Wolfenstein - Enemy Territory resources :: antman's CVAR explanations
There are many different settings used in the game Wolfenstein - Enemy Territory. This document attempts to provide a brief description of the ones I have used in my personal config file. If you are looking for a more detailed information about the commands and CVARs, I suggest you take a look at the Enemy Territory Console Commands & Cvars documentation by DG.
If you want to start building your own config file based on these explanations, I suggest you download the default.cfg and start editing it to fit your needs.
The table below has three columns, first one CVAR is the actual console variable. The second one default is the default value of the CVAR. Third column has the description what the CVAR does.
