Anyone whos familiar with alias in Q2

[AuraEdge]

Q2 command lines (shift= zoom in)
----------------------------------
alias +aim "fov 30; sensitivity 4"

alias -aim "fov 90;wait;wait;wait;wait;wait;wait;wait;wait;wait;wa it; sensitivity 8"

bind shift "+aim"
----------------------------
This line of commands work, but when I quit q2 and go back into it, It sayd "unknown command "+aim"", and when I release, it said "unknown command "-aim""
Its like It doesnr retain alias after quiting. Ive tryed all mods (RA2, CTF 1.5, base) How come It doesnt save aliases?

Those *.cfg files are in the baseq2 dir.

Teh syntax lines are in your autoexec.cfg file in baseq2 right?

Q2 is funny about saving config files. If you play only in teh basic game dir, not playing a mod at all, then put in the command lines, it "might" save it!

It is funny but everytime you play a mod, it creates a new config.cfg in the mod's directory, and these cfg's will overwrite the settings in the games directory.

I usually delete any config.cfg in any directory other than baseq2 when making system changes. This way, the new config cfg created in the 'mods' directory is the same as the one in baseq2 when its created.

You can also type in "exec autoexec.cfg" from the console even while playing to fix it at the last moment!

It still doesnt save aliases. Am I doin it wrong? I was playin mod CTF, does that matter?

It should work. My zoom alias is a little different, nothing major.

I dont have any 'set' commands in mine and my alias is somewhere at the top of the list. Heres mine:set run_roll 0
set run_pitch 0
set bob_up 0
set bob_pitch 0

Is that the config.cfg file or the autoexec.cfg file?
