Editing .cfg

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

== 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 [[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.
* The player can use [[Cvar|seta]] to modify cvars. This makes the modification saved to any written .cfg files.
