OMG! I just discovered that you can TEMPORARILY bind unused keys to certain commands in the console... all this time I've been altering the config.cfg file...

For those who do not know how to do it, when you have the console open in the game type the following (exactly as I put it)

bind "g" "give weapon_handgrenade"

replace the letter and command with whatever you want to use.

The unused keys are generally 6-0, b, g-p, x, and z

These bindings help me in determining my mapping methods (such as light placement and such)...

bind "7" "r_speeds 1"
bind "8" "r_speeds 0"
bind "9" "r_drawflat 1"
bind "0" "r_drawflat 0"

And I have 6 as impulse 101 when I get pist and wanna massacre something (or even barney hehe)

But as I said, I found out that you can bind keys for JUST THAT SESSION if you wanted.

PS.....

WHATEVER YOU DO!!!!!!!!!

Do N*O*T type in the console

unbindall

You will be stuck in the console and furthermore will not be able to use the keyboard AT ALL! (at least not till you restart the game :) )

DUH! :P

We know! I know! :D

Have you heard about alias's? With this you can multiple commands to one key, and shorter.

Try this:

Type in console: alias tau give weapon_gauss
Now type: give tau

Voila, you get the Gauss cannon.

Another example:

Type in console: alias 1337 give_weapon_gauss;give item_suit; give item_longjump
Now type: give 1337

You'll now get 3 item at once.

Experiment with it.

I typed unbindall once and I had to bind all of my developer keys, cheat keys (cough) and everything!

I've never actually typed it. I tried to remotely execute it on some poor sod who joined a CS server I was hosting a year or two ago though. Wouldn't let me do it.

Maybe you could with rcon. Kinda weird thingy.

or you can flood up a hated server by going in the console and typing:

bind "(any key)" "(Message here)"

it is hilarious!!! :P

Ya it is.

With Entmod, you can spawn pretty much ANYTHING with this command:

entmod_create (entity) 1

If you type:

entmod_create rpg_rocket 1, a rpg rocket appears and launches immidiately. When bind to a key, you spawn more rpg_rockets right after eachother, creating a powerfull rocket barrage. You can still contoll all the rockets with the laser dot on the rpg launcher.

If you type:

alias rpg entmod_create rpg_rocket 1

and then type:

bind "any key" "rpg;rpg;rpg;rpg;rpg;rpg;rpg;rpg;rpg;rpg;rpg;rpg;rpg"

you can seriously make everybody ph34r you. This will spawn 13 rpg rockets at once, at the same spot. This will cause them to detonate. To prevent that, add the wait command. So your command line should be this:

bind "any key" "rpg;wait;wait;wait;rpg;wait;wait;wait;rpg;wait;wait;wait;rpg;wait;wait;wait;rpg;wait;wait;wait;rpg;wait;wait;wait;rpg;wait;wait;wait;rpg;wait;wait;wait;rpg;wait;wait;wait;rpg;wait;wait;wait;rpg;wait;wait;wait;rpg;wait;wait;wait;rpg;wait;wait;wait"

Can you follow?

It will take some time to write all that into the console, but you can also setup an cfg file in your mod directory.

Mine is w00t.cfg. Inside, i have kinds of funny commands like that. All i have to do is type exec w00t.cfg in the console and all commands inside will be executed, including those long commands. Really pwnage!
