you need to put them in a file named: autoexec.cfg (in the same directory as 
config.cfg) - the config.cfg file is rewritten each time Q3 exits.

You may have to re-exec it for different mods too... If you play a mod and 
notice things are not working right, drop the console and type:
/exec autoexec.cfg 
that will also work for any cfg you have in baseq3, some configs you might 
not want in autoexec.cfg. Instead, bind a key to execute it. Put something 
like: 
bind x exec railcolor.cfg
into the autoexec. I have some examples here:

Thanks Sittingduck - I see you have a demo there of your own too..  8-)

I should say that I made an error in my post though - I was able to get the
script to change from rail to rocket working (thanks all!) - but not the
rail color changer - it says it does not recognise the command 'color'.  Can
someone have a look at it?

I know its just a vanity thing, but i think it would add to the fun of the
game to see different colored rails shooting across the sky....  -

Your not wrong, that sound wicked.  Is there any chance I could take a peek
at that rail colour script???

Yup - its on the link Doc - but here it is for others too -

Name: Rail Rainbow
Author: Essobie
Description: This one flips through the different colors of the
railgun...Taste the Rainbow!
Instructions: Put the text below into your config replacing 'x' with the
button of your choice.


// Rail Rainbow
// ============
set rail0 "color 0; set rrail vstr rail1"
set rail1 "color 1; set rrail vstr rail2"
set rail2 "color 2; set rrail vstr rail3"
set rail3 "color 3; set rrail vstr rail4"
set rail4 "color 4; set rrail vstr rail5"
set rail5 "color 5; set rrail vstr rail6"
set rail6 "color 6; set rrail vstr rail0"
vstr rail0
set rrail vstr rail0
bind x "weapon 7; vstr rrail"

The problem I found was that it gave me an error for the command 'color'...
not sure if someone can do something with it..

I think Id changed the syntax in one of the later patches that gave
you the ability to change the core and spiral colors independently.
Mighta been color1 and color2, been so long I cant recall.
