How to enable console commands and bind them.
Go to C:/Program/Steam/SteamApps/common/call of duty black ops/players
Open config.cfg with a text editor (Notepad/Wordpad)
Press Ctrl+F this opens search window. Search for the word monkey.
This will direct you to seta monkeytoy"0", replace the 0 with 1.
Now you are ready to set your binds. Go all the way to the bottom of the file and press enter twice.
Make a new line for each bind!

Examples:
If you press 5 you will say Max ammo! in the chat.
Type: bind 5 "say Max ammo!"
Note, you need the " " in the bind.

If you want to use noclip by pressing J type in:
bind J "noclip"

Note: Cheats (Noclipping, God mode, etc. do not work on online)

IMPORTANT: After you have done your binds and saved the file you must put your file on "read only" mode. To do that, right click on the file and open the properties. Check the tick box read only.
Other useful tweaks and commands
How to get your FPS to show in zombies/singleplayer and see which player is host:
Open up the search and search FPS. You will find seta cg_drawFPS "0"
Replace 0 with 1.

How to add clan tag for zombies:
As with other binds make a new line and write: seta clanName "your clan name"

How to replenish ammo:
Bind key you want to use and add "give ammo"

How to add colors to text binds:
When you put ^ and color code infront of the text you can have text in different color.

Here are the color codes:
^1 RED
^2 GREEN
^3 YELLOW
^4 BLUE
^5 TEAL
^6 PINK
^7 WHITE
^8 GREY
^9 BROWN
^0 BLACK
^@ BROWN-ORANGE
^= LIGHTER BLUE
^; DARKER GREEN
^: DARKER RED
^> LIGHTER GREY
^< ORANGE
^? PURPLE
F.A.Q
Q: I can't find the config.cfg
A: If you have trouble finding the right folder just search Steam from your computer and it should find the steam folder for you directly. From there go to the SteamApps -> common -> call of duty black ops -> players

I've set monkeytoy to both 0 and 1 to see which works and neither allows me to use the commands. I also set the config file to read only.

The reason this doesn't work for people is because you tell them:
to change seta monkeytoy "0" to seta monkeytoy"1"
monkeytoy is 1 by default so they're probably just leaving it the default. For cheats to work it needs to be set to 0.

As long as you put all the binds below the "unbindall" line, you shouldn't have to set the file read only. At least I haven't had to. I mean you could set it read only if you don't want your custom lines to move around, but when the game regenerates the file, all it does is sort the binds in alphabetical order. Regardless, it should still work

Did you remember to set the file to 'read only'?

console commands can be activated in the main menu options so this is pointless

Doesn't work, i can see the game saying demi god or god mode on or off on the top left corner of the main menu but the moment i start a solo zombie maps it doesn't work, even made a bind for devmap "map name" and still didn't work
