A CFG, or configuration file, is a .cfg document that allows the player to group a list of commands, or change numerous cvars simultaneously. The game automatically saves your settings to a config file which is automatically loaded when the game starts.
Format[edit]
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
| [insert any commands/cvars] [on a new line, add the next command/cvar modification] |
The finished .cfg file can then be placed in .pk3 file, or the base folder.
Execution[edit]
In order to execute a configuration file, type the following into the console:
| 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[edit]
