Star Trek: Voyager Elite Force Cvars

Console Variables or cvars are usually defined with set or a derivative thereof by the principle set variable "value". The following variations of set are available:

`set` variation	Meaning
`set`	sets a cvar
`seta`	sets a cvar and marks it as archive (meaning it will be included in the config, in `hmconfig.cfg` in the respective mod folders or `baseEF`)
`sets`	sets a cvar marks it as server information
`sett`	sets a cvar marks it as a tool
`setu`	sets a cvar marks it as user information

sv_ at the beginning of a variable name usually stands for server variables, cl_ at the beginning usually stands for client variables.

There is quite a number of cvars for Star Trek: Voyager Elite Force. Below is a list of all of them, taken from vanilla version 1.2 and taken from Lilium Voyager.
