put it in baseq3

also make sure the file is really name autoexec.cfg and not autoexec.cfg.txt

this is a common mistake made by people that have the option to hide 
known file types checked in the folder options panel

an easy way around this would be to get your settings the way you want 
them then type /writeconfig autoexec.cfg in the console

Thanks but I have already tried all of that and it still happens.. Any
ideaS?
Is there a way to load the cfg while q3a boots with a parameter after the
game path or anything?

I'm guessing this is when you are starting up a mod or you have other mods 
with different q3config.cfg files.

Make sure you change the settings in baseq3 q3config.cfg and in the mod 
folders q3config.cfg files.

Not sure why this works, but it worked for me once.

I worked out what I had to do.. I had to make all the changes I wanted and
then make the autoexec and q3config in the arena and baseq3 folders read
only. Problem doesn't happen anymore

You don't have to make them read only, you just have to put the autoexec 
in the arena folder.  Are you starting Rocket Arena from the Q3A mods 
menu, this fucks things up all the time.  Don't do it, it specifically 
says, don't do it in the RA3 readme.  I haven't played RA3 in 4 years 
and I remember as much.

I couldn't find my good quake3 links right now, so I 'll try to give you 
some hints instead.

Railgun. Make sure your sensitivity isn't too high (/sensitivity in 
console).  Set it so that a 180 degree turn takes maybe 2/3 or all of 
the width of your mouse mat to do.  Lower sensitivity makes it easier to 
aim fast.  Getting a larger mousemat helps.  And make sure mouse 
acceleration is off, since this is hard to use (/cl_mouseaccel 0).  If 
you don'd know how to do this, you can read this: 
http://www.planetquake.com/quake3/q3aguide/console.shtml

It's good to practice your railgun skills by playing on an instaunlagged 
server, map q3dm17.  Or just try using only railgun in rocket arena for 
a while. If you meet a superior player, ask him for some tips.  Use The 
All-Seeing Eye to find Instaunlagged servers.  You can use if forever 
without paying. http://gamesdomain.yahoo.com/ase/register

Rocket jumps.  They are quite easy. Just face the opposite direction of 
where you're going, jump backwards, then immediatly fire a rocket into 
the ground.  The hard part is doing this without stopping first, ie. 
running forward, then turning and doing a rocket jump with the exact 
right direction and angle of the rocket. You will always take some 
damage when you rocket jump.  There are some demos on the net you can 
watch.  Use google.  And you need to practice this when you're alone on 
the server.

Weapon switching.  I don't think RA3 allows you to change the weapon 
switching speed, so it's probably you imagination.  But using the mouse 
wheel to cycle the weapon list isn't the best way to switch weapons. 
Use the control settings page to bind the weapons to keys around your 
movement keys.  If you use WASD like me, you can do this this: rocket=e, 
plasma=q, bfg=f, railgun=r, lightning=c, grenades=x, teleport=z.  1-3 
default.

Even better, you can put the weapons you use the most on the mouse, so 
you don't have to let go of any of the movement keys to switch weapons. 
Right mouse button for one weapon, mousewheel up and down for two more, 
instead of cycling.  And if you use ctrl for crouching and alt for 
walking, you can use shift with your pinky for a fourth weapon.  You 
usually don't need a key for zooming in rocket arena, not walking either.

There's a lot more to know about playing Q3, but this is really the 
essential stuff.  Remember to ask for comments on your playing when you 
meet somone who kicks your ass.  Many players are very keen on helping 
when you're alone with them on a server.  And don't stand still, you 
have to learn to aim while running and jumping.


Hope this helps.  I was supposed to be cleaning the floor and bathrooms 
now, but I ended up writing this stuff instead :)

Thank you all very much, I do hope you did not get into trouble for not 
cleaning the floor :)
The web site looks good Havoc[6] i will bookmark that and take a good 
look at it.
Thanx again
