Seta?

[kyleb]

Playing with the new Prey demo I exposed what seems to be a misunderstanding I have of the functionality of id's latest engine. I was under the impression that the use of "seta" would set the cvar value in my preyconfig.cfg so that it will be the default value, as explained here. However, I tried that with "seta com_allowconsole 1" though console and the setting didn't stick when I restarted the game. I know how to make the setting stick though cfg files, but all the same I'm curious as to why it isn't sticking when done from console. Can anyone here clue me in to what I'm misunderstanding?

That command and a few others doesn't stick in d3 engine games. It's gotta be in your autoexec.cfg or added to the shortcut... at least thats how it is in q4. No clue why.

Yes, take a look at the Doom 3 cfg and you'll see where it's used.
