Anyone know what these server cvars do?

[Hammer]

Anyone have information on the following cvars? Anyone from IW, are any of these active in CoD?


g_complaintlimit
g_knockback
g_no_script_spam
g_voiceChatsAllowed
g_smoothClients
g_synchronousClients
g_useGear
g_weaponAmmoPools
g_weaponrespawn

I only recognize a couple.

g_smoothClients has been in the Q3 engine for quite a while. It enables lag compensation for clients with bad connections. Back in the day this would eat a lot of CPU cycles on the server so it was made optional.

g_synchronousClients is used for demo recording. For games like RTCW and SOF2 you couldn't record a demo unless this was enabled. Demo recording in CoD doesn't seem to require this.

g_complaintlimit is from RTCW and Enemy territory, after X complaints have been filed against you for TKing, it kicks you, or makes you lose experience in ET.

how do you file a complaint?

[CFH666]

i dont think you can in COD.. We have not tried FF on yet so i dont know if it has a complaint option. But in RCTW and ET, if someone got tked, it would automatically put a yellow message on the screen say file complaint for so and so for team killing and then you vote as if you would vote for a map change in Cod.

I think it is just a left over cvar

g_complaintlimit
g_knockback
g_no_script_spam
g_voiceChatsAllowed
g_smoothClients
g_synchronousClients
g_useGear
g_weaponAmmoPools
g_weaponrespawn

Knockback is the range of damage that explosions make.
Complaint limit is self explanitory.
no_script_spam is so that people cant launch scripts that flood console (I believe)

not sure about weaponAmmoPools ( might be random weapons )

weaponrespawn is for weapons the game leaves for you to find like panzer rockets (again - I think)
