TNO CVar Catalog Rendering

TNO Cvars: Rendering

Generated by tools/build_cvar_wiki.py from the engine's own cvar registry. Edits made here are overwritten by the next run.

550 cvars of Wolfenstein: The New Order — renderer, textures and video. Grouped by name prefix; prefixes with fewer than 10 cvars share the last table. Part of the TNO cvar catalogue, which explains how to set a cvar in this game and where the data comes from.

Status: cheat = wiped at startup when set with +name value, set it with +toggle name value value instead; normal = +name value works; saved = not a cheat and kept in wolfConfig.cfg; init-only = command line only; read-only = cannot be set.
