//  ������������������������������������ Notes ��������������������������������ͻ
//
//	For the unfamiliar, this autoexec.cfg file will help you take a
//	stock installation of Quake Live and customize it to provide an
//	improved experience while playing. Many of these options are very
//	detailed and cannot be found in the menus of the game.
//
//	Every player has their own preferences when it comes to their config
//	so take the values here with a grain of salt. What works for me may
//	not work for you.
//
//	To use these settings, make sure the file is named autoexec.cfg to
//	ensure that the game automatically loads it. The next step is
//	dependent on whether or not you launch Quake Live from Steam or the
//	standalone client. You will need to move it to the appropriate
//	directory in order for the game to find it.
//
//	Steam Users: \Steam\SteamApps\common\Quake Live\<SteamID64>\baseq3
//	W7/W8 Users: %AppData%\..\LocalLow\id Software\quakelive\home\baseq3
//	XP Users: %appdata%\id Software\quakelive\home\baseq3
//
//	The CVAR (command variable) explanations wouldn't be possible without
//	the help of http://www.regurge.at/ql - make sure to check the site
//	out for	lots of other commands and helpful explanations. The appendix
//	also contains a lot of useful things like color codes, crosshair chart,
//	and lots more.
//
//	Need help? Want to yell at me for my stupid choice in CVAR values?
//	Add me in game as a friend with username fragtastic!
