Re: Autoexec.cfg start after first death!

You talk about models... can you show us what you are trying to do in your autoexec.cfg? Where is the autoexec.cfg located? ("baseq3" or "excessiveplus")

Re: Autoexec.cfg start after first death!

actually, cg_fov, models and so on should appear after you press tab,
when you start q3 game autoexec is executing by itself, and its named that way for a reason.

autoexec.cfg should be located in
quake3/excessiveplus
if you put it in the conf folder then you're doing it wrong

Try using seta instead of set. This will write your custom settings into the q3config.cfg so they will be instantly available.

Re: Autoexec.cfg start after first death!

If you speak about models not being loaded before the first scores screen, that's known. The config file is executed exactly when you write it in the console. But the models won't load right then.

Sometimes it happens if you switch the configs too much in the same map. What you should do if you don't see the right models after exec is to press the key to show the scores. This will trigger an event for reloading the models in case they haven't already.

This is a quake 3 issue and has nothing to do with the mod.
However this doesn't happen very often.

auto charge?
if you have problems running config, execute it manually with /exec autoexec
if you say... that config changes from default to your autoexec config settings only after first death, means you executed it while playing, this means, that your autoexec cfg is either not cfg but txt file maybe.
otherwise autoexec should execute itself on startup.
or you have a typo in the configname

edit: what epsi said, and send me your config, i'll correct it if needed

To avoid this problem I bind in my q3config.cfg.
bind 1 "exec vstr.cfg"
Then I can access to bind 4 "vid_restart" in my vstr.cfg.
And I press 1 and 4 everytime Quake is launched for the first time.
Maybe I should do "activeaction exec vstr.cfg;vid_restart". Never thought about it yet.

The effect is amazing.Everytime i'm entering in a new match,are be charged my first models with tankjir and brightskins.As if the game had memory of my first autoexec.cfg.I remove q3config.cfg.But the problem is the same with new one autogenerated.This is my autoexec:seta xp_country "IT"seta xp_name "^x00FF00^f#CD^f^xFFFFFF#EF^f^xFF0000^f^xFF0000#CE^f^x00CCFF#CF#D8#C5"bind MOUSE1 +attackbind MOUSE2 +zoombind F3 readybind k killbind F11 screenshotjpegbind f say ^2:)bind r say ^2Sorry :(bind h say ^2Hi!

I think it's all correct...
