Configuring Counter-Strike
Once everything is installed you'll be itching to get into a
game of CS online. First however it's a good idea to check out the
controls and what you should do before rushing into the game :).

playing style

Advanced Configuring
Of course there is other ways to edit your config. All changes
you make will be held in a file called config.cfg. This can be
located in your halflife/cstrike/ Directory and, loaded up in notepad. This
allows you to edit it, like you would any other text document.
Sample taken from my CS config:
...
bind "i" "showbriefing"
bind "m" "chooseteam"
bind "n" "buyequip"
bind "q" "nightvision"
bind "r" "+reload"
...
The sample above shows the kind of thing you'll be
faced with. It's easier to edit your config via the half-life menu
(Configuration > Controls), but you may want to add more to your config
and this is where editing via notepad is the way to go.
Other things you may want add in your
config
NOTE: These can be entered in via the console, which can
be seen by pressing the ` key when in a game of CS. Add a / when entering
commands
this way. So command cl_hidefrags 0 would be entered in the console as /cl_hidefrags 0.
cl_hidefrags 0 = Allows you to see all the scores,
for every player. There is an option in the Halflife menus to change this
setting, but it does not always work. However this will everytime if placed in your
config :).
+nvgadjust and -nvadjust
= These
adjust the brightness of the night vision goggles.
hud_centerid 1 = The default is
hud_centerid 0. This
means when you place your crosshair on someone in the game there name +
health status appears in the lower left of your screen. Set to 1 (on) this
makes that info appear in the centre of your screen.
setinfo vgui_menus 0 = To
disable the attractive vgui menus (can see them
here.).
Morpheus's
Advanced Config (Version 2)
If your new to CS then use your own config for the time being. This config
is best left to players who are confident with CS and know how configs work.
Morpheus has spent a lot of time setting up his
config, and it shows :). Everything is labelled and there are a few text
documents in there to help guide you through the config. This is a top
class config and is defiantly worth a look. You can download it here: CixCS-Configv2.zip (Please
make sure you backup your config before using any custom configs)
Other configs can be found in the
configs
section. However these are best left though until you have played a few games of CS.
