CZ Bind Maker / News: Recent posts

There was an issue when using bindmaker, if no steam was installed (the ModInstallPath registry key, which gets installed with steam, is not present), or bind maker could not find the game directory and the user had to select the config.cfg file themselves, that when the user attempted to save, an unhandled exception would occur. This issue has been fixed, and a new release of 1.1.5 has been released as version 1.1.5.1. All links to the previous version on the main site have been updated to this one, so if you were a user affected by this change, download the new package.... read more

Well, its been a while since we said it was coming out, but weve managed to get 1.1.5 out the door. It allows you to make buy scripts for Counter-Strike: Source, but for the time being doesnt support the various configuration settings that Source does allow (which are few).

Anyway, check it out, give it a download. Feedback is welcomed.

1.1.4

* Added a "Edit" option to enable users to edit their existing
current binds from within the app (right click Current Binds).
* Added a binding sequence editor, so that the user can define
the order in which the binds are written (right click binding
items checkbox) into the script.
* Added a double click feature. when you double click a current bind
it lets you edit it.
* Added export function for backing up & restoring config files
* Added crosshair manipulation items (crosshair transparency,
crosshair size, & crosshair color).
* Added a users guide which gets installed.
* Changed Method of parsing Console Color to enable any delimiter.
* Changed some icons here and there.
* Cleaned up some old legacy unused code.
* Updated menu library.
* Updated Say / Team say & removed the way these items are added
to a script. it now uses a checkbox to add / remove these from
scripts.
* Fixed bug that when loading a new config file from the menu, app
wouldnt clear out the previous current binds list box.
* Fixed a bug where the say/team say items wouldnt become enabled
after adding a bind.
* Fixed a buy that was created with the introduction of Counter-
Strike Source (if its installed), & Bind Maker finding the
Counter Strike directory.
* Finally created an InstallShield installer (much smaller initial
download).
* Fixed / changed / added some other things that I cant remember.

CZ Bind Maker has just released release candidate 1.

This release included quite a bit of changes to the core application. the user interface has changed slightly and the way the binds are queued up are probably the most dramatic change in the app.

please test and submit bugs if you find them. there are some known issues, so please read the release notes...

This is not the next major release of Bind Maker (version 1.2 due out shortly), but since the release of Condition Zero came out before I finished version 1.2, I patched verion 1.1 to allow it to make binds for CS:CZ and fixed some minor bugs in the application.

Changelog:

Updated: 03/26/2004 version 1.1.1

~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=

* Added ability to create binds for CS:CZ
* Upgraded Sandbar.dll which fixed a bug with keyboard shortcuts
* Fixed a bug where empty binds could be added to the bind list

I've added a new Office 2003 style menu's and toolbar (thanks to Tim Dawson http://www.divil.co.uk/net/\) to the application and added Say/Team Say and Radio Commands. We've re-arranged a few things, so the application has sort of a new look to it. I also added the ability of users to open up their various config files from CZ Bind Maker in Notepad.

Here's the change log.

I just uploaded the newest version of CZ Bind Maker...

I doesn't contain any new features, but it does contain several bug fixes... if the program crashed on you, this version should have fixed that problem.

With the help of nebuchadnezar and Ganja-Farmer I have been able to locate a bug that has been in CZ Bind Maker since the original release, and haven't been able to locate or replicate on my own machine.... read more

CZ Bind Maker has a new release today, I've fixed a few things about the binding schema that valve decided to change without warning. Old versions of bind maker no longer make valid binds as valve moved to a lowercase key value instead of an uppercase one.

Another major bug/limitation that should now be taken care of for the time being is the way the program looks for the counter strike directory. It now does a fully qualified search for the counter strike path instead of having the path to the directory hard coded into the application. This should enable users with foreign (non-English) versions of counterstrike to be able to use the application.... read more

A major update has been made to the bind maker program. No longer can only the users with the default install location of steam use CZ Bind Maker. Steam recently released a new version of its software which publishes the install path to the registry, so Bind Maker can now read that path when calculating the path to the users config file.

CZ Bind Maker should now work on 99.9% of current Counter-Strike users.

The Custom Bind Maker for Counter-Strike 1.6 has had a few changes (listed below). Please Update if you have an older version.

Updated: 9/24/2003 version 1.0.1362

~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=

* Fixed private settings to work correctly

CZ Bind Maker version 1.0.1356 has been released. this should work with the new steam release of Half-Life / Counter-Strike.

SPECIAL UPDATE: as of september 5th (or so) Steam changed the location of the game files (from SteamCache to SteamApps), so the special update will correct the problem of CZ Bind maker not being able to locate the config file.

the special update does not contain .NET so if you need the .NET framework please download the 1.0.1 installer and update it with the special patch/update

I must have uploaded the installers that did not have the source code in them.... sorry, I've added version 1.0.1 source to the download files...

thanks

version 1.01 beta is public on sourceforge. I am in the process of redesigning the editor and adding the ability to edit config files in an IDE (integrated development environment) like manner. CZ Bind Maker allows graphical selection of choices to be written into custom buy scripts for Half-Life and Counter-Strike 1.6.

stop on by and give it a try.
