Revision as of 17:39, 14 April 2007

Name Default Description
_agilityAdVel 2.25 Multiplies _tankSpeed for tanks holding Agility flag for a specified amount of time (_agilityTimeWindow)
_agilityTimeWindow 1 The amount of time (in seconds)that the tank will have the speed specified by _agilityAdVel
_agilityVelDelta 0.3
_angleTolerance 0.05 If a tank has turned more than it was expected to, plus the tolerance, a new update is sent so the other clients are aware of the change in heading
_angularAd 1.5 Multiplies _tankAngVel to determine how fast tanks can turn while holding the Quick Turn flag
_avenueSize 2*_boxBase Space to leave between objects in random maps?
_baseSize 60 Width and Depth (bases have constant height) of the square bases for CTF games
_boxBase 30 Width and Depth of boxes on a random map?
_boxHeight 6*_muzzleHeight Height of boxes on a random map?
_burrowDepth 1.32 Determines how far down tanks drop when they have the Burrow Flag. Making this much lower makes it below the floor, and impossible to kill tank!
_burrowSpeedAd .8 Multiplied by _tankSpeed to determine how fast tanks holding the Burrow Flag move.
_burrowAngularAd .55 Multiplied by _tankAngVel to determine how fast tanks can turn while holding the Burrow flag.
_coldetDepth 6
_coldetElements 4
_countdownResumeTime 5 This enforces a delay when resuming a paused countdown. If the argument is lower or equal to 0 then resuming is instantly, otherwise it is delayed according to the value (in seconds). Available in 2.1 and later
_cullDepth 6
_cullDist fog Far plane culling distance ('fog' uses the fog parameters).
_cullElements 16
_cullOccluders 0
_disableBots none A value of 1 in this variable does not allow autopilot or bots on the server, equivalent to the old -probitbots command line option.
_drawCelestial 1 Draw the stars, sun, and moon.
_drawClouds 1 Draw the clouds.
_drawGround 1 Draw the ground plane.
_drawMountains 1 Draw the mountains.
_drawSky 1 Draw the sky pyramid.
_explodeTime 5 After a tank is killed, this is how long it takes to blow up, and then "respawn". Larger values translates into longer explosions and more client processor time. Note that an explosion is invisible if you are inside it, so large values may make it invisible up close, and extremely large values may make explosions entirely invisible.
_flagAltitude 11 The height that the flag flies up dropped and the height that a flag spawns at.
_flagEffectTime 0.64 The amount of time the flag effect lasts.
_flagHeight 10 The height of the flag (not its pole).
_flagPoleWidth 0.025 The diameter of the flag pole.
_flagPoleSize 0.8 The height of the flag pole.
_flagRadius 2.5 Determines how close a tank must be to a flag to pick it up.
_fogMode none Valid values: linear, exp, or exp2.
_fogDensity 0.001 Used for exp and exp2 fog modes.
_fogStart 0.5*_worldSize Used for linear fog mode, the distance where fog begins to occlude vision.
_fogEnd _worldSize Used for linear fog mode, the distance where the fog occludes everything.
_fogColor "0.25 0.25 0.25" RGB or black, red, blue (alpha is ignored).
_friction 0 Zero is normal friction, the closer to 0 the harder it is to start and stop, and the higher the number the easier it is to start and stop.
_gmActivationTime 0.5 The amount of time (in seconds) it takes for a Guided Missile to become active after it is fired. Any contact under this time will not result in detonation (setting it to low could cause its owner to run into its own GM and be blown up!
_gmAdLife 0.95 Multiplied by _shotRange to determine the distance guided missiles will go.
_gmTurnAngle 0.628319 The angle at which a Guided Missile will turn to follow its target. (Measured in radians)
_gravity 9.8 The rate at which a tank will fall (or be kept from jumping) Measured in Meters/Seconds^2. Setting this to a zero or positive value will result in tanks being unable to stay down and will float away.
_handicapScoreDiff 50 How much of a score difference (from the leader?) there must be for a player to get a handicap
_handicapVelAd 2 Player with handicap will receive this much more (_tankSpeed + _handicapVelAd) velocity than the normal _tankSpeed value.
**Note: These could be factors rather than additions
