Possibility to prove, that you do NOT use scripts. Of course, values 0 and 1 will block 'rotate' command.

Default: 2
| value | description |
| 0 | Same as 1, but also block fast +lookdown/+lookup, so even simple rjump will be impossible. Blocks KTPro /kfjump and /krjump aliases. |
| 1 | Allow only simple scripts - it will block left/right turning, so fjump (for example) will be impossible, but normal rjump (+lookdown;+attack;+jump) will be possible. Blocks KTPro alias /kfjump too. |
| 2 | Allow scripts (default) |
Your current 'allow_scripts' setting will be reported to 'f_scripts' query and anyone will be able to check it. If anyone said 'f_scripts' since last mapchange, the client will also autoreport any change of allow_scripts. So if you don't use scripts, turn them off to prove you don't use them. And remember - scripts _are allowed_, so don't call ppl who use them 'cheaters'. This variable will be set to 0 on startup if a command line switches -norjscripts or -noscripts are used

Usefull in most teamplay games where you don't want to carry your best weapon in your hands but want to be ready to instantly shoot from it. Note: Doesn't work for impulse command, you have to use new weapon command.

This variable toggles the automatic strafing when the +klook command is used. When set to "1" and the player used the +klook command, the keys that are bound to the +left and +right commands will now act as if they were bound to +moveleft and +moveright. This command was put it in order to allow keyboard player to combine the +strafe and +klook commands into one. This command also has effect on the mouse controls. When set to "1" moving the mouse left and right will make the player move left and right instead of making him turn left and right.

Sets mouse acceleration like in q3.
Support: Windows: OpenGL Windows: Software Linux: GLX Linux: X11 Linux: SVGA Mac OS X FreeBSD
Default: 0
Variable is float.
This variable toggles mouse input filtering. When set to "1", the values which are received from the mouse's input will first be averaged together and then that value will be used in the game. The reason for this command is that some mice had problems with sending sporadic coordinates which make the input from the mouse jerky, also when using a serial or PS/2 mouse, the Windows operating system will only sample mouse input every 25ms, that is 40 times a second (for USB mice the sample rate is 125 Hz, that is every 8 ms). When set to "1" this variable will smooth out the input but it will cause latency between the movement of the mouse and the actual response in the game. When using a PS/2 mouse it is thus first recommended to try to increase the sampling rate either by changing it via your mouse driver or by using the ps2rate program which can be downloaded at ps2rate homepage . If you are playing the game at frame rates above 40 FPS and if you can't increase the sampling rate of your PS/2 rate or if you are playing with a serial mouse it is recommended that you enable this toggle.

This variable controls how fast the player should move forward and back when the mouse is moved forward and back. This command has no effect if the +mlook command is in effect because when the mouse is moved forward and back the player looks up and down instead of moving forward and back. Some players might want to set this variable to "0" if they happen not to use +mlook constantly and they only want to use the mouse to turn the player. Setting this variable to "0" will prevent the inadvertent movement of the player forward and back while trying to make precise turns with the mouse.
Support: Windows: OpenGL Windows: Software Linux: GLX Linux: X11 Linux: SVGA Mac OS X FreeBSD
Default: 1
Variable is float.
This variable sets the level of precision when the mouse is used to make the player look up and down while the +mlook command is in effect. By default this variable is set in such a way that moving the mouse forward makes the player look up and moving the mouse backward makes the player look down. Some people prefer to have this movement inverted just like it is inverted for airplane controls. If you wish to use this inverted mouse movement then you should set this variable to a negative value (for example "-0.022"). It is a matter of preference which movement method is used by players. Also lowering the value for this variable will increase the level of precision when the mouse is used to make the player look up and down. This variable can be used separately from the sensitivity variable to provide greater control over the mouse sensitivity for movement along the pitch. It is advisable to keep the value for this variable constant at 0.022 or -0.022 and instead use the sensitivity variable to change the overall sensitivity of the mouse. Also, some script writers lower the value for this variable along with a lowered value for the fov variable in order to provide more precision when the fov variable is used to zoom.
Support: Windows: OpenGL Windows: Software Linux: GLX Linux: X11 Linux: SVGA Mac OS X FreeBSD

Variable is float.
This variable should be set to your mouse rate (in Hz). Note: need -m_smooth and -dinput to commandline.

When the +strafe command is active or when "lookspring" is set to "1" this variable is used to control the sensitivity when the mouse is moved left and right to make the player move left and right.
Support: Windows: OpenGL Windows: Software Linux: GLX Linux: X11 Linux: SVGA Mac OS X FreeBSD
Default: 0.8
Variable is float.
This variable controls how fast the player turns left and right when the mouse is moved left and right. It is recommended that this variable be left alone and instead the "sensitivity" variable is used to change the level of precision. If you set this variable to a negative value you will reverse the mouse movement. Some script writers use this variable to increase the level of precision when the "fov" variable is used to zoom the screen.
Support: Windows: OpenGL Windows: Software Linux: GLX Linux: X11 Linux: SVGA Mac OS X FreeBSD
