Fairly similar. Some of the commands have changed a bit, but a Google 
search should turn up any number of guides on config files :)

Thanks...  I was at id via a link from the CD but that page took me to 
planetquake...  So I did a google and was sent everywhere but id!
Oh well, happily downloading...

Also, jeez, I forgot about the nausea that comes w/ playing this game! 
Sheesh!  It's going to take a while to get used to this again...  I dunno, 
an hour of nausea for every 10 minutes of gameplay, is it worth it?

:-)

Thanks, I've been googling around...  I remember when you could find all 
kinds of cool info on Q2 - seemed everywhere you turned...  One of my 
favorite sites (for the good content but also for the giggles it gave me) 
was QuakeWeenie, but that site is sadly gone...  I never seemed to get away 
from the weenie status, hedged off of it for a while there but never really 
got above it...  Oh well...  I had fun anyway....

See ya around kid!

Yeah; I don't know if servers use it or not these days but it's a good 
idea to have it anyway. Servers that don't use it, you run the risk of 
encountering cheaters. Although there are so few Q3 players these days, 
all the cheaters have probably long since moved on, LOL

Play for 10 hours straight, then you get an hour of nausea for a lot 
more gameplay ;) LOL

I do find that playing against others seems to diminish the nausea...  The 
adrenalin perhaps?

How does one get rid of the head bob?  Is it the same as the Q2 config?
set bob_pitch "0"
set bob_roll "0"
set bob_up "0"

I must say that Q3 graphics are nicer and I like the bot play that comes 
with it...  I can feel my b/p rising as I play though...

Thank-you SittingDuck, I was just viewing your website and d/l'd a few 
skins...  I was also viewing your configs...  I forget (I do recall there 
was a reason for this in Q2 but it escapes me at the moment and I can't go 
view all of my saved Q2ML emails right now since they are stored on a HD w/ 
a broken pin that I *WILL* fix someday), why do you have an autoexec.cfg and 
a config.cfg and the other cfg's?

The config.cfg is saved by Quake itself; the autoexec.cfg is the 
settings you want to keep *g*
Q3 stores your progress against the bots in config.cfg so it changes 
every time you run it.

The q3config is your main config. Any settings you make via the console, or 
the menus get written to it. If you reload the game or delete the q3config, 
the game simply creates a new one.

An autoexec does just what it says... automatically execs itself when the 
game starts (writing the settings to the q3config). Unlike the q3config, it 
can only be changed manually. What this means is that all the settings YOU 
want, or perfer, are saved. If you organize it well, it is also the simplest 
way to make changes, since it can be very straightforward and easy to read.

Other configs are created for specific settings or tasks (recording demos, 
viewing models, etc), and kept separate mainly because they are only needed 
occasionally, and would clutter up the autoexec. 

Thanks for the info you two, much appreciated...

I did get in a few good shots today but I still bore the pants out of those 
who want some real action and not target practice!
