Preparing For A Config

Before writing your own config there are some things that must be done in order to prepare your Quake 2 installation for the config file. Since I am covering the Action configs here I will be assuming that you are writing an Action config and will not be interfering with any other mods, if you want to write a config for other mods most of the techniques here are relevant but some of the commands will be different depending on the mod.

Preparing The Quake 2 Directory

Firstly, look inside your 'action' directory in the 'Quake2' directory, if you see the files 'config.cfg' and/or 'autoexec.cfg' rename them to 'config.bak' and 'autoexec.bak' (so you can go back to the old config if anything goes wrong).
Now that your old config has been cleared create a new folder and call it 'config', I keep all my config files in this folder to make sure everything's nice and tidy.

You are now ready to start writing your own custom config.

WARNING: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO PLAY ACTION WITH YOUR SETUP IN THIS STATE - IT WILL NOT BEHAVE PROPERLY AND WILL MESS UP THIS PROCEDURE
