Double Binding: Tool of the Devil?

[n54]

i don't think either assigning several keys to the same action or fiddling with system keyboard settings is cheating... macros (prerecorded keystroke combinations) is something else entirely and absolutely cheating btw (not that i think it actually helps but that's just a gut feeling)

some players might feel its better for them some not - personally my brain obviously can't cope with more than one key per action lol i think i tried it for like 6 minutes before giving up

[nicolas.b]

isn't it a combination of both?

i'm not sure i follow you, but since this is probably one of the most pointless debates i've ever been involved in... i'm prepared to accept your explanation.

isn't it a combination of both?

i would agree with that

Hello! About double binding...

1) Configure double keys to turn is available through player setup in client game. So, for me, it doesn't make sense to talk about "cheats" or "bugs"...

2) CYCLE_DELAY is a server parameter, admins can apply a lower value (like Ring server) which affects ALL players in that server. So all can take the advantages (or disadvantages ) of that parameter and all people have the same possibilities. Use double bind is an option of each player.

There are players who are very critical with those who use double bind. Even some people says that a "good player never use double bind"

I've seen very good players who use the double keys and many other, very good too who don't use this.

It's an option, it's there, personally i like and i use it.

you mean like the index finger and ring finger of the SAME hand..

lmao i play just like that, index for left , midle for right, other idex on turbo, never glance, just listen. no wonder im so bad at it

[Zapple]

I do same,

Right hand, index goes to Z, left, middle goes go X, left, I have to glance fast, I take me hand off turns and glace, if I need to do something fast ill use my left hand fast.

Left hand goes to Q, brake

I hit D alot for pag down, writing seems to mess me up alot, lol, lonly a key away. Home I dont hit chat, S next to it, I be carefull

well doubble binding has some downsides...

First, you can go way to fast for yourself and end up comiting suicide.

Second of all on some servers (like Smegtron) you get major bounce by doubble binding.

The devil is the one who tries to keep double biders from double binding. Don't a be hater, and if you can't beat em join em.

[Tank Program]

if you can't beat em join em.

I swear you mentioned that someplace else on this same subject... As for double binding... It's a part of the game. Do you all know that I actually have almost every parameter defined? I actually do use camera keys to change my view, along with glance. And when I was starting, I did just use sound and 3 fingers... Progress huh?

[Speedracer]

Very impressive. This is how I bind my keyboard. It is very effective.
left shft - glance back
z - glance left / - glance right
x - turn left . - turn right
c - turn left , - turn right
space bar - brakes

[che]

naaah, too complicated

leftarrow= left
downarrow= right
left ctrl = turbo (breake)

thats all

[Tank Program]

It'd take me ages to list my config...

im sick of crashing into invisiwalls caused by double binders

[Zapple]

Really? Because I love to make invisiwalls by double binding!

I dont use db to actually play the game, just to fool around

[PiKeMaN]

i use left arrow-left
right arrow-right
down arrow-brake
up arrow-glance back

seems the easiest to me, i even tried using my mouse keys as left and right at one time but that didn't go so great
