It is now common knowledge that the alias command has been removed from Quake3 so as to stop many types of alias command string cheats. However there is a very useful command new to Quake3 that allows a string of commands albeit limited in length. The command is vstr and in order to show you how it works we have used it to recreate a weapon type cycle alias of Quake2 along with other examples. If you are interested in other scripts you may also wish to visit The Bind at PlanetQuake. Predator has created an excellent Quake3 menu that has over 1050 commands and many scripts that can be easily accessed and navigated with only a few keys, for more information visit the Quake3 Menu website.
