How to set resolution/color depth in an autexec.cfg file

Archived from groups: alt.games.quake (More info?)

I recently got All-Seeing-Eye to play FuhQuakeGL online and was
wondering how exactly I set the resolution/color depth for when the game
loads, since I usually add it to the command line to the shortcut I
make. But ASE is loading the game under default resolution.

Under options in ASE where I point it to the fuhquakegl.exe, there's
also a box to point it to a config file, where I assume it wants an
autoexec.cfg, from there I can put in the proper resulution/color depth
that I want. What exactly do I put into the autoexec.cfg file to make it
run under 1024x768 in 32 BPP?

Thanks

There's probably a way to do this in a config, but I dont recall the exact
comand systax. But you should be able to direct ASE to use a SHORTCUT that
you create to the EXE with the same resolution and color commands you used
to use at the end of the command line. Instead of letting ASE find the EXE,
make the shortcut, then in ASE choose View, Options, Games - chose Quake and
browse to the shortcut.
