone I have a second translocator hotkey. It automatically brings out the translocator, and while holding the button down it sends out a beacon. Let go of the button and you automatically transport. This is a special one and involves either editing user.ini or entering preferences at the console. I'll show the user.ini method.

1.) Open user.ini in Notepad.
2.) Scroll down to the aliases and add the following line to the next available alias:
Aliases[25]=(Command="GetWeapon BotPack.Translocator | Fire | OnRelease AltFire",Alias=TransJump)
If the Alias wasn't used it will show this:
Aliases[25]=(Command="",Alias=None)
My next available alias was Aliases[25] yours may be different.
3.) Not done yet. You still have to assign that alias to a key. Scroll down in User.ini till you find an available key. I used the enter key.
Enter=Transjump
If the key isn't used it will show the key followed by the =.
Like this:
Enter=
4.) Save and close user.ini
I have this hotkey on my middle mouse button.

Mahatma asked:


Nope. Right hand mouse, left hand keys. That sounds odd, are you a lefty?

Iceman, That sounds pretty cool. I think I will give it a try. Thanks

i'm a lefty but use my mouse in my right hand and everything else in left it would just feel weird to use mouse in left hand i think

hotts

Oh sure Iceman. Like Jarg needed a reason to be even quicker with the Translocator. :lol: I thought I was the only one that used the Nostromo. I remember Bo telling me he used it at one time but found it caused some conflicts for him and never really worked right. I find it interesting that you use the directional pad. I actually never used it. i felt it was a little awkward. I guess it all depends on hand size (Insert size/penis jokes here).

Hey Bigi the thing on the left is called a Nostromo Speedpad n50. I found myself destroying the arrow keys on my keyboard so i picked this thing up. Really works well and you don't have to search your key board for the keys you have bound to certain functions. Higly recommend it.

Ok Mah your the only person who uses your mouse with the left hand. Yet another reason to think your a mutant. :mrgreen:

I'm probably goig to do 2 or 3 setups with a keyboard and regular mouse. Now where the hell did I put that ugly beige keyboard? :lol:

Do you guys all use regular mice or do some of you use a trackball with the keyboard?

See i said mah was alien sent to confuse us nobody listens to mee :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

No I'm not a lefty.

But my right forearm is over-developed, so it can't finesse the mouse, as it were. :lol:

OK, get ready for this..

tab key - translocator
caps lock - best weapon
left shift - crouch
space bar - jump

w - forward
s - backward
a - strafe left
d - strafe right

q - impact hammer
z - toss relic (or is this feign death?)

x - feign death (or is this toss relic?)

e - minigun
c - sniper rifle

r - team say
f - previous weapon

page up - 'oh yeah' ('you like that' when playing as Arashi)
page down - 'ha ha ha' ('i'm sorry, did i blow your head apart' when playing as Arashi)

gray minus (at upper right of keyboard) - mapvote

there is another set of key mappings on the right side of the keyboard which I used a very long time ago, centered around the arrow keys.

mouse - Logitech 3-button mouse (not optical)

left button - fire
right button - alt-fire
middle button - jump, then fire

mouselook is on

my thinking for re-mapping my keys is that why crunch yourself to the right side when you have all those keys to your left?

in the past, I've been known to use the mouse in both hands when setting up two machines concurrently, though when gaming, mouse is always in my right hand.
