SP | CVar | Default | Min | Max | Type | OGL | D3D | SFT | Category | Description | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
HostMap | string | server | When a map is changed with the "map" command, this cvar is set automatically to the map name. For multi player, this is only set when you launch the server because the first map is launched using the command "map", but when changing map, "changelevel" is used. | ||||||||
MP3FadeTime | 2 | integer | audio | This is how much seconds a mp3 will take to fade completely out using the "cd fadeout" command. | |||||||
MP3Volume | 0.8 | 0 | float | audio | Sets the Mp3's volume level. | ||||||
_cl_autowepswitch | 1 | 0 | 1 | boolean | interface | Automatically switch to most powerful gun. (When set to 1, when you buy a new gun or run over a gun to pick it up this will automatically switch to that gun) If 0, then your current choice of weaponry will stay selected. | |||||
_snd_mixahead | 0.1 | float | audio | Sets the time (in seconds) to mix the sound that much ahead. Should only be used with severe performance problems. If your sound is skipping or cracking, you may need to change this. | |||||||

cam_snapto | 0 | 0 | 1 | boolean | cheat | If enabled, your view angles will move as the same speed as your movements instead of moving your view angles faster than your movements. Only in third person. See cam_command. | |||||
chase_active | 0 | 0 | 1 | boolean | camera | This is thirdperson, like cam_command 1, except that it only works in single player and when you move your mouse, it is like zooming in your player model. | |||||
chase_back | 100 | float | camera | It sets how far the camera is behind you when chase_active is 1. | |||||||

cl_anglespeedkey | 0.67 | float | movement | It defines the turning speed ratio with +left/+right while walking (+speed). cl_yawspeed * cl_anglespeedkey = turning speed while walking. By default the turning speed while walking is 140.7(210 * 0.67 = 140.7) | |||||||
cl_backspeed | 400 | integer | movement | Sets the speed using the backward key (+back). This is limited by sv_maxspeed server side. And in CS this is limited by the per weapon speed. This should be equal to cl_forward and cl_sidespeed or you will have problem holding forward and left at the same time for example. | |||||||
cl_bob | 0.01 | 0 | 1 | float | video | Sets the amount that the view bobs while the player is running. | |||||
cl_bobcycle | 0.8 | float | video | Sets how frequent the player's view bobs while running. I would recommend leaving this at the default value, since it messes up your hands since an update(it's like zooming on them). Before this update it messed up your crosshair. Has no effect when cl_bob is 0. | |||||||
cl_bobup | 0.5 | float | video | Sets the amount the player bobs up while running. Has no effect when cl_bob is 0. | |||||||
cl_chasedist | 112 | integer | camera | It modifies how far the camera is zoomed out whilst your dead. | |||||||
cl_clockreset | 0.1 | float | netcode | If the client clock drifts more than cl_clockreset from the server, we just slam it to use the server and reset the delta to 0 - usually occurs at signon to server and maybe if there is a lot of packet loss. | |||||||
cl_cmdbackup | 2 | integer | netcode | In addition, with each command packets(cl_cmdrate), we re-send the last few previous movement commands ( in case there is packet loss ) so that we can keep moving smoothly in the face of minor network problems. The default number of "backup" commands that we send is 2, but you can change this number by setting cl_cmdbackup to another number. You can send more than 8 backup commands and you should note that sending backup commands will increase your outgoing bandwidth usage. | |||||||
cl_cmdrate | 30 | 10 | integer | netcode | This is the maximum of command packets you will send to the server per second. The default is to send up to 30 command packets per second up to the server. If you are running faster than 30 frames per second, then multiple commands will be put into some packets. You can change the rate of sending command packets to the server by setting the cl_cmdrate cvar. | ||||||

cl_dlmax | 128 | 16 | 1024 | integer | netcode | Cl_dlmax determines the "fragment" size for chunks of player decals, etc. that are downloaded while playing the game. Clamped to 16 to 1024 bytes. Useful to try and limit decals from taking up a lot of bandwidth - this made a lot more sense back when everyone was on 14.4 kbps modems. | |||||
cl_download_ingame | 1 | 0 | 1 | boolean | connection | Enables the download of players custom sprays while playing. | |||||
cl_dynamiccrosshair | 1 | 0 | 1 | boolean | interface | Enables the dynamic crosshair when crouching/jumping... | |||||
cl_fixtimerate | 7.5 | float | netcode | Cl_fixtimerate is the # of msec per frame of "clock drift" fixup. Since the server is sending timestamps in every packet, but we only read networking once per frame, we don't want to just "accept" the server clock, so we use it as a target and "correct" toward it by the fixtimerate (unless the delta becomes too large and we snap the client to the server clock). | |||||||
cl_fog_b | 0 | 0 | 255 | integer | video | It sets the fog color blue value. Fog can be enabled with gl_fog 1. By default, this CVar is hidden and you need to add -dev to the game command line for this cvar to work. The only official map that have fog is de_inferno_cz. Map authors can add fog in their maps with the env_fog entity which auto set this CVar. | |||||
cl_fog_density | 0 | 0 | 1 | float | video | It sets the density of the fog. Fog can be enabled with gl_fog 1. By default, this CVar is hidden and you need to add -dev to the game command line for this cvar to work. The only official map that have fog is de_inferno_cz.

cl_fog_g | 0 | 0 | 255 | integer | video | It sets the fog color green value. Fog can be enabled with gl_fog 1. By default, this CVar is hidden and you need to add -dev to the game command line for this cvar to work. The only official map that have fog is de_inferno_cz. Map authors can add fog in their maps with the env_fog entity which auto set this CVar. | |||||
cl_fog_r | 0 | 0 | 255 | integer | video | It sets the fog color red value. Fog can be enabled with gl_fog 1. By default, this CVar is hidden and you need to add -dev to the game command line for this cvar to work. The only official map that have fog is de_inferno_cz. Map authors can add fog in their maps with the env_fog entity which auto set this CVar. | |||||
cl_forwardspeed | 400 | integer | movement | Sets the speed using the forward key (+forward). This is limited by sv_maxspeed server side. And in CS this is limited by the per weapon speed.This should be equal to cl_backspeed and cl_sidespeed or you will have problem holding forward and left at the same time for example. | |||||||
cl_gaitestimation | 1 | 0 | 1 | boolean | netcode | Cl_gaitestimation uses an alternate path for computing the velocity of other players, which is used to drive their lower body (leg) animations. However, cs 1.6 forces it on and the cvar is ignored. | |||||
cl_gg | 0 | 0 | 1 | boolean | server | If enables, when viewing a demo with using playdemo or viewdemo, it runs the demo in benchmaking mode, quits the game and saves the results in fps.txt file . It's the same as running a demo with gg "demoname". | |||||
cl_himodels | 0 | 0 | 1 | boolean | video | Enables the High Quality models. This only works in Half-Life. | |||||
cl_idealpitchscale | 0.8 | float | video | This was used by a system (mostly for using joysticks) of adjusting the eye "pitch" angle when walking up/down sloped surfaces. It looks like this used to "scale" how quickly the pitch converged on the "ideal" pitch for the slope. This works when lookspring is enabled (mouse look need to be disabled) and when joystick look is enabled. The value is by how many degree the view is adjusted when walking up/down sloped surfaces. | |||||||
cl_lc | 1 | 0 | 1 | boolean | netcode | This is called "server-side hit computation and lag compensation". This only works if the server is allowing lag compensation (sv_unlag 1) and if the firing player is requesting lag compensation (cl_lc 1 - note that the player must also be predicting weapon firing client-side, too, or cl_lc is ignored). Don't change this. See also cl_lw. | |||||

cl_logofile | lambda | string | interface | It defines which spray you want to use among those: 8ball1, andre, camp1, chick1, chuckskull, devl1, gun1, lambda, skull, smiley, splatt, tiki, v_1 | |||||||
cl_lw | 1 | 0 | 1 | boolean | netcode | This is called "client-side weapon firing prediction". What this refers to is the instantaneous set of effects that occur when the fire button is pressed. These effects are all done client-side if client-side weapon firing prediction is enabled (cl_lw is 1). The effects include: starting the weapon firing animation, showing any muzzle flash, creating any ejected shells, drawing decals and bullet puffs at the impact spot on the wall of the level, starting the weapon firing sound, etc. However, the actual determination of whether the shot (for hit-scan weapons at least) hit another player is now and always has been done at the server. If this is disabled, Lag Compensation is also disabled. See cl_lc. | |||||
cl_minmodels | 0 | 0 | 1 | boolean | video | Enable displaying of only the minimum models: leet.mdl, gign.mdl and vip.mdl, enabling may improve performance. | |||||

cl_pmanstats | 0 | 0 | 1 | boolean | interface | It
displays on your screen infos about particles. The particles are smokes
grenades (maybe there are others things, but I didn't see anything
other that could change this particle meter). "Number of particles" is the number of particles that are in the map at the moment. "Particles Drawn" is how much particles are drawn on your screen at the moment. "CMiniMem Free" is how much memory is availaible for smokes. | |||||
cl_radartype | 0 | 0 | 1 | boolean | interface | Enables opaque (non translucent) radar. | |||||
cl_rate | 9999 | 1000 | 20000 | integer | netcode | This is how many bytes per seconds the client send to the server. Note: It's a command but it works like a cvar, except that sometimes it doesn't work if you try setting it in your cfg. | |||||
cl_resend | 6 | 1.5 | 20 | float | connection | Delay in seconds before the client will resend the 'connect' attempt. This is when you have problem connecting to server and when you see : "Retrying connection to server #1". And this hasn't anything to do with netcode like people originally though. | |||||
cl_righthand | 1 | -1 | 1 | integer | interface | If it's set to -1, you'll have your guns on left hand and your knife on right hand. If it's set to 0, all weapons are on left hand. If it's set to 1, all weapons are on right hand. | |||||
cl_shadows | 1 | 0 | 1 | boolean | video | Enables player shadows (small black circle), disable to improve performance. | |||||
cl_showerror | 0 | 0 | 1 | boolean | interface | Show the Prediction Errors on your screen. | |||||

cl_sidespeed | 400 | integer | movement | Sets the speed using the move left and move right key (+moveleft and +moveright). This is limited by sv_maxspeed server side. And in CS this is limited by the per weapon speed. This should be equal to cl_backspeed and cl_forwardspeed or you will have problem holding forward and left at the same time for example. | |||||||
cl_slist | 10 | integer | connection | This is how many seconds to wait max for responses when doing a LAN "slist" ping. Responses coming in later than that are ignored. | |||||||
cl_smoothtime | 0.1 | float | netcode | It defines the amount of time the view will be smoothly correct after a prediction error. If we set cl_smoothtime to 0 (or cl_nosmooth to 1), our interpolation wont be 'smoothed' or corrected and we will see the actual position of the players. Note that this will cause a jump in the players movements, but they will be correct. | |||||||
cl_solid_players | 1 | 0 | 1 | boolean | netcode | Whether the movement prediction engine should treat other players as solid. | |||||
cl_timeout | 300 | integer | connection | When you are inactive, it's after how many seconds the server disconnect you. This is also controled by sv_timeout (server side) | |||||||
cl_updaterate | 20 | 10 | 102 | integer | netcode | It's the number of updates per second you are requesting from the server. | |||||
cl_upspeed | 320 | integer | movement | Sets the speed using the swim up / swim down keys(+moveup / +moveleft). This is limited by sv_maxspeed server side. And in CS this is limited by the per weapon speed. | |||||||
cl_vsmoothing | 0.05 | 0.0 | float | netcode | This is called "View smoothing", enables interpolation between view vectors. It smooths/interpolates the view origin and angles when riding trains/plats. 0.05 should be good(if you have above 20 fps) and 0 disables it so it should increase your fps. | ||||||
cl_waterdist | 4 | integer | interface | It compensates the view along the surface of water. | |||||||
cl_weaponlistfix | 0 | 0 | 1 | boolean | netcode | It was to fix a bug in the original HL1 code related to the WeaponList usermessage - the message would just be ignored if this was set. | |||||
cl_weather | 1 | 0 | 3 | integer | video | Enables rain on de_aztec, 1 will cause a few rain drops, 2 will increase them, and 3 will cause a downpour. Disables it to improve performance. | |||||

clientport | 27005 | string | connection | Sets the port that the client connects to the server through. | |||||||
clockwindow | 0.5 | float | server | It's designed to combat the speedhacks being used in-game. The default value for this cvar is "0.5". As you lower the value (0.3, 0.1, 0.01, etc.), modem clients' games should feel jittery. Adjusting "clockwindow" does not affect the server. This doesn't really block the speedhacks now, but just make the speedhacker lag a lot when speedhacking. | |||||||
com_filewarning | 0 | ||||||||||
con_color | 255 180 30 | string | interface | Sets the color of chat messages. in RGB. In Won (the system before Steam), it was used to change the console text color as well. | |||||||

deathmatch | 0 | 0 | 1 | boolean | server | It defines if the server is multi player (1) or single player (0). When you launch a listen or dedicated server, this is auto set to 1. This only stay on 0 if you launch a map by map "mapname" or you play HL single player. | |||||
decalfrequency | 30 | 0 | integer | server | Sets the frequency at which players can spray their logos. Amount is in seconds, 0 means no delay (spray as fast as you can). | ||||||
default_fov | 90 | 10 | 150 | integer | interface | Sets the field of view in Half-Life. In CS changing it only takes effect when zoomed out over your body in spectator mode after you die. Also this will mess with your sensitivity if you try to adjust it. In Half-Life this could be used to get a "zoom" effect even for a gun without a scope | |||||
dev_overview | 0 | 0 | 1 | boolean | cheat | It shows the overview map created by the game. Used for mappers, to get overview image. | |||||
developer | 0 | 0 | 2 | integer | interface | Enables developer mode. Developer mode can be used to show information on screen and prints advanced informations into console. Developer 2 gives more advanced informations than developer 1. | |||||

displaysoundlist | 0 | 0 | 1 | boolean | server | If set, this shows the AI sound list to the console (only with developer 2). | |||||
edgefriction | 2 | integer | server | This is used to add slowdown when jumping off of an edge. When jumping off of a platform that is 70 units from the ground, the effect of edgefriction is greatly increased. When set higher, the force pulling you down is greater. (Gravity in a sense) | |||||||
ex_interp | 0.1 | 0.009 | 0.1 | integer | netcode | ex_interp sets the amount of time (in seconds) to interpolate in between each successive update(cl_updaterate). Set this variable to 0 and nothing else. Counter-Strike will automatically set your ex_interp to 1/cl_updaterate (i.e. your console will say: "ex_interp forced up to xx msec"). This is because the time in between each packet is exactly 1/(the # of updates per second), so this is how long you want your client to interpolate. | |||||
fakelag | 0 | integer | cheat | Simulates lag when the value is higher than 0. Higher value is more lag. | |||||||
fakeloss | 0 | integer | cheat | Simulates loss when the value is higher than 0. Higher value is more loss, sv_cheats must be enabled for this to work. | |||||||
fastsprites | 1 | 0 | 2 | integer | video | Defines quality of smokepuffs, 0 being the worst and 2 being the best. Set to lower quality to improve performance. | |||||
fps_max | 72 | 20 | 1000 | float | video | Set the maximum frames per second. You can only have over 100 if developer is 1 (on). | |||||
fps_modem | 0 | 20 | 100 | float | video | This is the old fps_max CVar for Internet. Leave this at 0 and use fps_max. | |||||
fs_lazy_precache | 0 | 0 | 1 | boolean | connection | Normally this toggle is disabled which in turn enables the game to load all of the necessary sound files for that specific map before the game starts. If this toggle is enabled the game will not preload the sound files during the start of the map, instead the sound files will only be loaded when they are necessary. The sound files will stay in memory after they are loaded in order to increase performance of the game by not having to reload the same sound files from the hard drive every time that the sound file is used. | |||||
fs_perf_warnings | 0 | 0 | 1 | boolean | developer | Controls printing of warnings about texture resampling. It needs developer to be 1 (On). | |||||
fs_precache_timings | 0 | 0 | 1 | boolean | developer | Perf printouts about sound and model loading. It needs developer to be 1 (On). | |||||
fs_startup_timings | 0 | 0 | 1 | boolean | developer | Controls a bunch of console spew about timings at startup time for the engine. It needs developer to be 1 (On). | |||||

gl_alphamin | 0.25 | boolean | video | This controls how filtering of alpha-masked textures (gratings, fences, screen-door stuff) affects the appearance of edges. Higher values makes these items (i.e. the gratings,fences,etc.) look "skinnier", 1 makes them absolutely disappear. | |||||||
gl_clear | 0 | 0 | 1 | boolean | video | If you enable gl_clear, it will clear the color-buffer. Basically, this means that when the camera can see into the void, either because of the map extending past the farclip plane or there is some kind of corruption of the map data. This is often used as a debugging tool as the 'gl_clear' color is red. It's used by Mappers to see if there are leaks in their maps. It seems that in D3D, it turns everything to red even if you are not outside the map. | |||||
gl_cull | 1 | 0 | 1 | boolean | video | Enables opengl GL_CULL_FACE setting. | |||||
gl_d3dflip | 0 | 0 | 1 | boolean | video | This
CVar have only a effect in D3D mode. It enable reversed rendering
order. With nVidia Detonator 53.03 and gl_d3dflip 0, you can get a WH. If you are having mouse lags problems in D3D( most of time in smokes ), you can try gl_d3dflip 1, it will reduce the lag or fix it. | |||||
gl_dither | 1 | 0 | 1 | boolean | video | 16 bit OpenGL rendering can use a form of dithering where the lack of colour depth is hidden by rounding different ways depending on the pixel being drawn. Setting to 0 can theoretically be faster or less hideous. Then again, it could look more bland. It depends on personal preference. It seems that at 32 bit it don't have effect on walls but only on sky. | |||||
gl_flipmatrix | 0 | 0 | 1 | boolean | video | It's a fix for your crosshair if you are using 3dfx drivers (Old video cards, example: Voodoo, Voodoo2, Rush or Banshee.) Maybe in CS 1.6 you can't even use 3dfx servers since there is no option like in 1.5 to enable it. If you use that with others drivers you'll get your AWP/Scout crosshair buggued. | |||||
gl_fog | 1 | 0 | 1 | boolean | video | Turn On/Off the fog effect. This was made for CZ and not for 1.6 but it can work in 1.6. It only works in de_inferno_cz. But with this you can get a colored map (or make it work in all maps) : You must have -dev in the launch parameters and set cl_fog_density to 1 + cl_fog_r/cl_fog_r/cl_fog_g (those control the color). | |||||
gl_keeptjunctions | 1 | 0 | 1 | boolean | video | Keep collinear points added by QCSG/QBSP to fix T-junctions. If you set it to 0 you will see cracks between some textures. | |||||
gl_lightholes | 1 | 0 | 1 | boolean | video | Controls whether to apply lighting to surfaces with "holes" (not sure if this still actually works). | |||||
gl_max_size | 512 | 256 | 512 | integer | video | The maximum pixel size which textures are loaded in. The value must be a multiple of 16 to prevent white textures, when a texture is larger than gl_max_size it will be cropped into that size, if that size isn't a multiple of 16 it will become a white texture.

r_fullbright | 0 | 0 | 4 | integer | video | Setting
this to "1" means no lightmaps and would render all textures without
any dynamic shadings/lighting (so what you get are brightly lit
textures, so much so that even the flashlight's beam is invisible). Setting to "2" would mean only lightmaps (all models are gouraud-shaded minus textures). NOTE : THE PARTICULAR VALUES ARE NOT FOR OPENGL, ONLY FOR SOFTWARE MODE. Okay, this might be useful for mappers. Setting to "3" means only lightmaps but with offset grid.
