Topic: What's the Best Key Configuration? (Read 1000 times)

lknprk1510	What's the Best Key Configuration? « on: March 07, 2013, 11:26:28 PM »
Maggot Posts: 2	hello everyone, i just joined this site i know the ideas and techniques behind most jumps, but i cant seem to replicate most of them with any consistent results, is it my keyboard settings? i still use the default controls and CTRL for crouch seems really awkward considering how important it is... and when i'm practicing, should i just disable W all together? i have a bad habit of holding it almost constantly p.s. i'll be off to bed after i post this so goodnight!

Soldier Posts: 105	First welcome to our community! Now key bindings are just how you want them i know some guys that use mouse 2 for jump and ctrl or shift for duck. its your preference. I use shift for duck and spacebar for jump. And some competitive jumpers are using duckjump script. holding w was a big habbit from all of us but you can practice it go on jump_quba jump 3.1 there you have to strafe so you wont press w anymore after you got it maybe 10 times. A tip from me go demo and maybe go jump_trix and just do double (or with jumper triple) sticky jumps and try to strafe around. Dont disable W in jumping you will need it Last point is what everybody of us can say you PRACTICE AND PRACTICE! there is no way around it. Watch some videos some tutorials and try to understand do it like they did. have fun

As for rebinding crouch, my advice is to place your fingers on wasd and see where your little finger lies naturally. For me it's the \ key, it's a little smaller than CTRL but I don't miss it at all since my finger never really needs to move from there.

Soldier Posts: 108 Whirlwind "Torii Hurricane"	Well, I mean, you need to walk forward so...

Anyway, I have my crouched rebinded to Shift, more natural if you ask me compared to Ctrl, it's mostly preference though. As stated above... Please don't use a script for rocket jumping, you won't learn how to vary your rjs in different situations using them. Practice a whole lot and you'll get certainly get better, whenever it feels like you'll never get it, take a break and come back to it. --------------------------- torii_v3 azure aurora_a3 gateway_final finite_a2

Fly Posts: 99	I wonder if anyone uses the default binds, which, according to config_default.cfg is: Code: [Select] `bind "w" "+forward" bind "s" "+back" bind "a" "+moveleft" bind "d" "+moveright" bind "SPACE" "+jump" bind "CTRL" "+duck" bind "MOUSE1" "+attack" bind "MOUSE2" "+attack2"` That's gotta be painful. As for getting rid of the habit of holding 'W', I think for me it went away once I learned to start rocket jumps with the 'A' key. You walk forward with 'W', but then switch to 'A' key while swinging the camera behind you, followed by jump+duck+shoot...then you're in air-strafe mode using just 'A' and 'D' to steer and correct your flight path. Holding 'W' is still valid, but it's generally when you're very close to a wall and directly facing it, like going from a pogo to a pogo wall climb.

Fly Posts: 99	Heh, with CTRL key for duck, my pinky finger is like curled up under my hand, and I'm pretty much using the top of the finger nail when pressing. No idea how someone could do that, especially when holding duck is done so often. Maybe your keyboard is different, or you have smaller hands, I dunno...totally doesn't work for me.

Rocketeer Posts: 301 i love you	I want someone to suggest a key configuration that is super different from default (that people still use). I want to re-learn how to play TF2 because I have such horrible habits with the default key configuration. --------------------------- klanana: I DID NOT EAT THE CAT dellort: This mod is pretty cool, just wish the devs would fix the bug that allows MIKE to play on it.

I want to re-learn how to play TF2 because I have such horrible habits with the default key configuration. A medic on a plat team I was on used to use ASDF as attack1, left, backwards, right, GH for jump and crouch, mouse1 for forward. You want to play as dumb as that? Have fun. Alternately, try grabbing a 360 pad and trying to jump.

Rocketeer Posts: 301 i love you	jesus fuck that sounds atrocious I mean something different from default that a large number of people actually use. Slight changes like ESDF or switching crouch from CTRL to C and other things like that. --------------------------- klanana: I DID NOT EAT THE CAT dellort: This mod is pretty cool, just wish the devs would fix the bug that allows MIKE to play on it.
