One would imagine you can enter the full path.

But why bother? Just stick the config in baseq3. Far easier.

Dont have the access to it

let me guess, you cant see the appdata folder

Quaking at uni, or in the library? :)

Borrowed laptop from work. Zero user rights

:D

Even with a high FPS config won't it run like shit? Office laptops tend to be, well, shit.

I would test for you but I'm in OSX atm working (as such).

You may need string characters (exec "c:\blah\cooller.cfg") around the path to allow spaces and slashes.

For the last couple of years I played QL on a shitty old laptop with 40-70 FPS on lowest settings possible. On this one I get stable 125 FPS but it's heating up a lot so I'm a little worried.

I'm sure you do this already, but keep it in a well ventilated area. By an open window would be optimal.

Have you tried exec with full path yet?

says couldn't exec

Tried putting it at drive root; c:\config.cfg ?

Again, don't have rights. Ended up using the competitive preset config with my binds. It's good enough. The problem is I don't have my mouse and pad with me so I have to use some Genius mouse that appears to have a huge acceleration. Can't even plasmaclimb to red with it, it goes crazy.

bind your most valued cvars to a button?

eg

bind p "r_vertexlight 1; r_picmip 10; vid_restart"

How did you even install it then?

Dunno, tried it before when it was still in browser and it didn't work. I installed it to desktop and it gave me a few errors but the installation went through. Also managed to install Q2 multiplayer, Dosbox and utorrent by some miracle. Tried to install countless of other programs and games but it didn't let me.

You just game after work? or you just happy to get fired?

I translate some websites from home on my free time for a company that I used to work for. They lent me a laptop because mine stopped working.

I used to run QL from a USB drive when I was at Uni, I just had to create a junction for the "id software" folder on the uni machine under my user profile.

Now QL is standalone, not sure about how to deal with the launcher so it updates files, but

+set fs_basepath "C:/Users/USERNAME/AppData/LocalLow/id Software/quakelive" +set fs_homepath "C:/Users/USERNAME/AppData/LocalLow/id Software/quakelive/home/"

is the default for quakelive.exe, but you can change that so you could run it from any location directly too.

you can pull the rest of the parameters the launcher uses to start quakelive.exe from quakelive_launcher.log that you will find in %temp% (type literally that including percent symbols into start>run or explorer address bar to jump into the right dir) there is some account specific stuff there so don't show it anywhere.

Thanks, I'll try it

Create junction with a subfolder?
