Auto CFGs - VSTR Mode
Advanced users can set auto CFGs cvars to 2. Instead of executing CFGs, VSTRs (variable strings) will be executed. These cvars are listed here in order of execution (e.g. demo CFGs are first; weapon CFGs are last).
The idea behind a VSTR is that you execute the contents of a cvar rather than the contents of a CFG file.
The advantage of VSTRs is that they can be quickly modified in-game (via binds, CFGs, or other VSTRs). This allows for greater, more dynamic customization; for example, you can execute different instructions per-team per-map.
Example: using a bind to say "incoming" when on blue team, but changing it to say "incoming vent" on siege_cargobarge2 and on blue team
