Hi,

I know I should search first and blaa blaa but now I'm just so tired and angry that I don't want to.

Problem: my config-file gets erased everytime I go to play on some server.

Yesterday I tried to bind teamchat from the setup>controls>misc. Usually I don't do that - if I want to change something I just change the binding straight to the config file.

Now the game or server or something erases my config so that it takes away everything I change in it. For example if I change enemymodel before the game, those settings gets erased and there is no enemymodel at all in my settings after the game. Also I loose all crosshair settings and that sort of things. And it's REALLY ANNOYING! :evil: :evil:

I tried to fix it so that I take all bindings off from the setup>controls and then copy the old config to the excessiveplus-folder. Didn't work.

I don't know what I should do now. Why does the config get erased? And why doesn't the game erase all of it but only parts of it? I just can't understand this.

Hmm... I don't know about that. I have downloaded this Qconnect-program which you find when you click some of the server links. Then I just click "Play right Now!" link and game starts. It works pretty well - sometimes I have to download the Qconnect-program again because it stops working, dunno why. But I don't know anything about xpsingleplayer.bat. I suppose this Qconnect is similar as Qplug which you can see for example in www.fragmaster.net if you are registered. Before I used to connect to the servers from www.fragmaster.net.

but dont give name yors cfg "q3config.cfg" bycose its default cfg and be overwrite, sometimes

/writeconfig name

and when u wona exec cfg filr use

/exec name

writeconfig is not so usful cmd, beter meake own cfg file using notepad, then is clear and u can put comand there that u only wona to put, in q3config.cfg its all comands that q3 needs to run.

its also good to ad in yors cfg file bind like this

bind F1 exec name.cfg

presing one buton u can load yors setings

one other thing

first line of cfg itts good to make /unbindall cmd, and last snd_restart or vid_restart both doing the same...
