Config questions! autogen autoexec ect...
« on: April 11, 2006, 12:46:27 pm »
well i have been playing trem for a little less than a week. I am a bit of a powergamer. I wanted to make some binds that would make it easier to do some things like the itemtoggle itemact command ect.

 Just a few minutes ago i went to look in my autogen.cfg to see some things and i noticed that allmoast all my things in that cfg have been written over and over several times. Right now the cfg is 9kb.....

Now this seems a bit odd to me, i do not really think this was my doing. Is it some sort of bug?

I would like some advice from the experts or powergamers on how i should make and format my cfg's. Im not realy clear on how to do this for a quake 3 based engine.

should i put it all in my autogen? Perhaps an autoexec or seperate cfg?

Do not be afraid to be a bit technical with me lol.

It's normal for autogen.cfg to get overwritten every time you exit the game. You *could* put a bunch of binds in autoexec.cfg, but it is better to make a seperate config file and use autoexec.cfg to run your custom configs.

Make 2 files in the base directory: autoexec.cfg and mindfray.cfg

autoexec.cfg just contains the command: exec mindfray.cfg

and all your binds go into mindfray.cfg. This means you wont have to type in /exec from the console all the time.

Using autoexec like that makes it easy to make seperate sets of binds for aliens and humans. You could have 3 custom configs, say common.cfg, human.cfg and alien.cfg, then have your autoexec.cfg run common.cfg and human.cfg only, and in common.cfg have some binds like these:

bind f9 "team aliens; exec alien.cfg"
bind f12 "team humans; exec human.cfg"

having 3 files will save you headaches later on with vstrs and doublequotes.
