Introduction

^^ Top

Console commands and variables are the main focus of this document. To use these, you need to either add them to suitable configuration files (i.e: autoexec.cfg) or enter them into the in-game console.

How configuration files work:

Quake Live uses the following configuration files:

- repconfig.cfg: this auto-generated file contains all of your key bindings and preference settings (never manually edit this file!)

- qzconfig.cfg: this auto-generated file contains other settings not listed in the repconfig (never manually edit this file!)

- autoexec.cfg: a user-generated file. When this exists, the game automatically applies all the settings contained in it to your repconfig when the game loads.

Any other configuration files will need to be loaded in-game using the ‘exec <config name>’ command in the console, unless the config file is already loaded by the autoexec.

Configuration files use the ‘.cfg’ file extension and are essentially basic text files which can be edited with a program such as WordPad. Never use Notepad for editing as it will format the file incorrectly and the game will not be able to read it.

How to reset your game settings:

Simply delete your repconfig.cfg and qzconfig.cfg (autoexec.cfg too if it exists) and load up the game to generate brand new configurations.

How to access your in-game console:

While you’re in-game, press Ctrl+Alt+~ to bring down the console screen. Type com_allowConsole “1” in the console, this will alow you to access the console by simply pressing the tilde (~) key in future.

Auto-complete feature:

To save time typing out commands and variables in the console, press Tab while typing to auto-complete it. If there are multiple options, a list of these options will be printed to the console. This feature also works for map names.

Scrolling through the console entries:

Press PgUp to scroll up and PgDn to scroll down when you’re searching for entries through many other entries.
