I've modified my q3config.cfg file, and the first time I load the game after the edit, they work all fine.

However if I close the game/restart my computer (not sure which one is the factor), they stop working. The configuration file is still the way I left it so... What's wrong?

By the way, some commands keep working, for example, pressing X on my keyboard switches to knife, and H opens the console, but the numbers above the keyboard won't work anymore (I want to use them for radio binds).

Any help is appreciated!

hm.
might be that you did something like IN CONSOLE, if put into a cfg this does not apply.
[code]
bind X "vstr troll";
settroll "say ima troll";
[\code]
the fact that you used set will tell the game NOT to save the cvar into your q3config.
this is usefull when you got many of such cvars and dont want to spam your q3config, so you put them all into a different cfg file and exec it (either via console or autoexec.cfg)
Alternatively you could use seta.


btw. dont mod your q3config (except for ingame settings)
i'd do all other binds into a different cfg

but somehow i think that this is not your problem here :)
still trying ro manually exec your q3config (exec q3config) might be worth a try.

i also could imagine that your keyboard layout was changed......

Hi Iye, thanks for the reply.

My layout has not been changed, I think, but I can say that when I have a clean UrT installation, the numbers over my letters (not numpad) will work except the number 1 for the knife. Since I don't use the other ones anyway, I decided to use them for radio commands, but it only works the first time (sometimes) and then it stops...

I bind them by writing (some examples)

bind 1 "ut_radio 3 3 MEDIC!"
bind 2 "ut_radio 1 1 Got it!"
bind 3 "ut_radio 1 2 Nope!"

But also, why the autoexec file is not... autoexecuting? :P

Maybe you have to rename it from autoexec_example.cfg to autoexec.cfg

[Mod Iye]

yeah in 4.2 there is no autoexec created by default.
you could just create one (a simple .txt file renamed to .cfg)

Hi Obscure, yes I did rename it and that's also why I'm kind of confused. :( By the way, I exclude a problem concerning the extension, since it's correctly categorized as "configuration file" and not just a plain text file.

I have some news: I tried using the radio normally with no particular reason behind it... Well, when I press U I get the radio window, but pressing the numbers won't work! I think that's why.

The cfg is correct, Urban Terror is not recognizing my keyboard correctly somehow. What can I do? Anyone had this problem before?

[Mod Iye]

hm. now thats a mac problem. cant help you there :)

you could try binding the hex values of the keys

Tried out some stuff with that some time ago IN 4.1 (dont see a reason why this should not work in 4.2)
I think i even have a list of all hex values somewhere, but here are the number keys:

bind 0x31 "echo Key1;"; //Numberkey '1';
bind 0x32 "echo Key2;"; 
bind 0x33 "echo Key3;";
bind 0x34 "echo Key4;";
bind 0x35 "echo Key5;";

so binding your stuff to these wont fix your radio menu, but the keys might work for normal gameplay.

Tested on Windows though....

When you set your binds over the controls menu will they get correctly displayed?

Well, everything except the "W", on the controls it says "Z". So I think Urt sees my layout as QZERTY and not QWERTY. I say UrT because the W is a W when I type.

By the way, I had thought that it could be a problem of recognizing keys, so I tried changing my input layout to UK, US, and International US but no luck... I don't know what to do now.
