Cool. Thanks man.

There's one in particular I was wanting to use "cl_crosshair_circle_mode"

But I don't want to force it on players.
A friend of mine was able to compile a plugin that seemed to only work on windows that unlocked the hidden cvars without having to add them to the server.cfg.

So perhaps rephrasing my question would help a bit.

If I do a cvarlist on my server I only return 2100 or so results.
This list is nearly 5000 results.
For the cvars that are client based and therefore optional, how do I go about enabling them without forcing them on all clients that connect?

Just enable them on your end.
Stick them in your autoexec.cfg

Sadly that particular cvar always returns an Unknown Command error.

A friend of got a hold of an unlock hidden cvar plugin but it doesn't seem to work on Linux servers...
I think he compiled it himself but I've not been able to get a hold of him so I can't ask him to see about getting it working for Linux and I don't have the .sp file...

For instance, I rent my servers from gameservers.com
But the cvar list only shows 2113 cvars.

The only way I know to use that cl_crosshair_circle_mode command is to install MM and SM to my local game folder and then add the cvarunlock plugin that works for windows.

The down side to that is that is messes up my admin menu for my actual hosted servers.

It's kind of an either or situation. So... until a plugin is written to unhide the hidden cvars I guess I'm out of luck unless someone has some other suggestion.

Ok, Im new to all of this...and I know Im probably in the wrong section, but I was wanting to find out how to mod a server. All Ive found is how to buy and use premade mods. Can I get a basic tutorial of how to use Cvar's and how to mod a server.

You should post a new thread in the General category.

i cant seem to find the Survivor Health CVAR. Anyone know what it is?

I apologize for necroing a three year old thread, but there are new L4D2 cvars that came out in relation to the latest update. I figured, this is as good a place as any to put them, right?
