class + spawn selction

[Connection]

i had this posted in the old forums thought i would share:

 

first of all this is written for me, and i have my keyboard and cfg structure "goofy-footed" ... there are 2 main differences from the way 95% of ppl are setup:

 

(1) i use arrows for movement instead of wasd, and have numpad normally bound to things like weaponbanks and playerstats toggle etc. -- so i use the right half of keyboard, not the left.

(2) i have an autoexec.cfg that does nothing but exec 12 other cfgs. i have separate cfgs for diff. type of code, i.e. "binds.cfg, settings.cfg, toggle.cfg, names.cfg, vsays.cfg ... etc"

 

in order for you to use this code as it is, you would need to have a "bindexec.cfg" in your etmain folder, along with a line in your autoexec that reads

exec bindexec.cfg

(so your binds are set when you exec your autoexec ) -- of course you can change the name as you like, but change it in both places.

 

if you can see how this works though, you can use the concept to do the same thing in your own cfg in a way that suits the way yours is structured.

feel free to use the code; i just hope you will be nice enough not to claim that you came up with it all yourself. i used other codes to learn how class selection worked, but this is all my own code.

 

so anyway, i wrote a spawn/class sector that works like this:

 

press F9 once:

rebinds my numpad with class selector and spawnpoint selector stuff.

 

 

press F9 again:

execs my "binds.cfg", which sets all my normal binds. most keys are still the same, and all the numpad keys are overwritten with their normal binds.

 

each class selection includes a /kill and forcetapout, so with 2 keys i can be ready to respawn as any of 10 classes.

 

it consists of 4 cfgs in my etmain folder ( apart from bindexec.cfg and the autoexec.cfg ) and one line of code in my autoexec.cfg. so, 5 parts:

 

(0)

in autoexec.cfg, this line:

exec "spawnchange_01.cfg"; echo "^2Spawnchange Files ^7have been ^3loaded!"

 

(1)

all this is saved as "spawnchange_01.cfg"

this part of the code defines 15 possible classes, and chooses 10 of them to be used as numpad 0-9. i don't use medic, and skipped some of the heavy weapons. to use this, pick and order the 10 "classXX" vstr binds from the classes.

by default this script gives you dual pistols and smg for lvl 4 heavy weapons if you have the xp for it.

all this is saved as "spawnchange_on.cfg"

this cfg includes all the re-bound functions on the numpad, so here is where you would change what the numpad will be ( or move them to other buttons if you don't like the numpad ).

notice i have commented out a function to put you spectator. that turns out to be a really bad button to accidentally press if you forget to shut the spawnchanger down lol. i decided it was wiser to take the time to type out "/team s" if i want to go spectator.. and just never took the line of code out. use at own risk =p

 

note too the spawnpoint selectors in this cfg --

/ is default,

* is spawnpt 1 ( often a command post spawn ),

and - cycles through a few more.

 

spawnpts are different on every map; there is no real standard and its up to how the person who made the map decided to assign spawn points. trial and error will tell you what spawnpt is what, but i can tell you that command post spawnpoints are usually either 1 or 4 on popular maps, and the higher you go up in spawnpt #, generally the further away from the objective, but still often this is not the case, so you need to trial-and-error every map to see what points are what. next version of this script will hopefully include a "command post spawn" button.. but not for now.

this is just a called function to display what each number on the numpad is bound to, in case i forget. of course i don't need this anymore, having memorized all the settings after using it for a couple years =p

and all this is saved as "spawnchange_off.cfg"

this script calls "bindexec.cfg" as i talked about earlier - "bindexec.cfg" is a file that contains all my default keyboard and mouse binds, so it will overwrite the binds that the spawnchange script changed.

i hope it is self-explanatory enough to at least inspire some of y'all.

i didn't include team-specific scripts because i figure if i am going to change teams, it's worth a trip to the limbo menu or at least the console. who really needs to change teams with one button, anyway?

 

future version to include:

jaymod version ( class selection variables are way different in jaymod )

team selection / team-specific binds

command post / rear spawn / special spawnpt buttons. this will require team-specific separate cfgs for every map, and collecting spawnpts is an ongoing process..

echo spawnpoint locations i.e. "spawn at old city" etc.

 

i appreciate any criticism/suggestions/questions/comments/help listing spawnpts for maps

=)

For my cfg, I have map cfgs, for example autoexec_sp_delivery.cfg, autoexec_goldrush.cfg that have the spawns named properly so its not just spawn point 1.

 

here is the autoexec_supply code

 

//SPAWNTIMER
timerset 0
wait 200
set echotime "echo ^0>^7Supply Depot spawntimes^0:; echo ^0>^7Axis^0: ^730 ^0& ^7Allies^0: ^720"
vstr echotime

set axisTime "timerset 30"
set alliesTime "timerset 20"

//SPAWNSELECTOR
//allied spawnpoints
set blue1 "setspawnpt 1; echo ^0> ^7Spawn^0: ^7Barn; set spawn_blue vstr blue2"
set blue2 "setspawnpt 3; echo ^0> ^7Spawn^0: ^7Forward Bunker (Flag); set spawn_blue vstr blue3" 
set blue3 "setspawnpt 4; echo ^0> ^7Spawn^0: ^7Command Post; set spawn_blue vstr blue1" 
set spawn_blue vstr blue1
//axis spawnpoints
set red1 "setspawnpt 1; echo ^0> ^7Spawn^0: ^7Forward Bunker (Flag); set spawn_red vstr red2"
set red2 "setspawnpt 2; echo ^0> ^7Spawn^0: ^7Depot; set spawn_red vstr red1"
set spawn_red vstr red1

echo "^0> ^7Supply Depot Spawns loaded^0!"

In my team autoexec it binds vstr red or blue to a key

I know it works in EtPro and EtPub.

I have posted Jaymod class script before somewhere. It has all code for weapons in it.
