Anyone have any idea what the CVAR attributes (S, C, A, L, etc.) listed to the left of the CVARs indicate?

Thanks,
Braniac

S = server-only var (exported out from a server)
C = cheat protected (can't be changed unless server has sv_cheats 1)
A = archived (saved to local config file when changed)
L = latched (takes effect after a map start, vid_restart, snd_restart, net_restart, etc.)

Thank you much! Next question. When I try to set sv_cheats "1" it returns an error that it is read only. Any way around this?

Thanks again!

Anyone have an answer to this question? I run a tactical server and want to turn off the footsteps sound. The cvars that seem to have something to do with this are all coded C or Read Only.
