i would type

/exec darklord

well the config file must have the correct file ending, in the config case this would be ".cfg"

so if you save your E+ config as "darklord.cfg", then you would just have to type:

/exec darklord.cfg

and that config is used. and if you want to add or change something in game then write

/writeconfig darklord.cfg

all of thoose commands must be written in console ofcourse ...

Better a broken promise than none at all.

You don't need to save it as "darklord.cfg", if you name it "darklord" it's gonna be executed too.
My config is called "autoexec.cfg", a config with this name will be executed automatically.
Deleting or renaming your "q3config" won't help much because q3 sets a new one with startup.

what i done was copy and paste the cfg out of e+ folder, then renamed it and cut and pasted it back in, so i have my cfg, and one called darklord as a back up, the problem is sub when i use qconnect it sometimes wipes my cfg for some reason, that is why i need this technique.

thanks for the help

I had the same problem, with binds being erased - my solution was simple - make the .cfg file in the excessiveplus folder "read only"
Have found no problems with this so far...
