== Client Auto Map Scripts ==

When a map loads or restarts, the client will look for the following scripts and run them if found:

* autoexec_(mapname).cfg
* autoexec_default.cfg

For example if the map rotates to battery, the client would look for autoexec_battery.cfg and run it. If autoexec_battery.cfg is not found, it would try to run autoexec_default.cfg instead.

== Client Auto Team/Class Scripts ==

When players spawn with a changed team or class, the client will look for the following scripts and run them if found:

* autoexec_axis.cfg
* autoexec_allies.cfg
* autoexec_spectator.cfg

* autoexec_soldier.cfg
* autoexec_medic.cfg
* autoexec_engineer.cfg
* autoexec_fieldops.cfg
* autoexec_covertops.cfg

These are only run when the team or class changes, they are not run on every spawn.

-When connecting to any server, the client will look for the file ''AutoExec.cfg'' in the base folder of whatever mod the '''client''' is running, in ETPro's case this would be ''\Wolfenstein - Enemy Territory\etpro\'' and if found that file will be launched. It is advised that you start up the client with the mod of the server you are connecting to. This is especially true if you have a different config for each mod.
+When started, ET attempts to load and the file ''autoexec.cfg''. If you start with <tt>+set fs_game <mod directory></tt> ET looks in the fs_game directory first. Some external server browsers may do this for you when you connect to a server that is running a mod.
