Help: Saving Commands

[GamerL8r]

Hello everyone.

While I was playing on MP someone started explaining how you could get longer connection attempts (Load of screen when you join server). /cl_connectionattemps (enter # of attempts here) is the command. Whenever I put in this command it never saves so if I quit out of the game and come back I have to put in that command again. After awhile it gets annoying. If you ask why I even need this it is because I can almost never make the connection is 10 attempts (default). I've been trying to find a command that saves what you input so you don't have to enter it when you get back on the game. I see cl_connectionattempts default 10 below this command when you type it in but I can't figure out how to change the default.

If anyone knows how you can do this please post how to here. Thanks!

Using Wordpad/Notepad, open up your config_mp.cfg file.

Then scroll down to the section where see the seta cl_ entries, and put in:

seta cl_connectionattempts "20"

(change 20 to whatever you want, but keep the " " marks in there).

Save, and exit the file.

Didn't seem to work. I edited the file like you said but it didn't change the default. When I entered cl_connectionattempt in console it didn't have 20 as default. It said 10 as default. Mind showing me a picture of how it should look like in the file or copy and paste how it looks in file into this?

It's exactly as I typed it above. Not sure why it's not working for you...I just tried it again myself with a different number to test it. :|:

...

seta cg_weaponCycleDelay "0"
seta cg_youInKillCamSize "6"
seta cl_allowDownload "1"
seta cl_anonymous "0"
seta cl_connectionAttempts "40"
seta cl_freelook "1"
seta cl_maxpackets "100"
seta cl_maxPing "800"
seta cl_mouseAccel "0"
seta cl_packetdup "1"
seta cl_pitchspeed "140"
seta cl_punkbuster "1"
seta cl_voice "1"
seta cl_wwwDownload "1"
seta cl_yawspeed "140"
seta com_introPlayed "1"

Hmm mine is exactly the same I think.


seta cl_allowDownload "1"
seta cl_anonymous "0"
seta cl_connectionattempts "20"
seta cl_freelook "1"
seta cl_maxpackets "30"
seta cl_maxPing "800"
seta cl_mouseAccel "0"
seta cl_packetdup "1"
seta cl_pitchspeed "140"
seta cl_punkbuster "1"
seta cl_voice "1"
seta cl_wwwDownload "1"
seta cl_yawspeed "140"
seta com_introPlayed "1"

What is wrong? Also when I test it I go to the console instead of going to a server and connecting. It is connecting fast to the servers at the moment so it's hard to get to at least 10 and test it that way.

EDIT: Ok I see what my problem is. I was using the wrong profile I saved it in. lol

Thanks for the help.
