And can we upload this very small sized file to the site somewhere? the current file posted will expire in about 90 days for download I again heard some frustration from people picking up guns by mistake the other day, so I am adding this again to the forums, and I hope this is found to be useful to those people. YES YOU CAN STILL PICK UP GUNS AND OPEN DOORS IF YOU WANT BY PUSHING F (SEE FAQS BELOW FOR DETAILS) OPTION #1 You can download the AutoThaw toggler from here http://www.enterupload.com/puqy34gciu23/AutoThaw.cfg.html PASSWORD IS XI TO DOWNLOAD FILE I should probably add the directions: Place the file in your C:\Program Files\Activision\Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare\main You may want to rename the file to something else (update win7 users may need to click "COMPATIBILITY FILES" to see this file in windows explorer after the "MAIN" folder is selected on the left panel) When you open the game type /exec autothaw.cfg or /exec (filename).cfg If you would like to change the button it is assigned to: Double click the file and a window will open that says "Windows can not open this file" Click "Select a program from a list" and click "OK" Another window will open with some programs to choose from UNclick the little box that says "Always use the selected program to open this type of file" Find "NotePad" in the list, click it one time and click "OK" You will see this: //========================================//AUTOTHAW TOGGLER=================//========================================set thawon "+activate; set fgt vstr thawoff" set thawoff "-activate; set fgt vstr thawon" set fgt "vstr thawon" bind f "vstr fgt"//scripted by PrimalFear for XI Freezetag//www.xtremeidiots2.com/ OPTION #2 You can cut and paste the above info into your own .cfg file (make a new file, don't add this to an existing file) FAQS WILL I STILL BE ABLE TO OPEN DOORS, AND PICK UP GUNS IF I WANT TO? YES All this file does is it changes your F button to a toggle, push it once to turn it on, push it again to turn it off. So if it is on and you see a gun or door, you push it once to turn it off and a 2nd time to pick up a gun or open a door etc. WILL PUNKBUSTER KICK ME OR BAN ME FOR USING THIS FILE? NO! you will not be kicked or banned by punkbuster for using this file, when I created this file for >XI< freezetag several years ago, I submitted this file to punkbuster and they confirmed that pb would not kick or ban for this file. However (please read and understand this) although there is no Punkbuster violation, some clans choose to not allow "vstrings" on their servers, they might have server settings that will kick you for using this, but you will not be banned, only kicked until you turn it off by restarting the game. Will this change my game files at all? NO this is a "vstring" script file, it will be completely removed when you restart your game and not change any of your game files except that your F button will be unbound in your menu and you can reassign it to F at anytime from the game options menu. Do I have to type /exec autothaw.cfg everytime I restart the game? Yes this file will be removed everytime you "hard" restart the game (no not each map as some have thought) only when the game has been completely closed and reopened, and will leave your F key unbound in the menu, you can either reassign the command to F in the game menu or retype /exec autothaw.cfg in your console to turn it on. There is a way to add this to your main config file, but to prevent people from messing up something they might not understand, I'm not including that information here. Will this work on MW2 ftag as well as server 1 & 2? YES confirmed I use it all the time If you have any troubles using this file please let me know and I will help you best I can, enjoy ================================================================================== Special note to specific clan member as requested: This is the prior thread when the forums where moved here 2 years ago from the old website, for reference only http://www.xtremeidiots.com/fora_topic.asp?tid=83

If you were going to do it that way, I would recommend /bind F +activate /bind G -activate or something similar, only downside is you would use 2 buttons instead of just one, some of the maps have lots of doors and that 5 seconds could turn into a chore if you have to open console alot, it's all a personal preference of course. But all 3 methods will accomplish the same task. Good post SOB

U just have to use the key u choose 2x when u join the svr. When u want to deactivat it u use the key 1x and for activate it again another 1x. So u don´t have to type anything else in the console or somewhere else ;-) Awards

You said the above today and you said the below 2 years ago when I shared the exact same file, what has changed? Just tryin to help people out dude, that's all. People pick up somebody's empty gun and get shot all the time, they find that frustrating after awhile and these alternatives make the game more fun for them. It's just a preference. http://www.xtremeidiots.com/fora_topic.asp?tid=83 greywolf2 Thanks primal fear for adding that for those who (Not me lol) dont want to pick up another gun.... Good job

So i just wanted to let you knowPrimalFear that I have been using that config file for 2.5 or 3 years and I love it, it is extremely helpful, to not have to lose your gun almost everytime you defrost, (as a frontline player that is) (but hey you wanna stay in the back thats cool, the team needs defrosters) when you hit that spot where there is a lot of people froze, with this config you don't have to pickup 5 different guns just to get back to your own it makes it very nice. also I like the fact that you can still open doors, and disarm claymores. so thanks again for this config file primal.
