messages:

You can set model, skin and color for each team in the game (players, alpha,
beta, delta, gamma). It does not depend on whether the team is your team or
enemy team, but rather you set the values for each invidual team. Later, you
can force your team to always be appear as the alpha team, in which case the
enemy team in two team games will always appear as the beta team. These
settings can be easily set from the UI, but here is a list of variables anyway.

- cg_team[TEAM]model <model name> - default: ""
For every team there is a cvar named like this (for example cg_teamREDmodel).
If set to anything else than "" the model of all the players in this team will
be forced to the one specified.

- cg_team[TEAM]skin <skin name> - default: "default"
For every team there is a cvar named like this (for example cg_teamREDskin).

be forced to the one specified.

For every team there is a cvar named like this (for example cg_teamREDcolor).
If set to anything else than "" the color of all the players in this team will
be forced to the one specified.

- cg_forceTeamAlpha <0 or 1> - default: 0
If set, the team you are in will be shown as alpha team and the real alpha team
will be shown as your real team.

:: BattlEye support:

The anti-cheat system BattlEye is integrated in Warsow. BattlEye.dll is the BE
Client. Note: BattlEye doesn't have a linux client yet. To see which players
have BattlEye enabled on a server where it's optional, use 'players' command.
You can enable or disable the BE Client on the server browser screen, the
corresponding cvar is:

- cl_battleye <0 or 1> - default: 1
With BattlEye enabled, you can join any server. With BE disabled, you can only
join BE disabled and optional servers.

:: Timeout system:

You can call a timeout when playing Warsow. This pauses game for some time,
allowing you to take that important phone call and after that continue playing
like nothing had happened. All servers might not allow timeouts, or only allow
certain amount per game. There are few commands for this purpose:

- /timeout
Starts a timeout. This pause will last three minutes unless timein is called
before that.

- /timein
Resumes game when in timeout. There will be five second countdown first.
Note that only the person or team who called the timeout can call timein.

- /callvote timeout
If the vote passes timeout begins. This can be used even if you or your team
doesn't have any timeouts left.

- /callvote timein
If the vote passes timein is called. This can be used even if you didn't call
the timeout.

- /callvote maxtimeouts <unlimited or a number>
Changes the number of timeouts a player, or a team in teambased gametypes, can
use in one game.

:: Automatic downloading:

It's possible to automatically download missing maps from the web or directly
from the server. This feature is enabled by default, you don't need to do
anything. Two config variables allow you to control it:

- cl_downloads <0 or 1> - default: 1
Whether to allow automatic downloading at all.
Both from the web and directly from the server.

- cl_downloads_from_web <0 or 1> - default: 1
Enable or disable downloading from URLs provided by the server.

:: High resolution timer for Windows:

An enhanced timing system is available on win32 client. This code is activated
using a command line option (-hwtimer) and uses windows high resolution timers.
By default it is not activated as it may cause some lags on some computers. To
try it create a shortcut to warsow.exe and add -hwtimer to it or create a batch
file.

:: Misc settings and commands:

- in_minmsecs <milliseconds> - default: 5
Defaults the minimum amount of time to wait before asking for new input data.

:: :: Server features

:: Timeout system:

As described above, clients can now call timeouts while in game. Server can
control how many timeouts per game are allowed with the following cvar:

- g_maxtimeouts <number>
This sets the number of timeouts each player, or a team in teambased gametypes,
can use per one game. If set to -1 unlimited number of timeouts is allowed.
Note that this cvar can be changed with callvote (to disable this callvote use
g_disable_vote_maxtimeouts 1).

:: Automatic downloading:

It's possible to allow clients download missing maps from the server or from
URLs provided by the server. By default the server allows downloading directly,
but doesn't provide any URLs. Following variables can be used to customize this
behaviour:

- sv_uploads <0 or 1> - default: 1
Whether allow uploading at all. Both from the server or from URLs.

- sv_uploads_from_server <0 or 1> - default: 1
Enable or disable uploading directly from the server.

- sv_uploads_baseurl <URL> - default: "" (empty string)
Controls the URL sent to clients for webdownloading. This base value will have
a slash (/) and the filename (map_wdm1.pk3) appended to it, before it's send to
client. Use "" to disable sending of the URLs.

:: BattlEye support:

Like described above, there is an anti-cheat system integrated in Warsow.
This system is based on master server and client that communicate through the
Warsow server. You can control BE support server side with the following cvar:

- sv_battleye <0, 1 or 2> - default: 1
Value 0 disables BattlEye support on the server. Values 1 and 2 enable it, the
difference is that 1 allows any player to join the server whereas 2 requires
the players to have BE enabled. Usage of this value is highly discouraged since
Linux version of Warsow client does not yet have support for BattlEye.
If BE is optional, you can use the "players" command to see who has BE enabled.

:: Challengers queue:

Duel and midair gametypes allows for using challengers queue. This means that
after duel has been playing winner stays in and first player from challengers
queue replaces his opponent. Following cvar can be used to re-enable old
behaviour.

- g_challengers <0 or 1> - default: 1
Whether to use challengers queue in duel and midair gametypes.

:: Console logging changes:

With these variables you can control writing of the server logfile. By default
log named "wswconsole.log" is written.

- logconsole <filename> - default: "wswconsole.log"
Sets the filename where to log console message. Use "" to disable logging.

- logconsole_append <0 or 1> - default: 1
Whether the append to the end of the old file if it exists, instead of
deleting it.

- logconsole_flush <0 or 1> - default: 0
Enabling this make Warsow flush console file after every printed line. This
takes much more resources, but ensures that you get last in the log if the game
crashes.
