A little something for online games...

You know, I found that since you guys have your own buttons to get all the goods. we still have noobs on the server and some people would like to not have so much room taken. so... how about you guys come up with something like an auto-keybinder. for online games. it displays what buttons are bound to each temporary key. for a little more effort you could have it search for non-binded keys and make those bound. also same for if all keys are taken. it uses the 5 least used buttons.

and then you end up having to use the key that is physicaly unreachable by your left hand without having to stop moving. Not really a good idea.

nighthawk,thats for thoose who dont have chaos key's set,not for thoose goddy goddy's who dl the mod first and properly set the keys

becouse setting the keys to be auto near used keys would very possibly overlap controls,a bit of a problem created in that case

well basically for noobs and for unbound guys yes. like a small screen shows what keys are bound. it last's for like 3.2 secs before disappearing. would make for a greater online compatability. also so that someone can always return to this keybinding thing you could have pause for online games be a little shortcut to the bound keys thing. they have to press pause again to get it off. and for offline games have tab or something be the little shortcut button. and that is displayed in small lettering in like the bottom right corner, above the hud. like "press 'pause' for bound chaos keys" or something. also it does not display when players have bound keys already.

Well thats not a bad idea. I have seen other games turn on such newbie stuff (like tool tips in BF1942). However we would have to think about howto and if it makes sense to add. Then when to add it...
