alias +zoom "fov 30;sensitivity 5"
alias -zoom "fov 90;sensitivity 10"
bind mouse2 +zoom

i like this setup better:

Code: [Select]

alias zoom0 "crosshair 1;fov 120;sensitivity 20;bind mwheelup zoom1"
alias zoom1 "crosshair 2;fov 70;sensitivity 10;bind mwheelup zoom2;bind mwheeldown zoom0"
alias zoom2 "fov 50;sensitivity 8;bind mwheelup zoom3;bind mwheeldown zoom1"
alias zoom3 "fov 30;sensitivity 6;bind mwheelup zoom4;bind mwheeldown zoom2"
alias zoom4 "fov 10;sensitivity 4;bind mwheeldown zoom3"

but thats just me...

God, we get a thread like this every few months. We need a sticky to answer questions like this, or at least point people to where they can get an answer.

Zorchenhimer · « **Reply #9 on:** October 16, 2006, 09:03:00 PM »

aren't those called FAQ's?

Eiii · « **Reply #10 on:** October 16, 2006, 10:14:20 PM »

Not on forums. Though, yes, the questons are frequently asked.

P!nk · « **Reply #11 on:** October 16, 2006, 10:25:59 PM »

We could revive this thread and request more Q/A's, then have another one locked/stickied for all of them.

Yeah, and maybe a list of a bunch of commands for the cosole as well, maybe within the zipped game file

Zorch, if you search the forums for "spydies crosshair pack" you will find one that looks like a sniper scope. Might be cool for your zoom bind.

toM|vendettA · « **Reply #15 on:** October 18, 2006, 08:33:12 AM »

Yeah, it'll look cool, but thats about it. Most of the time when you zoom in it is cause someone is far away, when you want to shoot far away you have to aim higher to hit players, which means that the scope is basically pointless. Not to mention the fact that the scope takes up half the screen.

my roomate played around with the chrosshairs, it looked neat... but thats about it. thanks anyway.

Code: [Select]

alias zoom0 "fov 120; bind f zoom1"
alias zoom1 "fov 70; bind f zoom2"
alias zoom2 "fov 50; bind f zoom0"

Thats mine, going into fov 30 and 10 seems stupid because the enemy would be out of screen for you to hit them.

Zorchenhimer · « **Reply #18 on:** October 20, 2006, 08:33:06 AM »

30 and 10 for strategical reasons. not to kill him from across the map.

Hm...now it all makes sense! I wondered how people were pulling off some of those shots.
