Re: how do I reassign the TV select in Helo

OK, I tried it...

Just a quick note: it's Renderer.DrawPostProduction. Anyway, it looks just like you expect it to: no static and basically just a boxed-in version of what you see normally.

Told you. Douchebags. Quit hatin.

Should having lighting on low be cheating too since you can see into dark areas better?

Seriously... I just started playing with all graphics maxed again like 2 months ago because it was too easy with lighting on low. I got banned for "hacks" for TVing people in buildings because you can see their heads bouncing around through the windows.

Re: how do I reassign the TV select in Helo

I want to change the TV select mode from right mouse to scroll button (my old and achy hands keep de-selecting at the wrong time in the heat of battle)

do I have to go into controls.con?
or how?

Holy back on thread Batman.....

Use the BF2 options and tell me what button BF2 sees your scroll wheel click is.

Once you do that Ill make a quick and easy( and LEGAL) config fix for you to place in your controls.con file...

better yet Ill just tell you how to do it...

Once you find out what key BF2 sees as your scroll click go here
?:\Documents and Settings\????\My Documents\Battlefield 2\Profiles\????/controls

Open with Notepad

Look for this
ControlMap.create HelicopterPlayerInputControlMap


then this line below
ControlMap.addButtonToTriggerMapping c_PIAltFire IDFMouse IDButton_1 0 0


change the "1" to the number that BF2 sees your middle mouse click as, save changes, and enjoy.....

Scroll click is recognized by BF2. I have it assigned to parachute and it works. (well as much as the parachute works in BF2 anyways)

Out of curiosity, I tried that and it didn't work. Said something along the lines of Unauthorizthed method or command.

No idea man, I just added that line to my profile.con and went in a local server to test it.

Yeah, I wouldn't try this at all except for offline. Just because PB didn't detect it in 2007 doesn't mean it won't now.

Go into your BF2 controls menu, select "land Vehicle" tab, then selct the secondary or primary "alt Fire"

It should be the one mapped to mouse 1, click your scroll wheel, viola your done.

yahoooooooooo ! :banana: this one worked
seems as though EA, in another typical demonstration of "infinite brilliance", treats the gunner in the helo as a land vehicle seat!

of course, this also effects the 'cannon' in the APC and
(probably tank and will have to check the Bombers)

thanks !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:score:

yep - confirmed - effects ALL alt fire (APC, Tank, Bomber and helo gunner seat)

Re: how do I reassign the TV select in Helo

Someone else stated that earlier in this thread.... so they should get the credit for it... I was trying to work around changing all of the alt fire for everything else, which I could show you if you need it.

I do recall seeing it earlier as well = and I discounted it because it was a LAND vehicle, and
I am not sure I need to edit it 'back to normal' for tanks and APC = as the scroll button is close enough to the 'right mouse button' , but if you have a simple edit to break it out from the Helo Seat #2 - might be nice for future reference - thanks

Re: how do I reassign the TV select in Helo

Yeah, he acted like I was stupid for suggesting it earlier. I didn't make it that way, I just found it in the course of screwing with my controls. I had my mouse buttons set to switch seats quickly in vehicles, found that they also switched me back to the pilot seat from the gunner seat. So I guessed that the gunner seat is treated as a land vehicle by the controls. The 2nd seat in the bomber is the same way, and so are the passenger seats in the transport helis.
