Enzo's Contribution

The Setting (old info) The Method The Effect
net_graph "1" put in userconfig.cfg Draws a graph of network traffic in the bottom-right. I like to watch to see why I'm waiting.
hud_centerid "1" Player ID is at the crosshair instead of bottom-left. Thanks Rico!
hud_saytext_time 10 Chat message last this long on the screen. I'm a slow reader.
-console on command line (in windows shortcut) or in CS1.6, add to properties -> launch options for Counter-Strike Allows you to enter console mode (tilde by default)
-nointro Skips the intro movies
-numericping Enables numeric server ping display (instead of
default green dots
-nojoy

Removes joystick support (slight memory saving)
+violence_ablood 0
+violence_agibs 0
+violence_hblood 0
+violence_hgibs 0		 Reduce the amount of blood and gore in the game. (also rumoured to cause a slight performance increase, but I just like it better).

 

My binds - many thanks to Ginger for his tutorial. Some new adjustments made for CSS below.
I put the text in a file cfg/enzo.cfg and then make an entry in cfg/autoexec.cfg "exec enzo.cfg" to run it.

  • HIGHLIGHTS (things changed from the defaults):
  • Mousewheel
    • up toggles a locking walk mode
    • down locks ducking
    • I use ctrl and shift for temporary walk/duck which also cancels any lock
  • Weapons
    • 1/2/3 fast-selects primary/secondary/knife
    • 5/6/7 fast-selects a HE/flash/smoke grenade
    • DEL chooses a grenade to throw (keeping the current weapon out)
    • INS selects, warns, and throws the grenade-type, then switches back weapons
      • problem is sometimes this fires the current weapon before throwing
      • Also fires if I haven't got that grenade type.
    • mousewheel button reloads
    • z selects, warns, and plants c4
  • Buys and others
    • all my buys are on the keypad
    • generally, things I buy first, or cheaper things, are bottom-left
    • weapons on the numbers
    • other crap around the edge
    • generally, lower-left are cheaper weapons
    • -/+ (not keypad) adjusts nightvision goggle brightness
    • moved the commandmenu to backspace
      • don't recall why
      • maybe I was hitting it too often by accident! ;)
      • I use CAPS for chat

Everything else is pretty much default I think.
