General Things and function on the server.

[Mammal Master]

I'm just post a few semi Important things here.

First things first you must have your Developer console enabled.

- To enable it:
 Goto options -> Then keyboard.
-> Click on advanced settings at the bottom.
-> enable developer console.

most of the special features on this server you will need this.

ok now you have it enabled.

To open it you need to hit the tilde Key. it's next to the 1 button usually. It's this button <  `  >
looks like a squiggle.


 
----
-=All talk=-
If you want to talk to everyone on the server you will have to open up the developer console.


Just found out you need to add these 2 lines to your tf/cfg/autoexec.cfg

alias +alltalk "voiceall; +voicerecord"
alias -alltalk "-voicerecord; voiceall"

you have to bring up the Console < ` > then enter this.

bind h +alltalk

you can change H to anything you want.

now when you press the H key it will broadcast to everyone.

I ask everyone not to abuse the feature.

Also I have set a filter to it.

You need NGC in your name for you to use it.
It's just to stop non community member spam.

---------
-= Jet Pack =-

YOu need to open the dev console.
and enter
bind g "+sm_jetpack"

then use G to fly when it's on.

I'll try to keep this updated with other options.


- Thank you.

I R a nub.

I created a folder in tf/cfg  named autoexec.cfg, made it a .cfg file, and put the 2 lines in it......can't get it to work. What am I missing or what did I F@#! up?

Are you trying to to do the all talk? If you only have two lines in there, you're probably missing the bind

Put these in these in there. And like Mammal said, the H can be any key you want.

alias +alltalk "voiceall; +voicerecord"
alias -alltalk "-voicerecord; voiceall"
bind h +alltalk

[Bonzo]

I was binding my key in the console in game. I'll try doing it in the autoexec.cfg file.  Thanx

[VexV]

does this function/command superceede the alltalk setting that has been set for the round/map?

[Bonzo]

Yes it does VexV. We hope it doesn't get abused.

Don't you need a line in the config file to make it read the autoexec.cfg file?  Like exec autoexec.cfg?

You do not need to put anything in the autoexec.cfg to run it. If you were trying to launch a different config file in game you would type "exec configfile.cfg" in the dev console. autoexec runs itself though so you dont have to worry.

Also, to get the alltalk and jetpack options bound, if you bind them ingame, then the binds are saved automatically to you config.cfg file. or you cound just type the alias and or binds in your config.cfg or your autoconfig.cfg

[VexV]

ok, i'll make sure that i don't bind it to my normal talk button. this seems like a nice feature as the chat text area can be a mess sometimes when alltalk is off.

[Mammal Master]

Actually you need it in your autoexec.cfg
or the alias will be removed on shutdown.

[Bonzo]

I still can't seem to get it to work.
Here is where i put it

C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\username\team fortress 2\tf

titled autoexec.cfg

in it

alias +alltalk "voiceall; +voicerecord"
alias -alltalk "-voicerecord; voiceall"
bind j +alltalk

any ideas?

[Mammal Master]

C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\{Usrname here}\team fortress 2\tf\cfg\autoexec.cfg
you forgot the cfg

[VexV]

Bonzo, as mammal said you forgot to place it within the cfg folder. the correct directory structure should look something like:

Code:

...\Steam\steamapps\USERNAME\team fortress 2\tf\cfg

USERNAME is your steam account user name

in that folder, there should already be config.cfg and autoexec.cfg as well as cfg files for each class (soldier, scout, demo, etc for class specific scripts that are auto executed when you select a character class). if you don't have an autoexec.cfg file, you can make one using notepad or any other plain text editor. just make sure that the file extension is saved as .cfg and not .txt (turn off Window's file extension hiding option to be sure as sometimes notepad will append the txt extension anyway). do not make any user edits to config.cfg as that file is overwritten by the game every time TF2 opens/quits so none of your scripts will be

i'm actually a big fan of scripts and have some for each class and also have a bunch that bind weapons to the various mouse buttons. i find the most convenient ones are for engineer and spy. i have scripts that allow me to build using the press of F1-F4 keys and destroy using Alt+F1 - F4 so that i never have to use the engi PDA/build menu. similarly, i have scripts that allow me to disguise by simply using the keypad number keys and allow me to swap team colors using the keypad period button; no need for cigarette case.

for a decent primer on scripts and some useful scripts:

I figured it out. Instead of autoexec.cfg  ...... it's just autoexec

Now it works

This might be in the MOTD but I'm not in TF2 right now, what is the command to see the list of maps/thumbnails that you worked so hard to put together? Sometimes  I want to nominate a specific map but can't remember the damn name.

[Arctic]

I believe that would be !mapinfo <map_name>
