Does anybody know of a complete list of all Renegade console commands and variables? I can't seem to find one anywhere, and trying to guess the list using the console "hint" system would sort of take ages...

Ideally I'd like to post such a list on PCNC, in the Renegade info section for all to see.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Additional Commands:

The Renegade server supports these additional command line options:

startserver=XXXXXXX.INI -
Use this option to pass a specific server.ini format file to the server. This can be used in conjunction with the /multi option to enable multiple servers to connect to the GameSpy service. Each server.ini file can contain the name of a specific game config file (on the Config = line) so that each server instance can have its own game settings (including the name).

/multi -
Allow multiple instances of the server to run concurrently.

ip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -
Specifies the IP address to bind to for multi-homed systems.

Hope that helps.

Thanks you guys, but what exactly are the wierder ones for?

e.g. SCREEN_UV_BIAS? SET_BW_BUDGET_OUT? TOGGLE_SORTING?

And is there any time where it's *not* good to turn on Client Physics Optimisations?

SET_BW_BUDGET_OUT:
Set Bandwidth budget. Basically putting your own Bandwith cap for the server. If you are running the gameserver on a remote dedicated server for example, and you don't wan't to be cut off because you surpassed your bandwidth, then you use that command.

SCREEN_UV_BIAS:
I think it just cuts down on how many pixels are calculated etc bt the computer. To lighten the load.

TOGGLE_SORTING:
I think it is to do with the game engine checking if .w3d's are present or not. Again to reduce server load.

I am not 100% sure on the last two, but i think i am right.

As for the Client Physics Optimization:
If it is turned on or not, vis sectors in well-made maps do the same thing.
They Stop calculation of objects that aren't visible. So no, there isn't any time that it is bad.

If there's never a situation where CPO is bad, then one has to wonder why it isn't turned on by default...

The Quality of the game. Textures, emmitters look a little different.

No, they don't. Client Physics Optimization optimizes the vis sectors a bit. It doesn't do very much, but can help in certain situations.

Screen UV bias affects text, mainly. It doesn't do much, if anything noticable.

Sorting has to do with a static sorting level. It will automatically apply static sorting levels to the objects that need them. Sorting levels tell the game not to sort those polygons, preventing problems with multipass bump mapped water, complex alpha blends with more than two passes, etc...
