Hey, I got a new HD and I'm trying to remake my class configs. The problem is when I originally wrote these it was before the Steampipe update and now I am not familiar with the correct folder path.

I'm pretty sure the old one was steamapps/common/team_fortres_2/tf/cfg/scout.cfg and the new is steamapps/common/team_fortres_2/tf/custom/mystuff/cfg/scout.cfg (or just mystuff/scout.cfg, idk). The problem is none of these work.

Here are the screens of the two folder paths I'm using and the contents of the cfg:

Specifically, if I type 'exec scout.cfg' or 'exec scout' in console, it tells me the file doesn't exist. When I switch classes it doesn't exec any class config.

What's going wrong?

this one is correct
steamapps/common/team_fortres_2/tf/custom/mystuff/cfg/scout.cfg

edit: also try disabling steam cloud.

It has to be a config file. Not just renamed with .cfg at the end.

To do this, just save it as a cfg file.

Might be that your .cfg files have a hidden .txt extension on the end of them. From your pic mtp is listed as a 'cfg file', while the others are all 'text document'.

Try this to show the full extension, then remove the .txt at end:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-au/windows/show-hide-file-name-extensions#show-hide-file-name-extensions=windows-vista

To confirm this, you should be able to 'exec mtp' in console, as it shows up as a cfg file.
