Deque: time waiting to spawn, like how long the eggs take to spawn players?

Ttycon:  Sets the console to tty mode
Ttycon ansicolor: tty console ansi character color

Playerclip: rounds edges of playerclip brushes on maps
Finish: leave menu

Creep res: resolution of the creep

True lightning: sets the liguting of the map to a standard without light containers.

Zombietime: how long you spend dead with your viewpos at your dead body before you are returned to alien or human_intermission, and allowed to respawn.

Fps: maximum frame rate allowed by the server

Commandperiod: similar to rename period. Wait time before you can use another admin command on the server.


These are all just guesses, most of which i have never seen before.
eh, i prefer gregorian.net chat better than this. NO download and its LIVE!

sv_dequeuePeriod: was added at somepoint for 1.2, I can't see anywhere that it's used.

[wiki]ttycon[/wiki]: is used in 1.1 to control if stdin/stdout should be used as a console.
[wiki]ttycon_ansicolor[/wiki]: specifies if you want ^1 style colour codes to be replaced with \e[31m style colours on stderr.

cm_playerCurveClip: No idea, is cheap protected.

[wiki]r_finish[/wiki]: Forces glFinish to be called each frame.  It's a bug fix for some old graphics card.

cg_creepRes: Unused in 1.1, removed in 1.2.
cg_trueLightning: Unused in 1.1, removed in 1.2.

sv_zombietime: Something to do with how long clients hang around (in msec) after they disconnect, I think todo with not getting errors if the client sends packets after the server has forgotten about them.

sv_fps: Frame rate the server runs at, I'm guessing it'd be bad to change.  (also looks hard coded in places).

g_mincommandperiod: Removed in 1.2, no idea what it did in 1.1, nothing to do with g_admin though.
Any maps not in the MG repo?  Email me or come to irc.freenode.net/#mg.

cm_playerCurveClip: clip player against curves(patches), default is 1. If you enable cheats and set it to 0, you can pass thru curves(patches).
sv_dequeuePeriod: something to do with dequeuing the queued net packets. unused anyway

Modifying sv_fps doesn't break anything, it's just kind of useless.

Modifying sv_fps used to subtly break some things and I imagine it still does, so it is a good idea not to play with it.
Need help? Ask intelligently. Please share solutions you find.

Thats what we need, helpful players, not more powerful admins.

It sometimes makes it like lagged. I had it on sv_fps 40 for a bit. Many players complained about their aim.
