Weapons

A | Load out information

Depending on how you load your character, you will be able to use a single or multiple items on our weapons. The "Attachments" are what you can use with the specific weapon: LS - Laser Sight and S - Silencer. Not all weapons can use these specialty items. For example, the sniper rifles cannot use the laser sight because of their ability to zoom. The Desert Eagle and the SR-8 are not able to use the silencer. Make sure you know which items will work with the weapons you choose.

You can choose up to three items, depending on how many weapons you have chosen to equip yourself with, and whether or not you have grenades.
The combinations of weapons, items and grenades are:


Note: you must carry a sidearm and knives.

Some items can be turned on and off. You can bind any key to turn items on and off in the controls (Miscellaneous) menu (Press escape, click controls, click the misc button, click on "use item" and then press the key you want to bind). You can also drop your gear and weapons, by binding the corresponding key by selecting and dropping the item. See the Controls & User Interface sections.

B | Weapon Specs

C | Weapon Key Assignments

Each weapon is assigned an identification number. Based on this number you could bind each weapon to a corresponding key. These weapon id numbers are more important when working with scripts. Here is a chart that will help clarify:

Weapon	ID#	Weap_mode 0	Weap_mode 1	Weap_mode 2
Ka-Bar Knife	1	Slash	-	-
Beretta 92FS	2	-	-	-
.50 Desert Eagle	3	-	-	-
SPAS 12	4	-	-	-
MP5K	5	Burst Mode	Full Auto	-
UMP45	6	Burst Mode	Full Auto	-
HK69	7	Short Range	Long Range	-
LR300ML	8	Burst Mode	Semi Auto	Full Auto
G36	9	Burst Mode	Semi Auto	Full Auto
PSG-1	10	-	-	-
HE Grenade	11	-	-	-
Smoke Grenade	12	-	-	-
SR8	13	-	-	-
AK-103	14	Burst Mode	Semi Auto	Full Auto
Negev LMG	15	-	-	-
Colt M4	16	Burst Mode	Semi Auto	Full Auto

Since gamers had issues in the past with their weapon modes, here is a simple fix to make sure they stay on the settings you designate.


Once that cvar is set you can manually modify the settings based on the chart above. An example of the cvar in your config will look like this:

seta weapmodes_save "01000111220000202"

There are 16 individual digits, either a 0, 1 or 2 that correspond to the weapon mode. In the example above, the first digit is a '0', that is the boover boots, do not change it. The second digit, a '1' is the knife, it will default to throw mode when you start, if you change it to a '0' in your config, then you will start with the knife in slash mode. The cvar above has the HK69 set to long range, the knife set to throw and all the weapons set to full automatic fire.

D | Binds & Scripts

There are a few different ways in which to approach weapon binds. For starters there is the standard Quake III Arena command "weapon" this command followed by the desired weapons ID# as listed in Section 7.3. For example lets say we want to select the SPAS 12, to do this we would use the below line:

bind [KEY] "weapon 4" // Selects SPAS 12

Now this can be taken a step further by creating a string of weapon commands. How this works is the game reads through the string. it will quickly select one weapon after another until it comes to the last valid command. This means that if you had both the SPAS 12 & the G36 and your string looked like:

bind [key] "weapon 4; weapon 9"

The G36 would be the final outcome, but if your script looked like this:

bind [key] "weapon 9; weapon 4"

You would end up with the SPAS 12, now what if all you got is the G36, no SPAS 12 at all...simple you would switch to the G36 since its the only one valid.
Okay now the better method that can be used in Urban Terror the command, "ut_weaptoggle" this can handle up to two arguments, which allow you to toggle between two different weapons, plus each argument covers a nice range of weapons. All this makes the "ut_weaptoggle" command much more flexible than the "weapon" command discussed prior.

Format examples:

bind x "ut_weaptoggle [argument]"
bind x "ut_weaptoggle [argument] [argument]"

Argument examples:


Weapons accessible with "ut_weaptoggle primary":


Weapons accessible with "ut_weaptoggle secondary":


Weapons accessible with "ut_weaptoggle grenade":


Weapons accessible with "ut_weaptoggle sidearm":


Now these can be used to switch between groups, example below:

bind [key] "ut_weaptoggle primary secondary"

Now it is worth noting that when you press the button you will first select the primary class weapon, and on the second press the secondary class weapon. Now, should you already have the primary class weapon selected (like when you spawn) it will then switch to the secondary class upon the key being pressed.

Also note that ut_weaptoggle grenade will cycle through all the available grenades in your inventory.
