I've actually found that disabling cheats right after loading a map and then reloading makes the game kinda "confused". I once set mat_hdr_uncapexposure and mat_force_bloom to 1 with cheats disabled and it turned them on without giving me "U CANNOT USE DIS! CHEATS R DISABLED!". Basically, the game messes up and you can use certain cheat commands, but still get achievements.
And again, people. If there's anything in the CFG you don't like, comment it or delete it! I don't care.

Quantum. Not me.
Multithreading is [I]not[/I] obsolete. It's basically a supplement to multicore. All multicore does is set mat_queue_mode from -2 to -1. And multithreading is really only unstable if you're using Windows 7. The four commands I left in there are completely stable on Windows XP.

_fov 90

Wrong. The options menu slider sets fov_desired, no these two. I have also since added "viewmodel_fov 62" to this little category.
[QUOTE=KarmaPolice]r_decal_cullsize 0 //Wouldn't want pixel-high bullet holes not to be visible from half-way across the map, would we?[/QUOTE]
I would. If there's a bunch of decals close to each other, one can see them almost the whole way across a map. You could also set this to 1 to save a(n?) FPS or two and still get a similar effect.
Now can we all stop throwing stones before somebody gets banned?
My progress for "One Man Army" and "Bug Hunt" were just erased. :<

No, you just don't know what those configs do and say that he doesn't.
If you don't even know what an envmap is then don't assume everyone else doesn't.
[QUOTE=Magman77;22385568]If you don't even know what an envmap is then don't assume everyone else doesn't.[/QUOTE]
I know what an envmap is. I also know that they're built at a set resolution determined by the mapper, and that changing those commands in the console after the cubemaps have already been built does absolutely nothing. Those commands are just there to pad the config so it looks big and fancy.

When you increase the envmap size (considering no materials in Half-Life are completely reflective) it stretches the built cubemap into a larger size so that you don't get the squaring effect, that can be see as a "square of light" in many reflective textures.
Trust me it does make it look better and it is noticeable on higher resolutions.

Common bug. Just restart the game.
Holy fuck. Did anyone notice the secret room in Nova Prospekt's wash room? I went there, and one of the dark rooms and blood in it. So I walked in and got attacked by a Poison zombie from the darkness. Hooooly shit.
Sorry I'm late to the thread but does anyone have an autoexec config that makes HL2 / EP1 look their best? I don't want to use that other one posted earlier since everyone is complaining about how crap it is. I just want one that most people can agree is good.
