/exec xxx.cfg no workie. Help!

[Magnus]

I created a config file to cycle through maps and it's not working.

Here are the contents of the config file:

set g_gametype 0

set m1 "fraglimit 30; map q3dm6; set nextmap vstr m2"
set m2 "fraglimit 30; map q3mmdm4 ; set nextmap vstr m3"
set m3 "fraglimit 30; map q3mmdm3; set nextmap vstr m1"

vstr m1

I named the config: mmdm.cfg

I go ingame bring down the consol type in:

/exec mmdm.cfg

then hit enter and I get:

couldn't exec mmdm.cfg

I have made several .cfg files in the past and have never had one not work.

Any ideas?


Thanks.

1. Check it's really, really in the right folder. It needs to be in \yourquakefolder\baseq3\
2. Check you've not put it in the wrong installation of quake. A lot of us run multiple copies and you may be such a person.
3. If you're in windows, check you haven't accidentally called it mmdm.cfg.cfg because windows is hiding file extensions
4. Drag the file into notepad (not wordpad or any other program) and save it again under a different name.

Yea the file is called mmdm and the file type is .cfg and I placed it in C:\Program Files\Quake III Arena\baseq3.

I found the problem though.

set g_gametype 0

set m1 "fraglimit 30; map q3dm6; set nextmap vstr m2"
set m2 "fraglimit 30; map q3mmdm4 ; set nextmap vstr m3"
set m3 "fraglimit 30; map q3mmdm3; set nextmap vstr m1"

vstr m1

notice the space between the 4 and the ;? I removed that space and everthing works fine now. Just a silly typo on my part.

Oops!

Thanks Foo.
