The "magic" numbers to use for this setting are 76,125, and 333, however, 125 works well and since this value is used as the default for several other mods, it should feel comfortable to most players. | |

|
| g_fieldopsChargeTime | int | 40000 | Changed from g_LTChargeTime |
|
| g_mapConfigs | string | "" | Relative path to the directory that contains map-specific config files. Create this directory inside of your legacy-folder. Allows you to execute a custom config file for each map. The config file for a map has to be named the same as the map with the extension .cfg, for instance oasis.cfg. You should also create a default.cfg file which will be read before the map-specific config files. |
|
| g_mapscriptdirectory | string | "" | Relative path to the directory that contains custom mapscripts. Create this directory inside of your legacy-folder. Similar to ETPro’s b_mapScriptsDirectory. |
|
| g_mapVoteFlags | int | 0 | Ways to change how map voting does work. (g_gametype is 6 only) 1 - Changes the tie breaker so that the map not played the longest wins. 2 - Intermission doesn’t end until g_intermissionReadyPercent people have voted. If there are no players connected to the server, intermission will end at the timeout. Note: This means that if there are spectators connected and not voting, the next map will not load until those spectators either vote, disconnect, or get kicked by the system! 4 - Multi-voting. Allows everybody to vote for 3 maps instead of one. First map of choice gets 3 votes, the second 2 and the third map gets one. 8 - Don’t randomize the maps, they will always appear in the same order. 16 - A passed nextmap vote will start the intermission and lets players vote which map should be played next. Note: One of the two teams will automatically be displayed as the current map winner. 32 - Disables the ready button during intermission. |
|
| g_maxMapsVotedFor | int | 6 | How many maps are presented to users for voting upon during intermission (g_gametype is 6 only). | |
| g_maxWarp | int | 4 (default) | This allows you to control the amount of "warping" that players with high packet loss can do. The [integer] is the number of server frames that you allow a player to miss before their next movement is put in check. A server frame is 50ms on a typical server (sv_fps set to 20). This means that if you set g_maxWarp to 5 you won’t allow players to warp from point A to point B if that distance takes an normal player 1/4 of a second to travel. Setting this to 1 is a good way to drive off just about everyone from your server. |
|
| g_minMapAge | int | 3 | How long a map is ineligible for voting, after it is played (g_gametype is 6 only). | |
| g_misc | bitflag | 0 | 1 - disable boosting when g_shove is enabled, 2 - medic syringe heal, 4 - combine Arty & Strike timers, 8 - display owner of dynamite, 16 - display owner of landmine, 32 - players loose spawn shield when weapons are fired, |
|
| g_moverScale | float | 1.0 | Multiplicator for mover speed. | |
| g_multiview | int | 0 | 0 - disables multiview server side, else enabled | |
| g_pronedelay | int | 0 - disabled (default) | Enables delayed proning (like in etpro). When enabled adds max spread for a second and increases the prone time from 750ms to 1750ms. | |
| 1 - enabled | ||||
| g_protect | bitmask | 0 - no protection (default) | Mod side security options. See also sv_protect. | |
| 1 - no auto ref for localhost clients | ||||
| g_resetXPMapCount | int | 0 | Under construction (g_gametype is 6 only) | |
| g_shove | int | 80 | Enables pushing for players. A value of 0 disables shoving. Bots can use shove by adding 64 to omnibot_flags. | |
| g_skillRating | int | 0 - disabled | Enable skill rating algorithm. | |
| 1 - standard | ||||
| 2 - includes map bias (default) | ||||
| g_voting | bitmask | 0 - disabled | Various voting options. |
