Have you ever wondered why your q3config.cfg resets by itself?
Well, seems like that if your q3config.cfg 's file size exceeds:
Size: 15,9 KB (16 365 bytes) then it will reset the config

(if you are using Windows and look the file size under properties don't
look the "Size on disk" part, instead look the "Size".)

autoexec.cfg doesn't seem to suffer this limitation.

I hope this helps someone. Tongue

Yes, that helps you from changing the config accidently.
I tried that also it wont help to prevent the reset.

Eehh? I didn't ask for help, I just told to let someone else know if they are
having the same problem that I did.

Damn you mowly, I was gonna say the exact same after seeing author "LeeLoo" hehe:P.
But anyways since he's banned from 9/10 servers it won't bother me if he can play again cuz i'll probably never see him.
If you want to play without it resetting everytime, make a config named : Autoexec.cfg.
2. in Autoexec.cfg type: seta /exec "pornography.cfg"
3. In your quake 3 arena config folder right click and select "New"
4. Make a new wordpad file and name it "Pornography.cfg".
5. Now copy the settings from q3config to "pornography.cfg" and edit it to your likings.
6. Save the file and you are finished, no resetting the picmip and whatever you put in it.

Good luck, fucker.

Signed, Lee.

cheater or not cheater, i dont know and i dont want to know.

but i do know that radar/leeloo helped us all improving our movement in ctf, he always shared "new"/his special jumps and gave us useful hints.

i dont want to excuse his behaviour if he really cheated (my personal opinion doesnt matter here), but nevertheless playing with him was always fun.
