Browse to you're cstrike directory. default location for cs retail: C:\Sierra\Counter-Strike\cstrike HL Mod: C:\Sierra\half-life\cstrike look for a file called config.cfg Open it with notepad, Scroll down to the end and add this line:

Setinfo "lefthand" "0"

Now your weapon will be on the right-hand side. This can also be done within the controls menu when you launch cs, although it's much easier and quicker editing the config file.

While in-game hit the ~ key to bring down the console, at the prompt type:

sensitivity "xx"

Replace the xx with you're desired sensitivity level, example: sensitivity "7.5" Default value is 3. You can also browse to your cstrike directory and locate the config.cfg file, open it with notepad and look for value: sensitivity then edit the number already in quotes.

Sometimes while in a fire fight the text scrolls too fast and it doesn't give you a chance to read it. to keep the text on the screen longer type this at the console prompt or add this line to your config.cfg file located in the cstrike directory:

hud_saytext_time "x"

Replace the "x" with the amount of time in seconds you would like the text to remain on the screen before it scrolls off the screen, the default value is 5. I have mines set at 15, It gives me enough time to read the text when in a fire fight.

It's possible to change the color of the text by entering this value at the console prompt:

con_color "xxx xxx xxx"

Replace the "xxx xxx xxx" with the RGB color code you would like to use. For example, con_color "255 255 255" would change the console text color to pure white, while con_color "18 250 13" would make the text neon green. you must surround the numbers in quotes for this to work.

Sometimes playing at a really high resolution can make the text very hard to read if you are playing at 1024*768 or above. Currently, the only way to increase the font size would be to use a third party plugin to increase the size. Click here to download the file, it's very simple to install.

In the console, type net_graph 3 and you should see your fps along with other stats in the lower right hand corner.
