How To Exec Diff Configs In Game

[Deleted User][Deleted User] Join Date: 2003-11-28 Member: 23688
strange, i can do it in other hl mods but in ns it says "couldnt exec filename.cfg"

i had my normal config.cfg that loads when the game starts

i made a rine.cfg and a alien.cfg, thinking i could load either when i join one of the teams, but it doesnt work i just get the "couldt load filename.cfg"

what am i doing wrong?

    Try resaving the config files, you may have saved them as .txt by accident.

    File -> Save As -> X:/Valve/Steam/SteamApps/your@email/Half-Life/nsp/"cfgname.cfg"

    When you renamed the files you renamed them to "rine.cfg.cfg" and "alien.cfg.cfg"

    If your on windows XP

    Open my computer or any other folder.

    Tools>options>view>uncheck the box that says "hide exetenstion of known file types"

    Hit apply to all folers.

    Then looks at your configs, make sure they do not have two extentions.

    If you used notepad it has a really bad habbit of adding .txt to the end of file names too.

    Rename the files so they just say "rine" and "alien"

    hehe

    yalls are assuming way to much

    Do you have file extensions hidden? (if so, turn it off, follow Hologram0110's directions, this is true for 2K also)

    Where did you place said files (rine.cfg and alien.cfg)?
    IF they are not in your nsp folder then you have problems (move em there).

    Could you please include the files in one of your earlier posts? Just so we can check the extension?
