Revision as of 08:42, 17 January 2005 by 218.214.23.223 (talk) (corrected historical definition of CVAR (console, not configuration))(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)CVAR is an abbreviation for Console Variable.
This is a type of variable used in many computer games and computer 3d simulation engines that can be manipulated by a text based command line interface within the game or engine, often called a console. They commonly hold configuration parameters, but can be used for anything that may potentially be accessed and/or modified by the console.
The most common usage of CVARs is probably by server operators to customise their online game servers.
