'''This is the online game manual for Fortress Forever, a free mod for all owners of [[System_Requirements|Half-Life 2 based games]]'''

This manual is currently under development, and will eventually provide extensive information on how to set up Fortress Forever. It will help get you started playing, as well as help you learn the ins and outs of the game. But in the mean time, ''don't panic''! (and please help out filling in the gaps where you can.)

Fortress Forever is a class-based online FPS(first-person-shooter) teamwork game. Players are divided into one to four different teams, and pick between nine different classes, while partaking in a variety of different game styles including ''[[Game Type:Capture The Flag|capture the flag]]'', ''[[Game Type:Territory Control|territorial control]]'' and ''[[Game Type:Hunted|assassination]]'', as well as fun styles such as ''conc'', and ''escape'', also for those who just feel like having an all out frag fest, we offer ''[[Game Type:Deathmatch|deathmatch]]''. Learning how to play will be a fun and inviting experience. Will you be the quick and nimble scout? Or will you be the tactical engineer? Perhaps the mad crazy anarchist pyro? You can develop your abilities by learning and using many different movement tricks such as: [[Movement:Bunnyhopping|bunnyhopping]], [[Movement:Trimping|trimping]], [[Movement:Sharking|sharking]], as well as other tricks too, It will be a gaming experience to remember. Strap your boots on, and put on your helmet Private, its time to frag.

If you would like to contribute, please read the [[Fortress_Forever_Wiki:Style_and_usage_guidelines|style and usage guidelines]] and the [[TODO|TODO list]].

Squeek-10494: /* Aliases */

=What's a Script?=
A script is a config file (usually for a specific class) that has key binds that make it easier for you to access class-specific functions.

==General Scripts==
[[General Scripts]]<BR>
'''[[Cleanup Script]]''' Very useful!<BR>

==List of Class-Specific Scripts==
[[Scout Scripts]]<BR>
[[Sniper Scripts]]<BR>
[[Soldier Scripts]]<BR>
[[Demoman Scripts]]<BR>
[[Medic Scripts]]<BR>
[[HWGuy Scripts]]<BR>
[[Pyro Scripts]]<BR>
[[Spy Scripts]]<BR>
[[Engineer Scripts]]<BR>

=Making a Script=
Making a script is nothing more than stringing commands together to achieve a particular result.
To create a sequence of actions, list your commands followed by a semicolon (;) then a space ( ).
When listing multiple commands, make sure you use quotation marks (") to enclose your script!

==Aliases==
An alias is another name used to define a list of commands, just as "driving a car" is a name for all the activities that make up driving.

===Example: How it should look===
<pre>alias example "command1; command2; command3"</pre>

This code creates an alias named example. If we typed example into the console, or executed it in a cfg file, command 1, 2, and 3 would execute in the order listed in the alias.

An alias can also be used to shorten commands for use in scripts.

<pre>alias c4 "command4"</pre>

We can use our newly created commands, '''example''' and '''c4''', in further scripts.
<pre>alias example2 "example; c4"</pre>

This would be a good time to visit the [[Script Reference]] to see what possibilities you can string together.

Now that you've got a list of commands in mind, or in best case, already written up, what do you do? You can copy and paste it into the console every time, or you can bind it to a key, using the '''bind''' command.

===Example: Detonate dispenser===
<pre>bind x "detdispenser"</pre>

===Example: Medic Shout + Text===
<pre>bind x "saveme; say Text here."</pre>

=How to Use the class.cfg file system=

Located in your FortressForever\cfg folder, you will see a .cfg file for each class.
[example directory picture]

These files are executed when you spawn after dying. They are perfect for storing class-specific key bindings, as well as more advanced scripts. The Userconfig.cfg file is also loaded every time you spawn, because it is listed in the class.cfg. Userconfig.cfg is used for global scripts and aliases.

===List of commands===
A list of available commands can be found at the [[Script Reference]] page.

===Uh oh! I screwed up one of my config files! What do I do?===
Relax. Just find the default config listed below for whatever you screwed up and paste it into the config file.

[[Userconfig default]]<br>
[[Scout default]]<br>
[[Sniper default]]<br>
[[Soldier default]]<br>
[[Demoman default]]<br>
[[Medic default]]<br>
[[Hwguy default]]<br>
[[Pyro default]]<br>
[[Spy default]]<br>
[[Engineer default]]<br>
[[Civilian default]]<br>
