Can you have it all in one so that we can copy/paste it?

[chocolatepie33]

Are you gonna update this soon?

[Leo_V117]

Yeah... Now...

[daltonds1]

Wrong Section?
Shouldn't this be in tuts

Any way nice job

[chocolatepie33]

Well, maybe people go here cuz support q's get answered here faster, so it'd just be easier...

Leo, on Sandbox, when I start a map, it says "unknown command: ]" three times. Three ] in a row. I think it has to do with my autoexec.cfg.
I added the Recorder (B button), Easy Edit (I button) and Crosshairs (O button).
Can you try to fix up a new file for me so it doesn't say that?

(We are in support, and it is about scripting commands.)

[Leo_V117]

Send me the file and ill fix it up for you. And a quick update for the rest of you... Theres a very long example code coming up for the new recorder system of mine. Its a very clever piece of code, so chocolatepie33: you may want to take that one instead, I managed to stop all the errors.

[chocolatepie33]

alright, as long as I can keep my crosshairs and easy edit apps too.
