Some of our members were interested in modifying their controls, to either create scripts, modify setting directly, or for other reasons. Here is some basic information regarding where and how to edit your config file, where your game settings (controls etc) are located.

To modify your config file, you need to locate it:
C:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\*your account*\half-life\ns

-> config.cfg

You can open and edit config files using notepad.

Tips:
*Its a good idea to write protect your config to keep it safe from being overwritten (either by bad PUZL ns builds where he includes his config, or by mean Admins).
*It is good practice to create a second file (unless it is already created) called userconfig.cfg for keeping your customizations. This file name is automaticaly executed when NS looks at the config.cfg file.
*Do not rely on changes to the config file to be permanent. NS overwrites the file if you change your settings in game.

Right click on the file, go to properties, and check "read only". Your config file will be permanent now.

There was at least one constie playtest build where your player name was set to "Flayra" by default. =P

It was kinda funny seeing a new Flayra join the server every minute or two. And of course, they would usually change their name back to their normal name as soon as they noticed, but you would occasionally see 2 or 3 Flayras on the same team at the same time.
