Better default config

[alpha]

Default nexuiz config sucks - weapons on 7,8,9, crouch on shift, and a bunch of other annoying shit.

I am proposing some changes so that people not forced to suffer due to unplayable defaults.

Code: Select all

cl_bob 0
cl_bobmodel 0
set g_shootfromeye 1
set g_norecoil 1
bind CTRL "+crouch"
bind e "impulse 1" // Laser on E
bind f "impulse 2" // Shotgun on F
bind 1 "impulse 7" // Nex on 1
bind 2 "impulse 9" // RL on 2
bind 3 "impulse 4" // Mortar on 3
bind 4 "impulse 3" // MG on 4
bind SHIFT "+zoom"
bind q weaplast // CS players would enjoy
bind v +hook


This would make for more enjoyable defaults.

yes, we should immediately put that into default config.

That would be nice, but I dont think you get to make such decisions.

set g_shootfromeye 1
set g_norecoil 1

I'm not sure about this, really... Isn't that encouraging camping in the most sneaky places? Also, I think it would get quite disturbing for players to have effects shoot right in the middle of their screen, cluttering the view.

Also, why would you remove bobbing? There's nothing wrong with it...
But yes, I do agree that the default binds are not really suitable for gameplay.

bind 1 "impulse 7" // Nex on 1
bind 2 "impulse 9" // RL on 2
bind 3 "impulse 4" // Mortar on 3
bind 4 "impulse 3" // MG on 4

I quite like the numbers how they are. Please don't change these as numbers for weapons is how it has always been for first person shooters.

The other proposals you have here are making big changes to the overall default feel of the game.

Would it be possible though to introduce an option in the control setup menu to have a few buttons that loaded different included configs? Lots of games do this and it could just be linked to files called keymap[number].cfg.

Which is why you make your own binds right?

Where did hook/jetpack go? It used to be on "e" :} How much thought went into this?

+1 for Ed's idea though.

Exactly

It took me ages to get my own binds but now I'm fully used to them, and I love it

Binds are relative. Pretty much none are the same for everyone, what goes for alpha doesn't work at all for me for instance. Default binds should stay default, there is always the possibility to edit those binds to your likening.
I use the numbers 1-3 for Laser, Shotgun and MG, using Q for Nex, E for Mortar, CTRL for RL, Jetpack/Hook on ALT (so that I can move in any direction which you can't do if you let go one of the 4 main directional keys) and etc. etc.

What I do is just copy paste the bind keys from each config with new version, some odd 10 secs to do and you're done. Too long?

[C.Brutail]

Anyone heard of autoexec.cfg?

I'm using my binds there since... 3 versions now?

Well... after thinking about this for a while I must say that I don't care about default bindings.
But this:

set g_shootfromeye 1
set g_norecoil 1

Is absolutely a must have!!!

No this makes a _normal_ multiplayer, a _proper_ multiplayer. Every descent shooter works like this. Quake[1-3]? CS? Unreal? Oh.... geee... they all work right and only nexuiz gives hemorrhoid for free.
