CVars - SamsaraDevs/samsaraJunk GitHub Wiki

Sometimes people like certain settings over another. Sometimes people want a pretty vanilla experience, other times they wanna go balls-out crazy. After TerminusEst13 discovered the magic of archivecvar and consolecommand, he started making all sorts of cvars. After ijon joined, the number of cvars shot up dramatically. 0.29 rolled around, and suddenly the amount of serverside CVars doubled in response to "so what do we do now".

Basically what we're saying is that we're giant cvar whores.

#Serverside

samsara_banjetpack: Since Duke's jetpack can very easily break maps, there's a CVar to disable them. Set to 1 to disable jetpacks, replacing them with 8x boot damage.
samsara_banwolfmove: Because people bitched about Wolfenstein movement being too hard to deal with, there's a CVar to disable it. Set to 1 to make Blazko's feet as icy as everyone else's.
samsara_nocustomgravity: Similar story with SO's and Ranger's lower gravity. Set to 1 to un-floatify them.
samsara_jumpmod: Hexen should have this value set to 9 (it needs it), and Strife should have it set to -8 (otherwise maps can be broken via jumping). Everything else should have it at 0. Or maybe you could go 100 and sv_gravity 100 to go full retard.
