Client cvar list

ETPro Client cvars and commands

By The Birdman & =FF=im2good4u

This list contains all ETPro client cvars and commands (hopefully).

We have tried to include as much information in each description as possible, but some might require more explaining, so links to other pages here or the forums have been added.

Note: If there is any ETPro client cvars/commands that you think we have omitted or any that you think the description is wrong then pm me here, if you don't know how to edit this page. Before pm’ing/editing are you sure it’s an ETPro cvar/command and not another mods or an ETmain one, if it is ETPro then either edit or let me know what cvar/command we’ve omitted, adding a short description of what it’s use is, if known to you. If you think a description is wrong, quote the cvar/command and it’s description adding your description of it or edit.

Apologies for all the ..... to try create new lines or push things along to create a line so things look a bit better in some of the description sections, but i couldn't start new lines using the pitatable.

Cvar Description guids Displays a list of players and their ETPro guid’s in the console. b_cvarlist Displays a list of ETPro cvar limits of the server you are in, (only shows if the server has cvar limits set). b_cvarempty Resets all ETPro cvars to their defaults. Bp Sends text to all clients to be displayed in the banner area. camera Used to run scripted cameras, whatever.camera files. 2 Links at bottom of page which helps explain this better. cancelvote Cancels any vote in progress. cheaters Lists all clients in console, with info on whether they are cheating.To check on just one particular client use /cheaters client slot, this will return the IAC info of only that chosen client. Link at bottom of page, for better explanation. class Class allows you to script the selection of team and class, (syntax: class class weapon {secondary weapon}, e.g. cs_mg42 "class s 2 3). Link at bottom of page for better explanation. classmenu Command for opening the class selection menu. Link at bottom of page for better explanation. clearlines Empties out the debug line queue (e.g. if a bunch of railtrail lines with a huge cg_railtrailtime are in the buffer.) Cp Sends text to all clients to be displayed in the centerprint area. etpro_alliedmapxp Non-user, write-protected cvar for internal use in ETPro. etpro_axismapxp Non-user, write-protected cvar for internal use in ETPro. etpro_lastmapname Non-user, write-protected cvar for internal use in ETPro. etpro_session Non-user, write-protected cvar for internal use in ETPro. exec_at_time Allows scripts to be executed exactly at a specified frame number (demo playback only). follow For specifying which player to spectate (i.e. /follow ). follownext Spectate the next guy (normally bound to your fire button (mouse1) when spectating). followprev Spectate the previous guy. freecam Allows for you to switch in and out of freecam in demo playback. freecamgetpos Retrieves the position of the camera. freecamsetpos Sets the position of the camera. (mainly for use with scripted cameras) inviteall Used with fireteam to invite all teammates into fireteam, if they aren’t already in one (i.e. /fireteam inviteall). kill ETPro change: /kill now counts as a death. Listcs Dumps all of the current configstrings to the server console, (mostly useful as a debugging or map making tool). loc_add For adding location names. Link at bottom of page for better explanation of loc_* vars. loc_del For deleting location names, (doesn’t have to be the exact name, it will delete the closest one). loc_load Load the specified location-name file, (i.e. loc_load filename). loc_rename For renaming location names, (doesn’t have to be the exact name, it will rename the closest one to what was specified). loc_save Saves location names to the specified file, (i.e. loc_save filename). loc_show Shows location name of an imperfectly specified location. m Pretext for sending a private message (i.e. /m playername message), to send to all clan members in the server, instead of a playername use your clan tag (i.e. if your clan tag is -lol- then, /m -lol- hi guys, would send the message ‘hi guys’ to all players with -lol- in their name, naturally just your clan mates). makesc, makeshoutcast, makeshoutcaster Use to give a specified player shoutcaster status, (i.e. /makesc clientid). msg Same as /m, but broken on servers. mt Similar to m, but this pretext just sends private messages to players on your own team axis/allies (i.e. /mt playername message), if you try using this to send a private message to a player on the opposing team then he won’t receive it, it only search’s for players playername on your own team. mv_sensitivity MultiView : Note NEED MORE INFO ON MULTIVEIW CVARS, feel free to edit mvactivate Command to enter and exit Multiview mode, more info here. mvadd MultiView mvall Command to view all players in multiview. mvallies Command to view all allied players in multiview. mvaxis Command to view all Axis players in multiview. mvdel MultiView mvhide MultiView mvnew MultiView mvnone MultiView mvshow MultiView mvswap MultiView mvtoggle MultiView notice Don’t know what this is used for but when you type it in the console (/notice) it returns with some lol statements, for example: “etpro comes with no warranties of any kind – if it breaks, you get to keep both pieces”, “heeey, sticklyman! WhaaAaAaAAaaAt are you doing?!” Etc openTimerInput For setting ETPro’s enemy spawn time. This opens a box to set the enemy's spawn time in. See also resetTimer and timerSet. passvote Passes any vote in progress. pm Same as /m, but broken on servers. qsay Sends text to all clients to be displayed in the chat area without the server: prefix. ref For logging in with a password for Ref status.

See also openTimerInput and timerSet. sa, semiAdmin For use when logged in as a semiAdmin. This all depends on what commands the server admin has assigned to you for use. Semiadmins may also check their current level and available commands with /sa or /semiadmin by itself with no parameters. Example: If the server admin has assigned you the command map_restart, then when logged in as semiadmin to restart the current map you would type into the console /sa map_restart sal, semiAdminLogin For logging in with a password for SemiAdmin status, (i.e. /semiadminlogin password or /sal password) say_buddy Used to send chat messages to all in your fireteam or one particular fireteam mate (i.e. /say_buddy1 hi) scLogin, shoutCastLogin For logging in with a password for shoutcaster status. scLogout, shoutCastLogout For logging out of shoutcaster status. setcs Sets the value of configstring number num to value (i.e. setcs num value). show_framecount Shows the frame count in demo playback, default 0...... 0 = No frame counter, 1 = Show frame counter, 2 = Snapshot current frame number. shrug Allows for the use of shrug silliness if enabled on the server, (i.e. bind w "+forward shuffleteamsxp_norestart Command to shuffle teams by XP, without restarting the map. skills Lists in console what XP is required to reach each promotion level of each particular class (i.e. /skills).

Time Reports the game state and round time remaining. timerSet For setting ETPro’s enemy spawntimer. See also resetTimer and openTimerInput. ui_browserShowETPro Controls what type mod servers you see in your browser server list...... 0 = Show all...... 1 = Only show ETPro servers...... 2 = Don’t show ETPro servers. weapons Lists in the console what weapon you or your teammates have now and what they are going to spawn with next, but only if another respawn class choice is picked and only if the weapon has a max amount set. vsay num If a voicechat has multiple announcements you can specify which one to call, (i.e. /vsay num voicechat, /vsay 2 FTAttack)
