Counter-Strike Essentials

for that little extra out of your CS experience...

------------------------------------------------//

TO GET CONSOLE!

You need this to access half-life's engine. Create a shortcut of your 'hl.exe'. In the run field after "...hl.exe'" add these configurations so it looks like this -> "...hl.exe' -game cstrike -console". Add those and you should now have the console!!!

3/12/01 - Scripting!

Scripting - The method by which you can simplify purchasing of weapons and ammo etc. into simply pressing one button. So for instance if you wanted to bind a key to buy the M4A1 and full ammo and armour you would input the following code in the console:

bind q "buy; menuselect 4; menuselect 3; buy; menuselect 6; buy; menuselect 8; menuselect 2;"

bind ? - '?' can take the value of any key except 0-9.

buy; - Is the function used to purchase items.

menuselect ?; - Is the function used to navigate through the menu to the item you want.

This bind however will only last as long as you dont quit counter-strike. In order for this bind to last contact Me, and I will write the script for you and give you the necessary files for this bind to always work. Basically it involves creating a autoexec.cfg file and modifying another file, key bind cfg file, so that the bind always remains active. This involves turing the bind into an 'alias'.

3/12/01 - Types of recoil!

There are two types of recoil in CS for all weapons. These are horizontal recoil and vertical recoil. Horizontal recoil can go left and right. Vertical recoil can ONLY go up! Both are assigned differently for each weapon, and the offset for the more accurate weapons is usually hit power. Nuff' said. How does this help you though? It helps you by becoming more accustomed to your favourite weapon. Take the AK for example :D. This weapon has little horizontal recoil but a fair bit of vertical recoil. Here is the best part. By impulse you tend to aim the gun at the enemy's head, who doesn't, but with recoil you can tend to miss by a foot or two. So by aiming LOWER than required, in my experience I would say aim about at the casualties neck at close range (5- 10 Metres), and aim for there knees at long range (20-100 Metres). Try this methods and watch those frag's rack up!!
