WELCOME BACK, COMMANDER In today's topic, I'll be going over the complete package of setting up your keybindings for console commands, (commander) support powers, and other miscellaneous goodies. Lets dive straight to the point, shall we? Topic 1 How To Make Yourself Commander! ----- ⚠️ ----- It is important to note that while I em showing you how to make yourself a commander using console commands or the in-game vote menu, I will NOT be showing how to become a experience battlefield commander. If you want to know your role as a commander and like an introduction, it's best to ask in the official TA Discord or look in the wiki which I'll link here: https://wiki.totemarts.games/wiki/Commanders Option 1 1. First things first, let's make you a commander. The first option you have is using the in-game Vote Menu which has features that are easy and quick to access. To open the Vote Menu, on your keyboard press CRTL + V. 2. Once open, on the left side of your screen you should see the Vote Menu. You should see a list of options that range from restarting the map to voting a commander. The one we want to use is the Vote Commander option so on your keyboard press 9. Image from in-game Renegade X 3. From there it will ask you to Elect or Impeach, you want to press 1 on your keyboard to Elect yourself or someone you wish to vote in as commander. Image from in-game Renegade X 4. Since I'm using Skirmish, it will automatically put me as a commander. If you're trying this on a server, in the bottom left, it will ask you to vote somebody in. So in this case you will type your in-game name in there (or another players name if you want them as commander). Image from in-game Renegade X 5. Once you typed your name and pressed ENTER, a vote will appear on the middle-top of your screen telling the players in-game to vote you as commander. Ultimately if you change your mind, you can double press F2 on your keyboard and it will cancel the vote. Image from in-game Renegade X Option 2 6. Alternatively, the most easiest way of doing it is by using a simple command called: ----- ⚠️ ----- You must note: this only works if you are a administrator of the server (different for moderators) or in Skirmish. Please do not attempt this on the servers that you are not an administrator on. 7. To set yourself commander or somebody else, press F5 or / (forward slash) on your keyboard and a green and black box will open in the bottom. Type the command /setcommander then the players name and press ENTER. It will automatically skip the voting process and assign you or the player commander. Image from in-game Renegade X Topic 2 Setting Up Your Keybindings! -----💡----- Before we begin, I'm going to give you a list of (commander) support powers and console commands that will be important for you later down the line or whenever you need a refresher. Console commands will only work if you are a administrator in a server, Skirmish, or SDK Editor of Renegade X. Some commands will work in multiplayer servers. UDK Keybinds: https://docs.unrealengine.com/udk/Three/KeyBinds.html Support Powers Console Commands Vehicle List Weapon List Building List Once you memorized the commands or (commander) support powers you wish to use, let's begin on how to set them up onto a keybinding. Option 1 1. The first option you have is to set up your keybindings by going in-game and pressing F5 or / (forward slash) to open the command console. The command console will be a green and black box that will appear in front of you below. For faster results, make sure you're in a game or server to test out your functions. It is also important to note that you can overwrite your keybindings. Please ensure you don't make any mistakes or overwrite your W key and complain later that you can't walk anymore. 2. Once you have the command console open, in the console you want to type setbind then the key you want to bind, and lastly the command or support power you want bind. In simpler terms, like this: setbind <key> <command> So for example lets say I want to use the Radar Scan/Spy Plane support power and bind it to my J key, I would type setbind J quicksupport 1. Image from in-game Renegade X Below is a video better showing it if you're still confused. 💡 setbindtutorial1.mp4 "But Jay! I want to spawn a bunch of Titans without having to type it manually at the time! How do I set that to one of my keys?" ⚠️ (Just be careful doing that as you can actually crash yourself.) ⚠️ It's simple! Allow me to show you. 3. Once you figured out how the setbind command works, lets move onto the next level of summoning your favorite GDI walker tank: the Titan! To summon a Titan, in the command console you would type summon RenX_Game.TS_Vehicle_Titan. So lets say I want to summon Titans for my friends without having to type it manually all the time, and I want it bind to my V key. Here is what I would type: setbind V summon RenX_Game.TS_Vehicle_Titan. If you want a different vehicle, you would just type in a different line. Go back to the Vehicle List if you want to try out more. Image from in-game Renegade X Option 2 4. Finally getting the hang out it now, are you? Well lets move on to setting up your keybindings using the UDKInput file where all your configurations keys are located. -----💡----- First locate your install directory for Renegade X. If you don't know where it is, open up your TA Launcher and click on ⚙️ Settings in the bottom right. Once you open your settings, in front of you should show you where your install directory is, and of course you can change it anytime. Image from TA Launcher 5. Once you found your install directory double click on the UDKGame folder, then Config, and scroll down until you find UDKInput. Double click to open it and Notepad should open up. 6. Once you double clicked UDKInput and see Notepad open, scroll down until you find [RenX_Game.Rx_PlayerInput]. 7. If you scroll down further, you're going to see a bunch of Bindings= the further you go and go. Mainly, you want to find the bind you set your key to. In this case, it be easier to find the key such as ThumbMouseButton, J, V, or any key you set to. For me, mine are found way in the bottom above [RenX_Game.Rx_AuthenticationClient]. As you can see, mine are already set because I did them in-game. -----💡----- If for any reason your keybindings are not working in-game when you type them into the console, you always have the option to use the UDKInput if things don't go your way. Renegade X or UDK can be a bit finicky sometimes when doing commands in-game so it's always good to remember these sort of options. End As this tutorial comes to an end, I want to thank you for taking your time reading through this big ol' piece of information that might be useful to you now or one day. However you use this inforamtion, please use it responsibly. ----- ⚠️ ----- I em NOT responsible if you overwrite your existing keybindings! Please take caution and read through the information carefully! Put on your glasses (if you use them, that is) too! If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to comment below or on TA's Official Discord. I'll do my best to answer any questions you have. If any of the commands get changed in the future, I'll be sure to update this forum post. With that being said, I'll see you in the battlefield... Commander. - Jay

I configured a dedicated server with the intent of having friendly fire enabled but I couldn't find any value for it in any of the config files.
