When you press "H" in game, a menu pops up on the left side of your screen.
I've spent quite some time customizing this menu, turning it into something like a secondary more advanced options menu that lets you change netcode, aim settings, HUD settings on the fly without the user having to look up and enter every single command in the console. It also provides a few handy shortcuts!
This is how you install it:
1. Open a text file called "commandmenu.txt", you can find it in:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Half-Life\cstrike
2. Replace the text inside with the following:
"1" "Close Menu" ""
"2" "Graphics Settings"
{
"1" "FPS"
{
"1" "239.5 FPS" "fps_override 1; fps_max 239.5; cl_cmdrate 245"
