There is: emp_eng_recycle_1 : remote recycles primary turret emp_eng_recycle_2 : remote recycles secondary turret (when ranked) emp_eng_recycle_3 : remote recycles engy cam emp_eng_recycle_4 : remote recycles engy radar emp_eng_upgrade : upgrades turret in focus engselect 0 .. 7 : works only with calculator in hand and readies an item to be built (must still be placed), where 0 : nothing selected 1 : mg turret 2 : ml turret 3 : ? ml turret, but undroppable ? 4 : engy camera 5 : engy radar 6 : walls 7 : ammo The thing to sort out is, that emp_eng_recycle_x will recycle the specified turret slot, while engselect only selects a type, so with 2 turrets you may need extra binds for each type and each slot. What I currently have in my engineer.cfg is Code: bind "F1" "emp_eng_recycle_1;engselect 1" bind "F2" "emp_eng_recycle_1;engselect 2" bind "F3" "emp_eng_recycle_2;engselect 1" bind "F4" "emp_eng_recycle_2;engselect 2" bind "F5" "emp_eng_recycle_3;engselect 4" bind "F6" "emp_eng_recycle_4;engselect 5" bind "F7" "engselect 6" bind "F8" "engselect 7" There's also a couple of others, like changeclass, changeskill etc., but I haven't figured out yet how and when they work - it would be nice to have some class/weapon presets that way...
He put those binds in the Engineer.cfg. Put the vehicle seat binds in the Vehicles.cfg and it will switch between them for you. (In theory.)
While Demented is basically right, there's no need to do that: The seat binds are already restored in a vehicle, as per the default emp_config.cfg (which has specific binds for infantry/vehicles/commander), so the engineer f-keys shouldn't interfere with anything else.
while we are at this, why are the binds in config.cfg AND emp_config.cfg anyway? :eek: also thx for this :D
config.cfg is where HL stores the current configuration (current key binds, joystick/mouse and some other client settings). Empires also uses its own controls-configuration dialog, and these settings are stored in emp_config.cfg. Both files are overwritten by the game, so don't put your own binding stuff in there, or it will be lost
I know this is a very old post however it all-but covers something I've been wondering about. In my server installation there's a "commander.cfg" located in empires/cfg. The only text in it is //binds for commander. What is the purpose of this file?
The .cfgs in there just simply execute whenever you're one of those classes, that's why you have commander, rifleman, engineer etc. They're just there for hardcore players who might use them, because most people won't need them. I only ever really used zoom_sensitivity_ratio 0.2 in the scout.cfg myself, didn't need the others.
I know this is old by why not a bind to select and place bind "ins" "slot4; +attack2; wait; -attack2; wait; engselect 1; wait; +attack" bind "home" "slot4; +attack2; wait; -attack2; wait; engselect 2; wait; +attack" bind "pgup" "slot4; +attack2; wait; -attack2; wait; engselect 7; wait; +attack" bind "pgdn" "slot4; wait; +attack2; wait; -attack2; wait; emp_eng_recycle_1; wait; +attack" bind "end" "slot4; +attack2; wait; -attack2; wait; engselect 6; wait;+attack"
Sorry threw those together real quick. Tested and they worked. Depends on how long you press the key. The ones I use is are about 6 lines long each. There are ways around " sv_allow_wait_command 0." Instead of ;wait just use another command to take up space.If all else fails you could use a time delayed macro. As for the -attack It helps with some source games. Some games without -attack it will keep firing. Would have made better ones but ...I was up for 36hrs.
