any link to combined to single cfg?

Just let me know if you can find the *USE Commands* example - use weapon_flashbang and the rest. (NOT AS AN SLOT)

BRO, YOU ARE MY HERO. I had my configs (work of 10 years) and I followed them up for a while. After the update, 70% didn't work. This helped me a lot. Still, there is a lot missing but this closed 50% of my errors. Thanks a lot
Sethioz 30 Oct, 2023 @ 2:37am 
only reason i found this, is because i want to change HUD color to something that is NOT in the in-game settings, but there's nothing about it.
in-game "purple" is pink .. and i don't want it pink. i want it same as my crosshair, which is close to 155,0,255

does anyone know where the cs2 hud config is saved on PC? i only found graphics settings and other configs, but not where hud and crosshair are saved.
i want a CUSTOM color, not a preset provided by game.
