Problems exec files.

[Remix]

Hey all, I've tried to exec a txt file, I've put it inside the base folder, and the regular folder, but when I go into tremulous and try to exec it, it won't work. Where do I need to put the file? And do I have to rename it?

Thanks.

Try this:
Save as then at the save screen were txt stands select all files and save it as namehere.cfg

Or in coherent english, rename your file extension to .cfg, as opposed to .txt

on linux, u can just rename file extensions without any trouble, but on windows, u might have to go into control panel -> folder options -> view tab -> then uncheck "hide extensions for known file types"

actually when you drop down the menu in save as a unicode text file with the name as "filename.cfg"

heres an example of the one for my alien.cfg

I still can't exec the file, I successfully renamed it to <name>.cfg, and when I go into Tremulous, I still can't exec it. Although it says it's a cfg. file, it says it's a text document too.

that's because the default windows configuration removes extensions from files and refuses to let you change them (your file is named <name>.cfg.txt), i'll leave it up to someone who actually uses windows to explain how to disable that.

sometimes i have to go to the file and right click it then go to properties, rename it there allowing extensions; or set your computer to allow extentions in the control panel

Also, you need to set it to be plain text not Unicode.
