Texture Removal + Config

**SMOR3S** · 07-28-2012, 01:41 AM

I just wanted to make this thread to go over a couple of things....

1. Config Security ---

I know back in CS 1.6, the game had issues with loading up your "Autoexec.cfg" when the normal config was also there... In Quake Live there is the similar issue when having a custom *instertname.cfg*, running at the same time as the normal default configs "qzconfig.cfg, and "repconfig.cfg".. Not to get side tracked, cause this is CSS, not Quake, so I was just wondering, should I set the Config.cfg to "READ ONLY", and edit my setting through the CFG rather than leaving it "WRITE AND READ", cause in 1.6, sometimes the game would overwrite some settings in your custom if the Config.cfg wasn't read only.. I am just afraid that server CVARs will overwrite what I have in my custom config...

2. Autoexec ---

Is Source still the same to where you need to name your config "Autoexec.cfg" and then put in the config "exec autoexec.cfg".. Which would make no difference, cause it would autoexec right from the name, but if the config was SMOR3S.cfg, should I still add that line in, because I am having issues with my config loading, and for some reason CSS is giving me a command error when using "exec autoexec.cfg"

3. My Config ---

Are these settings still adequate to play CSS optimally?

4. Remove Textures + Lowest Graphics ---

I was wondering.. What would be a good config for removing most of the ambient scenery in CSS.. I like how in Quake Live, you have the options of removing most of the textures in the game, making it very good, cause I hate having high graphics in competitive play... it distracts me...

I hope you all can answer my questions...

Thanks,

1. Disable the Steam cloud and your custom "autoexec.cfg" will not be altered by anything but you.

2. There's no need to include "exec autoexec.cfg" in the "config.cfg" file. It is included in the "valve.rc" file located in the cfg folder.

3 + 4. Your config is missing many commands that will remove many things that aren't needed during play.

**SMOR3S** · 07-29-2012, 01:51 PM

So do you recommend, just using the Netcode config here on the site?...

+ The first thing you said was kind of misleading... I normally had my steam cloud disabled.. I should re-enable it correct?

Leave Steam cloud off, it's a complete waste. PM me your Steam community profile and I'll add you or something, this website takes about 2 minutes to load a single page for me now - and when it does it's all glitched out.
