Installation Starting Q3F Running Servers Basic Configuration Troubleshooting

Basic Configuration

Though you can create you own CFG files to handle almost every aspect of Q3F configuration (including settings, aliases, bindings, class specific CFGs, and communications), for those of you new to Q3F, we've created a special menu where you can setup most of the Q3F controls you'll need in game.

From the Main Menu (or if you're in-game, press escape) and click the 'SETUP' button. From here select the 'CONTROLS' option. From here you can configure all the keys and buttons you wish to use for Look, Move, Shoot, Misc and most importantly Q3F. If you click the 'Q3F' button, you'll be presented with a menu that looks like this:

Within this menu you are able to bind a key to the basic Q3F commands (the complete list is detailed in the Commands section). The following is a list of the functions of each of the commands available on this menu:

Prime/throw grenade one Once a key is assigned to this command, holding it down will prime the grenade of type one, and letting go will throw it. If you wish to use a grenade timer or some alternate form of grenade script (for example a two-touch script) then refer to the Commands section. For more information on the types of grenades available to the different classes, read the Grenades sub-section.
Prime/throw grenade two As above but for grenades of type two.
HE charge menu This command brings up the Menu for setting Heavy Explosive Charges, while playing Grenadier.
Disguise menu This command brings up the Menu for using the Disguise and invisible abilities of the Agent.
Detonate pipebombs While playing Grenadier and using the Pipebomb Launcher, this command will detonate all laid pipes.
Special This command is used by all classes to do the most appropriate special ability. For the Grenadier it detonates pipes, the Diguise menu for the Agent, the Build menu for the Engineer, toggles autozoom for Sniper etc.
