Problems with cfg
9. June 2009 - 22:28
Hi people,
I'm sorry to ask but I got troubles with my cfg (the same troubles than shadow monkey below) but the problem is not the size of my cfg (9,15ko)...
I don't know why my customized cfg doesn't work whereas I put it in the e+ and baseq3 folder...
Here some informations which could be of use to you
- I'm back at q3 for 2 years being away (that explains my difficulties to overcome this problem) so I get back my old customized cfg and now I got a new computer (new grafic adapter ...)
- almost each folders (ex: "excessive", "arena" folders) from "Quake III arena" folder contains a "q3config.cfg" file (which is a default cfg)...is it normal ?
Hope you could help me and sorry for disturbing

your config should be executable via console then. are you sure you typed the name of the cfg correctly while executing it? 
just call your config "autoexec.cfg" -makes things much easier.

could be a factor, that causes your problem. check if you have some 'special' settings included in your cfg like display refreshrate or custom resolutions. if yes, set them to values, your new pc can handle as well.

yes it is. the q3config file is automaticly created by q3 after your config was executed or in case, that there was no other cfg before (as default cfg).
check the q3config file, to see if some of your custom settings are in there, to be sure, that your custom cfg is actually beeing executed.

Problems with cfg
I /exec your cfg, and no errors there. All Fine.
- Does it write something in console when u exec ur cfg at your PC?
- What are the symptoms ?
- Other cfg's work? try Ultima's cfg,should give you +30% railskill 
ps: if other's cfgs workin fine at u, just ask them to import into a copy of their cfg , the values from ur cfg,and send it 2 u

- When I /exec my cfg, "execing q3config" is written in console
- symptom is : customized cfg doesn't work : binds, name, skin...don't work...(for example: I can't see Tankjr as enemymodel...and all that mess !)
- I'd like to try another cfg but the problem is : I don't have another cfg...sorry for this noobish question but : where could I find Ultima'cfg u're talking about ?
Okay I put here screenshots of baseq3 and excessiveplus folders' content...you will maybe find some mistakes inside (both "q3config" files are the customized cfg)

anyway, thx for helping dudes....this mess gets on my nerves

Problems with cfg
Hydra, the only problem i see is:
seta xp_vote "map_restart,nextmap,map,g_gametype,kick,g_warmup,g_dowarmup,timelimit,fraglimit
As you see, you forgot 2 put the " at end of line. This can cause disableing of all CC written below. But as you also see, you dont have many important CCs there, like enemymodel,etc.
WHAT U DO is:
-copy all your cfg from this thread,and instead of paste the content into Q3config.cfg, paste it into a new cfg, f.e: hydra.cfg,where u do the /exec hydra in game.
ps: q3config in some cases,can autodelete a part of it's content.From my practice I know q3config is untrastable.

Who's online
There are currently 1 user and 19 guests online.
I'm sure of it : when I type "/exec q3config" in the console, "execing q3config" is written
I tried to call my cfg "autoexec" but then comes an "OpenGL" error and q3 can't launch...so I call back "autoexec" to "q3config" (and then q3 launch correctly)
Okay...hmm well, I'm a kinda noob with all that stuff...to tell the truth I don't understand anything with cfg values setting (except how setting binds and easy stuff like "enemy model .."
May you (or someone else) tell me what I have to change in my cfg ?
So..hmm, will it help you if I paste here my customized cfg's content?
