openarena settings - comprehensive list

[vindimy]

So,

Since I've been working a bit on the openarena-config project (along with my classmates... sigh), I decided to post the latest milestone. It's a file that contains all (well, all _useful_) configuration settings present in current Openarena. And, their descriptions, etc. to the best of my knowledge.

See attached stuff.

Oh, and I'd appreciate if someone points out some mistakes/oversights because I'm sure there's a few. The ZIP file contains Excel files.

UPDATE 05/24: thanks for feedback to the first two posters below, attaching a new version of the settings list.

UPDATE 11/13/09: the files are also hosted at http://oa.thedimi.net/configs/ (there's PDF, Excel, and XML versions).

And, I have to thank the sites that have helped to build this settings database.

This is a good initiative. It's good to have all this information in one place and to have it OpenArena specific.
It would be nice to see which settings are cheat protected.

There were some things I noticed at a glance:
- I think sex can also be "it"?  You only have male and female listed. I might be wrong on that.
- The roll and pitch default values are wrong. The default value for cg_bobup is 0.005, not 0.002 as you have listed. Both cg_bobpitch and cg_bobroll have defaults of 0.002. cg_runroll is 0.005 and cg_runpitch is 0.002

Goood work vindimy! Thank you very much.

I have a simple question: why id Tech 3 have ~726 cvars and in OA only 256?

PS: I apologize for opening old topic.

Thanks a lot vindimy! I've been looking for some list of vars with explaination but couldn't find any, till now

I have a simple question: why id Tech 3 have ~726 cvars and in OA only 256?

I will find out why, but my method of collecting these vars was pretty simple - just use the default config that Openarena makes on first run. It's possible that Openarena doesn't write out all the vars to said config, in such case the list I provided is not comprehensive. In any case, I'll be resuming work on my openarena-config project shortly after finals It's time to release something useful!

Thanks man, I added the vars you mentioned shortly after your post!

Thanks, I don't remember whether I corrected my files but if I didn't, I definitely will.
