    I recently discovered a couple of unused emots on Release. Unused because they don't appear on the Q wheel:

    screen-15-04-02-00-45-10.png


    These are:
    -3 dots (used when typing I guess, but rebindable)
    - an engine wheel icon
    - a ballon coming from the right with a kind of small cross.

    I'm using the last 2 lately, but what I also wanted to share is the possibility of rebinding a void slot from the Emotes.png sheet to make a "Cancel emote" effect. Here my bindings, with the icon of each number (notice a void slot under the skull and above the hammer icons, I binded the key 7 to it, and when pressed it cancels the pevious emote and the animation)

    (yeah, 2323 is a thing now)
    I use the first and the last 2 ones for building indications, go out there and modify your bindings now!

    Emots at Classic are quite similar, but they have shadows under them. With the last classic update they added the heart and something else moe, like the derp eyed face I believe. I think you can't rebind them, but these all should be in the Q wheel. The engine wheel icon appears when you press ESC, as if you're dealing with your client settings. It does not happen in Release

    It's interesting how certain emotes don't trigger the "gesticulation" sprite for your character, such as void and ellipses.

    I was just going thru the emote bindings when I tried doing this:
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]

    I tried modifying a letter to an emote. It didn't work for me though because I don't know anything about coding. Maybe someone can help me?
    (btw what is the :B): emote number?) (PS found it.)

    I haven't done it for a long time, but I believe you have to just change the values in EmoteBindings.cfg, if you try to change the actual code inside of EmoteHotkeys.as like you are doing, it will notice you have different code inside of it to other people and freeze you.

    Helps stop some hackers, but yes, it is stupid. I remember when when I started to play I wanted to mod in some hotkeys so I could select between arrows without having to press F a thousand times and having a chance of it selecting the wrong arrow.

    Damn you, Geti!

    The thing is I don't want it to be numbers but keys like G and I. For example:
    Presses G, sees crying emotion.
    And not having to move my fingers a long distance.

    Doesn't work as far as I can tell.

    I switched up the code so I got
    Code:
    CControls@ controls = getControls();
    if (controls.isKeyJustPressed(KEY_KEY_G))
    {
        set_emote(this, emote_1);
    }
    in EmoteHotkeys.as. Works fine in single player - but when you join multiplayer, it doesn't work but at the same time it doesn't freeze you, it just has emote 1 binded to key 1 even though your code says otherwise O.o. It doesn't even change it back, I checked back in EmoteHotkeys.as after and it's the same as I edited it to.

    When you modify one of those you directly re-download the vanilla ones from the server you join, or at launching the game itself it gets autoupdated.

    Emotebindings.cfg can be changed though.

    I've tried it quite a bit, unless it's a server mod/whatever, you just can't do it mang, which kinda sucks. I wanted to make AWSD do funny stuff.
