config_default.cfg reworked

[Tiagoquix]

• Removed spawnmenu_icon_precache because it is not a valid command;
• Modified the mp_decals to the value of 2048 to equal the value of r_decals (r_decals gets resetted everytime you launch the game, so setting r_decals to 5000 will get its value back to 2048 when you relaunch the game, while mp_decals still with the value of 5000 because mp_decals it is stored in the config.cfg file, while r_decals is not, and to make both equal, here is the solution);
• Modified the value of the sensitivity command to the value of 6 instead of 8.

And that is it.

You will anger the gods if you make whitespace changes. As for the rest, there's probably reasons commands were put there that you don't know about. I also disagree with the binding changes.

Haha.

Yeah, probably these commands have reasons to currently exist in the file. About the bindings, I think it's better like this.

[Kefta]

I do not agree with changing default bindings, especially switching V and X.

On TF2 (and I believe on many Source games) the default binding for voice chat is the letter V (except CS:GO, which is K).

[Kefta]

Or Dota which is G. I think X is a better choice.

I do not disagree, but I also think the letter V is a good letter (V as if it came from the word Voice). If I see more people not agreeing to this change here, I’ll reverse it.

~ is the default key for US keyboards, while other layouts use ```, it's how the engine translates the key codes (it's not aware of keyboard layouts)
And in that regard, about F10: https://garry.tv/more-stuff-i-did

z as undo is a reference to CTRL+Z in desktop applications, it's what feels most natural
x I actually use that for voice chat for various resons, so it's something I also do on other games, I don't see why you'd want to change that

I agree with most of the convars being redundant in that config, but reverting sensitivity back to the default 3 sounds a bit weird, at least make it 5?

And I see no reason why you'd want to lower the decal limits at all

Removed r_decals because the default value it's already 2048;

It's set to 5000, not 2048, so this statement makes no sense
by default r_decals = 2048 & mp_decals = 200

Alright, I'll update this.

5 seems to be a good value.

I made a typo, if you see what I wrote later, you'll understand why:

• Modified the mp_decals to the value of 2048 to equal the value of r_decals (r_decals gets resetted every time you launch the game);

Everytime you launch the game, the r_decals command goes back to its default value of 2048, unless you set it in your launch options or in the autoexec.cfg file. However, the mp_decals command does not goes back to its default value, because it is stored in the config.cfg file, while r_decals is not.

• Pointless white space changes don't belong here. You know how separating blocks of similar things with whitespace is a common thing?
• Removing stuff from the file because "it is already set to the default value" is also wrong, have you considered the file may be ran to reset stuff to their default values in case something doesn't work properly?
• I also don't get what the decal convar changes meant to accomplish. r_decals is set to the value of server's mp_decals when joining a server. ( I imagine r_decals is set to client's mp_decals for local servers/singleplayer )

Did not think about that. Thanks for sharing your point of view.

r_decals should be the same value of mp_decals, r_decals are for singleplayer decals (decals that appears both on singleplayer and multiplayer), and mp_decals are for multiplayer decals (decals that appears only on multiplayer games), and I do not understand why they are different in the config_default.cfg file. As I said earlier, r_decals gets resetted to 2048, while mp_decals do not. I learned from Team Fortress 2 that they should be the same, and how Garry's Mod uses Source too, I think this knowledge should be applied here too.
