Share Config/Console Code Stuff Thread

There is also the

unbind

command.
unbind <key>

Indeed.

Here is how you use config/console code to defunctionalise a button:

//defunctionalise a button bind
alias ALIAS ""
bind BUTTON "ALIAS"

Or do it this way:
bind BUTTON ""

By placing nothing between quotation marks in code you can defunctionalise a button.

I neglected to expand on the greater purpose/origin of this post so here goes:

My //many grapple hooks bind post contains code designed to allow you to switch between a wide variety of commands and one ultra-simple instance of button defunctionalisation, it inspired my //defunctionalise a button bind post.

The two binds below show you a blueprint for how to combine commands with button defunctionalisation.


//alternate a single command with button defunctionalisation bind
alias ALIAS1 "bind BUTTON1 ALIAS2;bind BUTTON2 COMMAND1;echo YES COMMAND1"
alias ALIAS2 "bind BUTTON1 ALIAS1;bind BUTTON2 ALIAS3;echo NO COMMAND"
alias ALIAS3 ""
bind BUTTON1 "ALIAS1"
bind BUTTON2 "ALIAS3"

BUTTON1 = change command using
BUTTON2 = use equipped command


//alternate multiple commands with button defunctionalisation bind
alias ALIAS1 "bind BUTTON1 ALIAS2;bind BUTTON2 COMMAND1;echo YES COMMAND1"
alias ALIAS2 "bind BUTTON1 ALIAS3;bind BUTTON2 COMMAND2;echo YES COMMAND2"
alias ALIAS3 "bind BUTTON1 ALIAS1;bind BUTTON2 ALIAS4;echo NO COMMAND"
alias ALIAS4 ""
bind BUTTON1 "ALIAS1"
bind BUTTON2 "ALIAS4"

BUTTON1 = change command using
BUTTON2 = use equipped command

//disable hear-view chat bind
alias chatoff "cf1; cf2"
alias cf1 "bind BUTTON chaton; set cl_chat_sound 0; set con_notifytime 0"
alias cf2 "echo chat off"
alias chaton "cn1; cn2"
alias cn1 "bind BUTTON chatoff; set cl_chat_sound 1; set con_notifytime 3"
alias cn2 "echo chat on"
bind BUTTON "chatoff"

Alternate 'alias cf2' line:
alias cf2 "clear;echo chat off"
The 'clear' command clears the console of messages.

Or do it this way:
set cl_chat_sound "0"
set con_notifytime "0"


cl_chat_sound - This is a Q2PRO command, i don't know what else it works with.
Specifies sound effect to play each time chat message is received. Default value is 1.
0 — don’t play chat sound
1 — play normal sound (‘misc/talk.wav’)
2 — play alternative sound (‘misc/talk1.wav’)

con_notifytime - This is a regular Q2 command.
The delay before console messages disappear from the screen. Default value is 3.
0 — don't show console messages

For the 'cl_chat_sound' command the talk1.wav file is located just below the talk.wav file in the standard Quake 2 pak0.pak in \sound\misc.

For the 'con_notifytime' command if you set 'con_notifytime' to '0' you can still view the console messages by just opening up the console.

If you can't use the cl_chat_sound Q2PRO command then you could use a silent talk.wav file instead.

Follow this process:
1. Disconnect from the game you are currently playing and close the game client.
2. Put the pak attached to this post with your other pak files.
3. Open the game client and reconnect to the game you were previously playing.
4. After you finish playing the game remove the pak. (optional)

The pak attached to this post contains only one file, it is a silent talk.wav file.

p.s. This pak solution is to be used in conjunction with the con_notifytime regular Q2 command.

This post is for places that have lists of Quake 2 commands.

I will add more as i find them or as you suggest them.
