Finally: A real CFG (config)-building guide!! - Enemy Territory

[Shaky >:D]

Coloured text/name:

 

To colour your text/name you only need to type the "^" symbol and a number/letter/symbol, of a colour, below in front of your text/name.

 

All colours:

 

Examples:

"^wYoyo is funny!" = Yoyo is funny!(hold it to see the white text)

"^0Recoil is skilled!" = Recoil is skilled!

"^@Fifth is awesome!" = Fifth is awesome!

"^1DareDev!l has alot of guts!" = DareDev!l has alot of guts!Before you start writing scripts, you need to put your scripts somewhere! That place is called your config file.

 

Creating an own config/exec file:

 

Enemy Territory automatically checks for a file called autoexec.cfg every time it runs. If it exists, then ET runs whatever scripts are in that file. If you just installed ET though, it doesn't exist so you have to create it.

 

1.) Run the programm called 'Editor'

- Start >>> All programms >>> 'Accessories'? >>> Editor

- and open a new file

 

2.) Save the file

- save it as 'autoexec.cfg' or your own name, but don't forget the .cfg at the end.

- save it in your 'Wolfenstein - Enemy Territory' >>> 'etmain' folder.

 

Uploading your config/exec file:

 

Start Wolfenstein - Enemy Territory join any server and open the console, with the [^] button, under the [ESC] button, and type this:

/exec autoexecIf you got an own execname then this:

/exec THE NAME OF YOUR EXEC...and press [ENTER]

 

Make sure you've deleted, with [backspace] button, all symbols in the console.

 

After pressing [ENTER], console will tell you,if it uploaded the config/exec file successfully or not, like you see in the screenshot "execing autoexec".

 

Binding in the exec/config file:

1.) Open your exec/config file with 'Editor'

2.) Type a bind like mentioned below:

 

Bind:

bind [bUTTON] vsay/say/say_team/sayfireteam [COMMAND] [TEXT]

 

vsay = sound(+text), everybody can see it in the chat

/bind [bUTTON] vsay/say/say_team/say_fireteam [COMMAND] [TEXT]

 

Example vsay bind:

/bind x vsay hi ^1hello everybody!

/bind x say ^1hello everybody!

Useful stuff for binds:

 

Text shortcuts:

 

There are some very cool text shortcuts you can use only on jaymod:

[a] = last person who gave you ammo

[d] = last person who killed you

[h] = last person who gave you health

[k] = last person you killed

[l] = your current location

[n] = your name

[r] = last person who revived you

[p] = teammate you are pointing at

= your health

[w] = weapon you are currently holding

[t] = ammo for current weapon

Example:

bind n vsay NeedAmmo ^1I have only [t] ammo in my [w]!

-> Then you see 'I have only 23 ammo in my mp40! in the chat and hear the "I need Ammo" sound, by pressing the [x] button.

nice but i should say vsays are left over from RTCW and so some wont work on ET - e.g mortar barrage, meet at way point etc. (But if they do..do please me )

[Shaky >:D]

Everything in this guide, including any vsay, works on normal ET...

I hope i gave u an answer with that?
