Discuss - Server Settings

[MammothTruk]

Thought I would start a thread here that we could post the hard to figure out cvars for the server settings that will help save time and fustration.

First off

host_writeconfig

this command is entered

rcon host_writeconfig

and it will write the current settings to the config file. there for enabling someone to not have to ftp or putty to the config file, alter it, reupload it, restart server

*WARNING*
the first time I did this is crashed the server for some reason. hasnt had a hitch since. worked flawlessly

Now, mind you, these are only examples. They are solid, stable configs that have been tested and work consistantly day in and day out. They are a good starting point to get your server up and running, then you can tweak each individual variable from there to make your server flow how you like it. If you have a question about a variable for either the serv.cfg or bot.cfg, don't hesitate to ask.
