BF2S Forums How to bind an 'Enemy Spotted' button

Sorry for the bump of an old thread, but.


3) Open the controls.con file linked with your username (with notepad) and use search to find the 2 lines with c_GIRadioComm in them.

You say there's 2 lines with c_GIRadioComm in them. When I search my controls.con, I can only find this one

4) Highlight the whole of the second line ONLY and press copy.

What do you mean by the 'second line' ?

6) Immediately below the c_GIOk line, make a space and paste in the line you copied from step 4.

Same question as step 4...what line?

8) Save. Done, fire up and go test it!!

Done, but when I enter the came I cannot use my left mouse button (cant click anywhere)



Sorry for the bump .

ok, i'd like to ask: what keys make sense for a double-bind?

for example, i have jump and parachute bound to the spacebar in BF2.  +karma from me to anyone who comes up with a leet double-bind, that is, a double-bind that makes sense.

remember, you must have a smart double-bind solution and i will reward you with +karma.  conversely, suggesting a retarded bind of jump and prone will result in -karma.

submit your double-binds for +karma now!

eject and parachute. now, when you eject from a jet, you can quickly throw out the parachute.

tupla_s +1 karma (excellent bind btw: jump + parachute)
samfink +1 karma, thx for your suggestion!

you all know u do

Not very useful. Just bind your chute to something like T or G. That way you're not falling to the ground for 3 minutes giving everyone plenty of time to see where you fall. +1 for HALO jumping. That's the only way!

that would suck if you lost control at 1500 feet....half an hour later you hit the ground...

its all about the HALO jumping, high altitude low opening

actually, you need to press it twice, if what i have seen in the demo of 2142 is true.nevertheless, wouldn't you rather spend half an hour drifting down ( it is possible to speed it up by using a steep turn, BTW) or break the sound barrier and look at -2 points 9 for suicide) and 15 secs of re-swan time ( or worse, if you have just had several jet whores force-TK you, then posisble break the sound barrier and get auto-kicked for negative score. that would REALLY hurt, wouldn't it?)

Meh, the parachute always deploys for me now. Its only when I'm too close to buildings that it wont deploy, when I bail from a jet or helo it works everytime.

HALO ftw

Good idea, but I have it bound to an extra mouse button anyway. Yay for 5-button mice.

However, for medics and engineers, a good double-bind would be the end weapon button and prone. A swift double-tap and you're ready.

For drivers, possibly an 'exit' and 'sprint' double-bind, for when you're on fire or under fire and need out fast.
Although most of you probably just double-tap the movement keys, HL2 gave me the reflex urge to use the keypad 0 for that. (And yes, I use the arrow keys for movement. Easier to find in a hurry than WASD, has buttons nearby for actions.)

EDIT:
For all you joystick people, not got enough buttons for a secondary spot key? Cheapskates.

I would like to set this up on my joystick but I am having the same problem as Silver.  Also there is no c_GIOk line in my controls.con file.  Any help would be much appreciated!

Having played a bit more, I think a good double-bind/macro would be 'need ammo', 'need medic', and 'need backup'.
Because, frankly, I find myself needing all three at once.

Also a 'main weapon' and 'prone' bind, just in case you get discovered while handing out ammo, health, or repairs.

there must be a c_GIOk line or your mouse wouldnt work, try using the search, its buried half way down the page.

if theres no c_GIRadioComm line there how do you use your commo rose to say things ingame? it wouldnt work either, if youve never had one, bind and save it in bf2 options and you will have both a way to send messages and it will add your first line.


right, if you get all that found then assign the button as per instructions but still find just one c_GIRadioComm line that means it hasnt saved it for whatever reason, maybe bf2 is not picking up your joybutton clicks or maybe you just forgot to press save in the options screen?

if you know 1) what controller number and 2) what key number it is then you can add the line yourself. 

ControlMap.addButtonToTriggerMapping c_GIOk IDFGameController_0 IDButton_10 0 1

thats my line to put it on my first joystick (controller_0) on button 11 (dice numbers the buttons from 0 btw) just dont miss out the 0 1 at the end.  Btw this is to add in as your SECOND c_GIOk line, it wont work as the only line.
