/*
cvar_t variables are used to hold scalar or string variables that can be changed or displayed at the console or prog code as well as accessed directly
in C code.
it is sufficient to initialize a cvar_t with just the first two fields, or
you can add a ,true flag for variables that you want saved to the configuration
file when the game is quit:
cvar_t r_draworder = {"r_draworder","1"};
cvar_t scr_screensize = {"screensize","1",true};
Cvars must be registered before use, or they will have a 0 value instead of the float interpretation of the string. Generally, all cvar_t declarations should be registered in the apropriate init function before any console commands are executed:
Cvar_RegisterVariable (&host_framerate);
C code usually just references a cvar in place:
if ( r_draworder.value )
It could optionally ask for the value to be looked up for a string name:
if (Cvar_VariableValue ("r_draworder"))
Interpreted prog code can access cvars with the cvar(name) or
cvar_set (name, value) internal functions:
teamplay = cvar("teamplay");
cvar_set ("registered", "1");
The user can access cvars from the console in two ways:
r_draworder prints the current value
r_draworder 0 sets the current value to 0
Cvars are restricted from having the same names as commands to keep this
interface from being ambiguous.
