This is a very quick edit (With permission) of BAIL's Cvar Hider.

All this does is take a list of Cvars, and remove the FCVAR_CHEAT flag. This should allow clients to use the cvar, such as thirdperson, mat_*, or other cvars you want enabled for your server.

Did this for:

I literally altered like 4 lines of this so all real credit is BAIL's.

BAIL's post. I changed the filename.

Looks like this needs to also remove FCVAR_SPONLY, will change shortly.

Uploaded new version, now removes FCVAR_SPONLY too

What vars need to be placed in the txt file?

[FlyingMongoose]

Whatever you want to not be blocked because it's a cheat.

[chumly]

But sv_cheats would be required to be blocked to allow mat_wireframe to be used right?
And if sv_cheats is blocked then all 'cheats' vars would be able to be run by everyone, correct?
I can't just block mat_wireframe as the client will not allow it to be run while 'sv_cheats 0' is set.

I haven't gotten around to testing it, but the idea behind this plugin is that you put mat_wireframe in the file, and that will cause mat_wireframe to be allowed.

But there's no gaurentee, I wrote it for someone else and haven't had time to try it out.

I'll test it out again ferret. chumly, I am working on a modified version for control access.

I haven't tested this, but I believe you can only remove the cheats flag from "server side" cvars. Since mat_wireframe is being used on the client, it will still be considered a cheat.

I would expect cheat cvars/commands that are run from the server to work with this, for example: endround.

[ferret]

L Duke, we were kind of hoping that sv_cheats and fcvar_cheat checking occured server side, therefore this worked.

Actually, I'm SURE they test server side, but I'm not sure they ALSO test client side. If they test for it client side before submitting it to the server, it won't work.

But again that would assume that the server decides whether the client can use it based on the server's copy and its flags
