what do you use for your jump button?

Flare123 · 24th Jul 2001, 09:03 AM

im having trouble playing UT here. im most comfortable with using my right mouse button for jump and my left mouse button for primary fire. but then i cant use secondary fire. until i get a 3 button mouse and those are hard to find I got 2 choices. ditch the secondary fire or use a button on my keyboard.

This shouldnt be a question, but its kinda akward and hard having to reach over and hit the jump button on my keyboard. I gotta keep my hands on the moving keys and the mouse for aiming and looking around.

the big question is what would be the best button for jump? what do all you 2 button mice people use?

JJaX · 24th Jul 2001, 09:09 AM

I have a two button mouse.

i use my arrow keys to walk back, strafe left strafe right and UP is JUMp.

My right click Runs foward.

While my left hand is contrlling my movement i can slide my pinky to hit control for my secondary fire.
I can also use shift to duck.

And with my left hand i can also easily access my : insert, delete, home, end, page up etc keys for weapon bindings. Also have mouse scroll which i really dont use :P

Also on my left hand my thumb can hit the '0' key on the numpad to switch to my X-LOC when i play ctf.
As you can see my left hand does most the work...

BTW:Invert Mouse!!!!!!

I use a four-button mouse, and my controls are:

Left mouse Button: Primary Fire
Right Mouse Button: Secondary Fire
Middle Mouse Button: Translocator
WASD: Movement
Spacebar: Jump
Control: Crouch
Side Mouse Button: It's a secret!

Try switching around the Secondary Fire on your keyboard until you find something comfortable. Don't EVER go without Secondary Fire. It's just plain suicidal (and stupid).

lunchblaze · 24th Jul 2001, 09:29 AM

if you're using a keyboard with your left hand, the standard is

w - forward
a- left
s-back
d- right

space bar - jump.

this seems pretty natural to me so you might want to try it.

i use a stick for movement, so i just hit - well, the jump button

out.

BulletRain · 24th Jul 2001, 09:33 AM

my keys..

left=strife left
right=strife right
up=walk a head
down=walk behind

left mouse= primary fire
right mouse = alternate fire

and right CTRL is my jump

_Zd_Ringi_ · 24th Jul 2001, 09:36 AM

I'm also a mouserunner

I use:

A,S,D -> leftstrafe,backpedal,rightstrafe
spacebar -> jump
shift -> crouch
alt-> instarocketz
F-> xloc

Boomslang:

leftmouse -> walk
rightmouse -> primary
Thumb -> secondary
scrollup -> switch Flak/RL
scrolldown -> switch ASMD/mini
scrollpush -> best weapon

-=WeeD=-Ramon · 24th Jul 2001, 09:38 AM

these ar pretty comfortable..

mouse:
right button:sec. fire
left button: prim fire
wheel/central button:rotate weaps

keyboard:
del: command/speech menu
right shift:jump
right ctrl: crouch

i think thats all

ooops cursors=movement

Flare123 · 24th Jul 2001, 10:07 AM

ok ill try those, thanks

JJaX · 24th Jul 2001, 10:23 AM

Remember, Dont use someones controls just because they are good with them. Jsut sit down one day and fig out what buttons you need easy access to and the most efficient way to get to em. Took me a good week to fine tune my controls.

Flare123 · 24th Jul 2001, 10:26 AM

yeah I know, ill just try all those and see which one is best, if none of them are then ill try to figure out my own.

Same for me.

Phydeaux{RoA} · 24th Jul 2001, 11:13 AM

W = Forward
Q, Z = Strafe left (I use Mouselook for fine-tuned positioning and turning to go around corners and such)
E, C = Strafe Right
X = Backward
Left Ctrl = Crouch
Left Alt = Feign death/drop flag
Space bar = Jump

The reason I do this is for strafe-dodging. I can strafe-dodge in CTF LGI (135/35) forward or backward with great accuracy with this setup. It takes a little practice going backward, but can be handy when you have the flag (I don't suggest this, generally, for CTF-Lava Giant or CTF-Hydro Bases for obvious reasons).

DiZASTiX · 24th Jul 2001, 12:15 PM

I have a Optical mouse and i use
right mouse button: jump
left mouse button: fire
scroll button: senondary fire
scroll: to go through weapons

dEAdly_sIn · 24th Jul 2001, 01:57 PM

I use the following for movement:
E=Forward
D=Back
S=Strafe Left
F=Strafe Right
R=Jump
W=Duck
L.Mouse=Pri. Fire
R.Mouse=Sec.Fire
M.Mouse=Change weapons up
Scroll Down=Change weapons down
And yes, I have mouse look on, and No, I DON'T USE AUTOAIM
That's ~almost~ worse then usinga Proxy Bot.....

AA doesn't do anything for you in MP mode...

Doesn't it work in Half-Life? If not, then I killed some guy with a PB, not Auto Aim.....

Rev.Whoopass · 24th Jul 2001, 03:06 PM

w=jump

a=strafe left
d=strafe right
s=crouch
right mouse=forward
leftmouse=fire
middlemouse=alt
thumbmouse=backwards

DeaJae · 24th Jul 2001, 04:43 PM

heheh. i don't use buttons.... for i have a voice command set.... its about 90% accurate and slower and reconizes my breathing as 6 different commands. but it works for me.

Danny_Diplo · 24th Jul 2001, 06:26 PM

I'm sure everyone will be interested to know I use the middle-mouse button (wheel) for jump. Yep, thought so!
