How to make S2 enter TB-mode as soon as an enemy is seen

[Wicky]

Written By LoTeKK from Nival Forums:

 

open cfgconfig.cfg and find the line

 

setvar game_tbs_on_enemy_spot = 0.00

 

and change it to 1.00. No more hoovering over the enter-key and pressing it real fast so you get the first turn

That's what I wanted to hear... Thanks for the usefull info. I really hated that reflex crap, in fact I tought it was my main gripe with the game. Glad it can be fixed. 8)

Thanks ! Any other useful tips ? Some sort of "change this in the .cfg files" - Thread would be nice

[Wicky]

Hmmmmmmmmmmm

*smirks*

 

Well maybe some of you didn't know, that with hotkey B you can switch between the two weapon slots fast

it should already be in there! look in config.cfg I think. The default value is 0.00 set it to 1.00

Ok here is yet another one

 

If you're lazy to reach your hand over to the 'enter' key everytime and want to save some time, you can assign the keypad's enter key to the same function.

 

Open the input.cfg and look for the following two lines:

bind startofturn 'ENTER'

bind endofturn 'ENTER'

 

I added the following two lines, so it looked like that:

bind startofturn 'ENTER'

bind startofturn 'NUM_ENTER'

bind endofturn 'ENTER'

bind endofturn 'NUM_ENTER'

 

Now when I'm lazy, I just have to reach over to the keypad enter key with the thumb from the hand which resides on the mouse, that's really nifty hehe ! :wink:

Any ways to make the building walls trasparant like in ja2? now i have to rotate too often, makes me dizzy...

[Wicky]

Firebead: I noticed a shadowed outline of the own soldiers who were standing behind a wall in 32-bit color resolution. But unfortunately this feature is not there in 16-bit. Maybe Biggles can help, he wrote a nifty graphic configuration tool which can enable the outlines in 16-bit maybe, too.

[firebead]

wicky: i am using 32 bit color. the rest is set on medium level display quality. there is a green outline on selected soldier, but that outline is not visible behind walls.

[Wicky]

Uhm sorry Firebead, then I can't help.

 

But here's yet another one by LoTekK, who has posted this on the Nival forums:

 

Toggle tree crowns hotkey

bind switch_particles 'LCTRL' + 'K'

bind switch_particles 'RCTRL' + 'K'

 

Add the above lines to your input.cfg and you'll be able to toggle the foliage with ctrl-k (ie, without having to go through the options menu).
