This variable defaults to 0, and that's my recommended value.

I keep seeing people enabling eventscripts_noisy when I can't tell why they wish to do so? This setting can potentially slow down your server because there are a handful of events that fire constantly that you'd rarely need with eventscripts. There are only four events enabled by setting the value to 1:

• player_footstep
  bullet_impact (when bullets hit walls)
  weapon_reload
  weapon_fire

Now, these events probably don't slow down the server immensely, but they will add milliseconds to each and every time a player takes a step, hits the wall with a shotgun pellet, reloads their gun, fires their gun, etc. I put them behind a variable to improve server performance, and I recommend you keep it set to 0 unless you need these events.

These 4 events might be handy for some scripts, but they are probably not things people should enable by default.

Does anyone have any scripts that actually use these four events?

Does bullet_impact not fire on players too? I used it sometimes maybe I have forget to turn it off.

I've been experimenting with an alternative to weapon restricting (on maps where the weapons are placed around the map, rather than people having to buy them).

I guess that's the only reason I use it, currently. But when I have time, I'll probably be messing around with more scripts that need it enabled.

bullet_impact only fires for wall hits. player_hurt triggers for players.

recently i used it for an AFK script. i used the footsteps & the time command for that. if a player didn't moved for 2 minutes it was switched to spec.

was easy to code, but the server cpu time was quite high for that

Yeah, player_footstep fires *constantly* so any script there would have to be extremely small to prevent the server from lagging. I'd be curious to see the scripts, if you happened to have them handy.
