skill 1 Server Skill The default skill level your server will use. Maps can override this in their configuration.
  • 0: Always let the map choose.
  • 1: Easy, enemies are easy to kill, players are hard to kill.
  • 2: Hard, enemies are hard to kill, players are easy to kill.
  • 3: Realistic, enemies are easy to kill, players are very easy to kill - enables realistic weapon damage.

Mappers are recommended not to use this setting, but still do.

sv_lan_rate 20000 Rate (bytes/second) that the clients are forced to talk to the server at when in LAN mode. 100000 (100 kBtyes/sec) is more than enough for 32 players and sustainable on any modern LAN.

sv_maxunlag 0.500
sv_maxupdaterate 30 The maximum number of events/second the server can send to a client. 50 is enough for 16 players. If you're running a server on a home broadband connection, consider lowering this to 15 or 20.
sv_maxvelocity 4096
sv_minrate 0 sv The minimum rate (bytes/second) that clients can talk to the server at when in Internet mode. Please do not change this so dial-up users can still enjoy your server.

sv_zmax 4096 sp The radius based distance from players of which the sky map will be rendered at, causing anything further than this to not be drawn. (Only mappers should ever worry about this.)
sys_ticrate 100 The maximum number of frames/second your server will process.

Frame rates too high will (over 200) also have a negative effect on physics and NPC movement, and will cause many brush entities to cause crush damage when nothing is blocking them.

ambient_fade 100 Engine Sound Automatic ambient sounds: Rate of volume fading when moving from one environment to another.

Removed in Sven Co-op 5.18. Quake feature, broken and unused in GoldSrc.

ambient_level 0.300 Engine Sound Automatic ambient sounds: Volume of ambient sounds (water and wind).

Removed in Sven Co-op 5.18. Quake feature, broken and unused in GoldSrc.

ati_npatch 1.0 a Engine Rendering Enables ATI TruForm/npatch tessellation for studio models.

Removed in Sven Co-op 5.17. ATi drivers dropped support for TruForm long time ago.

d_spriteskip 0 Engine Rendering ? Software renderer only.

Removed in Sven Co-op 5.17. Software renderer is no longer present in Svengine.

gl_affinemodels 0 Engine Rendering Disables perspective-correct texturing for studio/alias models to improve performance. This is only a hint for the OpenGL driver (sets GL_PERSPECTIVE_CORRECTION_HINT to GL_FASTEST).

Removed in Sven Co-op 5.17.

gl_dither 1 a Engine Rendering Enables texture dithering in 16-bit color depth modes to improve visuals.

Removed in Sven Co-op 5.17. 16-bit color depths are no longer supported.

gl_flipmatrix 0 a Engine Rendering Fixes world <-> screen transformations when using the 3DNow! 3Dfx MiniGL driver.

Removed in Sven Co-op 5.17. 3Dfx hardware is no longer relevant/supported.

gl_palette_tex 1 Engine Rendering Enables use of paletted textures to conserve video memory.

Removed in Sven Co-op 5.17. Drivers dropped support for paletted textures long time ago.

gl_ztrick_old 0 Engine Rendering Enables the use of a trick that allows the renderer to avoid clearing the depth buffer every frame by splitting it in half. This provided a slight speed increase on early 3D accelerators, with a trade off for less depth precision. Was gl_ztrick in pre-Steampipe builds of the GoldSrc engine.

Removed in Sven Co-op 5.17.

graphheight 64.0 Engine Netgraph Renamed to net_graphheight in Sven Co-op 5.17 (for consistency with the other net_graph CVARs).
r_mirroralpha 1 Engine Rendering Sets transparency of the mirror texture.

Removed in Sven Co-op 5.17. Leftover from GLQuake, this feature never worked correctly in GoldSrc/Svengine.

r_mmx 0* Engine Rendering Enables use of MMX extensions for surface rendering. Software renderer only. * Default value is determined on start up (1 for CPUs with MMX extensions, 0 otherwise).

Removed in Sven Co-op 5.17. Software renderer is no longer present in Svengine.
