TF2 Config files and Buttons I can’t live without!
“Charge Me Now Doctor!” “That spy is not our spy!”
Yes you could just hit the voice chat key, and ramble off the key phrase to let your team-mates know whats up, but that can take an eternity (or usually just long enough for your team-mate to get stabbed) to reach the ears of your comrade.
Trying to press X or C or whatever brings up those little menus of voices for you to choose from is also tedious.
The solution? BIND IT.
(your config files are in Steam/SteamApps/USERNAME/team fortress 2/tf/cfg)
Here is how you can start shouting “SPY!” all day long, and with your cursor aimed at the offender, even shout out their currently disguised class!
bind “f” “voicemenu 1 1″
Ever get that uber just 100 ms too late? Should have asked for it sooner with this bind
bind “x” “voicemenu 1 6″
The ‘F’ and the ‘X’ are just what I personally use and can be set to any key, including extra mouse buttons like mouse4 or mouse5.
Also for optimal weapon switching quickness I use the following setup:
bind “MWHEELUP” “slot1″
bind “MWHEELDOWN” “slot2″
bind “MOUSE3″ “slot3″
Beyond the standard config.cfg and autoexec.cfg (autoexec is run every time you change maps/connect to a server I believe) you also have a cfg file for each class, executed when you spawn as that class.
So in spy.cfg:
bind “MOUSE4″ “disguiseteam”
bind “MOUSE5″ “slot4″
Allowing me to quickly bring up the disguise menu and change to my own color before picking my outfit out.
In engineer.cfg:
bind “MOUSE5″ “slot4″
bind “MOUSE4″ “slot5″
So I can very quickly choose my next item!
These are just scratching the surface of all the stuff you can customize so I’m waiting to hear from you guys what config tweaks you can’t live without 
EDIT: This isn’t a bind, but a variable you can set the value of, so you can play with it to your liking. Does the Sniper rifle flail wildly when you are zoomed in and going for those sweet sweet head-shots? Slow it down with this!
zoom_sensitivity_ratio 0.5
That cuts your mouse sensitivity in half when you are zoomed in with the Sniper. Happy Hunting!
