VGS System

[JustinPierce]

The VGS system is a communication tool in Arms of Telos that offers quick shortcuts to common strategic communications. In the future, there will be audio dialog that plays.

You open up the menu with V, then tap the corresponding keys to get to what you want to say:

• A: Attack
  • F: Capture the enemy flag!
  • B: Attack the enemy base!
  • C: Return our flag!
• D: Defend
  • F: Defend our flag!
  • B: Defend our base!
  • C: Defend our flag carrier!
• S: Self
  • A: I'm attacking
  • D: I'm defending
  • F: I'm going for the flag
  • S: I'll be support
  • H: Need a heal!
• W: Warn
  • F: Our flag is exposed!
  • E: Incoming hostiles!
  • S: Our flag is secure!
• R: Request
  • S: Is our base secure?
• V: Response
  • Y: Yes
  • N: No
  • G: Got it!
  • D: Declined
  • S: Sorry!
  • A: Awesome job!
  • T: Thanks!
• G: Global
  • Y: Yes
  • N: No
  • T: Thanks!
  • W: WOOHOO!
  • S: Shazbot!
  • G: Good game!
  • H: Hi!
  • R: Ready up!
  • B: Bye!
  • A: Awesome Job!

Upon sending, each radio tagline above is accompanied by a pre-recorded voice message by the developer Justin Pearce.

Reserving second post

As mentioned in another post about keybinds, it would be amazing to be able to bind the VGS system to the numpad. So 0 could be the trigger instead of V, etc. For players with gamepads similar to Razer Nostromo, the keyboard-VGS bind is hard to use, while the mouse is usually close to the numpad and allows faster reaction.

Right now you can switch the V key to something else, but the other keys are hardcoded. Depending on your setup, maybe you could use some OS level keyboard input customizer? If you want to rebind the other keys for VGS (or want to create macros in an .ini or whatever), please make a thread in the Feature Request Category
