Beta v0.41


ABOUT:

Counter-Strike Alias Binder (CSAB) is a program, for use in Windows, to be used in conjunction with the 
popular Half-Life modification, Counter-Strike.

Counter-Strike uses a system of weapon, ammunition and item purchasing within the game, to enable the player
to get a variety of weapons, while providing competition - ie. the more you kill, the more dosh you get in your 
sweaty hands. Normally, to purchase things in-game, the user has to do so via a system of numbered menus. This 
can take some time to purchase things, especially for the newbie CS players out there.

CSAB eliminates this lack of speed by providing anyone in the world the opportunity of doing this all with the
press of one button, via a system of alias commands. Normally, aliases have to be inputted by the user, which for 
beginners especially can mean a lot of boring time wasted while typing in repetitive strings of commands.

In CSAB, there are a series of simple, easy to use pull down menus and on-board help for creating aliases the 
easy way. It takes a lot less time to produce your aliases, and more time to blow people to the furthest reaches of 
hell (ie. play Counter-Strike).

Aliases provide the players with distinct advantages above other users, enabling  them to make a fast get-away, not 
having to stand around while buying guns. Many clans (including mine) use this system, and it has proved VERY effective
so far.


INSTALLATION:

1.Unzip all runtime files from "runtime.zip" to "C:\Windows\System".

2.Unzip all the CSAB files anywhere you like.

3.Run "Counter-Strike Alias Binder.exe"

4.Follow the "usage" instructions below.


USAGE:

1.Click on the "Open Autoexec File" button (a disk with an "A") or via the "File" menu.

2.Locate your "autoexec.cfg" file (Typically in C:\Sierra\Half-Life\Cstrike\) and open it.

3.Repeat steps for your "config.cfg" file, but by using the "Open Config File" button or menu command.

4.Once opened, choose what you would like aliases/binds for by clicking on the appropriate checkboxes in the top right
hand corner of the screen: "Weapons", "Chat" or "Radio". You may select multiple ones of these, so for example, if
you wanted to buy a gun, then say a chat message, then a radio command, select all three. This can all be done
automatically by using CSAB.

5.Now you have selected the check boxes, click on the first corresponding "tab". ie. If you checked "Weapons", click
on the "Bind Weapons" tab.

6.Make sure you fill in the "Alias Name" and "Key" menus, as these have to be unique to each bind.

7.Now by using the simple menus within the tab, select the desired options.

8.If you selected another check box, click on the next appropriate tab.

9.Once you have done this, in the final selected tab there will be an "insert into cfg" button. Click on this.

10.Your alias will now have been inserted into your ".cfg" files that you opened earlier.

11.SAVE YOUR FILES by using the appropriate menu commands/toolbar buttons.

12.In the game, simply press the key you requested the alias for and that's it - simple!

13.Have fun!
