I believe the rules assume that the only cvars allowed to be changed are the ones that can modified from the options. Yeah, everybody knows that. However, since TPG does not require the user cfg along with demos - in fact it is pointless to ask since the disputed can pretty much send any cfg/valid cfg. We heard some time ago about norecoil scripts being used but without a tool that can actually detected whats in being used, its nearly impossible to do something.

I believe that some people here still have rock age desktops therefore they try to gather as much as fps they can. So, the cvar cl_weather "0" is common to be found because the turns off rain effects particles in some maps and some map explosions. However, as per the rules, it is not a listed cvar and can't changed in options either.
I mean, according to a strict reading of the rules, I'm not allowed to type "sensitivity 1.2" or whatever into console unless it's an "Approved cvar". I'm not asking for a config checker, I just want to know if there's a list of acceptable commands/cvars. A certain tpg admin informed me of a cvar with an interesting effect a while back and I have no idea whether that is just general knowledge now or I shouldn't be using it in scrims/matches.

This. Wasn't there an config checker CAL used back in the day?
