Name binds....

(RUDE_TLD) #1

I have a few name binds in my autoecec.cfg. I typed them in all UPPERCASE, but when I use them my name goes to lowercase.

I go look at the ETconfig.cfg and it has been switched to lowercase there as well.

I manually changed it in the etconfic and my autoexec, both in the etmain and the profile directory. How come my binds keep switching back to lowercase???

I don’t get it! I’ve checked all of the configs to make sure they are in CAPS, but when I go in game and use them it re-writes my configs with lowercase.

Anyone else seen this?? :banghead:

use " "

I do have the""…here’s what my binds look like…

bind uparrow name “^3R^1U^3D^1E^3[^1TLD^3]”
bind downarrow name “^0R^9U^0D^9E^0[^9TLD^0]”
bind leftarrow name “^0R^9D^0[^9TLD^0]”

Heres my etconfig after I go in game and use the binds…

bind UPARROW “name ^3r^1u^3d^1e^3[^1tld^3]”
bind DOWNARROW “name ^0r^9u^0d^9e^0[^9tld^0]”
bind LEFTARROW “name ^0r^9d^0[^9tld^0]”

am I doing something wrong?

I am going to remove the extra spaces and see if that works.

Nope taking the extra spaces out didn’t fix it either :angry:

Something is writing to my etconfig, but I can’t figure out what is doing it. My autoexec stays unchanged as does the etconfig in the etmai directory. But the etconfig in the profiles directory is getting re-written by something. WTF???

(O2.iceman) #6

You need to create a default profile first, and then just copy your configs into that directory.

I did that and have my configs in ther…still it forces my name binds to lowercase!!

Move the first " in your autoexec, so:


bind uparrow name "^3R^1U^3D^1E^3[^1TLD^3]" 
bind downarrow name "^0R^9U^0D^9E^0[^9TLD^0]" 
bind leftarrow name "^0R^9D^0[^9TLD^0]"

becomes:-


bind uparrow "name ^3R^1U^3D^1E^3[^1TLD^3]" 
bind downarrow "name ^0R^9U^0D^9E^0[^9TLD^0]" 
bind leftarrow "name ^0R^9D^0[^9TLD^0]"

E.T. writes whatever’s in your autoexec to etconfig, but it’s obviously changing it in someway, possibly because the syntax in autoexec is wrong. I’ve got a mixture of uppercase and lower case letters in my name, the syntax in autoexec is correct, and I never have any problems.

I’m pretty sure that’s how I had it at first, then I moved the " after the name to see if that worked…I may be wrong so I’ll try it again. Thanks for the tips.

here is another way to do it also:

bind uparrow vstr nic1
set nic1 “name ^3R^1U^3D^1E^3[^1TLD^3]”
bind downarrow vstr nic2
set nic2 “name ^0R^9U^0D^9E^0[^9TLD^0]”
bind leftarrow vstr nic3
set nic3 “name ^0R^9D^0[^9TLD^0]”

Or even:-


bind x "vstr nametog"
set nametog "vstr nic1"
set nic1 "name ^3R^1U^3D^1E^3[^1TLD^3]; set nametog vstr nic2"
set nic2 "name ^0R^9U^0D^9E^0[^9TLD^0]; set nametog vstr nic3"
set nic3 "name ^0R^9D^0[^9TLD^0]; set nametog vstr nic1"

So pressing one key (x) toggles between multiple names. Obviously add more if you want, and change the “x” to whatever key you want to use instead.

Whoohoo the toggle works great…thats guys appreciate it!! :drink:
