config files and commands

[543DoublePlay]

Hello all, I have been trying to run quake 1 ctf. I remember I used to be able to exec my config file at the console when I got on a server.

My question is: When I am altering the txt. document for the commands, is there a place I can go to get a whole list of the different commands?

For instance, I used to be able to have my grappling hook as my second mouse button. It didn't matter what weapon I had, but If I pressed the "second mouse button" it would automatically switch to grappling hook and fire it. Same went for all my other weapons. I forget all these commands though. Anyone have any advice?

bind mouse2 "impulse 22"

And for weapon binds... impulse 1 though 8. 1 is axe and 8 is thunderbolt... I'm sure you can figure out the rest. To bind a key to switch to a weapon and fire it automatically:

bind "mwheelup" "impulse 6; wait; +attack; wait; -attack"

This will switch to GL and fire one off. I don't think there's a way to return to your previous weapon, but you can stick another impulse x at the end to switch to another weapon:

bind "mwheelup" "impulse 6; wait; +attack; wait; -attack; wait; impulse 7"

This will switch to GL, fire one off, then switch to RL.

Thanks for the commands guys. When I get on the server, i type the command... exec config.cfg and it says It cannot exec config.cfg. I think I have the config file in all the folders....I cant remember which one it should be in.....any ideas of what the problem is?

it should load auto

it should load auto

I thought it would too. When I get onto the server all the commands I put in my config file dont register. Like the command +mlook, I get on the server and have to type it in the console when I put the command in my config file.

Just so I get this right, its the config.cfg file that I need to make changes in right?

[monoz]

put +mlook in autoexec.cfg

in Qrack you can use m_look 1 or freelook 1, normally in other clients +mlook wont get saved to config.cfg when you quit the game.

Make sure your "config.cfg" is not saved as config.cfg.txt or config.txt

Exactly what Rambo said. That sounds like it's the issue. Do you have extensions hidden in Windows? Like when you save a bitmap as grunt
Does it appear as:
grunt or grunt.bmp
when viewing in a folder. If it's grunt you will have to uncheck "hide extensions for known file types" (what it's called in XP) to ensure you're not getting config.cfg.txt
