Author	Topic: Help on keyboard commands and ent files
JVortex Member	posted January 20, 2001 06:56 PM OK, first of all the keyboard commands: Does anyone out there in cyber-land have a listing of the various keyboard commands for Tread Marks? I'm not talking about just the basics but the commands such as Alt+K, F8 and so forth that aren't listen in the manual. I have poked about a bit and can't seem to find and references to those types of commands. One in particular that I'm interested in is a command to discard your current weapon in exchange for a different one. Is there such a command? On a similar note, is there a list somewhere that explains what the different command parameters in the ent files actually do in game? some of them make sense just from looking at them and others throw me for a complete loop. For instance if I change "Rotation = 0, 20, 0" to read "Rotation = 10, 8, 25" what will that do? (that's from a flag file) Will it make the flag tie itself in knots? Will the flag react as if in a hurricane? Hell, will it shred itself to bits and explode? Anyhow, enough with these long posts of mine, I'll try to keep the things shorter in the future. ------------------ Let the rocks roll and the battle commence. BZ The RPG. Check out the site!! IP:

This needs the "AninDir" line as well as an "AnimFPS = n" line added. --RC IP:
JVortex Member	posted January 22, 2001 01:32 PM OK, well thanks guys. I was afraid that the answer would be something like that. Well if nothing else I think a good key would be something like adding in Alt+D or something to Drop the current weapon. Just a thought. ------------------ Let the rocks roll and the battle commence.

peeeto Member	posted January 22, 2001 06:12 PM the secret keystroke to drop a weapon is the space bar with the default keyboard setup... you may have to hit it a few times, though ------------------ Black Widow Lance all the way, baby! IP:
