I will accept no visual sounds unless they appear in brightly colored, pointy starburst shapes!

Wrote a guide.

A purely insignifigant, redundant and surely inaccurate guide to Dark Melee, but there it is, for your lulzing pleasure.

Yeah I do that too, to bind a toggled travel power to my wasd keys.

One question for you - Whenever I make such a toggle, I always start out binding only one command and then edit the rest in after the icon appears, mostly because every toggle key bind requires quotes and I'm not sure if all that could be typed out in the chat interface after the /macro command without major errors. Is that how you do it?

Code:

/bind up "bind lbutton "powexec_name Teleport""
/bind down "bind lbutton """

I'm not sure those would work, JonahY. As I understand it, you would need to create a bind file if you want to load binds with key presses.

No, actually you can. I use it on my superjumper with a toggle key'd spacebar. I first used bound the home key as follows:

<font class="small">Code:[/color]<hr /><pre>/bind home bind space"+up$$powexec_name combat jumping$$powexec_name super jump"</pre><hr />

Then I bound lshift+home as follows:

<font class="small">Code:[/color]<hr /><pre>/bind lshift+home bind space +up
</pre><hr />

So I can turn it off in door missions. (especially caves)

Believe it or not, it works.

However, what you can't do is bind a key to bind another key to multiple commands, because the code will not understand two sets of quotes. So this:

<font class="small">Code:[/color]<hr /><pre>/bind home "bind space "+up$$powexec_name combat
jumping$$powexec_name super jump"$$say Super Jump mode enabled!"</pre><hr />

...won't work because once the game engine gets to the second set of quotes after space it will immediately consider "bind space " a single command string and output an error message.

Hey! This is a very nice guide! Well done, and much needed!

Yes, thanks so much for writing this! I've been contemplating pvp recently, and found this really encouraging and informative.
