[ShankNinja's] CONSOLE/BINDING/AUTOEXEC.CFG SCRIPT GUIDE

[ShankNinja 801]

DARK RP - CONSOLE/BINDING/AUTOEXEC.CFG SCRIPT GUIDE

 

Welcome! Don’t know what any of the above means? Don’t worry, that’s what this guide is for.

 

CONSOLE

 

If you don’t know what the console is then you’re rather fresh. It’s possible you’ll even need to enable the Developer Console, though it should be enabled by default.

Once it’s enabled, your console will look like this when you hit the `/~ key (also called Tilde - usually located below your escape key)

BINDING

 

Binding is simple. Use the following format to make any bind you wish:

Bind key command

For example:

bind f lastinv

^the above command will replace your F key’s function (if it was used previously) to the “lastinv” command, which swaps between your current and last weapon. It’s also my favorite console command.

bind f

^the above command will check what the f key is doing. If it’s unused, it will return:

“f” = “”

In the above, I’ve checked that F is unused, bound it to lastinv, and then checked that it’s being used.

Now for a slightly more complex bind:

bind k " ; +left ; +forward ; +duck ; +walk"

^this bind enables the K key to cause you to go Left+Forward while Crouching and Walking. If you ever had to step away from the keyboard to eat or use the bathroom, this type of command will lead the server to thinking you’re still active, buying you time before the Auto-Slay kicks in.

 

ALIASES

Aliases are a little more complicated than binding. Think of it like a shortcut to commands:

alias garnet "connect 208.103.169.33:27015"

^this alias creates a command alias called Garnet, in which if you type just ‘garnet’ into the console it will run the command "connect 208.103.169.33:27015", connecting you to Garnet DarkRP#1.

 

This in itself is somewhat useful and time saving, but you can do the same thing with creating a Toggle-Key. Lets use the above example from Binding:

bind k " ; +left ; +forward ; +duck ; +walk"

Using this would still require you to have to use another key to turn off the AFK Macro:

bind l " ; -left ; -forward ; -duck ; -walk"

However, if we use a simple alias, we can have the same key turn on and turn off the AFK function:

 

alias disable "alias toggleafk enable; -right;-forward;-duck"

alias enable "alias toggleafk disable; +right;+forward;+duck"

alias toggleafk "enable"

The above set of aliases allow you to create two aliases, one for enablement and disablement, and a third for the toggle. Then you just bind the toggleafk alias to a key:

bind u toggleafk

Now, every time you hit the U key, it will run either Enable or Disable. 

Enable will enable the macro, while also re-aliasing the toggleafk to Disable, so that the next time it’s pressed it will Disable the macro, and re-alias toggleafk to Enable.

 

I hope the above wasn’t too complicated! That is about as hard as it gets.

 

There is one gigantic flaw with aliases however: the game will not remember them. You will need to use Autoexec.cfg to make settings that remain every time you open Garry’s Mod.

 

AUTOEXEC.CFG

 

This is where it all comes together. You have the console enabled, can bind keys, can alias keys and bind those aliases! Now, lets get to business and find the autoexec.cfg file…

 

There’s an easy way and a more complicated way, and the more complicated way is only good if you know exactly where to look so we’re going to go the easy way. Open up steam, right-click Garry’s Mod from your library, click Properties, the Local Files Tab, Browse Local Files, then go into the garrysmod folder to find the Config folder:

 

Now you should see a folder like this:

If you don’t see a file called autoexec.cfg, make a new file (don’t name it anything) and open it up:

Now, Save-As this document from notepad with a new name, autoexec.cfg but ensure that you set Save As Type = All Files, not Text Document, or it will still be a Text Document and not the CFG file Garry’s Mod needs.

Now I’ll give you my entire autoexec.cfg file; use as little or as much as you want in your autoexec.cfg file. If you made changes while in game, save it and run this command from console:

exec autoexec

^this is how you execute any other script that isn’t autoexec. Autoexec will run every time you run Garry’s Mod, automatically (automatically execute = autoexec)

 

All of the Aliases have my own keybindings, which I don’t have in the autoexec. You will want to make a bind for any aliases that you want to use below with your preferred key:

 

Anything that is formatted with two slashes like this:

That config is the only reason I'm able to have 30+ FPS after 14 hours of being ingame. It's ridiculously OP.

Im on mac so this doesn't work D: but thanks for the tutorial.

there actually might be a way to do it on mac i dont know though.

@crimes tell me if this helps. If not, I can hop on a discord screen share sometime to see if we can figure out what to do on your end. All I do know, is that it DOES work, it's just the matter of getting it in the right place.

I normally run 90ish FPS so I'm curious what would go down If I gave it a shot... Ill wait until I feel I'm in a tech mood and give it a go!

Replying to save for later on MRP lol

[mossly 144]

I'd like to add one of my favorite command blocks

 

alias voiceon "+voicerecord; bind x voiceoff"

alias voiceoff "-voicerecord; bind x voiceon"

bind x voiceon

 

this will make your mic toggle rather than hold

I do something similar. My macro is:

bind f11 ";+voicerecord"

Using this, it sticks your mic on toggle. Using my default Push-To-Talk (V) resets it to not be toggled on
