cfg question

[Mr.B]

I've been trying to enter some simple console commands such as cl_ragdoll_collide "1" and fps_max "70" and such into my counter-strike source config file. the problem is when I play, none of the commands I type in take effect, I have to type them myself in the console everytime I play.

Now this is really annoying and a pain in the ass. I will go to check my config file after and the commands I entered and saved are now gone. Am I doing something wrong? Is there a diferent file I should be entering these commands into so that I do not have to re-type them everytime I play?

set the config to 'read only' then steam wont reset it (but you have to disable this for updates)

 

[Mr.B]

I'm guessing this is the only way?

 

[bliink]

either that, or create an autoexec.cfg file somewhere.

 

[Mr.B]

would you care to go into detail? or do I just create a file with this name in the same directory as my config?

Create a file called autoexec.cfg with same same stuff you want to run everytime you start Counter Strike Source

 

[bliink]

yeah.. not sure where.. but i would guess with some .exe's

 

[Mr.B]

thanks alot guys. this was really buggin me

autoexec.cfg goes in your
C:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\YOUREMAILGOESHERE\counter-strike source\cstrike\cfg

 

[Mr.B]

now do I just name like a notepad file autoexec.cfg? or should I copy an existing cfg type file and edit that?

sorry im new to this

 

[MultiVaC]

just use notepad.

And when you're about to save it make sure the drop down box is "all file types" and not "text".
