Kinetic Melee Binds question
The ingame blurbs for Kinetic Melee seem to actually call the set Kinetic Attack. Maybe that'll help?

@Wavicle, mostly on the Justice server.
Are you using quotes?
/bind x "powexecname Smashing Blow"
...for example, should work fine.
attempting to use the actual names of the power (sans spaces, yes) results in absolutely no response.

For example...
/bind KEY "powexecname Quick_Strike"
and
/bind KEY "powexecname Quick Strike"
..should both work.
That's incorrect , actually. The game does not read underscores and spaces the same. In fact, the game doesn't read underscores at all. So, this
/bind KEY "powexecname Quick_Strike"
is equivalent to this:
/bind KEY "powexecname QuickStrike"
and is NOT equivalent to this:
/bind KEY "powexecname Quick Strike"
It's the last one that the OP needs to use. Use the space. Do not use underscores. The main value of underscores in binding is to make long bind commands easier for you to see
(e.g. pow_exec_name is the same as powexecname)

You're wrong. Try it and see. I just bound a key to "powexecname Proton_Volley" and it worked perfectly well.

The game does NOT read spaces and underscores as the same thing. But it DOES recognize names with underscores instead of spaces.
I just went into game on my WP brute and typed "/powexecname mind_over_body" and MOB turned off. Then I typed "/powexecname mind_over body" and it did nothing.
In other words "mind_over_body" is an alias for "mind over body". The parser doesn't prune the underscores in power names, nor does it convert them to spaces.

You are correct in your general statement that the game does not read underscores and spaces the same, but it depends where you are using them.
For example, using powexecname is the same as powexec_name, not powexec name... but in the case of names of powers and inspirations, you can use either underscores or spaces in the name.
Come on Justaris.. I tested it before I posted to begin with... just to make sure.

Good to know. I'm of course more familiar with the use of underscores in binds and I just assumed they'd work the same way across the board. Obviously, I was mistaken in that assumption. Thanks for the correction.

To summarize, leave the spaces in. I have a prestige sprint power bound to alt+r. I typed the bind as:
/bind alt+r powexecname prestige power dash
It works fine.

Does anybody know what names Kinetic Melee uses for the purposes of binds? I'd like to set some up, but just attempting to use the actual names of the power (sans spaces, yes) results in absolutely no response. If I use the same command with Brawl, Brawl goes off, so I'm not making that mistake either.
