Valve.rc is a file that lies inside the game / mod's <game>/cfg/ folder. It is a file that automatically executes convars on game launch, like autoexec.cfg.

To create one, create a text document and save it with a .rc extension inside your cfg folder. Simply place your convars inside the file with each convar on a separate line. Your valve.rc should contain these convars if you're making one:

// load the base configuration
//exec default.cfg

// Setup custom controller
exec joystick.cfg

// run a user script file if present
exec autoexec.cfg

//
// stuff command line statements
//
stuffcmds

// display the startup level. Remove this if you're using background images instead of maps
startupmenu

Note:stuffcmds runs command line arguments starting with +
