server variables - odamex/odamex GitHub Wiki

When making a custom .cfg file to load, the format is set sv_****. When making a list of variables in Doomseeker, the format is +sv_****. Server variable values fall into the following categories:

• [bool] means that the setting is a boolean, either 0/false for off or 1/true for on.
• [byte] is a whole number (integer) from 0-255.
• [short] is a whole number (integer) from 0-65535.
• [number] is a whole number that falls into neither of the prior categories.
• [float] is a number that can have one a decimal point.
• [string] is a text string (e.g., "My website"), and likely should be enclosed in quotation marks (especially if there are spaces present in your desired string) If you want new lines/returns in your text strings, you use the \n escape character. E.g., "My website:\nhttps://odamex.net".

These are client variables set by clients (players), though some of them can be set and used by server administrators for their servers.
