-# there are several options to tweak the server's performance:
-# net_port defines the UDP-port used for connections to the server
-# fs_game should be the mod you want to play. Not necessary for vanilla-q3/FFA
-# dedicated 0 is non-dedicted an not available with ioq3ded, 1 is LAN, 2 is Internet
-# sv_pure 1 prevents clients from using their own pk3-files
-# com_hunkmegs defaults to 56, should be 128/192/256 on a modern system(?)
