Q3 - Scripts

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.games.quake3 (More info?)

I placed a script in my config file (one that cycles through the rail
colours), saved the file and went into the game. The script worked fine -
and I was pleased with it.

I then went in to put in a script to cycle the rocket launcher and rail
gun - and found that the rail colour script was gone - and a test of play
verified that the script was not longer working.

In fact, I can place as many scripts as I want into the config file, they
seem to work fine for the first time that I play the game, but they are gone
the next time I start the game.. Does anyone know why or how?

TIA -

you need to put them in a file named: autoexec.cfg (in the same directory as
config.cfg) - the config.cfg file is rewritten each time Q3 exits.

You may have to re-exec it for different mods too... If you play a mod and
notice things are not working right, drop the console and type:
/exec autoexec.cfg
that will also work for any cfg you have in baseq3, some configs you might
not want in autoexec.cfg. Instead, bind a key to execute it. Put something
like:
bind x exec railcolor.cfg
into the autoexec. I have some examples here:

Thanks Sittingduck - I see you have a demo there of your own too..

I should say that I made an error in my post though - I was able to get the
script to change from rail to rocket working (thanks all!) - but not the
rail color changer - it says it does not recognise the command 'color'. Can
someone have a look at it?

I know its just a vanity thing, but i think it would add to the fun of the
game to see different colored rails shooting across the sky.... -
