Weapon Settings acting as default, no matter WHAT I do...

Hello,

I'm new here, as well as new to creating servers in general using Quake. I've played Arena for a while, but recently I've wanted to be able to create my own Railgun-specific server. I'm trying to use Excessive Plus, but whenever I run my custom configuration file, the weapon settings (as well as health, items, etc.) act as the default settings. I'm fairly certain this is a problem on my end, and I was wondering what I am doing wrong.

Here is a configuration file, I renamed to default.cfg, in hopes of it being the problem:
[code:1]set sv_hostname "^4www.^1BucksBox^4.co.cc ^5[RAIL FR4GS]"
set sv_maxclients "6"
set sv_privateClients "0"
set sv_pure "0"
set sv_allowdownload "1"
set sv_maxrate "20000"
set sv_minping "0"
set sv_maxping "400"
set sv_master1 "master0.gamespy.com"
set sv_master2 "master3.idsoftware.com"
set sv_master3 "master0.excessiveplus.net"
set sv_master4 "master.quake3arena.com"
set sv_master5 "q3master.allseeingeye.com"
set sv_privatePassword ""
set g_password ""
set rconpassword ""
set bot_enable "0"
set bot_minplayers "0"
set bot_nochat "1"
set bot_groundonly "1"
set bot_rocketjump "1"

set xp_rotation "rotation.txt"
set xp_config "crs.cfg"
set xp_motd "railmotd.txt"
set xp_multijumps "5"
set xp_chatProtection "3"
set g_gametype "0"
set fraglimit "0"
set timelimit "25"
set capturelimit "0"
set g_friendlyFire "0"
set g_doWarmup "1"
set g_warmup "10"
set g_inactivity "60"
set g_weaponrespawn "3"
set g_forcerespawn "0"
set g_speed "350"
set g_gravity "800"
set g_teamForceBalance "0"
sets Administrator "www.BucksBox.co.cc"
sets Email "oasisnin@aol.com"
sets URL "www.BucksBox.co.cc"
set g_allowVote "0"
set xp_vote "map_restart,nextmap,map,g_gametype,kick,g_warmup,g_dowarmup,timelimit,fraglimit,capturelimit,xp.cfg,magnum.cfg,excessive1.cfg,excessive2.cfg,excessive3.cfg,excessive4.cfg,default.cfg,physics,unlagged"
set g_log "games.log"

// User defined variables

map q3dm17[/code:1]

And my weapon configuration code:
[code:1]

Config {
Name:"rail4ever space station, version 10a";
Date:"20080306";
Author:"glizda <gigo>";
}

Misc {
Unlagged:1;
Physics:2;
Solids:0;
Default Weapon:0;
Start Weapons:65;
Start Powerups:0;
Weapons:0;
Items:0;
Ammos:0;
Powerups:0;
Spawn Protection:0;
Multi Jumps:3;
DM Flags:83;
Gib:1;
Corpse Time:0;
Respawn Time:1400;
Chat Protection:3;
Mute Spectators:0;
Switch Time:1;
Health:20;
Anti Camp {
Time:7;
Radius:300;
Damage:10;
}
}

Weapons {
Suicide {
Damage:0;
Radius:0;
Style:0;
}
Gauntlet {
Cycle:400;
Damage:900000;
SwitchTime:0;
}
Railgun {
Cycle:700;
Damage:900000;
Regen:5000;
Radius:150;
Knockback:120;
Bounce:0;
}
}[/code:1]

To set up the server, I launch Quake III. I go to the Mods section, select the excessive plus mod, and quickly set up a dedicated server. Then, in the console, I type: exec default.cfg

And...the weapons settings are still at the defaults...any ideas?

Thanks.

Kind Regards,

set xp_config "conf/crs.cfg" maybe that's what you need to edit.

I moved the crs.cfg to the same location as the default.cfg, again, as hopes to solve the problem. Unfortunately, it didn't. Any other ideas?

Thanks for the reply. Happy

Kind Regards,

\rcon load conf/crs.cfg

also make sure you do not call your cfg with protected names, those are:

baseq3.cfg
magnum.cfg
excessive#.cfg

I am proud of spreading a pirated Excessive Plus version and claim to be the original author, yay!

/exec default.cfg - I think u loaded default player settings this way from .pk3 file.

Change the name for server settings config and exec it after u load e+ mod (or from shortcut/autoexec.cfg).
It will set the weapon config location with xp_config "conf/crs.cfg"; crs.cfg should be placed in "conf" folder then.
