#Speed up quake 4 multiplayer mod

If you have different graphics settings per config, you might have to type vid_restart in the console after exec'ing your config. This is useful if multiple people play your game and have different control settings, or if you want different configs for multiplayer and singleplayer. To load a config, type 'exec anynamehere.cfg' in your q4base directory. This command creates a config file out of your current settings, and saves it as 'anynamehere.cfg'. When in the game, pull down the console and type 'writeconfig anynamehere.cfg'. What it does is automatically loads any settings located in this file when q4 starts up.Ĭonfigs can be saved and loaded at any time. Q4config.cfg- The file that contains all of your quake4 settings.Īutoexec.cfg- This file is not created by Q4, you can make it yourself.

It is not recommended to edit these files manually, but you can safely look at them using a textfile viewer which supports Unicode Text Files (if you open up the q4config.cfg file in Notepad you'll notice all carriage returns have disappeared. The q4config.cfg files contain all the settings and variables for Q4 and/or a particular mod.

The one config file everyone has is q4config.cfg, located in the baseq4 folder inside your Quake 4 folder, and in every mod folder.

If you want to make it so you can pull down the console by just pressing ~, put com_allowconsole 1 in your autoexec.cfg, or add +com_allowconsole 1 to your q4 shortcut.Ĭonfig files (marked *.cfg) are textfiles that contain settings, scripts and binds for Q4 (see topics on the console, scripts and binding keys for more info). To pull down the console, press 'crtl + alt + ~'. Note: if there is more than 1 possible match, all of the possibilities are displayed. The console supports TAB COMPLETION, if you type part of a command then press TAB key the game will fill in the rest of the command. Commands you typed previously can be accessed with CURSOR_UP and CURSOR_DOWN keys.CURSOR_LEFT and CURSOR_RIGHT let you go back along the string you typed and edit wrong bits. The console contents can be scrolled up and down with the PAGEUP and PAGEDOWN keys. Every single thing that has a value one way or another can be changed through the console. The console can be used to change variables of the game or to enter commands. The console is a command line type interface, a bit like DOS, its not DOS, its a custom command interface written by id software.
