Author Topic: Volume Script/Bind (Read 3463 times)

Is it possible to setup whether through a script or just commands some binds that will increase and decrease my DP volume? I have buttons on my keyboard but that control my overall volume, but I was wondering if I could make some volume binds for DP. Any help is appreciated, thanks.

pretty sure if you can find the volume command (if there is one) the script or bind would be easy. i have not heard or come across a volume command other than the toggle bar in the setup menu. i would like to know the command also.

Code: [Select]

bind "KEY" "volswitch"

alias "volswitch" "vol3"
alias "vol1" "s_volume 0.1; echo Volume Low; alias volswitch vol2"
alias "vol2" "s_volume 0.3; echo Volume Med-Low; alias volswitch vol3"
alias "vol3" "s_volume 0.5; echo Volume Medium; alias volswitch vol4"
alias "vol4" "s_volume 0.7; echo Volume Med-High; alias volswitch vol5"
alias "vol5" "s_volume 1.0; echo Volume High; alias volswitch vol1"

That should do it. Replace KEY with whatever key you want to toggle between volumes, and hit that to cycle through.

Its not a command, its a cvar.
s_volume

So yes its possible.

Eiii beat me to it but anyway...

Also, you dont have to create a whole script for something as simple as increasing/decreasing a cvar, use the cvar_inc and cvar_dec commands.

I didn't know what the command was. Thanks.

So how could I make a Increase and Decrease bind?

But those don't have min/max/wraparound capability, do they?
EDIT: Looks like they do. But you wouldn't be able to detect what level it was at...
I like my toggle more.

A-like-a this.

Code: [Select]

bind "KEY" "volup"
bind "KEY" "voldn"

alias "volup" "cvar_inc s_volume .1 0 1"
alias "voldn" "cvar_inc s_volume .1 0 1"

EDIT AGAIN: Here's an updated version of my previous script that allows for both a volume up key and a volume down key.

Code: [Select]

bind "KEY" "volup"
bind "KEY" "voldn"

alias "volup" "vol3"
alias "voldn" "vol2"
alias "vol1" "s_volume 0.1; echo Volume Low; alias volup vol2; alias voldn vol5"
alias "vol2" "s_volume 0.3; echo Volume Med-Low; alias volup vol3; alias voldn vol1"
alias "vol3" "s_volume 0.5; echo Volume Medium; alias volup vol4; alias voldn vol2"
alias "vol4" "s_volume 0.7; echo Volume Med-High; alias volup vol5; alias voldn vol3"
alias "vol5" "s_volume 1.0; echo Volume High; alias volup vol1; alias voldn vol4"

bind + cvar_inc s_volume 0.1 0 1
bind - cvar_dec s_volume 0.1 0 1

Not sure if that would work correctly tho but it should be something like that.

Again, eiii beat me to it...

DaRkNeSS · « **Reply #7 on:** December 27, 2007, 10:39:36 PM »

I'll test it out, thanks.

DaRkNeSS · « **Reply #8 on:** December 27, 2007, 10:42:00 PM »

Another quick question, what are the binds for the keypad 4 and 6?

DaRkNeSS · « **Reply #9 on:** December 27, 2007, 10:44:26 PM »

K, tested it, and the max won't stop at 1, it will just keep on going and cycling with either key.

Eiii · « **Reply #10 on:** December 27, 2007, 11:20:59 PM »

That's why you use my second script. And why you shouldn't double or triple post.

DaRkNeSS · « **Reply #11 on:** December 27, 2007, 11:32:15 PM »

Sorry Eiii, I'm really working on my Automag status.

EDIT: I used your 2nd script, and like Cobo's it will just cycle through, it won't stop on a max or min value.

Cobo · « **Reply #12 on:** December 27, 2007, 11:37:37 PM »

Ok try
bind + cvar_inc s_volume 0.1 0.0 1.0
bind - cvar_dec s_volume 0.1 0.0 1.0

DaRkNeSS · « **Reply #13 on:** December 27, 2007, 11:45:14 PM »

No mojo. It still cycled.

Eiii · « **Reply #14 on:** December 27, 2007, 11:55:40 PM »

Oh, you WANT it to stop? Sorry, I didn't understand. That's easy.

Code: [Select]

bind "KEY" "volup"
bind "KEY" "voldn"

alias "volup" "vol3"
alias "voldn" "vol2"
alias "vol1" "s_volume 0.1; echo Volume Low; alias volup vol2"
alias "vol2" "s_volume 0.3; echo Volume Med-Low; alias volup vol3; alias voldn vol1"
alias "vol3" "s_volume 0.5; echo Volume Medium; alias volup vol4; alias voldn vol2"
alias "vol4" "s_volume 0.7; echo Volume Med-High; alias volup vol5; alias voldn vol3"
alias "vol5" "s_volume 1.0; echo Volume High; alias voldn vol4"

Brilliant indeed Eiii. Thanks.

Hey Cobo I forgot what thread it was on when you mentioned a DP .exe you made with an irc client in it. Do you still have it?

Eiii · « **Reply #16 on:** December 28, 2007, 12:03:19 AM »

Darkness: If you used it, you would be banned for client modification.

DaRkNeSS · « **Reply #17 on:** December 28, 2007, 12:06:53 AM »

If I used it online.

Eiii · « **Reply #18 on:** December 28, 2007, 12:11:32 AM »

If you used it offline, you wouldn't be able to chat in IRC. And anyway, it's just one-channel console IRC. Not pretty or readable at all.

coLa · « **Reply #19 on:** December 28, 2007, 12:13:38 AM »

are you talking about being able to connect and chat on irc through DP? if so warsow also has this and i have used it a couple times. it's a neat feature.
