== Server CVARS ==


Trepidation utilizes most standard quake 3 cvars, of which you can find a pretty extensive list here: (need link)

In addition Trepidation has a whole set of it’s own CVARs listed below: g_MultiJumps # - This enables multijumping, you can set this to how many times you can multijump. 0 for off. Multijumping is the ability to jump again while in mid air.

'''g_suddendeath''' 0-off/1-on : Enable or disable sudden death mode, whereas when teams are tied, the game will not end until the tie is broken.

'''g_instagib''' 0-off/1-on : Instagib one shot kill game mode.

'''g_Turrets''' 0-off/1-on : Disables/Enables the ability to build turrets on CTF games.

'''g_MaxTurrets''' : Set the maximum number of turrets allowed per team on CTF Games.

'''g_pointrebuild''' 0-off/1-onn : in the trepidation gametype, set to 1, will force both teams to rebuild power cores and all buildables after a point is made. This defaults to 1

'''g_GameMode'''

*0 – None
*1 – Arsenal (must use g_gametype 0)
*2 – Survival
*3 – Trepidation (must use g_gametype 3)
*4 – One4All

'''g_GrappleMode''' – Changes how the grapple acts.
*0 – Grapple acts normal, latching onto a wall will propel you towards and object.
*1 – Aside from acting normal the grapple can be used as an instagib weapon.

'''g_allowGrapple''' 0-off/1-on Enable or Disable the offhand grapple.

'''g_PCTeamkills''' – 1 = Can Destroy Your Own Power Core // 2 = You cannot destroy your own Power core

'''g_mulitjump''' – xxx Not Yet Implemented

'''g_allowDevastator''' - 0-disable/1-enabled (default is 1). Setting to 0 will disable the Devastator on levels and replace Devastator weapon and ammo pickups with the singularity cannon.

'''g_randommap''' 0-off/1-on – This ignores the traditional map rotation and selects a random map from a list of maps pulled from a file specified in g_mapfile. You can use “randmap” in your configuration or in the console to select a random map.

'''g_mapfile “filename”''' – This is used in conjunction with g_randommap. This is a text file with one map name per line (no .pk3). This file should be places in your base directory and contain one map per line.

'''g_AutoChangeMap''' 1 - On | 0 Off This will force a server with bots enabled to the nextmap when a round is finished if there are no human players on the map. This way a server doesn't sit on the scoreboard for an unpopular map for too long.

'''g_easymap''' 1 - on | 0 off This will read the mapfile specified in g_mapfile and sequentially rotate the maps based on the maps and order of this file.

'''g_RegenHealth''' 1 - On | 0 Off - If enabled health will be auto-regenerative. Meaning that you are given 1 health every second.

'''g_RegenAmmo''' 1 - On | 0 Off - If enabled ammo will be auto-regenerative. Meaning that you are given 1 ammo every second.

The following CVARs designate what weapons are available on each map if you turn the Flame Thrower off, the Flame Thrower will no longer spawn on maps which contain it. In the Arsenal game mode these are used to specify the weapons each player is given in their arsenal. In the Last Man Standing game mode these are used to determine which weapons can be randomly handed out at the beginning of each round

'''g_StartGauntlet''' 0-off/1 on

'''g_StartMG''' 0-off/1 on

'''g_StartSG''' 0-off/1 on

'''g_StartGaus'''s 0-off/1 on

'''g_StartFlame''' 0-off/1 on

'''g_StartPlasma''' 0-off/1 on

'''g_StartSing''' 0-off/1 on

'''g_StartBFG''' 0-off/1 on

'''g_StartRandom''' 0-off/1-on In Arsenal, if you want the server to automatically select a combination of weapons you can use g_StartRandom '''g_StartRandom''' 0-off/1 on

'''g_NumRounds''' # - Used in Survival to specify how many rounds should be played per match.  Default is 0.
