Sample of new Costume Change Emote

[Baseload]

For those of us not on test

This is the Vanguard CC Emote you can apparently get with merits...I think. Hopefully not.

If it takes merits to get that... then I need merits.

Looks sort of... Nanoha-like? '.'

It needs to be purchased with Vanguard merits, yes.

Oh, very nice. Eva and a few of my other chars could use that.

But are they going to fix things and make the emotes "sticky", so we don't have to reselect them every time we log in?

Bob,

Just set up keybinds, thats what I do

Yeah, I just tend to bind my costume changes with emotes to my numpad buttons. The code is typically:

/bind numpad# "cc_e "

example

/bind numpad1 "cc_e 1 ccCast"

Numpad 1 will then use the Cast Emote when selecting my second slot costume (Since they start at slot 0)

If you wanted to get REALLY creative, you can set up two-part keybinds using the /bindloadfile command so that you can pick the emote AND the costume slot you
want dynamically.

The sequence I tested was:

1) Hit numpad key to select emote

1a) Key re-binds the numpad so that step 2 will work correctly

2) Hit numpad key again to select costume

2a) Key executes desired cc_e command and re-binds the keys back to the way they were in step 1

Granted, it was more a test to see if I -could-, but it was kind of nifty. I was actually planning on taking it to a third level, actually -- one key to
trigger "costume change mode", then from there starting at step 1. That's so I didn't use up 5 keys permanently (or more when they add more
cc_e options).

Do want.

[Bob Schroeck]

Oh, I know it can be done with keybinds, and I've been planning to do so for a while (in my copious free time).

It's just that, as far as I'm concerned, 1) setting the emote in the costume dialog isn't permanent, and 2) it's global, instead of being
slot-specific, are at best misfeatures and at worst outright bugs.

/cce 0 cccast works for me!

Hrm.

What I need for Ichi is a keybind that'll put the following together in one keypress:

1) Switch to a specific costume using a specific emote

2) Invoke the Fly power.

And one to reverse that.

Is that doable?

I'm sure it's possible but there may be certain problems involved like the fact that if you're in anything but "neutral" the cc-emotes don't work...

So you might wind up setting up one of the "fly on demand" binds for your forward key and a cc key. *shrug*

It should be.

/bind "cce # ccCast$$powexec_toggle_on Fly"

/bind "cce # ccCast$$powexec_toggle_off Fly"

"powexec_toggle_on" can be replaced with "powexec_name"

---

Edit: Based on what Fox said you might need to toggle off Fly before doing to costume change. The order of commands
should be significant, so it would be

/bind "powexec_toggle_off Fly$$cce # ccCast"

not what I originally wrote. I know this works with PBs, swapping from Nova to Human and activating Flight.

You can assign multiple binds to a key using either the bind_load method, or by using the shift and alt keys

ie

/bind B "show chat$$beginchat /broadcast"

/bind rshift+B "show chat$$beginchat /local"

/bind lshift+B "show chat $$beginchat /team"

ctrl+B is also valid, as is, I think, alt+B

The file method is, as mentioned up thread

/bind "powexec_name Fly$$bind_load file1"

file1 overwrites with

/bind "powexec_toggle_off Fly$$bind_load file2"

and file2 has the first bind in it.

You can create a bind file using /bind_save file But keep in mind this will save all current keybinds. If you add
new ones, you'll have to either resave or edit the file. The bind files can be edited using a text editor.

To unbind a key

/bind "nop"

Try looking at the complete list of binds and the Kheldian guides on the
official forums. There are other bind thread's but I'm blanking on them at the moment.
