Afro's CSS config

A few years ago I used to play CSS (Counter-Strike Source) obsessively and I had made a nice FPS config. I didn't add any original material, I just chopped up Casey's config, DT's config and the CEVO FPS config, took the best aspects (for me) from each one and turned it into "Grim's Custom CFG" (gr1m is my Steam/game name).

There are no disappearing bodies. I hated that about Casey's, I love the bodies acting normal and flying backwards or slumping over when they die. Also, there are no graphics options in this CFG; you have to apply the CFG and then turn video settings down to low, medium or high from inside CSS. The point of my config was to give you the shot registry/server optimization advantages of most FPS configs without taking away from performance if you have the hardware to run it.

For example:
- I used this config with all video settings on low for my 7950GT/X2 5200 rig.
- I also used it with all video settings on high for my 4890/X3 720 rig.
Both rigs got 121FPS constant. Both rigs also got all the optimization advantages of a CSS FPS config; the only thing that changed was the graphics quality.

How to apply this config:

If you already have an autoexec.cfg file, follow these steps:
  • Step 1: Download the attached CFG file (called grim.cfg)
  • Step 2: Put it in your CFG folder: C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Steam\\steamapps\\*youraccountname*\\counte r-strike source\\cstrike\\cfg
  • Step 3: Open your autoexec.cfg file and add the line "exec grim.cfg"
  • Step 4: Load up CSS, change your video settings accordingly, and enjoy.
If you do not have an autoexec.cfg file, follow these steps:
  • Step 1: Download the attached CFG file (called grim.cfg)
  • Step 2: Download the second attached CFG file (called autoexec.cfg)
  • Step 3: Put them both in your CFG folder: C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Steam\\steamapps\\*youraccountname*\\counte r-strike source\\cstrike\\cfg
  • Step 4: Load up CSS, change your video settings accordingly, and enjoy.
To create a CFG file, follow these steps:
  • Step 1: Create a new .txt file (notepad)
  • Step 2: Click on file and Save As.
  • Step 3: *important* Change Save file type to "all files".
  • Step 4: Save as "name.cfg". It will now be saved as a CFG file.
Example: creating an autoexec.cfg file; follow these steps:
  • Step 1: Create a new .txt file (notepad)
  • Step 2: Add the line "exec grim.cfg"
  • Step 3: Save As, change save file types to all files and save as "autoexec.cfg"
  • Step 4: Now move the new autoexec.cfg CFG file you created and grim.cfg to the cfg folder (C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Steam\\steamapps\\*youraccountname*\\counte r-strike source\\cstrike\\cfg)

No clue. He has some crosshair settings which I excluded because crosshairs are personal preference IMO. He also has no (or very little) registry or lag compensation features; his is purely an FPS config which modifies graphics settings. Mine does not modify graphics settings, it helps optimize your CSS for minimum lag and maximum shot registry.

He also has net_graph 3 which is another personal preference thing.

*Oh yeah, and mine turns all CT and T models into the default models for uniformity. It's basically a good config for competitive play.
Aha... Thanks
Any clue what the cvar was for the ragdoll time? Such as they would dissapear immediately after dieing. I cant remember it for the life of me.

cl_ragdoll_physics_enable "0"

I turned it to 1 because like I said, I hate disappearing bodies.

I've never played CS. Does this mean I'm going to Hell?
Not really. I fail to see why you would post that though.

Sorry but this is a poor cfg ... i actually got a lose in performance and i really would not say its for competitive play at all.
Can I still crank up the eye candy and have better registry? I know one of the reasons I quit playing CSS trypants style is because I had terrible reg on anything other than Pennsylvania (or then South Carolina) servers.. We need to discuss some shtuffs over steam.

+rep for the ghey background and tutorial though.

You definitely did something wrong then.

That's kind of a lot of what I talk about in the intro

I still play cs:s competitively. 2-0 cevo, 12-2 in eco. I may use some of the commands from your cfg, the cfg I have now is so cluttered from years and years of adding stuff to it that I am thinking of starting fresh lol.
Nice. I found some configs overdo it. Just play the game breh, y'know. This one just has simple registry/lag compensation commands.

Since you play competitive currently, do you mind trying it out and giving it a verdict? I'd like feedback. It's what I've used the entire time I played in CAL, CEVO and BOE (BOE and CAL-O on current account, CEVO and CAL-P on old one, stolen long ago), but second opinions are more than welcome.

*edit
Speaking of BOE, does anybody know if BOE-proof will appear on Steam IDs?
