Where do you put an Autoexec.cfg text file?

[ChrisHighwind]

I made a Autoexec.cfg file, but when I load it, it doesn't do anything. Here's my code:

name "PSI Hedgehog Chris"
color red
skin sonic
bind 1 "say hi, how's it going?"
bind 2 "orderpizza -size large -topping pepperoni -address what ever zone i'm in"
bind 3 "say anyone want pizza?"
bind 4 "screenshot"
bind 5 "chasecam 1"
con_backcolor red

The order pizza thing is supposed to be a joke. I found it on the Wiki.
Anyway, I have this on the same folder as the config.cfg file, but it won't load! Did I do something wrong?

autoexec.cfg or autoexec.cfg.txt?

In less ambiguous terms, do you have "hide known file extensions" enabled in Folder Options? Disable it and check your file.

autexec.cfg.txt.

I was told on the Wiki that it had to be a text file.

Correct, but you need to change the file's extension from .txt to .cfg, so remove the .txt and it'll work.

 

[ChrisHighwind]

I put down the name "autoexec.cfg", but it added the ".txt" by itself.

Copy config.cfg and edit the copy.
Thats how I got mine to work. I had the same problem.

By default Windows hides file extentions, so if you take a text file and give it the .cfg extension, it'll be whatever.cfg.txt, which is obviously not the desired result. Either enable the display of file extentions, take an existing .cfg file and copy and edit it, or use something esoteric like the Command Prompt to rename it to a .cfg.

I'm the only one who does that last one though.

On a side note, I reccommend shortening your name and removing the spaces. Sometimes SRB2 dislikes spaces and large names. Perhaps PSIChris or something of the sort.

And orderpizza doesn't technically require any parameters to work :p.

or you could just put a set of quotes around the file name to force windows to name your file that way.

... I've been using Windows since I was a young 'un and I NEVER knew you could do that....

 

[sonicfreak94]

Same here O.o. I'll have to try that out.

 

[Warpshade]

I just uncheck the box that says 'Hide extensions for known file types' and rename the .txt (or whatever) to .cfg (or whatever)

bind 1 "say hi, how's it going?"
bind 2 "orderpizza -size large -topping pepperoni -address what ever zone i'm in"
bind 3 "say anyone want pizza?"

Eww.... Try making conversation without scripts.

Windows XP and Vista are the only stupid OSes that actually hide the file extension. :(

Admittedly, neither did I. :)
