Title: custom cfg files not working
Post by: bloodandsoil on November 11, 2007, 10:56:47 am

Hi I'm trying to get some custom cfg file working.  Here is the info:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Tremulous\base\human.cfg

Code: [Select]

bind w “+forward;boost”
bind s “+back;boost”
bind a “+moveleft;boost”
bind d “+moveright;boost”

C:\Program Files (x86)\Tremulous\base\alien.cfg

Code: [Select]

bind w “+forward”
bind s “+back”
bind a “+moveleft”
bind d “+moveright”

In game, at the console, I can "\exec human.cfg" or "\exec alien.cfg" and it says "execing human.cfg" or "execing alien.cfg"...but when I look at my "\bindlist" none of the binds get updated.

Thanks.

You placed them in the wrong directory?

Since it has told you that the cfg has been executed I will assume that the cfg files are in the right directory.

However I am not familiar with "/bindlist" but try typing "/bind w" in the console, it should tell you what W has been bound to. Hopefully it's been changed

Try putting echo "human.cfg loaded" at the bottom of the relevant files to make sure that the commands are running ok.

When he posted this to the forum i told him (in-game) that the problems was the smart quotes.
He replied "it's a vista problem because it won't let me use the normal ones" and disconected

So i think he already gave up on this :P

Interesting, so the Idiot already knew the answer to his problem and failed to mention the most important little piece of information here?

Is this a way to turn boost on by default?  If so, it'd be nice, but how would you turn it off for conserving it for later?

bind w "+forward; boost"
About turning it off.. you could put that in a second .cfg and exec it when you need it then exec the autogen when not.
