Lastweap?

[gnounc]

I havent bothered to tweak my binds as I havent been playing deathmatch.

I just decided to throw in Quickaxe, but I dont remember the best way to
alias Lastweap.

Figured I'd ask here, BUT FIRST, are there any engines that have Lastweap built in? Is there a mod for lastweap I could compile in myself? That would be better than a bind.

Barring that, anyone got a lastweap alias they're willing to share?

[metchsteekle]

i use the scrollie wheel on my mouse, it works pretty good for going back and forth

[gnounc]

i use a trackball, no scrollwheel on the bugger.

Yeah, I wanted lastweap so I could go from a weapon (like sshotgun) and axe real quick,
then go back to sshotgun in 1 button.

do something along the lines of this:

alias AXE "impulse 1"
alias SG  "impulse 2"
alias SSG "impulse 3"
alias NG  "impulse 4"
alias SNG "impulse 5"
alias GL  "impulse 6"
alias RL  "impulse 7"
alias LG  "impulse 8"

//quick grenade
alias +QG "GL;+attack"
alias -QG "-attack;lastwep"

//default lastwep
alias lastwep SG

bind "1" "AXE;alias lastwep AXE"
bind "2" "SG ;alias lastwep SG "
bind "3" "SSG;alias lastwep SSG"
bind "4" "NG ;alias lastwep NG "
bind "5" "SNG;alias lastwep SNG"
bind "6" "GL ;alias lastwep GL "
bind "7" "RL ;alias lastwep RL "
bind "8" "LG ;alias lastwep LG "

bind mouse1 "+attack"
bind mouse2 "+QG"

this will use mouse1 as your standard fire button and mouse2 for a quick grenade..
when ever you use mouse1 after mouse2 it will switch back to the gun you had before you pressed mouse2

use the standard 1-8 keys to select your weapons (this also sets lastweapon)

obviously this can be tweaked with the bestweapon command.. and the bound keys should be customized.

personally i use a weapon system with 3 fire buttons:

//multi wait
alias w00 ""
alias w01 "wait"
alias w02 "w01;w01"
alias w04 "w02;w02"
alias w08 "w04;w04"
alias w16 "w08;w08"
alias w32 "w16;w16"
alias mw w00  //initial value

//cycle mw
alias cycle_mw mwc0
alias mwc0 "alias mw w00;alias cycle_mw mwc1;echo mw = 00"
alias mwc1 "alias mw w01;alias cycle_mw mwc2;echo mw = 01"
alias mwc2 "alias mw w02;alias cycle_mw mwc3;echo mw = 02"
alias mwc3 "alias mw w04;alias cycle_mw mwc4;echo mw = 04"
alias mwc4 "alias mw w08;alias cycle_mw mwc5;echo mw = 08"
alias mwc5 "alias mw w16;alias cycle_mw mwc6;echo mw = 16"
alias mwc6 "alias mw w32;alias cycle_mw mwc0;echo mw = 32"

//weapons
alias AXE "impulse 1"
alias SG  "impulse 2"
alias SSG "impulse 3"
alias NG  "impulse 4"
alias SNG "impulse 5"
alias GL  "impulse 6"
alias RL  "impulse 7"
alias LG  "impulse 8"

//best weapon aliases
alias BWSSG "bestweapon 3 5 4 3 2 1" //SSG
alias BWSNG "bestweapon 5 3 4 2 1"   //SNG
alias BWLG  "bestweapon 8 5 4 3 2 1" //LG

//default for Manually Pre-Selected Weapon (non-explosive)
alias MPSW BWLG                      //LG

alias sticky ""
//example: type "alias sticky RL" in quake console to always switch back to RL on button release
//(by default this does nothing)
//this will never actually be used as a weapon, but it will be the weapon in your bagback when you get killed
//in case of AXE this can be used to trick your opponent into letting his guard down :)

//direct fire aliases
alias +rl     "RL;mw;+attack"
alias -rl     "-attack;sticky"
alias +gl     "GL;mw;+attack"
alias -gl     "-attack;sticky"
alias +mpsnew "MPSW;mw;+attack"
alias -mpsnew "-attack;sticky"

//rocketjump (set cl_pitchspeed to a high value)
alias +rj "RL;+lookdown;+jump;+attack"
alias -rj "-lookdown;-jump;-attack;force_centerview"

//vertical grenade (set cl_pitchspeed to a high value)
alias +vg "GL;+lookup;+attack"
alias -vg "-lookup;-attack;force_centerview"

//zoom (scroll)
alias zoomin  zoom00
alias zoomout zoom00
alias zoom00 "fov 130;sensitivity 2.6;alias zoomin zoom01;alias zoomout zoom00"

//transparent water options

alias water3 "alias cycle_water water1;r_novis 1;r_wateralpha 0.3;echo trans water - not vispatched (low fps)"

//Default impulses on 1-8 (use for runequake menu and stuff like that)
bind "1" "AXE"

bind "3" "SSG"
bind "4" "NG"

bind "6" "GL"

//Default movement buttons

//My movement buttons
bind "d"          "+forward"

//Manually Pre-Selecting Weapons (non-explosive)
bind "q" "alias MPSW AXE"    //use for fun :)
bind "w" "alias MPSW SG"     //use for long range sniping
bind "a" "alias MPSW BWSSG"  //use under water or very close range
bind "e" "alias MPSW NG"     //use for fun
bind "z" "alias MPSW BWSNG"  //use under water
bind "r" "alias MPSW BWLG"   //use above water (most of the time)

//weapon-toggles (for runequake only)
bind "u" "weapon-toggles"    // set to disabled when connected to runequake server

//switch to alternative weapon for current weapon (runequake only)
bind "SHIFT" "weapon-mode"

//Fire buttons
bind "mouse1" "+rl"          // fire rocket launcher
bind "mouse4" "+gl"          // fire grenade launcher
bind "SPACE"  "+mpsnew"      // fire Manually Pre-Selected Non-Explosive Weapon
bind "v"      "+rj"          // rocketjump button
bind "ALT"    "+vg"          // vertical grenade button

//cycle Multi Wait
bind "F11" "cycle_mw"        // only use this when needed (too much lag/pl or low fps)

//zoom on scrollwheel
bind "MWHEELUP"   "zoomin"
bind "MWHEELDOWN" "zoomout"

//cycle through trasparent water settings
bind mouse5 "cycle_water"

this may seem very complicated but it is not..
the idea is to keep manual switching to a minimum
basically i only manually switch when:
- transitioning to and from water (SSG/SNG <--> LG)
- opponent at very close range (SSG)
- opponent at very long range (SG)
- i want to use a lesser weapon for fun sake (AXE/NG)

this only switches the weapon for the non-explosive-weapon fire button (SPACEBAR)
so RL and GL will still be available (provided you have them and ammo) on mouse1 / mouse4

also note that i use jump on mouse2, this makes bunny-hopping and rocket-jumping a lot easier
(coordinating moves when jumping with spacebar sucks )

[gnounc]

Hmm

Very Nice

My current setup is dead simple

e,d,s,f for movement

w,r for previous/next weapon

rightclick for jump
leftclick for shoot.

I think I'll add in rj's and zoom for now. thx

[MH]

Added.

[Mindf!3ldzX]

there is a hidden something in the button

[gnounc]

WOOOOOOO! thx!

[R00k]

Mindz sometimes websites overlay text ie "STOCK" over their images so people cant reprint them. maybe this is a residue.
I must have been drunk cause I honestly dont remember posting that post lastnight

[powerzord]

Axe doesn't help in DM, bind a mouse button for gun, use shift to cycle up to Shotgun, bind RL LG SNG and GL to individual keys

[R00k]

BIND MOUSE2 "IMPULSE 3 2" //DSG or SG

BIND Q "IMPULSE 6" //gl
BIND E "IMPULSE 7" //RL
BIND R "IMPULSE 8" //LG

OR if using proquake or qrack replace impulse with BESTWEAPON and stack impulses..

BIND E "BESTWEAPON 7 5 4 3 2 1 "

Qrack can stack IMPULSEs (as the mouse2 bind suggests) but im trying not to be complicated.
