if there is a mistake in the cfg, it will stop at that point.

so i imagine its something to do with my vstr binds
i've took them out and it works

cbuf_inserttext overflowed is an error which means the filesize of your cfg was too large for Quake to execute it. It's sad that you deleted your variable strings because with some tweaking you could have kept them and just deleted other mostly-useless stuff that goes in non-handmade cfgs, like in-game browser settings, soundcard settings you may not need (occ bloat factor and shite), xp variables only for running a server...

The list of things which don't need to be in your cfg is long But the maximum filesize for a q3 config file is I believe 53kb. Don't quote me, I may be wrong. Anyway, if you want to make the cfg execute automatically rename it autoexec.cfg and store it in your Excessive Plus directory.

The game engine will load it when you start E+ mod then. Hope this helps.

Yes necro is right, its cos the file is too big (you need to trim it down to about 15kb ideally cos the maximum allowed size is actually just over 15 k not 53 (small mistake, the rest of necro s post has context)... Hope you kept a backup !

Thnx for clarification, Tem I was too lazy to search the threads for exact size.

If you want help with vstrs or anything else cfg related there are some on the forums who can help make it easier. Maybe even me.

I think it's possible to put any number of execute cmds into your autoexec, so I would try it. I've never tried it myself.
