To bind your hook: Pick a handy but unused key. Personally, I use the "C" key but you can use any key you want. While in the game, open the console with the "~" key, located next to the "1" key. Type the following:

bind x +hook

where "x" is the key you wish to use. Press the <Enter> key, and then close the console with the "~" key again.

The Hook will attach to whichever spot is lined up in your crosshairs. Point the crosshairs at a wall or pole or the sky or any stationary object and hold down the key you have just assigned. When it makes contact, you should hear a "click" sound and then you will be pulled to that spot. You will remain hooked until you release the key. Also, you can try releasing the hook before you get to the contact point and then re-hooking further on down. By repeating this action you can, as I said, practically fly through the map.

The hook can also be used as a weapon, although not a very powerful one. Point at an opponent and press the hook key. It will only do minor damage, but will drop his health and/or armor so he is easier to kill with other means. Also can be used when you run out of ammo in your weapons. One sure way to increase the power of the hook dramatically is to pick up the Super Hook Rune. When you have this rune, the hook flies faster, pulls you faster, and does major damage when used as a weapon. And this brings me to the other topic, that of Runes.

bind y runestatus---------------bind z droprune-----------of course using the keys you have selected in place of "y" and "z"

With the "runestatus" key, you can find out which rune you presently have. The "droprune" key will allow you to drop your current rune so you can pick up a different one. You will develop a preference for certain runes for different situations, so try them all out instead of just settling on a couple to start with. As with all Oz servers, the Server Administrator has a lot of control over the options, so all runes may not be available in all servers.
