Hello fellow paintballers.
In order tpo become a JTrooper this is a MUST-DO. You should go first go to the about page:
http://thejtroopers.blogspot.co.uk/p/about.html and click and read everything there as it is very important.
Then follow these steps.
#1
Make sure you adjust your config file as the following.
To access the config file go to the location where you installed paintball2 then /pball/configs/config.cfg
[Note, right click > open with > notepad]
Now we have to bind in the clan motto. For this we will use the key
'x' and bind that to the motto. So just paste the following text into the command line.
bind "x" "ê¡ ÊÏÙ êõóôéãå! ˆAôèå ÍÉÇÈÔÙ ˆAÊÔroopersˆ× òõìå!"
Now just save it and your done!
#2
You need to know how to open up the console. There is a shortcut key somewhere on your keyboard that will bring up the console. For most of the people the key looks like ¬, and that is equal to a back tick (`). To find out what key is your console shortcut key, go
to the location where you installed paintball2 then /pball/configs/default.cfg
Now where it says bind SOMETHING "toggleconsole", this is where you'll find the shortcut key. Look what the SOMETHING is. If it's a ~ then you have to push the ~ key to bring up the console. If it's a `, then you have to press the ¬ or § key to bring up the console and so forth.
Now join an ordinary server and open up the console (press the shortcut key you found in the default.cfg file).
Now paste the following in the console, but
NOTE: REPLACE ONLY YOURNAME with your popular name. DO NOT DELETE ANYTHING ELSE. Your name must be at least 70% blue.
bind "2" "name ˆA¼ôêô¾ˆ‡YOURNAME‡ˆA‘"
When you press the number '2' in-game. You'll notice that you're name has changed (if your name was not equal to the name already.) Now if you've done all of that correctly, just do one final command in the console
bind / wave
When you press '/' in-game you'll notice it now should log 'flipoff' and your character will give a wave. In TJT waves are used as signals. Normally for 'follow me', but sometimes also used for plans.
In the command log type
crosshair #
-replace # with anything between 1-7, keep which ever cross hair you prefer most.
Now in the command log, type
alias -dj "-moveup"
then press enter
and then type
alias +dj "+moveup;4waits;-moveup;4waits;+moveup;4waits"
and press enter
then finally type
bind "SPACE" "+dj"
Once you have completed that, you can now double jump just by pressing space! Walk up to a crate sized-box and just before you run into it press space, you'll gain a nice height.
If you've completed all of the above, you are now set to be a JTrooper!
#3
Recon.
Recon can be vital for matches and training. It's when someone dies, then chase-cam's the person who died and uses the .loc files to automatically say where the enemy is. So first go to the downloads page:
http://thejtroopers.blogspot.co.uk/p/downloads.html and download the location files and replace your current locs folder, with that one.
Next open up your config file and now we need to make some more binds. Paste all of the following into the bottom of your config file.
bind "q" fov 40
- When you press q in game it will give you a better zoom in to see where the enemy is hiding.
bind "e" fov 110
- This is a good field of view and you should normally keep it at this, if you're fov is say, zoomed in, then just press 'e' to zoom back out.
NOW FOR SETTING UP THE RECON ITSELF.
bind "p" "say_team [enemy, $loc_here ]"
- now in game when you press 'p' it will say where you are. So it's important when you get eliminated that you switch to 'camera' observer mode which puts your position to the enemies position.
bind "o" "camera"
- when you press 'o' in-game when you are eliminated you'll be on a 'chasecam'-sort of view. You're position is set to there's so now you can do recon by pressing p.
NOTE: You'll have to toggle through each person until you get the person that you want to get the position of. It'll say 'chasing _namehere_'. That's what the next bind is for.
bind "[" "invnext"
- Now when you press 'o' you'll notice that you are in chase mode, now to toggle to the person you want to chase so you can use the recon, press [ until you get to the right person. Then keep pressing p every time the enemy moves to a certain location, it will then say where the enemy is automatically for you.
Also a neat other little one is
bind "i" "say_team [Me, $loc_here ]"
Now when you are in the middle of a match and not in eliminated mode, press i to tell the team members where you are. It is good for quick thinking. For example say, you are defending the flag, the other member could go and attack knowing that you are watching the flag, etc etc.

Some quick notes:
- When firing a timed nade you can hold the fire button down and release the button when you want the paint nade to explode. Very handy for defense.
- When in a map, fire in popular locations that people normally hide, even if you don't see them there, fire away. This technique is called 'lining' and it is very common in matches. It is fine to spam paint, it's all part of the technique. This is how sometimes, you'll find people get you as soon as you go around a corner.
