which cfg?

[moose175]

i rent a server. i have ftp access to the server. there are 2 server.cfg files(1 in the top level dir and 1 in the /main dir) and one autoexec_mp.cfg(in the /main dir). which one should i be editing to make changes to my server?

i thought that i edited the server.cfg in the /main dir but the only one that seems to make changes is the autoexec. should i make changes to the server.cfg file in the /main dir then delete the autoexec_mp.cfg because it is making changes that i don't want.

thanks. moose175

There should be NO server.cfg file. At least not used by you.

There is a file called server.cfg in the Pak0.pk3 file, if you attempt to make your own, the Pak file will "overrule" it in game. Essentially, the pk3 files take precedence over actual files in the directories.

Nothing you put in a server.cfg file will work.

However! The last .cfg file the server tries to read before starting up is the autoexec_mp.cfg (which does not actually exist when you first install, so you would have to create the file and ftp it to the right location). You COULD put all your custom server stuff there...

Perhaps, and I'm more asking than suggesting, could you make a file called (for example) custom.cfg, and put all of your custom tweaks in there. Then on the last line of the autoexec_mp.cfg add a line to "exec custom.cfg".

Indeed you could.
