OK, i need a bit of help here. HLDJ works in game for me for indivual binds, but i would like to set up different keys to different binds, but it ain't working. This is what i am trying, whaere have i gone wrong?!

bind UPARROW "bind MOUSE4 >C:\Users\The xxxxx Family\Desktop\games\hldj\hldj_1.5.02b\HLDJ\@Stanlio&Ollio.wav; hldjsf"

(mouse4 works with sample audio and my audio files ingame).

'$' points to whatever Audio Directory has been set for the game. For example, if your audio directory is "C:\HLDJ\Audio" and you want to load "My Audio.wav", you would use ">$\My*Audio.wav" (not ">$\Audio\My*Audio.wav"). For backwards compatibility, it should work with and without the backslash after '$', but it's always better to include it.

I can't seem to get mine to work. F1 is my broadcast key, and I'm trying to set up F3 to be bound to a certain song. I entered:

bind F3 "bind = >G:\TF2*Micspam\ahaha.wav; hldjsf"

And upon pressing F3, I receive this message in console:

bind <key> [command] : attach a command to a key
Host_WriteConfiguration: Wrote cfg/hldj_cmd_c.cfg

F1 continues to be bound to the previous song I selected normally with no change. Each time I press F3 it doesn't do anything but write a new config file. Could you help me out?

It has been noticed that the ":" character causes problems for certain games. The next release will fix this by allowing the use of "|" in place of ":"; until then, use a path that avoids this char, i.e. use "$" to load from the audio dir, or "\" to load from the root dir.

Yep, that fixed it. Thanks a lot.

I'm having trouble using the dramatic method of binding keys to open
a cfg file. I'm using one of my cfg files in the hldj custom folder and
the other is the autoexec from the game. Do the cfg files have to be
in the same folder or in differen't places? I'm really confused, need
some help here.

I use these commands as written is there any problems here?
because i've tried to put the binds in the cfg files but in game
they wont execute.

bind + "exec hldj_custom.cfg"
bind - "exec autoexec.cfg"

You probably want to exec config.cfg not autoexec.cfg.
Secondly, you'll want to place your audio binds in a separate file other than hldj_custom.cfg, Follow the guidelines in #3.

Thanks, had to use another cfg file other than custom.
