Cvar?? WAH?
 

wat the hell is cvar.. its sum sorta cmd right? plz explain wat the heck it is. and where do i insert cvar codes/commands.

Does this have anything to do with Maps, Mods, or Skins? I honestly don't know.

yea i think it has to do w/ mods, cvars are stuff you can enter in console to change the gameplay, i think an example will be low gravity, i could be way off

Ah. Thanks for clarifiying that. I'll leave this topic where it is, then.

well i know they are console cmds but wat would i enter... or where would i enter it?

SV_gravity # is to change gravity....

arnt there console cmds and then cvars?

If its a dedicated server you would type:

[code]rcon sv_gravity #[code]
0 = flying, 99999 = instant crator


On a non-dedicared server you would type:
[code]sv_gravity #[/code]

You can type 'cvar list' to get a list off all the commands.

Damnit... I messed up the tags... Oh well you get the idea, I hope.

it's more of a technical question, unless suddenly there are cvars avalible to download

cvar's are the game's control variables. They set all of the effects of the game up. Lots of cheats use edited cvar codes to work and lots of legit mods do as well. Its all in how you use them.

as for this being directed as a modding question, the cvars change gameplay (dramatically in some cases) just as any mod does. So yes it is a legitimate question for this forum.

to change gravity type this in console

rcon sv_gravity 210

*210 is the level at which you can still jump, yet you float around quite nicely too. for complete 0 grav just replace the 210 with 0.

to see a list of cvar's that you can use just type

cvarlist

in console. it will bring up a nice list for your reference. to see a specific group of cvar's (they all have a certain prefix at the beginning "sv_gravity", "g_teamdamage") just type

cvarlist sv

this will bring up only the cvars with the prefix "sv"


hope that helps a little.

it's something like a command which u can enter in the console, i think. ask jv

so wat ur saying is that cvar and console comands can only be input in the gamne only?

no, tou can make a cfg file that when executed would change cvars. but in essence they not like a new skin or anything. with cvars you could make a mod similar to bullet time etc.
