Great Job! - I don't have a PB yet (I'm 80% there), but I downloaded & will save for future use!

Thanks!

5 stars for both of you!

How do I remove a bind from my keyboard? The one I have is the one listed at the beginning of this thread, and I hate it!

Nevermind I got it, If anyone else needs to do so, go to menu ...options...reset keybinds

my key choices for Gnarly's Speed On Demand (SOD) and some related keys:

forward, left, back, right = e,s,d,f so I can keep my hands on the typing home keys

autorun, follow = ctrl+e, ctrl+f never bind these to regular keys, that leads to me accidentally running into dangeerous gangs.

reset = space I use reset a lot. I use it as my break out of autrun. Using it a lot keeps SOD from breaking so much.

up, down = r,v
fly, run = t, b
switch modes (normal / SOD) = w

target_enemy_near = a
target_enemy_next = ctrl+a
target_friend_next= shift+a and I bind a mouse button to Shift+a
powexec_abort = z

Lots of pages and Me(being a /bind noob) and sooo confused.

I am just trying to make/find a bind to do the following things:
When I turn on a "Fly" binds I get the ability to move with fly and hover when I dont move(essentially the up,down,w,s,and strafe keys) I found a couple of the files people taled about in this thread (Wasabi,etc.) but they are MUCH more complex than I was looking for, however whenever i experiment and try and make my own i get either locked, or no results.

Are there any simple binds or files to do this?

At the request of Tanick, I uploaded the original .exe of Gnarly's SoD 3.0. You can find it here.

Is that link supposed to be a mis-formated link to some weird [censored] video?

I'm glad another site has both versions of the SoD file. Good job finding it.

Is there currently an effort to convert the binds to the new powexec_toggleon commands?

I've been using SoD since issue1 and find it very helpful on all my toons. I just think powexec_toggleon could help the few quirks it has.


 

Posted

I believe that someone was working on that, but nothing final was ever posted.

Just in case anyone was wondering, the SoD seems to work fine with the suppression changes made (at least the way I use them).

Can anyone post another link, or maybe just e-mail me, the SoD binds? The link that I found reading through the thread is dead. I'd really like to use this.


 

Posted

If the link in the above post doesn't work, send me a PM with your e-mail address & I will send you the 2.7 version of the file.

Have fun.

Thanks. Wonderful info.


 

Posted

By the way, I am wondering if this has been modified to work with holding down both mouse keys to move forward or is that possible?


 

Posted

I haven't read all of the reviews on this so I dont know if anyone else asked this.

Now I don't really get binds and I dont know how to set this myself or I might not understand completely so it might already do this. How would you set this so that it works with (I dont know if it has a special name) the up,down,left,and right keys?

Pulled these from another thread and highlighted the names of the arrows for you.

Good Luck

Keep in mind that the left & right (arrow) keys are not actually movement keys, the are turn keys (as in left turn & right turn)

When using Gnarly's SoD it will ask you to which key do you want to use for forward - type in "up" without the quotes
backward - "down" without the quotes

I personally left the left & right movement keys to be "a" & "d" the default keys - (these are used for straifing), but you can change them to which ever ones you want them to be.

Have fun

Good point MrEman,

Since I have long since binded over my turn keys I didn't even think of that. Mouse look is so much more efficient.

The Best Hover/Fly /bind EVER!!!
<WHAT>
Action: With Sprint enabled press q
Result: Char will enter Hover mode and disable Sprint
Action: Press+Hold ANY direction key
Result: Char will enter Fly mode in the direction chosen
Action: Release previous key
Result: Char will return to Hover mode
Action: Press q
Result: Char will drop to ground with Sprint enabled


<WHY>
PRO
Single key to start/end Flight
Minimal Endurance usage
Quick recovery from Flight ‘Knockdowns’
Autorun+Space allows for better viewing of terrain
(pans slightly down)

CON
Combinations of direction keys toggles Hover/Fly during Flight
Very slight initial Flight delay due to load/un-load of .txt files

As a Blaster I would make many small adjustments to position
in order to use Cone Attacks. Toggling between Hover/Flight
was tedious and often I would not fight in Hover mode
(losing Defensive Buff) to avoid it. Furthermore, I would lose
Endurance by not remembering (during intense fights) to
Toggle. With this structure, and Reduce Endurance
enhancements, I’m able to quickly change position with
minimal Endurance loss.


<HOW>
1.Copy/Paste Code into three different .txt files
2.Edit/Save .txt files onto your CoH gaming computer
(edit <dir> to preferred location)
3.Enter CoH and type /bind_load_file <dir>\powers.txt

FILE: powers.txt
q "powexec_name sprint$$powexec_name hover$$bind_load_file <dir>\flight1.txt"

FILE: flight1.txt
q "powexec_name sprint$$powexec_name hover$$bind_load_file <dir>\flight2.txt"
w "+forward$$powexec_name hover$$powexec_name fly"
a "+left$$powexec_name hover$$powexec_name fly"
d "+right$$powexec_name hover$$powexec_name fly"
s "+backward$$powexec_name hover$$powexec_name fly"
space "+up$$powexec_name hover$$powexec_name fly"
lshift+space "+down$$powexec_name hover$$powexec_name fly"

FILE: flight2.txt
q "powexec_name sprint$$powexec_name hover$$bind_load_file <dir>\flight1.txt"
w "+forward"
a "+left"
d "+right"
s "+backward"
space "+up"

can someone help me with this?

i have no idea how to set this up. instead of using q to activate hover, i want to use 9, so what do i change??

also i'm confused about the <dir> part. so if my .txt files are located in C:\Program Files\City of Heroes\binds, in the .txt do i put <C:\Program Files\City of Heroes\binds> or just C:\Program Files\City of Heroes\binds??

and also, i NEVER have sprint on, so i dont want to have sprint on to be able to use this bind, and i dont want sprint to activate when i turn off hover.

i know these may seem like retarded questions, but i AM retarded (at least with the computer). if someone can tell me exactly what to do, that'd be great.

help please?

The original post from this forum is not the speed on demand that actually works. See the above post by StaticDrifter for the link to the Gnarly's Speed on Demand binds.

The program sets up a series of binds that does a number of things:

If you are on the ground - when you are standing still sprint is not activated, but as soon as you hit a movement key sprint is automatically activated. Releasing the movement key turns off sprint.

If you are in the air not moving you are hover mode, but as soon as you hit a movement key you automatically switch to fly mode. Releasing the movement key switches you back to hover mode.

The movement keys can be bound to what ever keys you currently use. My personal layout for my flyers is:

rcontrol: puts me into fly mode
rshift: put me into ground mode
up (the up arrow): moves forward
down (the down arrow): moves backward
a: moves left
b: moves right
left (the left arrow): turns left
right (the right arrow): turns right
f: follow mode
r: auto run or auto fly
numpad0: downward movement (for fly)
spacebar: upward movement (for fly) & jump (for ground mode)
control+M: for mode switching
control+r: to reset the binds (if the binds get messed up or you find yourself in continuous movement, pressing control+r sets you straight)

Here is a copy of the link from the above post. If for some reason it doesn't work, you can send me a PM with your e-mail address - I have the 2.7 version of the binds I can send you (it doesn't have as many options as the 3.0 version, but they work fine).

Here's the link from which I downloaded Gnarly's SoD bind:

Nilt's City of Heroes Resources

Hope this works

[/ QUOTE ]

Also, you should create a directory on your computer for all of your binds. I use c:\cohbinds - when using the bind_load command, it doesn't like long directory names like the default c:\program files\city of heroes\binds (it will come back with an error message saying (I think) too many arguments.

I hope this helps.
