<div class="IPBDescription">more than one set of configs...</div> K this sounds complicated but here it goes,
say I have three different configs one for aliens one for marine and one for com how do I have it so that, say I jump into the com chair I want my com config on so I pull down my console and type yadda yadda exec config then if im all of a sudden aliens I want to get that config going etc how do I do this? how do I have all three configs waiting for me in my folder, and what commands do I have to use in order to active each one? also what do i name them in order for them all to be in the same folder as well?
and if a admin screws with my configs(hasnt happened yet but you never do know... ) do i just type in the command for which ever config i need (com, marine, alien) and it resets..?
So could you guys tell me how to set this all up, ??
thanks.

alien.cfg
comm.cfg
marine.cfg
For aliens, go to your conosle and type
exec alien.cfg
Now you should have everything setup according to your alien config. Name changes may be stopped by the server, but that's no biggie.
If you're not familiar with the bindings this is what you can do. Setup all your keys for aliens in ns and exit the game. Now go into your halflife/ns folder and make a copy of config.cfg. Rename it to alien.cfg
Now start up ns again and setup the keys for marines, exit, copy config.cfg, rename... rinse and repeat for commander.
If you know what commands do what you can simply edit config.cfg in notepad and change the bindings from there then save each setup with a different filename.
bind "DOWNARROW" "exec bug.cfg"
bind "LEFTARROW" "exec marine.cfg"
bind "RIGHTARROW" "exec commander.cfg"
I place those 3 binds in the 3 specific cfgs. That way I can change my cfgs on the fly with a touch of a button.
(or read the book wich is aporz 200 times better ;D)

alias dv1 "developer 1"
alias dv0 "develiper 0"
alias tog "tog1"
alias tog1 "dv1; echo Alien Config loaded; dv0; exec alien.cfg; alias tog tog2"
alias tog2 "dv1; echo Marine Config loaded; dv0; exec alien.cfg; alias tog tog3"
alias tog3 "dv1; echo commander Config Loaded; dv0; exec commander.cfg; alias tog tog1"
add to a .cfg called autoexec.cfg which NS will auto run at startup
bing the key u want to use to switch between to "tog"
eg: bind f5 "tog"
there u go will be alot better added echo's so u can see which config u have loaded and made one key cycle through all .cfg files
