non-auggers use more "advantage binds" than auggers. We need our surrounding keys for our augs.

Well that's a good point Spaz. No, seriously, it is. Auggers don't necessarily need binds like medbind, as they have the advantage of their augs. Over at Brad and Zero's I've never used a medkit, I rely solely on my regen aug. In servers like AltFire for instance, you do need binds like medbind, as the weapons can cut you to shreds in seconds, plus no augs, and medbots are usually scattered around in spawnrooms, which you are more often than not, really far away from, so medbind comes in handy very much.

By the way do you guys explain to the newbs that they need to configure an ALTFIRE bind? With messages in game? Like we should do?

I've never seen anyone do that, as it is rather complicated to explain. But I have seen both [FGS] members and ~[E]~ members say to visit their respective forums, myself among them. I have it Say bound, as it gets tiresome repeating the same thing over and over again.

And you lot want us to tell people how to bind augs and metabolic end product in game?

I always tell them to visit the forum and then they are helped. Many ppl have said this way is effective...

It is. Very effective.

Yes, every time, someone stops, gets typekilled giving the FGS site address.

No-one suggested you should teach binding in game, but if they are missing some vital information on how to play, then it's lame not to direct them to a site which explains they are missing vital info and what that info is.

So since that is not easy, guessing who knows how to bind and who doesnt, a mod or mutator is the only way really...

(Some images missing due to site updating atm).

Also I like binds, they make it easier to kill people.

Just point them in the direction of the keyboard setup on the ingame controls. That's how you set up aug binds.

Well I'm not sure, but I remember reading of a mod on [A] forums, it was called 'Message Of The Day' or something (maybe it wasn't on [A], whatever) and i assumed the mod gave out a message to everyone in the server so:

Set MessageOfTheDay visit 'insert link' for the AltFire bind setup.

could it be just as easy as that?

Found it, dunno who made it though.

Could also use MMShowMessage which lets an Admin display a message in the center screen, or user MMUserControl to close their DX and open up the URL to a bind page, but best ask permission first lol.
