Client side Key Bindings

Hello, have a dedicated server running chaos mut everything works great. fired up a clean client... downloaded all chaos files from my redirect(took a while lol) everything on the client was fine (all weapons, vehicles, etc worked) except no Key Bindings for AWO and such... not even the defaults indicated in the online manual. E.g. 'H' key didn't work the grapple. Am i doing something wrong? Will the ini file with the Key Bindings on the server affect the clients? Or is there some way to push Key Bindings for clients that haven't actually installed chaos but instead downloaded it all from a redirect?

We recommend that a client have Chaos installed from an installation file (zip or umod) rather than downloading from a redirect. Second, make sure you have the Chaos mutator running. Grapple and such don't work without the Chaos mutator (which is loaded by default in a Chaos gametype, I believe).

potato,

not sure if thats possible on how you would activate the keybindings that way. Let me check around to see if there is a fix...

Mass is correct. But just to expand on that a bit: we do recommend installling mods first, before joining the game server, and you've just encountered one reason why. They will not get all the GUI stuff, which makes it tougher to bind your keys.

However, you can still do it the long way if you want. Just open your ChaosUT2User.ini and make the binds you want. This is a list taken from <a href="http://chaotic.beyondunreal.com/docs/configs_ut2004.php " target="_blank">configs page</a> of online manual (you can of course replace the keys with any of your choice):

Actions:
L=mutate UseBelt
M=mutate Kick
N=mutate SprayPaint
O=mutate Hook
P=changeammo
Q=ChaosWeaponOption
R=dropflag
S=changeammo
T=mutate HookUp
U=mutate DropRelic

Weapons:
a=getweapon ChaosUT.Vortex
b=getweapon ChaosUT.Crossbow
c=getweapon ChaosUT.CGL
d=getweapon ChaosUT.ERDW
e=getweapon ChaosUT.Cutter
f=getweapon ChaosUT.CUTRifle
g=getweapon ChaosUT.Claw
h=getweapon ChaosUT.CPP
i=getweapon ChaosUT.MUG
j=getweapon ChaosUT.CUTRocketLauncher
k=getweapon ChaosUT.TurretLauncher

I realize not everyone agrees on this issue, but I recommend not even allowing large mods to be redirected. For example, FurrySound used to do that on his server when it was the 'official' Chaos server, and he put the info about where to get the mod in his server message (not sure how Jb has it set up now).

Anyway, let us know if this helps or not. And thanks for playing.

Yeah...looks like flagg got it. I actually have my User.ini set up to cycle through binds for different mods with the press of some buttons, which helps so I don't have to restart UT every time I want to play something else on my server.
