AIM OF THIS GUIDE:

-Hello people, I made this guide for people who came from TF2 and started to play TF:Classic.
I've witnessed many people who got trouble to learn game and master game controls. Reason is TF:Classic is very different from TF2 in many different ways. Therefore in this guide I would like to share my game knowledge with you.

WHERE DO WE START:

-First of all, you need to know VALVE published an update for TF:Classic in 2019 and it messed up with game's files. This issue fixed by them right away after several hours. Why I am telling you this for
we will switch the game to beta format, in order to use our cfg files. Otherwise, you won't be able activate them or use them properly, this also mess with your controls too.

[Step #1]: Open up your Library page.










[Step #2]: Right Click on your game and open properties.

















[Step #3]:Go to BETAs tab.

















[Step#4]:Then Switch the game to Steam Pipe Beta format.

Where are CFG Files ?
-You can find them through game's location on your pc. But First we need to set up "useconfig.cfg"
I'll share the link of an example down below in links.

EXAMPLE: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Half-Life\tfc

KEY LIST FOR TF:CLASSIC

http://tfcresource.teamfortressclassic.org/Team%20Fortress%20Classic%20-%20Newbies%20Guide/www.users.on.net/_garsha/binds_commands_game.html

How can I change weapon models in this game ?

-LOCATED HERE: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Half-Life\tfc\models

PYRO'S Ugly Incendiary Cannon:

-I don't like to look of this gun it is just Half-Life's rpg with no team color coded. It uses shares same model with half life's rpg btw. I recommend you to use this model instead. It is more fitting model for this gun, in my opinion.

Link of model: !!! NOTE: when you downloaded it change model name it to "v_rpg" and then put it into models folder of TF:Classic. Reason is, this model originally made for grenade launcher but it works very well with Incendiary Cannon because both weapon's anmations named as same, perhaps.

to make it look like this





This model I shared it's link is also doesn't disrupt TF:Classic's original style.
