Convar Type Key
| Type | Explanation | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| a | Archive - saved out to the user's config.cfg file | ||
| client | Client - Client .dll created variable (so it can't be used when the client .dll is unloaded) | ||
| demo | Demo - Used for creating/playing demo files -- all with this value are recorded into the start of a demo so when the .dem is played, the values of those vars are restored what they were set to during recording | ||
| matsys | Material System - created by rendering system | ||
| nf | Notify - notify's all players connected to server any time convar changes | ||
| Printable Only - the convar string value can only contain characters which are printable (no control characters), used for usernames | |||
| prot | Protected - server Convar, but does not notify of new value, etc. (things like rcon_password) | ||
| replic | Replicated - the convar value is replicated to all clients (things like sv_gravity); can only be changed by server | ||
| repr | representation - this is for performance | ||
| server | Gamedll - Server controlled variable (defined in the server. Similar issue as the client ones) | ||
| studio | Studio Render - convar was created by the studio rendering module (studiorender.dll) | ||
| user | User Info - the convar value is replicated from clients to server (e.g., username in multiplayer, rate setting, etc.) |
