An explanation of how cs are passed between server/client/cgame module also would be much appreciated!!

The strings are of arbitrary size, i.e. they're not limited to 255 chars. From a mod author perspective they're dead simple to use: just call `trap_SetConfigstring(index, value)`, the engine takes care of the rest.
