Hi Guys,
I've read some of the comments but I can't seem to find info on the 1.5 autoexec.cfg and config.cfg files.
I don't use buy scripts, but just have a script for toggle walking and crouching, crough jump and changing crosshair colour.
They are in my original CS directory.... do they need to be put elsewhere as well so they work?
TIA

Put them in a file called userconfig.cfg and put the file in your cstrike folder.
The last line of your config.cfg file (also in that folder) should read:
exec userconfig.cfg
HTH
Thanks OB.
You mean I amalgamate both the autoexec and config files together and then rename them?
If so, should one be first followed by the other in any particular order?
TIA

no, do not change config.cfg as it'll be modified by steam on every setting change.
Instead just use userconfig.cfg and place all of your custom binds in there. You can also call other config files from the userconfig.cfg eg exec myconfig.cfg
A good tip is to copy all of the bind entries from the config.cfg file and place them in a file called keys.cfg and then edit them to be the way you want.
In your userconfig.cfg file put a line that says "exec keys.cfg" which will load your binds and if you followed the thread on aliases you would also put in a call to "exec aliases.cfg" at the same time.
This allows you to mod your binds/aliases to your hearts content without steam overwriting it. in short, assume that anythinh you put in config.cfg will get lost (including rates)
Sorry guys, I know I'm being *really* obtuse but I still don't get it.
I think this is what you're saying.
With 1.5 you had an autoexec.cfg file which has things like:
alias +DuckJump "+jump; +duck"
alias -DuckJump "-duck; -jump"
bind "KP_INS" "+DuckJump"
then you had the config.cfg file which tells the PC which keys do what.
You're now saying that I
copy my old autoexec.cfg file into a new file called userconfig.cfg
copy my old config.cfg files into that same userconfig.cfg file
at the end of the existing config.cfg file I type exec userconfig.cfg
Is that right? It still doesn't work for me.
Sorry for being dumb and I appreciate the help

HaXor.... :P
P.S. It wont hurt if while your ingame you type 'exec userconfig.cfg' in the console, and make sure the file is actually a .cfg file and not just a text file called userconfig.cfg (the real name would then be userconfig.cfg.txt.)
Hi m8.
OK, here is what I have done...
I have a config.cfg file that is the default CS1.6 file. I ignore it completely apart from putting "exec userconfig.cfg" at the end of it.
I then installed RZEs CS Helper (from here (http://csnation.counter-strike.net/rze/aliases/helper.html))
In userconfig.cfg I have 2 lines:
line 1 is "exec keys.cfg" which has all the key binds I copied out of my CS1.5 setup plus stuff for shields etc
line 2 is "exec blueball.cfg" which loads my buyscripts (see here for initial discussion (http://forum.deadmen.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=2776&view=findpost&p=27293) and here for the updated version (http://forum.deadmen.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=2776&view=findpost&p=28627))
Additionally you can put any other aliases or changes (such as rate settings) in the userconfig.cfg.
In short, config .cfg is the default config and userconfig.cfg is how you, the user, would really like it to be. I do think that it is a neat solution and keeps things tidy, once you realise what they have done. PS You can put everything I have in keys.cfg and blueball.cfg directly into userconfig.cfg. I just prefer splitting things up as it is more manageable this way (eg, all your binds in one file, all your aliases in another). I should really make a file called network.cfg and put my rate settings there but I'm lazy...
Hope that helps?
Thanks for the help guys.
I am managed to get it working afaik - although it's taking so long to join a game it's normally full by the time steam loads :nevermind:
Thanks
