This is important because it influences what melee weapon you start with, stun stick or crowbar. The game has an annoying bug where it won’t remember what your character model is in between games. Stick anything that you’d usually put into your autoexec into this new file (such as keybinds and aliases). It’ll make things much less messy to deal with later.Ĭopy and paste the text from Xeogin’s GitHub – to your “autoexec.cfg”, then create a file named “overrides.cfg”. Overrides.cfg: If you use Xeogin’s HL2:DM Community Patch (recommended, see below), put anything you’d usually add to your “autoexec.cfg” here instead. It also handles special configuration tools, such as aliases. Common Configuration FilesĬonfig.cfg: This lengthy file contains all of your keybindings and almost all graphical options to the game (minus resolution).Īutoexec.cfg: This configuration file will always apply whatever you write in here to your main “config.cfg” file whenever you launch the game. If you’ve messed up the game beyond recognision, backup then delete “config.cfg” & “autoexec.cfg” from “…\Half-Life 2 Deathmatch\hl2mp\cfg” and everything inside “…\Half-Life 2 Deathmatch\hl2mp\custom”. I recommend you use any modern source-code editor to change your configuration files, such as Visual Studio Code or Notepad++. You do this by either right clicking on the file, and selecting “Open With”, or click and dragging the file into your text editor of choice. Files in here can opened and edited with any text editor. Your game configuration files are located in “…\steamapps\common\Half-Life 2 Deathmatch\hl2mp\cfg”. Game Optimisations Important Configuration File Information
