Config Help...

[Wazzerphuk]

Right, I have a little problem that some of you config gurus will be able to fix no problem.

Basically, I want for each weapon to have its own mouse sensitivity. Now, I know the command... "bind e "weapon 7" ; seta sensitivity 7"... but the problem is whenever I add this to my wepaons, quake decides it doesn't want anything new in my config and deletes it.

A way around this is setting it up so it's read from another config file, containing just the weapon details. The problem is - I cannot get this to work.

How would I go about having this done, all exec'd automatically (eg everytime the game starts).

Some help would be much appreciated... thanks.

Waz, u just make a file

autoexec.cfg

and put it in baseq3 directory.
Anything in this file will exec when you start q3.
I remember you saying before that you had trouble with ur configs, so check that q3config.cfg is not read only. Also, in windows explorer make sure under the 'file type' column that your config files are type 'cfg'. If they say 'txt' it could be that notepad saved it as autoexec.cfg.txt, for example. Easiest way to edit the file extension is in dos using the 'ren' command.
If this doesnt work, ya system or you have gone bonkers

Putting the weapon information in autoexec.cfg has done a total of 0.

Information in autoexec.cfg:

bind 1 "weapon 1" ; seta sensitivity 10
bind 2 "weapon 2" ; seta sensitivity 8
bind r "weapon 3" ; seta sensitivity 9
bind MWHEELUP "weapon 4" ; seta sensitivity 10
bind q "weapon 5" ; seta sensitivity 10
bind f "weapon 6" ; seta sensitivity 8
bind e "weapon 7" ; seta sensitivity 7
bind MWHEELDOWN "weapon 9" ; seta sensitivity 9

And this has done nothing... I removed the weapon info from q3config.cfg, and this wouldn't work - with or without. And q3 is STILL reverting to putting everything back even if I delete it for no reason. And no, read-only is not on.

bind MWHEELDOWN "weapon 9" ; seta sensitivity 9

Ok, next thing .....

bind 1 "weapon 1" ; seta sensitivity 10

should read

bind 1 "weapon 1 ; seta sensitivity 10"

note movement of "

Secondly, put the following line right at the bottom of your autoexec.cfg

echo "^1YES THE AUTOEXEC IS WORKING"

and save the file.
Now when you load q3, look at the console as all the info scolls by and if you see YES THE AUTOEXEC IS WORKING come up, the autoexec is execing. If it doesnt, type

/exec autoexec

at the console and you should then see the message.
Lemme know what happens.
