i know the \ (next to z and left shift on a UK keyboard) dont work properly on most q3 engine games but u can normally at leat use it to bind say a weapon too,like i do in q3 and rtcw,but in ET it dont work at all :frowning:

:\

in the ingame settings i cant even get the key to register at all and in the cfg if i add “bind 0x00(this is wot q3 calls the \ key on a uk keyboard) xyz” again nothing
also when i was sorting my control keys ingame when i pressed mouse 3 it came up as CTRL and mouse 2 as KP_INS in the menu :s any1 else had this?

Should be fine as just
bind \ I would have thought. (Ok, I’m using a different keyboard, but it works fine for me)

Tried adding bind \ in your config instead of 0x00?

yea man ive tried \ instead of 0x000 and it puts it on my # key
its been a problem with all the quake engine games from quake 1 to quake 3(in q1 & 2 on a uk keyboard the \ is unbindable) but like i said in Q3A and RtCW u can use it but in this mod i cant :frowning:
must be because its not in the same place as other keyboards(next to left shift and Z on mine)but just dont understand why it dont work in this mod
wierd thing is if i press it in console it comes up fine but in the game options if i try to bind it to a weapon the key dont even work
