Some classes have multiple weapons. Click on the weapon to show all the available weapons for that class.
Close the Limbo menu by pressing the L key and you're ready to fight.


Binds, Scripts, Tweaks & Commands

Scripts are a set of commands written in an interpreted language to automate certain application tasks, stored in a file for subsequent or repeated execution.

¤ Creating a script
Create a new configuration file for storing the scripts. Open notepad or another text editor and save the file as autoexec.cfg. It is very important that the extension of the file is .cfg!
Open your autoexec.cfg file and add stuff in it. Check above for scripts and tweaks that you can add.
If your autoexec.cfg isn't loading, open the console and type /exec autoexec.cfg and it will load the file.
¤ Creating a bind

bind

eg: bind "X" say "Hi!"


¤ Script commands
To create a script more complex than using just binds, you can also use the commands seta, set, vstr, echo and exec.

seta
set
echo
exec

Use // to make notes on the script.
eg: //This is a note.


In set we can use vstr for switching the returned value:

set vstr

eg: set z vstr x1
set x1 ; set z vstr x2
set x2 ; set z vstr x1

Clans and Communities

Wolfstuff.org is an international game resource and community site.

¤ Clans
Most gamers organize themselves into small groups of like-minded players in order to play together and socialize. Typically, these groups start suddenly, contain a handful of members, focus on a single game and have a short life span. There are literally hundreds of these clans or guilds in each online game.

¤ Communities
Some gamers are organized less formally in communities, which may also contain clans or guilds. Often these communities include websites generating a fair amount of news and active forums to give the members their sense of community.
