my hud is not loaded when map changes or when i enter a server so i have to do exec load alexey everytime and this is annoying

how do i make my cfg load by default? in q3 we had autoexec.cfg so u entered inside that file exec alexey.cfg then everytime u join a game it will load automatically and u dont have to do exec alexey everytime u enter server or map changes

also is the hud saved inside the cfg file or somewhere else separately?

Quakeworld clients have this too, but if you have installed nquake then it has its own autoexec.cfg file that does the following:

exec default.cfg
exec configs/preset.cfg
exec configs/platform.cfg
exec configs/config.cfg

I think most people put their own personal config in configs/config.cfg, that way it is executed after the default nquake settings.

(Everyone else - please correct me if this is incorrect, it comes up quite often so it would be good to get a standard answer to it)

Your whole config is saved in quake/ezquake/configs if you use the cfg_save command.

cfg_save will save to config.cfg
cfg_save akevader will save to akevader.cfg

Doing only cfg_save when all is looking nice should solve your problems.

ok so if i basically rename my alexey.cfg to config.cfg and it will autoload?

what about hud? is "new hud" saved inside the cfg? ( i mean the hud_ cvars)

i used hud_editor to make nice hud

i use a "combined" style so i can have the old status bar icons and side weapon ammo and the new bigger clock and fps show and the q3 style blue and red scores on the lower right corner

my problem with this is, i cant get rid of old hud style timer.. i mean this:

btw: i have renamed my cfg to config.cfg, and it stilll wouldn't autoload..

The arrow is not pointing to a timer though, that's your scores? (or maybe your team's scores)

When using cfg_save then yes, config.cfg will also include hud elements.

In what directory is your config located?

nQuake\ezquake\configs

this is whats happening

i open game, game shows this:



as u can see, the new hud is on top of old hud, that is the default new hud, i dont know why but it loads like that when my cfg has the ammo and status removed from new hub, so i have to load my cfg to make it look right like on the other pic

yes that is the score board from old hud system, i need to remove it because it look stupid since i already use new hud system for scores (blue and red like q3)

mmm i think i fixed it

i moved config.cfg in qw folder too... now it seems to be loading..

i still need to remove the "0"

also can u help me with this:

edit: aaaaaaaa fuck this

i opened the game again and the hud was still on top of the old hud

I have noticed when i joined the server in the console cvar it said this:

"execing "c:/nquake/ezquake.pk3/cfg/hud_dithes_full.cfg"
"execing "c:/nquake/ezquake.pk3/configs/dm.cfg"

it seems its loading some kind of hud when i join.. maybe this is related?

im sure it has something to do, everytime a map loads those cfg get loaded, and some of those cfg is a hud one

so how do i stop hud_dither from loading everytime?

this is so frustrating i cant enjoy the game if everyime i have to load config manually

OK, I have fixed this problem:



I copy pasted my hud_* cvars in hud_dithes_full.cfg inside the ezquake.pk3 file, this confirms that the game was loading hud_dithes_full.cfg inside the ezquake.pk3 for some fuking annoying reason

i would like to know why.. this can be very frustrating for new players

and I still would like to know a way to remove the "0" from the old scoreboard

I realised the HUD loading also happens for me, i just never cared about it as i haven't modified my hud lately.

The config load gets triggered by the on_enter_* commands and to clear them you can do the following to get rid of the "dependency" to other files than your own config.cfg:

alias on_enter ""
alias on_enter_ffa ""
alias on_enter_ctf ""


To get rid of your weird frag counter:
scr_drawhfrags 0

Simply use command line parameters to do whatever you want

Part of my lauch cmd
-userdir sss 4 +exec settings.cfg

nQuake's config.cfg has the following:



Those aliases are executed everytime you connect to a server. It means that the file cfg/hud_dithes_full.cfg is executed. To prevent it from happening, either delete the archive (make a copy) or remove the following from those lines:
