Hello, if I do, Up + Left, I can't jump.
Is this normal?
Can I help it?

We discussed this in pub... but you wouldn't respond
The default to jump isn't Up, hit space...

Unless you mean you can't strafe jump, in which case check your controls.

If I put Up + Left + Space I can't jump

Well, check your binds/controls

But where do I have to look for??

y00tz · « **Reply #5 on:** May 11, 2007, 07:22:50 AM »

Well start by looking under Controls in the Setup menu and make sure everything is set right.
or type 'bindlist' in the console and check each key...

Bind your jump to mouse 2, some keyboards cant take 3 commands/Key press at once.

do you have a wireless keyboard?

i had a problem once where when i tried to strafe jump (such as speeding) in quake2, that as i tried to do so my character would just stop dead in its tracks, took that pos wireless keyboard back quickly...

bind "key" "+moveleft"
bind "key" "+forward"
bind "key" "+moveright"
bind "key" "+back"

It sounds to me like you are trying to strafe jump using just one key. I don't believe this would be possible so therfore you need to bind +left to one key and +moveup to another.

Heres the quake2 console commands, some of these may help you now and in the future:
http://console.planetquake.gamespy.com/tutorials/quake_2.html

A strafe jump double bind is not possible, but heres is an example from quake2 of a double bind, the way you set them up is the same in DP

Double Bind:
bind <key> "<command>;<command>"

for example:
bind w "+forward;wave"

You doesn't seems to know the problem
It's not binds or anything like that
I just want to jump forwardleft
I Need to use the keys Up + Left + Jump (Space)
If I do that it won't jump

but if I want to jump forwardright
I need to use the keys Up + Right + Jump (Space)
If i do that it will jump

Why doesn't it work going forwardright and why not forwardleft

kNoC · « **Reply #11 on:** May 11, 2007, 10:53:17 AM »

thats a good question, can you please answer my previous one, do you have a wireless keyboard?

Chevy · « **Reply #12 on:** May 11, 2007, 11:03:24 AM »

If I make the combination
Up + A + Jump (Space)
Then it will jump Forwardleft
Why not if the combination =
Up + Left + Jump (space)

Ofcourse i mean

It's your keyboard. My laptop has a similar issue. Keyboards are wired so you can only hit so many keys at a time. Sometimes it's just two, sometimes you can hit 4 or 5 at once, depending on which keys they are and how your keyboard circuitry is wired.

You have two options:
a) Get a different keyboard.
b) Bind a different set of keys for movement.

"a" wasn't an option on my laptop, so I just shifted all my binds over one key and they worked.

bind PGDN "Forward;Left"

Do this:

bind PGDN +forward;+moveleft

jitspoe · « **Reply #18 on:** May 11, 2007, 12:52:30 PM »

For that you'd have to do an alias, otherwise you will keep moving forward.

alias +forwardleft "+forward;+moveleft"
alias -forwardleft "-forward;-moveleft"
bind pgdn +forwardleft

{appy Hamper · « **Reply #19 on:** May 11, 2007, 01:49:27 PM »

Thanks for correcting, Jits. You need both the + and - commands otherwise you will keep moving forward and left.
