Has anyone messed with this? Tried to increase it to see if more than 4 people could join a multiplayer game?

I have, the 5th person just gets a disconnect.

Is there anyway to add key binding for switch your class mods? This avoids manually going into the inventory during a firefight.

I have 3 great Class mods for my revolver, sniper rifle and a scavenger mod that adds +1 to find rare items.

good thing this game was made for pc gaming first, right guys?

How exactly would I do this in my .ini?

TIP: It's being reported that the FOV gets reset whenever you sprint in an online game. As a workaround, you can add the FOV command to one of your movement keys, like I have. Example - my MoveForward binding looks like this (my forward key is E):
Quote:
Bindings=(Name="E",Command="MoveForward | Axis aGas Speed=+1.0 | FOV 96",Control=False,Shift=False,Alt=False,LeftTrig ge r=False,RightTrigger=False,bIgnoreCtrl=False,bIgno reShift=False,bIgnoreAlt=False)

You mean this? Listed in the first post with everything else.

Hey Fellas,

Just want to say thanks for this great topic, it really helped me out in sorting various issues, mainly regarding mouse smoothing. I also stumbled across something else that maybe other users experience?

Basically, i noticed that my framerate was locked to 62 all the time. My refresh rate is 75hz, and vsync was definitely off. So after looking in WillowEngine.ini, i dicovered this line of text:

[Engine.GameEngine]
bSmoothFrameRate=True
MinSmoothedFrameRate=22
MaxSmoothedFrameRate=62
MaxDeltaTime=0

It apears that the engine uses a framerate smoothing system, i guess if you go under 22fps the game will begin to go into slowmotion to counter for low fps? Anyhow, the simplest solution i found was to simply change the "True" to "False". Now my framerate often goes up to 100+, which definitely feels a little better. And of course you can change the numbers to any level you like. This resolved all my stuttering and tearing issues, so hopefully it can help someone else too!

Sorry if it has already been mentioned, i didn't see it in the original post.

Another thing i was wondering about, is the 3rd person view? I managed to get it working fine, but there are still many bugs which i can't shake off. For example, when using a scope, the bullets simply don't hit anything. It's as if they vanish upon exiting the barrel.

Also it seems to make the bullets randomly hit way outside of the corsshair splashzone, sometimes the bullets hit my feet! Has anybody else experienced such issues with 3rd person view? I know it's not a supported view, and i certainly prefer first person, but i think third person feels nice when you just want to mix things up a little.

Here is a video of 3rd person i made, about halfway in you will see i fire a blue revolver, at one point the bullet i fires kills a phyhco who is pretty much behind me lol!



Again, thanks for this great guide! I can't wait until the console works properley, I really want to enable free cameras and make movies

Regards,

Rich.

Great guide has really helped make this game fun for pc users.

I was just wondering a few things.

1: Is there any way to turn off vehicle mouse control steering?

2: When going online what tweeks gets over ridden by the main host? Does the personal tweeks like max slots get over ridden? If so what happens to the stuff in the other slots?

Thats all for now keep up the good work.

So, im reading the OPs tutorial about zoom toggle binding. I think hes trying to teach me to make my own commands? Not just "here is how to make this button work". But more like "After this, people should have an understanding to make their OWN binding key commands". I promise im not being lazy, i just don't understand what hes trying to teach me. Can some one help me please? With one of two things. I either need more clear step by step instructions on how to bind, and learn to bind with understanding. Or i need A "here, copy and paste this" to get my middle mouse to both zoom, and toggle. Sorry if he got it right and im too stupid to understand him.

[Nissa]

Quizzelbuck, if I'm reading your request correctly, then I think that you need this line of code. Save your file before you try this, I havn't tested it but I use the same code for my right mouse button(while having the original right mouse button code mapped to my middle mouse button)

Bindings=(Name="MiddleMouseButton",Command="zoomin",Control=False,Shift=False,Alt=False,LeftTrigger=False,RightTrigger=False,bIgnoreCtrl=False,bIgnoreShift=False,bIgnoreAlt=False)

This should allow you to press your middle mouse button once to zoom in, and once again to zoom out.

Also, the op has really cleaned up his post compared to when he first made it. Pretty easy to understand.

Anyone know how to make Single Player (or Online solo even) more difficult as if there were 2 or 3 or 4 people total in the game?

Like Diablo 2's /player # command for example, which you can use trick the game into thinking up to 8 people are playing when it's only you to make it harder. I want more enemies, more difficult enemies, and more loot!

Solo is just too easy as it is. Especially on the second playthrough when your character is uber and has good gear. I did a coop run once but I'd like to experience the game without online lag that coop introduces. Even the framerate is better when I'm not connected to someone else's game which is odd.

I second this. I seem to be getting pretty crummy loot all the time. I haven't done the new haven reload item farming trick yet (Waiting to do that till I get to a point where I can farm Ryder guns from the basement), but getting better loot and tougher enemies would be great.

Also, is there a way to bind a single key to toggle between mouse sensitivities? (Or two keys with one sensitivity each?) I like to snipe, but with my sensitivity of 60.0, it's much too sensitive for high-precision shots at medium-long distances.

I'd preferably like close to the lowest or lowest set to the V key, and 60-70 for the B key.

Maybe it's just me, but I loved how a modder did the same kind of deal for Fallout 3 with scripts.

And as this is my first post here, great game Gearbox. Worth every penny.
