I lost motivation to make these config creators due to the lack of people interested.

Sorry C*S, When I play, I don't even pay attention to any of the spam that comes across the screen. I grab the RL and kill.

Maybe get people intrested in it by adding features

For something like a config generator, a scripting language lets people change it without recompiling. C*S could use Perl since it's designed for text manipulation.

I was actually thinkin about your program earlier and wished that you could bind more then 1 button like for instance,

You could just run the program 3 times to do that

I can make much more than just talk configs.

How about a color randomizer? When I connect to a server, it would randomly choose a color for my guy.

atm I'm not sure how I'd do that using Aliases and Binds :-/ Unless you made an alias for each server (RA = shmack:26001, Bomber = ca.quakeone, etc). Then I could make "random" colours. I don't know how to make stuff completely random in config files :-/

I WAS thinking of making server.cfg where you could make an alias for all of your favorite servers. And also make an alias to LIST all the aliases for the server. I currently use that system. No Baker, not all of us use Joequake

Dual Weapons!!!!

If Dual Weapons was to be involved in a config creator, the only input I'd need for the user would be the KEY or ALIAS to activate/deactivate it :-/

I should probably make a Dual Weapons tutorial using a demo. :-)

Now that's something I would use. Does it matter what client you're using?

alias phat "connect quake.phathookups.com:26000";
alias ra "connect quake.shmack.net:26001";
alias ctf "connect ctf.clanhdz.com:26000";

alias list "echo phat - phathookups; echo ra --- shmack:26001; echo ctf -- ctf.clanhdz";

I'm very sure any quake engine can recognise that. That would be very easy to implement into a program

Want it done?

[Grim]

Yes I do.

Would you be able to add to it at anytime?

[Canadian*Sniper]

Seeing how there's lots of servers, I'd most likely want to make this program file inputed. Therefor you just need a file with the alias and ip/dns and port for each line and it'll generate the config automatically

how's that sound?

btw i DO use msn.icq.aim.yim add me

Sounds great!

Sorry I do not. I stay away from IM's all together. It's a quirk of mine.

I would be interested in the alias file once it's done. I have one already but need to update mine. I have it to where I just type in Fear or Shmack and it takes me right to the server. That's what your talking about right? I just never did the edit to add the other servers and forgot how to make it list in the console? I use GLPro.. not Joe Quake. But if you can reach console commands you should be able to use it with everything right?

Added. I found the servers change my colors to. Since you would go to different servers and probably want to use different weapons/binds/etc wouldnt you have different configs that would also control your color? In my alias I have a color chooser as well as the server lists. I just type green , or red.. or whatever I have available to me in there. In the alias is where I would stick that if I didn't need extra cfg's.

Here's my response for your every sentence

cool! cool! cool! yes that's what I'm talking about! cool! cool! yes, hopefully

Added. cool! probably but that seems complicated for a command prompt program. I know how to do that easily but that's extensive right now for a config creator. I can show you how to do that though .

cool! x3

I never forgot my word on this. I will find some spare time into creating that in the next few weeks. It should only take 30 minutes to code, I just need the mindset to do it

Anyone want a particular format of the server list?
