It's been bugging me since UT hit my hard disk. I wanted to know is one-key dodging possible. So, I tried some various combinations and nothing worked. By that time I learned & mastered "natural" dodging (tap-tap) and I forgot about that one-key stuff. Then it just come to my mind, I tried and it worked!
So, is it posible to do one-key dodging in UT? Well, all I can say is yes and no
You can't bind (or alias or script...) one-key dodging to be performed with your keyboard (as far as I know) BUT you can make a macro and can perform that one-key dodging with your mouse.
How did I do it? Well let's say that I used some "driver overdrive"
First, you need to have USB mouse with additional buttons. I have IntelliMouse Optical and it works just fine with it. Then go to Razer site www.razerzone.com and download latest drivers for Boomslang and instal that mouse drivers. You need to be sure that you instaled drivers corectly. View the readme.txt for that. So, after you instaled Razer drivers (you need to see Karna USB mouse in Settings--> Control Panel--> Mouse --> Hardware). Dont't get scared when system tells you that these drivers are not for your mouse, everything will be OK (atleast, it was OK on my system ). After you instaled it corectly fire up Razer configuration program in tray. Than just made a macro with it; example - for button 4 (thumb button) press twice you left strafe key and for button 5 (small finger button) press twice your right strafe key. Apply changes and start UT to see if it works. When you hit button 4 you dodge left and whe you hit button 5 you dodge right. If it doesn't work, use some more h4x0rZ skills and try again, it must work
So, after that "quest for the holy grail" do I use that one-key dodging? Well, no. No because I can dodge regulary like a madman now and I don't need that; I'm so accustomed with my commands and I don't want to change them. But when I was a n00bie I would surely liked that one-key dodging Try it if you want, if your dodging sux you may do better with that macro.
I just wanted to write this because I taught (and maybe many of you ) that one-key dodging is some kind of divine intervention but actualy it isn't. If you know how to dodge, then that one-key dodging doesn't mean jack So, no I can go to sleep like a happy person and know that one-key dodging is possible I hope that you know what I mean cause my english is not so good
P.S. Sorry if you allready knew that.
