I have trouble with my q3config.cfg Sad
I wanna change some things in it - I can do that and the changes are also saved.
BUT when I start q3, I have the old q3config.cfg (without changes).
WHY?? I saved the new q3config.cfg to the baseq3 and e+ folder!! But my Q3 starts with the old 1 Sad
I also tryed to start Q3 without q3config.cfg
I deleted the .cfg from baseq3 and e+ folder -> every1 knows: if someone do that Q3 makes a new 1 ==> BUT NOT my Q3!! WHY??
It's starts with NO q3config.cfg in baseq3 and e+ folder!?!? BUT have the DELETED q3config.cfg!!!!!
do you have any ideas?

Re: q3config.cfg trouble

this cfg is static, i.e. it resides in mod's pk3 and is always loaded from there. to use changed version, copy the cfg under different name, make changes and load it specifying that different name you chose.

disregard that, confused title lol Big grin

Re: q3config.cfg trouble

However, if u change something save it as "autoexec.cfg" and put it in ur baseq3 folder.

Why people never learn that...

Re: q3config.cfg trouble

I was not up to offend you, the last sentence was a general statement.

It would help, since q3 loads a autoexec.cfg automatically and overwrites whatever u have in ur q3config.cfg, no matter where ur q3config.cfg is saved.

The biggest advantage of an autoexec.cfg, it is much easier to design it, and commands are much easier to find. Q3 doesn't overwrite it again and again. So u can add explanations, give it structure etc.

Re: q3config.cfg trouble

the only disadvantage are the latched commands and that whenever you need to change something, you need to open your autoexec.cfg and enter it manually? Tongue
