mouse3

[Subfix]

Hello, I've been reading around this forum about binding keys, I used to play CS a lot, and it was so easy to bind stuff... but, we can't do anything about this.

I respect the attempt to abolish script-kiddies/hack scripts, but I was wondering if there's a way to bind F1-F4 to change what mouse3 does...

I recently set mouse3 to the C4 slot on special forces, and it's nice to be able to whip those out in a second's notice to blow up (or try to) a tank or something.

However, BF2 doesn't really have a slot-scheme where that slot is always what I want, so I would like to be able to change what is does when I change classes without having to go into the options menu and rebind it there.

I don't think this is hacking at all, just an easy way to rebind my mouse button.


Anyways... like I've said, I've read around, but I can't even seem to find the right controls.con to edit (I don't have a /Profiles/000X directory??).

Thanks in advance.

Re: mouse3

It's in your 'My documents/battlefield 2' folder..

But what you want cannot be done there...

Re: mouse3

Well... that's lame. I guess I need more mouse buttons. Dammit.

Re: mouse3

Depends what you are trying to do. Most 'equipment' is in the same slot, for example, primary weapon is always slot 3, knife is always slot 1 (i think).

outline EXACTLY what you are trying to do.

Re: mouse3

Well, I have mouse2 bound to weapon slot 3, which is always the primary weapon, works fine.

But I only have one free mouse button left, so if I'm Special Forces I would want to to be C4 (slot5), another class I would like it to be slot4, etc. I just would like to easily be able to toggle which slot that particular mouse button switches to.

Re: mouse3

In CS you could script a new bind, and activate it when you change class, but i don't beleive there is such a function in BF2.

Re: mouse3

Yeah I tried editing the controls.con with some in-depth crazyness, but it didn't work... and I don't think there's a way to insert aliases into BF2, I think I might have a problem imbedding a ControlMap.* inside a ControlMap.* function...

If there were an alias with a ControlMap.* function then I'd bet another ControlMap.* function could call is up without problems... hmmmm.

I noticed in the /mods/settings directory there's a AliasedCommands.con, but apparently that doesn't have anything to do with normal gameplay.

Re: mouse3

you could bind yoru mouse to next weapon, and get used to pressing it a few times
