Editing your MW2 MP Config

[xXH4XM@ST3RXx]

Hey Y'all.
I'm going to list all of the important lines of the MP Config, what they do, and how you can edit them for better gameplay.

Lets get started.

THIS IS NOT VAC BANNABLE!

First of all, MW2 MP Config is in.. for XP USERS
C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\call of duty modern warfare 2\players > config_mp.cfg

For WINDOWS 7 OR VISTA USERS its in..
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\call of duty modern warfare 2\players > config_mp.cfg

Open the File with WORDPAD. NotePad can screw up the formatting, and lead to disaster.

Lines that peak the interest:

Shows an indicator when there a flash/stun grenade is thrown near you
seta cg_hudGrenadeIconEnabledFlash "1" (default value is 0)

Amount of packets sent per second
seta cl_maxpackets "100" (default value is 30)

This will connect you to a server with maximum X amount of ping
seta cl_maxPing "110" (default value is 800)

Max frames per second shown
seta com_maxfps "250" (default value is 85)

Disable/enable lagometer
seta drawLagometer "1" (default value is 0)

Enable/disable dynamic environment, ie objects will move when shot at etc
seta dynEnt_active "0" (default value is 1)

Enable/disable your HUD
seta hud_enable "1" (default value is 1)

Set the amount of anti-aliasing
seta r_aaSamples "16" (default value is 2)

Enable/disable distortion from weapons, explosions etc
seta r_distortion "0" (default value is 1)

Number of dynamic lights
seta r_dlightLimit "0" (default value is 4)

Enable/disable depth of field
seta r_dof_enable "0" (default value is 1)

Play in fullscreendowed mode (fullscreen is 1, windowed is 0)
seta r_fullscreen "1" (default value is 1)

Amount of ping bars shown, the more ping bars, the more precise ping will be shown
seta cg_ScoresPing_MaxBars "10" (default value is 4)

Ping interval
seta cg_ScoresPing_Interval "20" (default is 100)
Explanation: If you have ping interval on 100 it means you have a 100 ping when you have full bars. If you have your ping interval on 20 it means you have 20 ping if you have full bars, and 20 extra ping for each bar that is gone, so if you have 6/10 bars you have a 100 ping.


NEW LINES

Sun Removal
seta r_drawSun "0" (default is 1)
Removes sun, potentially glare, not sure if this one works right, but it won't crash your game or anything1

Player Position Update
seta snaps "30" (default is 20)
Number of times to update player postions, should smooth out movement and hit registration

In-Game Music on/off
seta snd_cinematicVolumeScale "0" (default is 0.5)
to turn off in game music, because you can't do it through the options menu

Shell Ejaculation
seta cg_brass "0" (default is 1)
shells ejecting from your gun, 0 to get higher fps


Basically, The bolded headings are what the line is about, and the underlined parts are what you should change the value to. Italicized are in depth explanation (for more confusing configs).

Change your values to these to enhance your gaming experience.

You may not want all of these as I have them set up, so pick and choose. I also understand that this might not be helpful to everyone.

I also uploaded a .rar of custom configs.
The CURRENT config is the one I use, the FPS config is for slow computers, to increase your FPS.

Thank me if I helped. ;]

[fedex357]

im thinking this IS bannable....... correct?

[crisz008]

Fedex357
Yes, some are.

[iDEAD]

this isn't bannable if you don't do anything major

[manstabber]

editing a .cfg file can NEVER GET YOU VAC BANNED
and if you think it can, then you are a n00b.

Well you never know. Once the hack is in the VAC hack list you will get banned unless you use a good VAC disabler.

you might "never know" but since im not a total n00b like you, I "ALWAYS KNOW" that editing a .cfg file will NEVER GET YOU BANNED, how the fuck can your config file get added to the "vac hack list"?¿

wow
just wow

[Joshb3709]

I agree, editing the config is like editing the ingame options, and some of the commands you can use aren't in options menu, so no you can't be banned.

[xXH4XM@ST3RXx]

Now now, boys and girls, the threadstarter is here to clear things up for some of you unruly protesters.

You CANNOT GET VAC BANNED FOR THIS.

Why? Simple.

VAC SCANS FOR .DLL's and .EXE's, it doesn't scan the .cfg's.

Accidental Double Post. Stupid wait 30 seconds rule.

[Azathᴏth]

Man, great guide. And yes, this most likely will not get you VAC banned. VAC doesn't scan its own .cfg files.

[xXH4XM@ST3RXx]

Thanks ^_^.
Correct.
Just so some ch00bs know.
