What are your TF2 customizations?

[b4k3d b34nz]

So TF2 gives a lot of different ways to personalize your setup. I'm curious to see what you all have done to make the game more comfortable, easier to play, funny, etc. Obviously there are plenty of cool skins out there; what I really want to know is if you have special binds or settings that make you 1337

My setup:

Class Usage:
In order of time played: Demoman, Medic, Engineer, Scout, Spy, Soldier, Sniper, Heavy, Pyro

Binds:

• I have an engi bind for 1-click builds instead of hunting through the menu.
• I have a spy bind for quick disguising and team switching (0-9 on numpad)
• Automatic crouch jump
• Class-specific mouse sensitivity (especially helpful for the sniper). Specifically zoom_sensitivity_ratio "0.6" under INSTALL PATH\team fortress 2\tf\tfg\sniper.cfg. Very nice.
• I also have a mouse button bound to switch from the current weapon to the melee weapon while held down, and then back to the previous weapon when released. It's good for a quick bottle of whisky upside Masterpiece's head.

Settings:

• I have multicore support enabled. This has bumped my FPS up a decent bit during heavy fighting
• I have a giant green crosshair--otherwise, i tend to start shooting to one side over time :thumbdown:
• Most people use WASD. I shifted to the right and use ESDF so that I have more hotkeys available (Q, A, Z, and X are available for hotkeys when you do that)
• Fast weapon switch is on
• 90 degree field of vision
• Lowest value for the viewmodel
• Sniper rifle auto-rezooms
• My "pwn eGO Advisors" option is checked

 

[DisastaMasta]

My "pwn eGO Advisors" option is checked

Hahaha, Funny stuff. I don't have that option.

 

[Xzero]

All my keyboard settings are on default, except the communication ones.

I use 'Enter' for all-chat, and the ' for team chat. For voice, I press V since I will still be able to maneuver around while talking. (Using the WASD keys).

As for video settings, they are all on low. That's the only way I can play TF2, with all video options to the bare minimum. Otherwise my computer cannot run it to an adequate level so I can play properly. Even with the lowest options, I average about 20-30 FPS.

 

[Thereven]

Hahaha, Funny stuff. I don't have that option.

It's under the video, advanced, even more advanced, special eGO settings menu.

There's also options for "automatically mute microphone when you're about to cuss" and "kill Thereven whenever he steps outside his base."
I think that second option is set to "on" by default for everyone.

 

[lillGIL]

I'm honestly all default except for the fast weapon change..... I'm way to lazy to tinker around and find settings to make myself better

 

[!Woodstock!]

Keyboard - Default, except for voice chat which is on mouse4.
Video - everything all the way up. Multi-core on.
Advanced - console enabled...durh.

[WaterSnake]

I have the dot crosshair set to the smallest setting


and 6 bound to "explode", because sometimes I'd rather die than be caught...

 

[s3rv0]

[*]most people use wasd. I shifted to the right and use esdf

You sir are blasphemer!

 

[VoiDeD]

I totally use the arrow keys.

But then again, I'ma lefty, so my keys are totally strange to anyone.

For those of you who are wondering:

Some of those keys are game specific, but most can be applied to anything.

 

[Vandall]

Where's the button for hax VoiDeD?

 

[The Tiamat]

My keyboard is default, and as for video I have everything up to the max, no AA and multicore enabled.

 

[b4k3d b34nz]

You sir are blasphemer!

Yeah, even more blasphemous is that I'm actually on a dvorak keyboard, so it's actually ".OEU" not "ESDF". Enjoy that for a brain-bender

 

[wwwhat]

You can sprint in TF2? Wow, gotta use that when running from pyros!

I think you'd have better luck with "swim down."

That makes my head hurt just thinking about it. :facewall: Wow

 

[Cut Chem!st]

I have everything maxed, and the only thing I can think of thats different is I have two keys binded to jump (one in options, other in console) one is for space to stay on top of water, other to mousewheel down to bhop.

 

[mudkiller]

er.. i have the console on!

 

[Adam]

Other than admin stuff, my config isn't too complex. Quick switch and reload are on the side of my mouse.

 

[FreakingHell]

I use default, except reload being my mouse4 button.
