Designation of abbreviations

Flags

For a better understanding of how and where you can enter console commands, valve puts flags on each created command, their interpretations are listed below. All information is taken from the official website of Valve developers

cl (client) — for commands that change parameters only on the local client (only for you) and have no relation to the server. Such commands can be executed in other matches

sv (server) — for commands changing parameters on the server for one or all clients present on it. Such commands can only be executed on your own server, as well as on maps launched in training mode (which is also considered as your own server)

cheat — for commands that when launched will disrupt the balance of the game and are designated as cheat. To execute commands with the cheat flag, the sv_cheats 1 command must be activated on the server

per_user — for commands that apply only to the player who entered it

rep (replicated) – for commands that must have the same values ​​on both sides and will be applied to all clients (players) on the server

nf (notify) – for commands where the server sends a message to all clients whenever a variable is changed. This must be used for variables that change the rules of the game that are important to all players

a (archive) — some console variables contain user settings and in order not to specify them at each launch, it is written to the config.cfg file and will be executed at each launch

norecord — for commands whose variables should not be written to demo files

Values

All data in the values ​​are indicated as they are set by default by the developers themselves

true — the value at which the command is enabled, also an interchangeable parameter 1 and true are the same thing

false — value at which the command is disabled, also an interchangeable parameter 0 and false are the same thing
