Hey guys, how do I make variable changes permanent?

Hey guys, how do I make variable changes permanent?

Postby Jakssoul » 13 Jan 2013, 19:43

I have been playing Red Eclipse for quite a while, and am pretty great at it.
HOWEVER, I always play offline. I rarely have an internet connection, and always play offline. I also always change seven or eight variables, the most important being movement speed, as the default "100" is waaaayyyy too fast and unrealistic for me to enjoy playing with it.

Is this even possible? I'm getting sick of editing on boot everytime.

PS: I did search this forum for an answer. Didn't find one. I may just be stupid.

Press [t] key, write "/writevars your_vars.cfg" and press enter to save them in a file named "your_vars.cfg". Then you can load them with "/exec your_vars.cfg". You can of course replace "your_vars" with your own name, so you can have different sets of variables.

Option -> autoexec.cfg

Put whatever commands you want there, without the / in front of it, and click "save". Every time the game starts, it will automatically execute all the commands in there.

Put them in "My Documents\My Games\Red Eclipse\localexec.cfg" with "sv_" in front of each var. Eg

{l Code}: {l Select All Code}
sv_movespeed 75

I see my post was edited with strike-through and quin posted something else. I'm going to assume my post is only true for player commands, and not for offline server commands?

I appreciate all the responses, but I just got on the IRC five minutes after posting this and was helped out by one of the guys who made like, half the maps. xD At least, half the maps I use.

I'm currently trying to make some variables permanently on a mac and I'm having trouble. I've effectively created a .cfg file that contains my desired variables, but each time I boot the game I need to /exec the specific .cfg in order to get them going. Is there a way to make it so that the game loads it with my .cfg variable settings instead of the defaults? Please let me know. Thanks

Make a new CFG file and name it autoexec.cfg
place your variable changes in that, then place the file in the red eclipse directory

i believe that will launch red eclipse with your variables without the need for typing /exec all the time.

The location to put this file on Mac OSX is: /Users/<name>/Library/Application Support/redeclipse
