What you want to look for are cvars that have the word "expert" in them. VS mode uses the ones with the name "normal". If you set your config to set the values of the "normal" ones to the value of "expert" you will have duplicated the expert settings into versus.

(Use the keyword EXPERT to easily find the settings of hard, normal, and easy)

For example, how long it takes the tank to burn to death when he is on fire:

tank_burn_duration_expert 40
tank_burn_duration_hard 35
tank_burn_duration_normal 30
tank_burn_duration_vs 30

Normal is 30 while hard is 35. But you'll also notice there is a specific versus value, _vs. Some values have versus versions, others do not. If they do not, then the server is using the value from the _normal version. In your searches, look for the keywords:
_versus
versus_
_vs
vs_

to find those specific versus values.
Unfortunately I think the horde attack damage is missing from the list and thats one of the key things needed to mimic advanced versus, it also seems that a few other variables are MIA. Please prove me wrong because I cant for the life of me seem to find them and I downloaded the ini.
