A '''CFG''', or '''configuration file''', is a .cfg document that allows the player to group a list of [[command|commands]], or change numerous [[cvar|cvars]] simultaneously. | |||
== Format == | |||
Generically, a .cfg file is a regular text file, renamed to have the extension ".cfg", however, this is not required. The text file is then modified and filled with content, like so | |||
{| class="wikitable" | |||
|- | |||
| [insert any commands/cvars]<br />[on a new line, add the next command/cvar modification] | |||
|} | |||
The finished .cfg file can then be placed in [[PK3|.pk3]] file, or the [[Base Folder|base folder]]. | |||
== Execution == | |||
In order to execute a configuration file, type the following into the [[console]]: | |||
{| class="wikitable" | |||
|- | |||
| exec [cfg name (no '.cfg' is required] | |||
|} | |||
However, if you decided to create a configuration with another extensions, like .txt, then you must include the '.txt' in the cfg name. | |||
== Special Configuration Files == | |||
* A configuration file titled 'autoexec.cfg' is automatically executed on game start. | |||
* 'default.cfg' and 'mpdefault.cfg' are used in [[JKA]] to set the binds for the game. | |||
* In JKA, 'JASP.cfg' and 'JAMP.cfg' are created when the respective game is played, and they store the session's information there. | |||
* The player can use [[Cvars|seta]] to modify cvars. This makes the modification saved to any written .cfg files. | |||
== Related Commands == | |||
* The [[write]] command writes a .cfg file | |||
* The [[exec]] command (mentioned above) executes a desired .cfg file | |||
