Hey guyz.

I decided a long time ago to post some tips for CS. Things I learned here and there

I'll try to do it in one time here.

N00b tips:

- ALWAYS SHOOT RIFLES BURST ONLY ! This means you can't open up a whole clip of an AK on someone. The AK is a very powerfull weapon but only if you shoot two to 6 bullets in a row (I prefer 3). You can also keep firing but you need to move your mouse downwards as you let your gun rip . This is called "riding the ..." (damn I lost the word .. I will edit it in later . THIS EVEN GOES FOR THE MP5 (!) and the FNP 90.
- Try to use EVERY weapon for a whole day, figure out what kind of guns you can use in certain situations. Some guns just can't be used on some maps.
- Find out what gun you like most.
- Try to figure out how far you can run untill the borderarea (the area where if you rush the fastest you will engage the fastest enemy rusher) on EACH map.
- Find different bomb areas. Try to find spots on the map that disguise the bomb (on the railing on CT bombspot or on vertigo; try planting the bomb behind the revolving door).
- Find different campspots (I'm gonna get comments on this one ).
- Find spots that camouflage your selected model (use the Arctic Avenger on aztec, tundra. Use the Guerilla Warfare model on italy etc etc).
- Play with your sound setting HIGH ; you'll hear more (not recommended when you use headphones)
- Ghost a lot of good players you see. Try to compare all the other good players strong points and merge them into your own. Also ghost good players who specialize in weird guns.
- If you see the bomb and you need it (as T) there is probably some @ss CT camping there to protect it. Use FB's first OR scout the area before you grab the bomb and run like hell.
- Talking about FB's. Ghost Lecaf to learn how .

Advanced tips:

- Try to find out the perfect "rate setting" on every server. I found out when I was f0cking around with these settings that you can actually improve or worsen your ping. I use rate 6000 on +35 server. I use a different setting on the [*DRUNK*] clan server.
- Bind your secondary weapon to a quick key close to your movement keys .(I'll give my setup at the end so you can compare).
- Use mousewheels to reload (this is faster !).
- Try using mousehweels to scroll through your weapons (again this is faster; BUT you need a scroll wheel that ALWAYS keeps the same smoothness. I use Logitech Pilotman Ballmouse and after a while the mousewheel is much looser causing the selecting thingie to go past the weapon I want .
- Clean and buy new mouse frequently if you use ballmouses; I buy a new ballmouse at least once every month. (But I play A LOT as I am an addict).
- Bind "stopsound" to a key. This will make the jukebox sound (in italy) stop. Everyone will still hear the music coming out of the jukebox but you WON'T. You can hear the CT's coming up the stairs but they won't hear you moving around the house because of the music . Also the wind in thunder pisses me off when I'm playing with headphones. I truelly hate that sound. This can be used to stop that too. This is also very handy when a door / elevator starts being gay and making a irritating sound (the elevator in oilrig / the garagedoor in office)
- Try finding a person who plays well with you so you can act as a two man team. I used to play with [*DRUNK*](Genocide)APC who was / is a very very good player. He rushes like me but is overall better wayyyy than me. He is very good at pointrushing (being the first rusher to reach the enemy). I found out that I'm more of a back-up rusher even though I still pointrush a lot . We started playing as a team. Rushing together, shooting while the other one is reloading and communicating more than other players. IF YOU EVER FIND A PLAYER YOU CAN PLAY WITH LIKE THAT, RECRUIT HIM INTO YOUR CLAN ! You will have sh!tloads of fun slaughtering people. On +35 I haven't seen a lot of that happening; only foreign clans dropping by once in a while. This DOESN'T work with rushers ONLY. A camper can have a fellow camper protect his @ss while sniping loads and loads of enemies.
- Use a very sensitive mouse setting within CS; I have used settings as high as 14 (I found that was too sensitive for me). I now use 11.0000. This is for when you need to make that 180 turn to shoot Flyfisher in the head when he tries to shoot you in the ass.
- Find a server with ONLY good players; let your @ss get raped OVER and OVER again. This is good. You will learn new tricks on these servers (!).

I will edit more tips in later when I think of them.


For reference here are my settings:


Movement;
Arrow keys: up (forward), down (back), left (strafe left), right (strafe right). Jump (key pad INS). Duck (right CTRL, underneath the right Shift key). Use key (Enter). Secondary weapon quickbind (key pad 1).
Shooting; Mouse: Used for looking ONLY. Left mouse button (fire). Right mouse button (secondary weapon function; like zooming in with sniperrifles). Reload (mousewheel up). Scrolling through weapons (mousewheel down).
Normal Y and U chatting keys.

Other quick binds.
F1 name Sorry (for TK / TH'ing accidents)
F2 name [*DRUNK*]GRAVEFILLER (gotta change your name back too )
F3 Timeleft
F4 nextmap
F5 Screenshots (think this is standard).
F10 Exit game.
F12 "stopsound" (for cases described above). Can you plz help me with that one i cant get it to work

All my fire buttons are on one hand (except the secondary weapon quickbind)and this one 2 plz. Movement and use are on the other. (I use right hand for mouse). The only buttons taking time are the ones I can use when I'm dead or just starting (nosound at the beginning of every round; nextmap and timeleft when I'm dead).



We rock your world

Ok but i have still probs but only with the Secondary weapon can you plz make it 4 me so i just has to copy it ore are i total offline.

Sure m8

bind "KP_END" "go_slot2"

The KP_END is my key.. Fill in anything there.. "DEL", "ENTER","INS" etc...

Also I have some other tips for you to try out...

In the CSTRIKE folder make a new text document with notepad or word.

Call it aliases.cfg

Fill this in in the aliases.cfg :

alias clmenu "slot10; wait; slot10; wait; slot10; wait; slot10; wait; slot10; wait; slot10; slot10; slot10; slot10; slot10"
alias r3_need "radio3; menuselect 3;clmenu"
alias r1_go "radio2; menuselect 1;clmenu"


The first line doesn't do anything but remove the radio command selection thingie (when u press either Z, X, C you get another screen right? Than u have to pick a number again THEN it goes away again.. This line sees to it that it's removed when u execute this line (as far as I know because I'm not a scripter hehe )
The second line is nothing more than a quickselector for radio command C 3 (which is NEED BACK-UP; in the programming of CS it's called radio 3 menuselect 3 )
The third line is one I made myself (both command are based on SHEEP's comment about scripting in CS). I just used a little imagination on this one. (it's almost ALL the same once you get the hang of it ). It does nothing more than say " Go Go Go" which is (in CS programming) radio 2 (X) , menuselect 1. X 1 is Go Go Go .

Now you also got to do this in your autoexec.cfg INSIDE your CS folder:

exec aliases.cfg

This command line tells autoexec.cfg to start up your aliases.cfg everytime.

This is an example of what u CAN fill in your config.cfg:

bind "DEL" "say_team GUYZ I'M IN DEEP SHIT ... NEED BACKUP BOMB SITE -> B <-;wait;r3_need;clmenu"

This binds the total string / command to the DEL key:

It looks like I'm a programmer here but it's all VERY VERY simple .
You should recognize the "say_team" structure..
The "say_team ...... -> B <-" is only the text part.
So when u press DELETE it will write this text to team only.

Here comes the fun part : the wait command is nothing more than what it says... The execute (=>exec) program is waiting. The third thing you see is the NEED BACK UP thing you just binded in your aliases.cfg. You should recognize the "r3_need" part now .
The fourth is "clmenu" which just means CLEAR MENU (as far as I know).

You HAVE TO USE THE "; ; ; ;" in between in order for the lines to work .

So just copy this what I wrote down... Test it on a CREATE GAME on your own comp. See how it works.. Understand it.. THEN start f0cking around with it. Change the text, bind other radio commands to buttons etc etc... I have config's of a REALLY good player and I have ALL config's of =TAMM= members who are a PRO team in Europe.
I can send them all to you if your interested.

6-Pack.. It ALL looks very difficult but it REALLY isn't just f0ck around with it and you get the hang of it SOON...

This is a very neat trick (I use it my self ), because you can play around with binds and aliases without messing with your config.cfg. Just make a new cfg-file and call it from the autoexec.cfg

Another way of calling the cfg-files is to add them to the string in the shortcut to CS on the desktop. My string looks like this: "G:\Half-Life\hl.exe -game cstrike -console -noipx -nojoy +exec aliases.cfg +exec demos.cfg" where aliases.cfg and demos.cfg are the files containing the "homemade" scripts.

There are a LOT of premade scripts out there - A very good one is the one from Nextwish, but hurry up - He says he is closing down his homepage in 2 weeks due to ISP-problems! With this script you can very easily bind ALL radio commands, buy weapons, change between primary and secondary, change hands etc. etc.

PS: Notice my superior "quote handling"!!!

In these demo recording times, I will post my demo-script again. This is the content of my demos.cfg:

bind "KP_MINUS" "demo"

alias demo "demo1"
alias demo1 "alias demo demo2; record demo1; developer 1; echo ----- RECORDING DEMO 1 -----; developer 0"
alias demo2 "alias demo demo3; stop; developer 1; echo ----- STOPPED DEMO 1-----; developer 0"
alias demo3 "alias demo demo4; record demo2; developer 1; echo ----- RECORDING DEMO 2 -----; developer 0"
alias demo4 "alias demo demo5; stop; developer 1; echo ----- STOPPED DEMO 2 -----; developer 0"
alias demo5 "alias demo demo6; record demo3; developer 1; echo ----- RECORDING DEMO 3 -----; developer 0"
alias demo6 "alias demo demo7; stop; developer 1; echo ----- STOPPED DEMO 3 -----; developer 0"
alias demo7 "alias demo demo8; record demo4; developer 1; echo ----- RECORDING DEMO 4 -----; developer 0"
alias demo8 "alias demo demo9; stop; developer 1; echo ----- STOPPED DEMO 4 -----; developer 0"
alias demo9 "alias demo demo10; record demo5; developer 1; echo ----- RECORDING DEMO 5 -----; developer 0"
alias demo10 "alias demo demo1; stop; developer 1; echo ----- STOPPED DEMO 5 -----; developer 0"

This means that when I press the "minus" on the keypad, "demo1" will start recording, and I get a message on screen saying that. When I push it again, "demo1" will stop", and I get a message on screen saying that. When I push it again "demo2" will start recording, and so on ...

The script is set up to start with "demo1" again (overwriting the old "demo1") after "demo5" has been recorded, but its very easy to change that from 5 to 10 or 50. Just add more lines

Ark just install nextwish and my console is gone DAMN
And now just reinstall nextwish and its still spoking in my CS
Can anyone tell me how to get it away 4 good

---

Yup - Choose "uninstall" from the startmenu (in Windows), but the script assigns console to a key, so it shouldnt be nescessary to uninstall just for that reason!

Try look in config.cfg and look for the string: bind "some keyname" "toggleconsole" where "some keyname" is the binded key. Change it to bind "~" "toggleconsole" if it isn't that already. "~" corresponds to the ½-key on a Danish keyboard. If it IS "~", then it isn't the scripts fault, that the console isn't working!!!

I found this on the Nextwish homepage:
3. Helpme, my console is missing!
- Go to your cs/hl shortcut. (if you use a program such as gamespy, you'll have to change the .exe command line as well, or just point it to the desktop shortcut)
- Right click on the half-life/cs shortcut
- Click on properties
- Add -console to the command line (in the 'target' field).
- Load up notepad and open up your config.cfg in /half-life/cstrike/ and find the command console "0" and change that to console "1"
- If you can't find it, just add console "1" at the very end of the config since it gets executed from top to bottom.
