place them in the vendetta dir run do "load evaext.cfg" from game...
This aint special or nothing but should give n00bs an idea of what and how alias' and binds can be used...
[F7, F8, <, v] keys used...

(I DO *NOT* USE THIS PERSONALLY - i made it for the n00bs of TPi)

You know on your echo's you can say 'Eva Keys Activated' inside the " ".

Ooo... I didn't know you could load .cfg files.

This is fantastic. And helpful. And constructive.

Thanks.

/me hands Bus a gold star.

Excellent post/thread. That's what it's all about. Thanks!

Here's one I made last night... I posted it under a different thread but I'll copy it here too:

alias aim1 "set autoaim 0; bind 'key' aim2"
alias aim2 "set autoaim 1; bind 'key aim1"
bind 'key' aim1

This allows you to toggle autoaim (or any other command) when you hit the 'key'. Would be useful for traders using eff engines easier than typing +turbo each time.

/launch EVA
/launch Ragnarock
/load Pudding.ini
World Status: Orange Pudding

Tnks =)

/me loves orange pudding %D (and gold stars too, slappy ;)

(if you notice Eldrad you cant because echo also have to be inside the "" and will cause it to linebreak on spaces)

EDIT: btw - can someone point me to a "small" freeware perl interpreter for windows and mac (i need it to complete my scripts, for making it an installable independent package)

mac has perl built in (in v10+).

...speaking of macs, I tried to use the files you suggested; I put them in the same directory as the Vendetta application, *and* I put them inside the application bundle itself. Still, the "load eva_ext.cfg" didn't work. Am I doing something wrong?

the eva_ext.cfg and noeva.cfg should be placed in the vendetta dir itself. If the "/load eva_ext.cfg" doesn't work try using a full path to it (eg. c:\vendetta_dir\eva_ext.cfg) - if that works you will need to adjust these 2 lines in 'eva_ext.cfg' to use full paths for the load statements:

alias NoEvasive "load noeva.cfg ; echo Eva.Keys.Deactivated... ;"
alias LoadEVA "load evaext.cfg"

ps: i *really* dont know jack about mac, so i use windows as an example since most ppl know that...

EDIT(again =): tnks slappy didn't know... how about tail and wget - are there any equals for them?

Quote:
alias NoEvasive "load noeva.cfg ; echo Eva.Keys.Deactivated... ;"
alias LoadEVA "load evaext.cfg"

you can use apostraphes. I use them so I can use spaces.
it would look like this:
alias noEvasive "load noeva.cfg; echo 'Eva Keys Deactivated...'"

and it would show on screen Eva Keys Deactivated
otherwise if you use spaces it shows
Eva
Keys
Deactivated

and using the "."s doewsn't look right to me. here's my binding that utilizes it.

alias startup1 "echo '***Itani Flight Systems v3.2.10***'; echo '***Produced by Guild Software***'; +Brakes; +Accelerate;"
bind 8 startup1
alias startup2 "echo '***Neutral Flight Control v3.2.10***'; echo '***Produced by Guild Software***'; +Brakes; +Accelerate;"
bind 9 startup2
alias startup3 "echo '***Serco Control Program v3.2.10***'; echo '***Produced by Guild Software***'; +Brakes; +Accelerate;"
bind 0 startup3
alias aimon "Set autoaim 1; echo '***Aim Support v3.2.10 now ON***'"
bind ? aimon
alias aimoff "Set autoaim 0; echo '***Aim Support v3.2.10 now OFF***'"
bind / aimoff

EDIT: it looks cool too...

BusMateR: You can, you just have to use ' (single quotes) and " (double quotes). You're right that you can't using double quotes inside other double quotes.

slappyknappy they icon you double click to run vendetta is a folder. You right (or ctrl) click on it and say "View contents" in Finder or cd vendetta.app/Contents/ in terminal to get into it.

Eldrad,

I did that... it didn't work.

/me is confused

(thanks though)

Weird it works fine for me...
/me joins slappyknappy's confusion

Tnks Eldrad - i didn't know the ' could be used too...

** EDIT: text deleted **

slappyknappy: look at my previous post to see how it was(is) done. My configuration there works.
