Flagged cvars

The following cvars use a "flag" value which acts as a combination of integers to specify a group of items:

• wpflags "VAL" : what weapons a player should have at spawn.

The corresponding values are:

• Machinegun 1
• Shotgun 2
• Grenade Launcher 4
• Rocket Launcher 8
• Lightning Gun 16
• Railgun 32
• Plasma Gun 64
• BFG10K 128

So, in order to let a player starts with a shotgun, a grenade launcher and a rocket launcher you can use "wpflags 14" (for 14 is 2+4+8). Note that players always start with the machinegun and the gauntlet.

The removeX cvars allow to choose to remove items from a map, X is either ammo, item, powerup or weapon:

• removeammo "VAL" use the same numbers as wpflags but for the corresponding ammunition
• removeeapon "VAL" use the same numbers as wpflags
• removeitem "VAL", where VAL can used the following values:
  • item_armor_shard 1
  • item_armor_combat 2
  • item_armor_body 4
  • item_health_small 8
  • item_health 16
  • item_health_large 32
  • item_health_mega 64
  • holdable_teleporter 128
  • holdable_medkit 256
• removepowerup "VAL", where VAL can used the following values:
• item_quad 1
• item_enviro 2
• item_haste 4
• item_invis 8
• item_regen 16
• item_flight 32
