创建良好的配置和按键绑定

probably everything you need to create your own config for the game, plus lots of binds and presets about 🇷🇺 русскоязычная версия руководства https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2200784065 credits:@harfilend - bugtracking what it is?it is a guide for creating your own config file for Counter-Strike: Source. instead of copy-pasting random configs from all around the internet, it is better to examine what each cvar do, how they all work together, what the syntax is, and come up with your own config and binds that will suit your hardware and playstyle well in that guide you will find: a glossary that explains what "cvars", "bind", "alias" and other jargon are custom-made bind to edit and paste examples of how those binds and cvars work a non-inclusive list of various cvars graphical presets, etc that guide is also works for Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, and Team Fortress 2, however cvars themselves are differ between various games if you want to thank me......then check my guide about fixing various game issues: launching, crashing, optimization, stuttering, gamepads, etc. the guide is huge, but the topic is broad to begin with https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1935376439 if you have done something wrong if game looks or acts weird after, say, a copy-pasting some bad config, then do the following: delete the file ...steam steamapps common Counter-Strike Source cstrike cfg config.cfgdelete the content of the file ...steam steamapps common Counter-Strike Source cstrike cfg autoexec.cfg- that shall fix 90% of all possible errors in your client glossary: cvars, autoexec, bind, alias, 1 cvarcvar (console variable) is a command that use execute. they may have two or more values, for example "sv_cheats" is a cvar that enables cheats. it has two values: sv_cheats "0" // disable sv_cheats "1" // enable"cl_dynamiccrosshair" is a cvar that changes a crosshair should behave (increasing/decreasing) while shooting/walking. it has the following values: cl_dynamiccrosshair "0" // disable cl_dynamiccrosshair "1" // changes its size on shooting & walking cl_dynamiccrosshair "2" // changes its size on walking only cl_dynamiccrosshair "3" // changes its size on shooting onlyyou can execute "cvars" in console itself or paste them in "autoexec" the list of all CSS cvars is located here autoexecautoexec is a file where you can paste various cvars and they will be executed each time you start the game (saving you a time) it is located in (manually create it if there is no such file): ...steam steamapps common Counter-Strike Source cstrike cfg autoexec.cfg two ways to write cvars in autoexec: each cvar on a separate line: r_rootlod "0" mat_queue_mode "2" mat_queue_report "0"...or multiple cvars on one line with ";" for separating them: r_rootlod "0"; mat_queue_mode "2"; mat_queue_report "0" in the "autoexec" file you can leave the comments, for example to remember which cvar does what. comments are separated with "//" sign. like this: cl_playerspraydisable "1" // disables players' sprays // stuff below is for a better ping cl_lagcompensation "1";cl_smooth "1" bindbind function allows to assign a cvar to a certain keyboard or mouse button. its syntax: bind "BUTTON" "CVAR(S) or FUNCTION" few examples: bind "N" "net_graph 2" - opens a Net-Graph panel with "N"-button bind "KP_5" "buy vesthelm; buy defuser" - buys "Bulletproof vest/helmet" & "Defuser Kit" with "numpad-5" bind "TAB" "incrementvar cl_interp 0.01 0.1 0.0025" - changes LERP from "0.01" to 0.1" with a step of 0.0025 with "TAB"-button most of buttons for binding are straightforward: "Q", "W", "E", "1", "2", "3", etc, however the naming of some buttons is not as obvious NUMPAD ( / ) KP_SLASH( * ) KP_MULTIPLY( - ) KP_MINUS ( 7 ) KP_HOME( 8 ) KP_UPARROW( 9 ) KP_PGUP( + ) KP_PLUS( 4 ) KP_LEFTARROW( 5 ) KP_5( 6 ) KP_RIGHTARROW( 1 ) KP_END( 2 ) KP_DOWNARROW( 3 ) KP_PGDN( Enter ) KP_ENTER( 0 ) KP_INS( . ) KP_DEL SPECIAL ( Insert ) INS( Home ) HOME( Page Up ) PGUP( Delete ) DEL( End ) END( Page Down ) PGDN ( Up Arrow ) UPARROW( Left Arrow ) LEFTARROW( Down

MOUSE5 toggletoggle function allows to switch between two or more values of a cvar. its syntax: toggle CVAR STATE#1"STATE#2 STATE#3... if CVAR has only "0" and "1" values, then you can omit the "States" few examples: bind "V" "toggle voice_scale 0 0.25 0.5 0.7" - toggles the volume of incoming voice messages from "0%" to "25%" to "50%" to "100%" with "V"-button bind "L" "toggle cl_righthand" - toggles between "weapon-in-left-arm" and "weapon-in-right-arm" states with "L"-button incrementvarincrementvar function increases value of a cvar from one number to another with a determined step. its syntax: incrementvar CVAR INITIAL_STATE END_STATE STEP few examples: bind "TAB" "incrementvar cl_interp 0.01 0.1 0.0025" - changes LERP from "0.01" to 0.1" with a step of 0.0025 with "TAB"-button bind "INS" "incrementvar net_graph 0 3 1" - toggles between various screens of Net-Graph panel with "INSERT"-button aliasalias function allows to assign one or more cvar(s) and their values to a certain variable and then call those cvar(s) by calling that variable. its syntax: alias ALIAS_NAME "CVAR(S) or ANOTHER_ALIAS" example: alias crosshair_red "cl_crosshaircolor_r 255; cl_crosshaircolor_g 0; cl_crosshaircolor_b 0" alias crosshair_green "cl_crosshaircolor_r 0; cl_crosshaircolor_g 255; cl_crosshaircolor_b 0" alias crosshair_blue "cl_crosshaircolor_r 0; cl_crosshaircolor_g 0; cl_crosshaircolor_b 255" bind "J" crosshair_red bind "K" crosshair_green bind "L" crosshair_bluethe code above allows you to change the crosshair's color to red, green or blue by pressing "J", "K" & "L" "alias", at first, seems like a lacking function, but its true power shows up with a switchable-aliases (when you change the content of alias via a different alias), consider the code below: alias buffer crosshair_red; alias crosshair_red "cl_crosshaircolor_r 255; cl_crosshaircolor_g 0; cl_crosshaircolor_b 0; alias buffer crosshair_green" alias crosshair_green "cl_crosshaircolor_r 0; cl_crosshaircolor_g 255; cl_crosshaircolor_b 0; alias buffer crosshair_blue " alias crosshair_blue "cl_crosshaircolor_r 0; cl_crosshaircolor_g 0; cl_crosshaircolor_b 255; alias buffer crosshair_red" bind "J" bufferthe code allows you to use one button - "J" to cycle through red, green and blue crosshairs, it works like that: first we create the alias "buffer" and assign it to alias "crosshair_red" we press "J"-button and alias "buffer" is called, it in turn calls "crosshair_red" alias "crosshair_red" makes a crosshair red, but also changes the alias "buffer" - now it is assign to "crosshair_green" we press "J"-button a second time and alias "buffer" is called, but now it calls "crosshair_green" alias "crosshair_green" makes a crosshair green, but also changes the alias "buffer" to "crosshair_blue" we press "J"-button a second time and, as you get it now, alias "crosshair_blue" is called in the end of that code "crosshair_blue" assigns "buffer" back to "crosshair_red", forming a loop (or cycle) actionsactions are various action-commands that a player can do it the game, for example: forward back moveleft moveright jump duck speed (walk) use drop impulse 100 (flashlight) impulse 201 (spray) radio1 radio2 radio3 menuselect 1-9 attack (shoot) attack2 (weapon's alt mode) reload invnext (next item) invprev (prev item) lastinv (last used item)

alias, 2 waitwait is a function that pauses (waits) a certain amount of ticks before executing next cvar. its syntax: wait TICKS the tick a certain timespan that relies on your fps, so, say "wait 15" with 100 fps will act different than "wait 15" with 60 fps. in other words you need to test what tick works better on your hardware, so take your time to check your config wait is useful when you are creating a bind that will affect (or will rely upon) animation's end plus and minus (+ -)plus and minus signs (+ -) are special modifiers that executes a cvar or function when a certain button is pressed (+) or when it is released (-) example #1: alias +slowmo "host_timescale 0.2" alias -slowmo "host_timescale 1" bind "Q" +slowmothe code slowdowns time when the "Q"-button is pressed ("+slowmo") and restores the time to normal when "Q"-button is released ("-slowmo") example #2: alias +jumpDuck" +jump; +duck;" alias -jumpDuck" -jump; -duck;" bind "ALT" +jumpDuckthe code allows to jump-duck when the "ALT"-button is pressed PS, we do not use the code below, because character will jump-and-duck non-stop: bind "ALT" +jump; +duck; various binds, 1 quick-buying weapon and equipmentyou can create a bind for quick-buying various weapon and equipment; the list of publishable goods is: pistols: "glock" (9x19mm Sidearm) "usp" (KM .45 Tactical) "p228" (228 Compact) "fn57"
