Silent Mod Server Cvar

Announcements and Messages

g_privateMessages

Description

If set to 1, players can send private messages to one another with the /m playername/slot command.

Parameter

Type: [0|1]

0 Disable Private Messages

1 Enable Private messages

Default: 0

Note: Clients can reject private message from other individual clients with the /ignore client command. Also, private messages can be disabled from individuals/levels using shrubbot flag '/'.

g_spreeOptions

Description:

Options to control the display of killingsprees.

Type: bitmask

Parameters:

1 Enable killingsprees

2 Enable killingspree ends

4 Enable multikills

8 When set, a top 3 current killing sprees message will be printed every minute, similar to binoc masters, and a map's longest killing spree will be printed every two minutes

16 At the beginning of the intermission the highest spree and the 3 highest sprees which are still active will be shown

32 /kill will end a spree

64 Teamswitching will end a spree

128 Multikill messages will be delayed g_multikillTime milliseconds, to prevent the doublekill -> multikill -> megakill -> etc. flooding

256 Killing bots doesn't count for multikills or killingsprees (Note: they DO count for ending kill/deathsprees)

512 Display the map and overall spree record when entering intmission

1024 Summary: don't enable this flag if you don't have enabled g_spreeOptions flag 512 OR g_XPSave flag 16 or Shrubbot flag t

Spree records are automatically saved into XPSave file when a map ends. By enabling this flag, you also store the spreerecord at the points where g_XPSave flag 16 would store XP. When you don't have set XPSave flag 16 and g_spreeOptions flag 512 and not allow users to use !spreerecord you should NOT set this flag as it takes some extra resources. When XPSave flag 16 is set this doesn't matter (it actually takes much less resources then). When only g_spreeOptions flag 512 or shrubbot flag t is set it won't do much harm anyway (your server won't explode)

2048 Enable revivesprees ( [revive] blocks )

Default: 0

g_multikillTime

Description

The time (in milliseconds) in which two kills should be made in order to count them as multikills.

Type: integer
Default: 1000

g_obituary

g_landmineNotifyType

Description:

Decide which landmine reveal notifications server should send. 

Server can send two types of landmines reveal notification. Standard one, generated (sent) for each landmine revealed and summary one, which is sent after player spotting landmines stops using binoculars. It's generated after each binculars zoom.

Type: [0|1|2|3]

Parameters:

0 Only standard notfications (for each landmine revealed).
1 Only single summary notifications for one binocs zoom. New type of notification.
   For example: during one binocs zoom, 3 mines were revealed, but only 1 summary notification is sent. It contains information: 3 mines spotted by "player  name" and last one was in location "some location".
2 Don't send any landmine notifications.
3 Send all notifications.
   For example: for 3 spotted landmines send 4 notifications (3 for each landmine + 1 summary notification).

Type: string

Default: ""

Example:
set g_settings "settings.cfg"

Flood Protection

g_floodprotect

Description:

Enable/disable silEnT flood protect. Flooding means that a client is sending too many messages to the server (vsays, callvotes, etc...). Enabling g_floodprotect disables the engine's sv_floodprotect functionality. If you enable g_floodprotect, make sure you set a value for g_floodthreshold.

Type: [0|1]

Default: 1

g_floodthreshold

Description:

The number of messages per second before ignoring the client's messages. Only in effect when g_floodprotect is turned on.

Type: Integer

Default: 6

g_floodWait

Description:

The minimum number of milliseconds between two messages when g_floodprotect is enabled. This is a hard limit so admins aren't allowed to override it. 1000 milliseconds copies sv_floodprotect behaviour. This CVAR should not have a value below 500 in order to keep a public server playable.

Type: integer

Default: 1000

g_voiceChatsAllowed

Description:

The number of voicechats allowed in minute.

Type: integer

Default: 4

Player Statistics, Rating and Team Balance

g_stats

Description:

This is a bitflag cvar used to control the way statistics are handled.

Type: bitmask

Parameters:
1 When shooting a corpse to gib, do not count it as a hit.
2 When shooting a corpse to gib, do not count it as a shot.

Default: 0
Note: Set this to 3 to use the behaviour of etmain and shrubet.

g_playerRating_mapPad

Description:

On an silEnT installation with little statistics history, !howfair will not print out very accurate data. g_playerRating_mapPad is a cvar that attempts to stabilize early !howfair results by adding a number of fake wins to each team. If you set it to 50, it starts with Axis = 50, Allies = 50 wins. This yields a map rating of 50% for both teams on that map. For every 2 real games played, 1 map pad value is ignored. So after 100 games, map pad is ignored (replaced with real games).

The higher map pad, the longer the values will stay near 50-50.

Type: integer

Default: 50

g_playerRating

Description:

When not set to non zero positive value, silEnT will track a player's ability to win against good teams using an ELO type statistic similar to chess. Each win will increase a player's rating based on how hard the opposing team was. Skilled teams defeating less skilled teams will result in very few points whereas an relatively low- rated team defeating a good team will result in more points. Player rating also takes into account the number of players on each team (less points when a very large defeats a small one) and which side tends to win more often on the current map (e.g. Allies tend to win tc_base).

See also g_shuffle_rating.

Type: bitmask

Parameters:

1 Use player rating. A dummy flag since any non-zero value for g_playerRating will enable it.
2 Make player rating visible. Players can use /playerrating and at the end of each map a message will display the top player.
4 Put player rating on the scoreboard instead of the XP.
8 Print out extra info at the end of a round that can be used to further refine the playerrating model.
16 The same as flag 8 except a lot more info is output.

Default: 3

g_unevenTeamDiff

Description:

If g_teamForceBalance is set, setting g_unevenTeamDiff will notify all players when team numbers are off by g_unevenTeamDiff or more.

See also g_unevenTeamFreq

Type: integer

Default: 0

Example: Set to 0 to disable this feature

g_unevenTeamFreq

Description:

How often the team disparity notification occurs. Only valid when g_unevenTeamDiff is set to a positive value. Value is in seconds.

See also g_unevenTeamDiff

Type: integer

Default: 30
