Hey geeks and gals. I was wondering if anyone else has found  a way to make customized macros for performing additional functions within SCP? This is what I'm trying to do. I like to use the tilda and 0 or 9 to change my primary weapon to the Mass driver or Gauss Cannon, etc... I didn't see any shortcut options within the configuration menu that would allow me to assign this function to my controller. Does anyone have any experience with this? I'd appreciate any advice you could give me. Freespace Rocks!

I mean, what are you asking for? There's a cheat to freely switch weapons, but beyond that, you will have to fly missions with the loadout you're given, Pilot.

These are the Blue Planet mass driver and gauss cannon? Don't you have to use cheats to access those?

There aren't any rapid hotkeys to activate cheats so far as I know.

[...] customized macros for performing additional functions within SCP

Sounds like scripting?

Er... you can reassign your keys from the Options menu. Are you... wait, what?

No, it's no good. I don't understand what you're asking. Please rephrase your question.

He wants a way to use the cheat commands via a non-keyboard input device. I understand now!

He just wants to be able to execute multiple commands (such as C-3-1) with just a single click of say, button X on the controller. Inputting cheats is just an example, in which the macro would type `+www.freespace2.com to activate cheats, or `+9 or `+0 to switch weapons.

I think your macros have to be built into your devices, or you'd have to use a third-party application.
I don't think FSO supports macros.

[The E]

Yeah, FSO itself has no support for it. If, however, you have a macro-capable keyboard, that should work.
