Hello all,

What seems to be the difference between having 'set' instead of 'seta' before a console command?

set sets a cvar
seta sets a cvar and flags it as archive
sets sets a cvar and flags it as server info
sett sets a cvar and flags it as tool
setu sets a cvar and flags it as user info

Nice.

What is the end product of these, though.

I'm guessing 'seta' makes the cvar get written into the .cfg file. sets makes it get sent to the master server/sent in query. setu and t.... I dunno
