Key Binding
Key binding is all about customizing your keys from the standard control
setup that comes with the game. Assigning buttons differently to output a statement,
voice command, or a mapping command can make a much more personalized setup and has
many advantages, both with online gaming and also in map debugging. If you've ever
played online and seen players write messages in different colors and type
complex statements quickly, or heard voice messages that arn't included in the
standard voice command menus, they have been done with key binding.
This tutorial will show you 4 examples of how to script key binds with the ingame
console while offline. Follow these instructions:
- Run your RTCW multiplayer game.
- Select create server option on main multiplayer menu.
- Choose the Depot map and wait for it to load.
- Now press the ~ tilde button located directly below the esc key on your
keyboard and the console will appear. The next examples show different
key binds.
Example 1: A voice message
- Type this in your console. \bind f1 "vsay_team incoming"
- Press enter and close the console returning you to the map.
- Press the F1 key on your keyboard and you will hear [incoming] spoken
and printed as a text message on screen.

Example 2: A text message
- Type this in your console. \bind f2 "say_team through the wharehouse"

[through the wharehouse] printed on screen as in pic 2.

Example 3: A voice and text message combined
- Type this in your console.
\bind f3 "vsay_team incoming; say_team Through the wharehouse"
- Press enter and close the console returning you to the map.

[through the wharehouse] printed on screen as in pic 3.

Example 4: Giving your text colours
- Type this in your console.
\bind f4 say_team "^1 incoming through the wharehouse"
- the symbol ^ allows you to choose a colour. The number 1 selects the colour red.
After you select your color by putting in the relevant number the ^ symbol disappears, don't worry this is supposed to happen.
Now when you start typing your text it will be written in the color of your choice.
In this example it is the colour red.
