Hello, this is going to sound strange.

I have been playing ET (casually at best, typically once a month or so)

I finally downloaded et legacy, copied my cfg into my new et main folder.

Weird things don’t work (don’t laugh) I have my weapon and different than standard, and it won’t change from the standard.

My class script isn’t work, my crosshair toggle isn’t working, my crouch toggle isn’t working.

Is there something in the commands/config that should be different?

Are you playing on different servers/mods?

copied my cfg into my new et main folder
He did copied it into etmain u/arons20 We do not recommend to use old 2.60b configs on legacy mod.

It is named autoexec, I did try changing the name and executing it (it definitely worked) but no scripts worked.

Yes I put the cfg in et main

I loaded my 2.6 just to make sure it worked and everything worked on there.

I can edit a new cfg file but if I code the new one the same it probably won’t work anyway

Put copies of it in your mod folders (legacy/jaymod/nitmod/etc).

Can you point me in the right direction to find config examples for legacy? I'm running a potato laptop and I know I can tweak the graphics settings to try to at least maintain a steady fps but I cant for the life of me remember how.

you didn't answer properly any of my question

where exactly - full path

filename - maybe you are missing .cfg in filename?

try to add echo "test" in the config and run exec autoexec in console to see if its being loaded at all

I don't think this solves anything

It should. As each mod has its own separate cfg.
Perhaps, elaborate on why you think this doesn't work?

both 2.60b and ET:L will try find the autoexec.cfg in etmain directory regradles of what mod is loaded

you said copies so I assumed identical copies. If you have the same file its much easier to just have 1 copy in etmain

the things he claims to be not working should work the same on all mods, so there doesn't need to be some modification for each mod

Technically both should find the autoexec in etmain, but in practice I found this to not always be true. Putting it in every mod folder solved this for me.
