Suggestion for better mousewheel control

(Milbo) #1

I scripted some mousewheel control for me, because me fingers feel pain :wink:
The script do the following,… if u rollback u take the mainweapon (weaponbank3) the next time u rollback u are reloading.
The first time u rollforward u got the syringe and the second time u get the medipacs,…Probably simular to the other charakters,…
Here my script
bind mwheeldown “vstr specialtoggle01”
set specialtoggle01 “vstr weapon11”
set weapon11 “weaponbank 1;weaponbank 2; weaponbank 3; set specialtoggle01 vstr reload; set specialtoggle02 vstr weapon9”
set reload “+reload; wait; -reload; set specialtoggle01 vstr weapon11; set specialtoggle02 vstr weapon9”

bind mwheelup “vstr specialtoggle02”
set specialtoggle02 “vstr weapon9”
set weapon9 “weaponbank 5; set specialtoggle02 vstr weapon10; set specialtoggle01 vstr weapon11”
set weapon10 “weaponbank 6; set specialtoggle02 vstr weapon9; set specialtoggle01 vstr weapon11”

//Wheelmousealtern.weaponsscript
set Alternweaponzoom “unbind mwheeldown; unbind mwheelup; weapalt; bind mwheeldown weapprev; bind mwheelup weapnext; set nextAlternweaponzoomtoggle vstr Alternweaponzoomoff”

set Alternweaponzoomoff “unbind mwheeldown; unbind mwheelup; weapalt; bind mwheeldown vstr specialtoggle01; bind mwheelup vstr specialtoggle02; set nextAlternweaponzoomtoggle vstr Alternweaponzoom”

set nextAlternweaponzoomtoggle “vstr Alternweaponzoom”
bind mouse3 “vstr nextAlternweaponzoomtoggle”

Probably u try it and like it (i hope so). Perhaps u catch the idea and integrate in ET. I thought try it now there is a chance for it :wink:

AHhhh yes and ET is GREAT, it will be one of the best shooting games ever The grenphysik is nice, the gameplay (building things) and the sound of the weapons, the MG´s (very nice like in CS or MoH) and the skillsystem,… and,… and,…

Your far better of binding these to separate keys,having to use the mouse wheel is slower and could cost you your life in some situations.
Once u have learnt seperate keys for each weapon and speacial ,you will soon find its alot faster at getting straight to the weapon/special u want.
Infact i know some servers were you will get kicked for using the mouse wheel ,its a clear sign of an inexperienced player,iam not saying ur an unexperienced player but iam letting you know what i know from my experience :slight_smile:

i’m using the mousewheel as fovcontrol - will i get kicked than on these servs :slight_smile:

fov is purely something u see only on your screen,but when you see a medic for e.g scrolling through is mouse wheel to get to needle to revive or scrolling to pack for health is so frustrating when u need it instantly,and is a clear sign of a new player IMO.

I am a very experienced player. I played all without mousewheel for a year, because the wheel isnt useful,… but my fingers are cracked, i had to stop playing for weeks caused by my tendon inflammation. So the control of the mousewheel is absolutely stupid (programmed with no sense and no brian behind that.
And the mousewheel is not slower than another key?? Plz explain me this Englander,…
The mousewheel is useless (apart from scoping). So I thought about a solution to use the mousewheel (it is the best reachable key and we dont use it?? strange, or?).
I think u didn´t understand it,… try it first, and then talk about it,…
If I pull the mousewheel down I get everytime the main weapon of course this saved my life many times (much faster than hitting the 3) and if u trigger it twice (respectively u already have the main weapon in your hand) u are reloading (save the r key for other things ;)).
If it have to go fast roll the mousewheel down (its not a prob, u dont have too hit it exactly, simply roll down until u got the weapon (the orders are not stored)
I like this configuration and it is very fast,…sure if it have to go fast I hit the 5 or 6 for medipacs resp. the syringe (because i am used to it) and the forward thing is not so good for experienced players,… but the mousewheeldown thing is genious (hehe sorry self-praise stinks).
So if there is a game in beta and this game have the same useless wheel control like RTCW than I try to change this,…
I think my mousecontrol would be much better than the normal thing,…
sure the mouseforward thing is a bit complex and not sooo useful, but the mousewheel down thing could be a general (for all classes) without probs,…
E. g. For the Soldieres there should be instead of “syring or medipack” a “Pistole or gren” mousewheelforward configuration
E. g. for the engs,… instead of “syringe or medipack” the “mines or dynamit” or “mines or grens” or simply “mines, dyna or grens”
Important is, that there is a simpel concept behind it (e. g. the grens are always the last in order (or better first)

Sure the experienced engs will use the normal keys, …but this is better than the old control

I love my scroll mouse. I have the roll forward set for the syringe and the roll back to med packs. I use the wheel click for the two handed weapon.

I have an Intellimouse Explorer so I have an extra thumb and pinkie button. I use the thumb for grenades and pinkie for reloading.

I can also use the roll for engie tool and dynamite or air strike and ammo pack, etc etc.

(I just saw a mouse with two scroll wheels at a store and I am thinking of getting one.)
