| sv_vote_only_commands | custom cvar | |
| sv_vote_override_mostrecent | custom cvar | 0 |
| sv_vote_simple_majority_factor | which quotient of the VOTERS constitute a majority too? (0 = off, otherwise it must be higher than or equal to sv_vote_majority_factor) | 0 |
| sv_vote_singlecount | set to 1 to count votes once after timeout or to 0 to count with every vote | 0 |
| sv_vote_stop | a player can not call a vote again for this many seconds when he stopped this vote (e.g. to correct it) | 15 |
| sv_vote_timeout | a vote will timeout after this many seconds | 60 |
| sv_vote_wait | a player can not call a vote again for this many seconds when his vote was not accepted | 120 |
| sv_wallfriction | how much you slow down when sliding along a wall | 1 |
| sv_warsowbunny_accel | how fast you accelerate until after reaching sv_maxspeed (it gets harder as you near sv_warsowbunny_topspeed) | 0.1593 |
| sv_warsowbunny_airforwardaccel | how fast you accelerate until you reach sv_maxspeed | 1.00001 |
| sv_warsowbunny_backtosideratio | lower values make it easier to change direction without losing speed; the drawback is “understeering” in sharp turns | 0.8 |
| sv_warsowbunny_topspeed | soft speed limit (can get faster with rjs and on ramps) | 925 |
| sv_warsowbunny_turnaccel | max sharpness of turns (also master switch for the sv_warsowbunny_* mode; set this to 9 to enable) | 0 |
| sv_wateraccelerate | rate at which a player accelerates to sv_maxspeed while in the air, if less than 0 the sv_accelerate variable is used instead | -1 |
| sv_waterfriction | how fast you slow down, if less than 0 the sv_friction variable is used instead | -1 |
| sv_writepicture_quality | WritePicture quality offset (higher means better quality, but slower) | 10 |
| sys_colortranslation | terminal console color translation (supported values: 0 = strip color codes, 1 = translate to ANSI codes, 2 = no translation) | 1 |
| sys_specialcharactertranslation | terminal console conchars to ASCII translation (set to 0 if your conchars.tga is for an 8bit character set or if you want raw output) | 1 |
| sys_ticrate | how long a server frame is in seconds, 0.05 is 20fps server rate, 0.1 is 10fps (can not be set higher than 0.1), 0 runs as many server frames as possible (makes games against bots a little smoother, overwhelms network players), 0.0138889 matches QuakeWorld physics | 0.05 |
| sys_useclockgettime | use POSIX clock_gettime function (which has issues if the system clock speed is far off, as it can't get fixed by NTP) for timing rather than gettimeofday (which has issues if the system time is stepped by ntpdate, or apparently on some Xen installations) | 0 |
| sys_usenoclockbutbenchmark | don't use ANY real timing, and simulate a clock (for benchmarking); the game then runs as fast as possible. Run a QC mod with bots that does some stuff, then does a quit at the end, to benchmark a server. NEVER do this on a public server. | 0 |
