Bind capital letters? :(

You cant, for instance, bind "say Tralal". It´ll just come out "tralal" without a big T. An easy problem to fix i assume so please do it =)

Thanks! :O)

Waste of a perfectly good alias tbh. I get max_cvars errors as it is, it seems like such a waste to do simple say commands using aliases.

bind v "weaponbank 4; cmd say_team "^1> ^O=47 ^U=52 ^O=41 ^U=4e ^O=41 ^U=54^1 <"

Way too complicated, especially if you're like me and do say binds on the fly via the console. Plus, the same binds couldn't be used on etmain servers.

A workaround I've been using is to make a cfg file "say_medic.cfg" that has a single command:
say_team "Going MEDIC"
and then make a bind:
bind x "exec say_medic.cfg"

No aliases wasted, but there are a helluva lot of .cfg files. Even with subdirectories they're hard to keep track of.

And of course every time you exec something, a line "execing filename.cfg" appears in the console.

this has always been a headache for me, as stated there are work arounds, but surely it wouldnt be that hard for the ET Pro squad to fix it.

The engine is responsible for the lowercasing at bind time. There's nothing we can do about it.

He's using high-ascii chars, that's why the cmd.
Not sure of what exactly is he using hehehehe

If you put the encoded chars in the bind yourself (e.g. bind v "weaponbank 4; cmd say_team "^1> ^OG ^UR ^OA ^UN ^OA ^UT^1 <"), you don't need cmd. If you want to encoded the characters yourself (as was done here to avoid the lowercasing issue), you need to use cmd so that the client won't reencode them.
