config.cfg

[James Isaac]

I keep adding these lines to the end of config.cfg:

cl_ragdoll_collide "1"
cl_c4dynamiclight "1"
cl_allowdownload "0"

They seem the work the first time i start CSS, but then after that they just disappear from the file. Last time, I added them, played it and it worked fine. Then I started it up again, and noticed that it said in the console

"Execing config.cfg
Cannot use cheats in multiplayer unless server has cvar cheats set to 1
Cannot use cheats in multiplayer unless server has cvar cheats set to 1"

Or something like that, so I go and look, and the lines have disappeared from the file again. I didn't add any cheats... How do I get them to stay?

Maybe it has something to do with the patch, I'm gonna check it out.

make a new confiig file in the same directory called userconfig.cfg
add those lines into that file and then make t read only
then add the line "exec userconfig.cfg" to your config.cfg file
see if this helps

No... doesn't work anymore I just tried.

With their patch they completely disabled all "cheat" cvars... like the 3Dskybox, and other performance related cvars.

I can't believe this shit. What a ****ing joke.

The lines I added did not disappear, even after the update. I played CS last night after the update and my lines executed fine. All I did was set my original config.cfg to read-only.

ch0ke is on the right track, but you can make an autoexec.cfg in the same folder as config.cfg and it will be automatically executed. Just put any commands you want into in autoexec.cfg and you'll be set.

But when your steam updates it replaces (atleast it has done in the past) config.cfg, which means you 'exec userconfig.cfg' would no longer be there and your config will no longer run. So if you use the 1st method make sure you put the exec line back in after each patch.

autoexec.cfg is called by default in valve.rc (i think thats the file) so you will never have the problem of your config not execing.

So should I make the config file read only? Will that keep the lines in? Or is that bad, because it means Steam can't update it in a patch...

just create a autoexec.cfg (it says in the valve.rc that it is autoexec.cfg)

and if your getting
Cannot use cheats in multiplayer unless server has cvar cheats set to 1
Cannot use cheats in multiplayer unless server has cvar cheats set to 1

2 of the 3 commands are most likely cheats in the cvar list, so the server wont enable you to use them.
