| 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. [[the game|The game]] automatically saves your settings to a config file which is automatically loaded when the game starts.
| | The .cfg file type which stands for Context-free grammar is one of the files used to get the game to know when to use certain codes or command to make things work. |
| | | Most players customize there own .cfg files so they don't have to while in game. |
| == Format ==
| |
| A .cfg file is a regular text file, usually renamed to have the extension ".cfg", although 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 [[bind|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.
| |
| * Any cvar changed using [[Cvar|seta]] gets saved to .cfg files.
| |
| | |
| == Related Commands ==
| |
| * The [[write]] command writes a .cfg file
| |
| * The [[exec]] command (mentioned above) executes a given .cfg file
