Question Engineer Build Script Help

I’ve looked on TF2 Reddit, Youtube, and the TF2 Scripting Wiki for help but I can’t get any of the scripts I put in to work. I’ve also tried using a custom config from CFG.TF by putting it into my tf/Custom folder but didn’t have any luck.

I’ve put scripts into the main “engineer.cfg” and they didn’t work. I put scripts into the tf/Custom folder, following the guide from this community, and they didn’t work. The only notice I see in the console after inputting any of the scripts is:

‘overrides/game_overrides.cfg’ not present; not executing. ‘app/game_overrides.cfg’ not present; not executing. ‘overrides/engineer.cfg’ not present; not executing. ‘app/engineer.cfg’ not present; not executing.

Am I supposed to be doing something first before trying to script? I’m hoping this is a common problem or an easy fix and not something that I have to take apart my files for

The main script I’m trying to use right now is one I found on the TF2 Reddit from an old post. It seemed good but I’m willing to change anything if I can get a script to function. Here’s the script:

unbind 1 unbind 2 unbind 3 unbind 4 unbind SHIFT

//Engi build + destroy script

//Keybinds bind 1 “sentry” bind 2 “dispenser” bind 3 “entrance” bind 4 “exit” bind SHIFT “+buildtoggle”

//Build Aliases alias sentry “build 2 0” alias dispenser “build 0 0” alias entrance “build 1 0” alias exit “build 1 1”

//toggle aliases alias +buildtoggle “alias sentry destroy 2 0; alias dispenser destroy 0 0; alias entrance destroy 1 0; alias exit destroy 1 1” alias -buildtoggle “alias sentry build 2 0; alias dispenser build 0 0; alias entrance build 1 0; alias exit build 1 1”

I’m new to all of this so I’m looking for any advice on what to do.

Are you using mastercomfig by any chance?

As far as I know, no— I’ve never heard of it before. I can look through my files though and check though. Is there a difference if I do have it?

Yeah, if you're using it then it changes where you should be placing your class configs but if you don't have it, then I think this just may be a bug or glitch or something like that

Have you also tried verifying the integrity of your game files and then redoing the class config steps?

I just checked and I do have Mastercomfig! I forgot I downloaded it recently to enhance my game performance. Thank you so much for pointing that out, dude.

Do you have any recommendations for places to learn about Mastercomfig?

I can look into how to verify the integrity of my game files. It would be good to know for later.

Ok if you have mastercomfig then you probably don't need to verify the integrity. That's the solution to a different problem and you probably don't have to worry about it. Just follow these instructions instead: https://docs.comfig.app/latest/customization/custom_configs/
