scripting
i use to play a lot excessive plus, ctf gametype
today someone was speaking on a server about a script that allow u to change between weapon with same key
EX.
right-click mouse = switch between bfg and railgun
i wanna ask if someone can please explain better how this script work, and if there are some other usefull script that can be used
or at least put me in the right direction
thanks a lot
mhh i dont think that these scripts gonna be fetched good by the community,
but i can explain u how this scripts work, there is nothing else than that
[code:1]bind mouse2 vstr w_groupa
set wgroupareset "set w_groupb vstr w_groupb1; set w_groupc vstr w_groupc1;set w_groupd vstr w_groupd1"
set w_groupa1 "weapon 5;weapon 7; set w_groupa vstr w_groupa2; vstr wgroupareset"
set w_groupa2 "weapon 7;weapon 5; set w_groupa vstr w_groupa1; vstr wgroupareset"
set w_groupa vstr w_groupa1[/code:1]
iam not 100% sure if that works and i didnt test it, i have scripted it short after i see this post but this script allows u too change between rocketlauncher and railgun via mouse2 button. how u see its setup with v-strangs and resets (replace). replace is nothing else (in this manner) that the script replaces a weapon by pressing button too change too this one which is in this groups too (thats the reason why in 1 group u only can put 2 weapons in) ...... hope u understand it.
how i say dont know if this script works 100% but if it works, u can 1-3 more groups with weapon replaces so that u can change with 4 buttons 8 weapons ......
dunno if people still class this as cheating - but if you ask me its just a bind.
i wrote this little vstr just now
put it in excessiveplus folder in quake 3 arena directory
load q3, type /exec br to load it

If all it does is toggle between two weapons in a regular manner, I don't see any problem with it. It's been discussed lots of times in the forum and never seemed to bother anyone. Personally I don't see it as an advantage because I have less control over which weapon I'm going to get. Just don't get me started on switch-bug scripts...
at first, n1 para and tyr

yes thats my mind man
this is just a bind like all other and some ppl say it helps awsome too win and its same like cheat and blah blah ..... if iam true i would play with it too but i dont think it helps, at first it makes u worse cause when u get for show, railgun and rocket on it, u switch and get railgun then u switch too bfg or something and then u want too have railgun again, doesnt work u must first get the rocketlauncher.
so u must get very good timing with this scripts too use it normal, and when u can play with it, u dont play better then other or anything which gives u vantages, (this script CANT change weapons faster then configs allow)
so i know some ppl from e5 cfg and there are these scripts like cheating, but they are writen otherwise, cause the config has no weaponchange speed in their servers and u can script the railgun (e5+ i think) between all weapons u change, so that u when u change one time weapon and shoot it automaticly puts the railgun or something between and this weapon shoots too .....
but however i dont think that these scripts must be seen as any cheat or something
finally i find it

just for the people like me that need tutorials, here u find all
cheers
Thats suxs...scripts=cheat 100%
Imo scripts arent cheats at all ... only those ones in e+ 1.02b which was breaking weapon cycle wasnt fair ... well im not using scripts couse i like to switch weapons manually but if someone like i dont see anything wrong with scripts

so u dont think ppl breaking weapon cycle in 1.03
Are they? I thought that problem is fixed in 1.03.
i come from sof2 world, and also there there is the same problem
when a script it's only a bind and when it become a hack?
it's a thin line, but mainly i think like this: if a script can be used by all people, is not a hack; if a script can work only with a .dll library or under a .exe, it's a hack
about this script, i thought it wasn't a hack, mainly cause can be done and used by all people that play q3a, without downling specific files to make them work
anyway thanks for the input, i will try them
