  • How do I make config tweaks stay?

    I'm trying to shrink the grenade icons with "cg_hudGrenadeIconHeight" and "cg_hudGrenadeIconWidth". If I do it ingame while playing on a server, it works and the grenade icons become smaller, but whenever a join a server it overwrites back to the default value.

    I've had no problem with the other tweaks like objective icon size, FOV, or showing flashbang icons. Are some config entries protected? Why do they work when changed ingame but revert to default on a new server?

    Change it in the config directly and then set the file to read only.

      Doesn't work. I have no idea why it would act like this when it lets you change it fine ingame.

      My config_mp (read only):
      seta cg_hudGrenadeIconEnabledFlash "1"
      seta cg_hudGrenadeIconHeight "20"
      seta cg_hudGrenadeIconInScope "1"
      seta cg_hudGrenadeIconMaxHeight "104"
      seta cg_hudGrenadeIconOffset "50"
      seta cg_hudGrenadeIconWidth "20"
      Game menu:


      In server:

        See if your config file is locked as read only.

          The stuff I did in my first post was with read-only unchecked.

          Now I have read-only checked, the file remains the same but when I join a game it goes back to default settings.

            Cheat protected commands can't be changed in configs.

            and, some commands get reset/set to certain values depending on the mod/server... but if you were on stock servers, then it's either because the stock "mod" resets the commands or those commands are cheat protected...

                Since the overwrites only seem to happen when a new map is loaded, and the tweaks work when typed in ingame, could I bind a key to set those config tweaks ingame? Will I get kicked/banned for it?

                If it's possible, I want to bind something to set:

                cg_hudGrenadeIconHeight "20"
                cg_hudGrenadeIconWidth "20"
                cg_hudGrenadePointerHeight "9.6"
                cg_hudGrenadePointerWidth "20"

                  /bind "F12" cg_hudGrenadeIconHeight "20"; cg_hudGrenadeIconWidth "20"; cg_hudGrenadePointerHeight "9.6"; cg_hudGrenadePointerWidth "20"

                  Can't remember which one actually works but it will change all 4 configs with one key press. It's either ";" or ":" to separate commands.

                  /bind "F12" cg_hudGrenadeIconHeight "20": cg_hudGrenadeIconWidth "20": cg_hudGrenadePointerHeight "9.6": cg_hudGrenadePointerWidth "20"

                    Got it, it's

                    /bind F4 "cg_hudGrenadeIconHeight 20; cg_hudGrenadeIconWidth 20; cg_hudGrenadePointerWidth 20; cg_hudGrenadePointerHeight 9.6"

                    I also found out you can bind stuff to toggle. I've got F2 on decals on/off and F3 on FOV 65/80. :awes
