How do I make a config-file, that holds my weapons & action binds.??

[Lethal_1]

Hi there ...

I know " How To Bind " actions & weapon binds in the console  ... But for some reason, I lose them when I exit.??

" How do I create a " Config File " for each of the Mods, ie; Wod, Lithium, Chaos etc ... So I don't have to keep typing those binds in the console, on each visit.?? "

Will I have to create 1 in every Mod Folder, or can I just put the 1 in the main Quake II Folder.?? - Been playing for over 10 years now, it's getting annoying, re-binding all the time.!!

Love some help here guys ...
Might even have to move over to " W A S D " keys for playing instead of my Up Down Left Right Arrows 4 more options.?? - I'll work on it ... In the meantime, looking forward to replies, Cheer's.!!

stick the binds in an autoexec.cfg text file that resides in the folder of the mod you're playing (eg baseq2 or tourney), and everything in that file will be loaded up automatically. Google around, there's plenty of helpful information

In each mod's folder find a file called config.cfg

Open that file using wordpad or notepad.

Insert the commands like bind key "use blaster;use machinegun;use chaingun;use railgun"

I think you can also create a file called autoexec.cfg and input your binds/aliases into that file and drop a copy of it into all your mod's folders.

Aarrhh ... OK ... I've seen that " autoexec.cfg " file in there ...
I thought if U bind in that mod, it'll add it to that autoexec.cfg file.?? (obviously it doesn't hey.?) - Cool ... Now I know ... Cheer's ...

Thankyou very much ... So does that mean I can bind more than 1 weapon to that key.?? - If so ... COOL.!!
I'm guessing that if I don't have that weapon, it'll goto the next weapon for that key bind.? - Otherwise, each time the key is pressed, it'll pick the next weapon.??

ALSO; I have heard about these " Alias's ".?? - Have no idea what they are, or how to use them.? - Are they similar to " Binds ".?? - Does this improve your gaming.??

Thanks again guys ... Appreciate the helping hand ... Cheer's ...

check these out. Ive kinda commented them out a bit so it may give you some ideas as to the many things you can bind and how aliases work.

feel free to copy anything out that you want to use.


I have all of these copied into every mod directory and the baseq2, so I'm setup pretty much the same, no matter what.
if a certain mod needs certain binds tho, you can just edit the one in that mod's directory.

Wow.?? - Thankyou very much Whirlingdervish(Q2C) ...
So is this what U play on, with these binds.?? - Some of it is confusing coz I've never used it, but it's very interesting to me.!!
Look's like I will have to move over too the " W A S D " keys for more options on the binds.!! - Change a few binds, but it all looks good.!! - Thanks.!!

Lethal....


When you use a "bind" you can have it check a sequence for the "best" weapon you want for that keystroke...

My bind that I sent you uses the last item...seperated by the ";"... as the primary function for that bind.

Basically... it selects my railgun as the first priority...and assuming I hit someone...I press that button again and it choses the next weapon back from the primary...which would be the machinegun.

I have tailored my basic binds to suit my game style...hit 'em hard then finish them off with a basic weapon.

if you need to learn more...check out the training division of this board.

Thankyou " Sigma " ...

Just checking out the Traning Division section now ... Glad to know I can bind more than 1 weapon for the key.!!

Personally I like to knock emm off as fasst as I can.!! - But I know what U mean ' your way ', it's the humiliation-factor.!! - Hehehe ... Cool ...

Thanks again ... Cheer's ...

R u sure ur config.cfg isnt write protected?

The binds wont be saved in the file if it is.

Btw, u can make an autoexec.cfg in every
mod folder and they will exec automatic when
u wanna play the mod u have choosed to play.

Good luck.
