MOHAA not saving settings...

Wierd thing happens. There are several settings in mohaa that if I change, will go back to their original settings after when i restart mohaa.

Texture Compression, wall decals, static decals, terrain detail and effects detail.
They never seem to stay to what I set them to...

Does anyone know the console commands to set those so I can add it manualy to the unnamed soldier or something?

do you have honesty config installed? if so, those settings are forced often by it, depending on the lines you have in the cfg.

set the settings you want in game. copy the unnamedsoldier.cfg in the configs folder to your main folder and rename it to autoexec.cfg. delete the unnamedsoldier.cfg. then it will force your settings each time you boot up mooohaa

Thing is, I dont think its even writing it to the unnamedsoldier.cfg...

well change your name ingame to something different and then check it.. there's also a cmd in the cmdlist (via console) that will write the current cfg to a specified filename. although the aforementioned should/will work. a unnamedsoldier is made everytime you load mohaa -atleast to the extent of my knowledge- so just delete it first.. then load mohaa use your settings you want and then check the config folder and if it's there than it's being generated like it should.


oh yeah if you happen to have any custom paks.. they may have an autoexec.cfg in it overwriting any settings.. but i doubt that.

Make sure your cfg is not read only

Thanks for your help guys..

To the PK3's, no this is a fresh install and I run all stock.

Checked, cfg is not read only

I actually tried deleting the unnamed soldier, then going into the game and selecting the settings..didnt work

Super, do you have that command?


|[SoB]|*Baby Blue*

try reinstalling, then if the problem arises again, leave another post.

Yeah I guess Ill end up reinstalling again..oh well..Ill do it when im not lazy


|[SoB]|*Baby Blue*

all you need is the custom settings in a cfg file namely autoexec.cfg and it'll work 100%. i can't think of the cmd off hte top of my head .. its in the cmdlist in console.. believe it's Write something something

the command for what? To run a custom config file? If so its 'exec wutever.cfg' or in your shortcut '+exec wutever.cfg'.

Yeah, thanks..tried that..lol still didnt save those couple settings.. Tried taking out unnamedsoldier, then setting all the settings and writing an unnamedsoldier soldier manually. It worked except, again, for those couple settings.

Oh well..anyways..If anyone knows the commands for:
Compressed Textures(on)
Terrain Detail(max)
Static Decals(on)
Wall Decals(on)
Weather Effects(on)
View Model(full)
Effects Detail(max)

That would be greately appreciated
I can just bind them to a key and just hit it every time i start my game or something..

Thanks again for all your help

BRI, THIS WONT HELP, BUT, I NEVER HAD ANY TROUBLE WITH THOSE SETTINGS ON MY MOHAA (AFTER I ADJUSTED THEM IN-GAME, LIKE THE TERRAIN DETAIL)

I SUGGEST LESS (EDIT: OR FEWER? YES, FEWER) POTATOES AND MORE BUTTER.

Ok, I tested for those commands, found some that might work but its funny. On my settings, it shows most of them like seta cg_effectdetail, seta r_ext_compressed_textures, seta r_drawstaticdecals, seta cg_effectdetail, etc. When I set my settings to the one you requested, they arent in there. I don't have a clue why. If you would like, I can send you my config with those settings and you can replace yours with it.

when you load mohaa look at the console and see what it's loading. if you have the autoexec in there then it'll load that. check and see if it's actually loading. also make sure unnamed isn't read only.

Yeah, if u could, thanks. cubzspam@comcast.net

Wierd thing thought. I was scrolling through all the commands. I found, for example, cg_texturedetail or whatever it was. So, I set it to "Max" and it works fine. Then..when I go to change it again, it says "unknown command: cg_texturedetail" Oh well, I dont know...bah

Super:Yeah, its not read only. Console goes too fast for me to catch anything but I think i saw "Execing autoexec.cfg...Failed to exec autoexec.cfg"

if you type it in as "cg_texturedetail Max" I don't think it will work. It takes a number value I believe. If there are 7 options such as in effects detail (minimum, lower, low, medium, high, higher, max), then max = 7. cg_texturedetail 7 would be the correct syntax.

Do you have aim or msn so I can be of more assistance. My MSN is "Joestetz@comcast.net" and AIM is "fps shootah" if you need any more help.

it's not execing then that is your problem. as it most likely isn't execin anything. check to make sure your filemain dir is set in console. or just reinstall

If viewing in notepad, try turning word wrap on? I dunno if that is the prob you are seeing.
