Basic Autoexec

McGlaspie

<div class="IPBDescription">Simple "config" mod</div>So I was asked by a few clan-mates how to set a few console commands so they always run when client does (such as: r_shadows 0, etc.). This is a simple mod, just extract the contents of the zip to your Natural Selection 2 folder and run:
...\Natural Selection 2\ns2.exe -game basic_exec

You can edit the Client.lua file in the basic_exec\lua directory to run any console commands you need every time NS2 starts. This could also easily be added into other mods.

He provides a very clear how to in his .zip. It's not complicated. Install it to your steamapps/common/natural selection 2/ folder. Then add the -game basic_autoexec or whatever to your launch options in Steam for Natural Selection 2.

Thats because its -game basic_exec

not "-game basic_autoexec"

I probably should have noted this the Lua file, afaik any of the *_stats console commands do not work using this mod. I'm not sure why, but I believe at the time the script is run the bit to handle the *_stats commands hasn't loaded yet.

The point of this script was to eliminate the need for people to have to type things like "r_bloom 0" in console every time they run the game to get decent fps.
