setting up config folder

[tk1SickO]

i have a set of configs in a folder inside my etmain, but how can a run them?

C:/program files/enemy territory/etmain/config/configname

but what command do i type in console to run these?

[nihilist]

C:/program files/enemy territory/etmain/config/configname

exec config/configname.cfg

[KingJackaL]

C:/program files/enemy territory/etmain/config/configname

exec config/configname.cfg

(the .cfg is optional)

[deej]

really? I thought it was only for "config <file.config>" but not for exec.

[DG]

nah its optional aslong as the file is .cfg

you can exec .txt's but then you do have to specify the extension.

[ReyalP]

please don't confuse .config files with .cfg files. They are completely different. It looks like the original poster is talking about .cfg files, but it isn't completely clear.

[tk1SickO]

yea im talking about .cfg files, the 1st reply works, but how would i set this up for semi admins to exec the files? thanks

just wondering why you set them up in a .config folder???? .cfg files generally go in the /etpro or /etmain directory... the etpro/config folder is generally meant for .config files

for semiadmins to beable to execute them just give the semiadmin the exec ability

[tk1SickO]

i wanted a special set of configs to be in their own folder (organization) so that semi admins can change gravity and such without rcon, so all thats in these small cfg's is like: "g_gravity 400" and thats it.

[gotenks]

ah, organization... pfff who needs that...

you can also call a config as a ref..

/ref config "configname"

it wil load the configs in the map that you say..
maybe that's what your searching for?

Again, that is a .config not a .cfg

[tk1SickO]

so what if i name all the files .config?

[DG]

that'd still have to be in the .config format, syntax or whatever it's called

but, you should probably be able to edit away to sort that without too much hassle (just download some league's .config and see how the formatting works, or mebbie try here. the pub/comp vote sneakiness might suit you too.

The only way to let semi-admins run those .cfg's, is by adding 'exec' to their commands/cvars list.

Code: Select all

b_semiAdminCmds1 = "exec"

...for example, allows logged in level 1 semiadmins (if they have a password set) to use the exec command. They would then use that like so:

Code: Select all

/sa exec path/filename.cfg

However, that's kinda overkill, as they can of course use exec for ANY .cfg anywhere in your ET install - even if you don't want them execing that.
