Description

allow_download

Master switch for client file downloads from the server.

allow_download_demos

Controls whether the server lets clients download recorded demo files from it (requests under demos/, and the demonum/ shortcut that resolves to a recorded demo by number).

Controls whether clients may download map files (the maps/ folder) from the server.

allow_download_models

Controls whether clients may download model/progs files (the progs/ folder, e.g.

allow_download_other

Controls whether clients may download files that are not skins, models, sounds, maps, or demos -- any other file located in a subdirectory on the server.

allow_download_pakmaps

Controls whether the server lets connecting clients download player skin files (anything under the skins/ folder) that they are missing.

allow_download_sounds

Controls whether the server lets connecting clients download sound files (anything under the sound/ folder) that they are missing.

city

Sets the city/location label this server advertises in its server-info string, so server browsers and clients can show where the server is hosted.

coop

Marks the server as running cooperative play.

coords

Sets the geographic coordinates this server advertises in its server-info string, so server browsers and clients can place it on a map or show its location.

countrycode

Sets the country code this server advertises in its server-info string, so server browsers and clients can show or filter by which country the server is in.

deathmatch

Selects the deathmatch game mode for the server.

Sets a web address the server offers to clients as a faster alternative when they begin downloading a map from the server.

hostname

unnamed

The server's display name -- the text shown for the server in server browsers and in-game listings.

hostport

An optional human-friendly address label for the server (for example a domain name with port, like quake.se:28501).

maxclients

Maximum number of player slots on the server -- once this many players are connected, further player connections are refused.

maxfps

Publishes a recommended packet rate (packets per second) in the server info -- classic QuakeWorld clients read it to pace how often they send to the server.

maxspectators

Sets how many spectators (people watching without playing) are allowed to connect to the server at once.

maxvip_spectators

Reserves a number of additional spectator slots for VIP spectators -- clients whose spectator password, password, or IP address is on the server's VIP list.

pm_ktjump

Keeps jump height consistent when a player jumps while still moving downward (for example the instant they land, or while dropping).

Switches player ground detection to the NetQuake-style model, where standing-on-ground is decided by the movement collision itself rather than re-checked each frame by the standard QuakeWorld ground trace.

pm_rampjump

Enables a slope-aware jumping mode that changes how players move up ramps and what happens when they jump on them.

pm_slidefix

Changes how a player's vertical speed is handled while running on the ground, fixing the way movement feels when going down slopes and ramps.

sv_antilag_no_pred

"negative" cvar so it doesn't show on serverinfo for no reason

sv_antilag_projectiles

Sets the subdirectory, under the server's current game directory, where recorded MVD demos are written and where the server looks for them when listing or deleting demos.

sv_demoDirAlt

Specifies a secondary directory the server checks for stored demos when a requested demo is not found in the primary directory (sv_demoDir).

sv_demoExtraNames

sv_nailhack

Controls whether nails and super-nails are sent to clients using QuakeWorld's compact nail-projectile packet format instead of as ordinary entities.
