Quick reference for the 9 most important keys in this Sven Co-op config. Hover or tap any key to see what it controls — useful when you're tuning a server for the first time and don't want to grep through the upstream wiki.
Core
1 settinghostname- Server name shown in the in-game browser. Keep it under 64 characters and avoid colour codes if you want clean Steam listings.
Network
3 settingssv_allowdownload- 1 lets clients download missing maps / models from the server. Slow — better to pair with sv_downloadurl.
sv_allowupload- 1 lets clients upload custom sprays. Disable to mitigate inappropriate content / exploits.
sv_region- Geographic region for the master server browser. 255 = world, 0 = US East, 1 = US West, 3 = Europe, 4 = Asia.
Gameplay
1 settingmp_timelimit- Map time limit in minutes (TF2 / casual). 0 disables.
Voice
2 settingssv_voicecodec- Codec used for voice (vaudio_speex / vaudio_celt). Newer Source builds default to celt for higher quality.
sv_voiceenable- Master switch for in-game voice chat. 1 enabled, 0 disabled server-wide.
RCON
1 settingrcon_password- Remote console password. Use a long random string — Source RCON is unencrypted, so anyone sniffing your wire can grab it if it's weak.
Logging
1 settinglog- Master switch for server logging. `on` writes to logs/L<date>.log — required for SourceMod and stats.
