Adding Convars to the Multiplayer Advanced Tab

This page discusses how to add your own convars to the 'Advanced' section in the Multiplayer tab of the Options menu.

By default there should be nothing in this tab for your mod. To add convars to it create a user_default.scr file and place it in the cfg folder inside your mod folder. Or just edit the "settings.scr", also in the cfg folder. That file comes with the mod

Add the following inside it:

// NOTE:  THIS FILE IS AUTOMATICALLY REGENERATED, 
//DO NOT EDIT THIS HEADER, YOUR COMMENTS WILL BE LOST IF YOU DO
// User options script
//
// Format:
//  Version [float]
//  Options description followed by 
//  Options defaults
//
// Option description syntax:
//
//  "cvar" { "Prompt" { type [ type info ] } { default } }
//
//  type = 
//   BOOL   (a yes/no toggle)
//   STRING
//   NUMBER
//   LIST
//
// type info:
// BOOL                 no type info
// NUMBER       min max range, use -1 -1 for no limits
// STRING       no type info
// LIST          delimited list of options value pairs
//
//
// default depends on type
// BOOL is "0" or "1"
// NUMBER is "value"
// STRING is "value"
// LIST is "index", where index "0" is the first element of the list

VERSION 1.0

DESCRIPTION INFO_OPTIONS
{
	"r_drawviewmodel" //the convar
	{
		"Draw the viewmodel"  //the description
		{ BOOL }  //the type of convar
		{ "1" }  //the boolean value
	}	
	
	"viewmodel_fov"  //the convar
	{
		"Adjust the field of view"  //the description
		{ SLIDER 54 70 }  //the type of convar
		{ "1" }  //the boolean value
	}	
}

There's 2 example convars in there. One is a 'slider' and one a boolean. It's self explanatory how to add your own.
