Heya Tristan,
Glad you like the FTag servers, and welcome to the forums! I'll answer your questions as best I can.
-is it possible to bind a class to a key, if so, how?
As far as I know, it is not possible to bind a class to a key in the freezetag mod, unless there's a scriptmenu thing for it in the mod somewhere that I haven't seen.
-Where can i get the vsay list and how can I bind voice chat to keys.
THIS I can help with. To bind a key to a voice chat command, simply type in the console : \bind key "scriptmenu command, found below"
The scriptmenu commands for the default CoD4 voice chats are as follows:
COMMANDS:
"openScriptMenu quickcommands 1" - On me!
"openScriptMenu quickcommands 2" - Move in!
"openScriptMenu quickcommands 3" - Fall back!
"openScriptMenu quickcommands 4" - Base of fire!
"openScriptMenu quickcommands 5" - Attack left flank!
"openScriptMenu quickcommands 6" - Attack right flank!
"openScriptMenu quickcommands 7" - Hold this position!
"openScriptMenu quickcommands 8" - Regroup!
STATEMENTS
"openScriptMenu quickstatements 1" - Contact!
"openScriptMenu quickstatements 2" - Multiple contacts!
"openScriptMenu quickstatements 3" - In position.
"openScriptMenu quickstatements 4" - Area secure.
"openScriptMenu quickstatements 5" - Watch your six!
"openScriptMenu quickstatements 6" - Sniper!
"openScriptMenu quickstatements 7" - Need reinforcements!
RESPONSES
"openScriptMenu quickresponses 1" - Roger
"openScriptMenu quickresponses 2" - Negative
"openScriptMenu quickresponses 3" - Moving
"openScriptMenu quickresponses 4" - Sorry
"openScriptMenu quickresponses 5" - Nice Shot
"openScriptMenu quickresponses 6" - Come On
For example, \bind p "openscriptmenu quickresponses 1" would bind the voice chat "Roger!" to your P key.
Sorry, this turned into a bit of a book xD. I don't know what the scriptmenu stuff is for the custom voice chats they added - I'd have to do some searching. I'll post here if I find them.
-Someone told me to type /+activate for auto defrost. That worked but it also made it impossible to pick up guns or open doors. Bug or normal?
This is normal. All of those actions are bound to the same command.
-I installed the XI downloader but it wont download all the maps, do I have to turn on anything beside what game to download after?
I'm not the best one to answer this - perhaps one of the Idiot devs could respond imo, go to Edit -> Options and ensure that the correct servers are selected in Server Settings, UAC Enabled, etc.
The rest of the settings are pretty much up to your preference. Brightness depends on your monitor of course, and sensitivity is up to you. I recommend using 0 mouse acceleration, so that it's easier to predict where your crosshair will land when you flick your mouse to kill the bastard behind you
If you have any questions, feel free to add me on Xfire (dasmouse), ask them here, or send me a PM. Also I'd be happy to send you my cfg if you want to try it. It's based on one used by a top CoD4 pro player.
Hope this helped. XD
