## CVars added in dhewm3 that I'm currently too lazy to document more thoroughly ## Other CVars added in dhewm3
- g_hitEffect - `g_hitEffect` if set to `1` (the default), mess up player camera when taking damage.
Set to `0` if you don't like that effect.
- in_nograb - `in_nograb` if set to `1`, the mouse isn't grabbed when ingame. Not overly useful for normal playing
- in_grabKeyboard (unless maybe you play with a gamepad), but very useful for debugging. Default is `0`.
- `in_grabKeyboard` if enabled (`1`), grabs all keyboard input if mouse is grabbed, so keyboard shortcuts
from the OS like Alt-Tab or Windows Key won't work and thus not accidentally interrupt your playing.
Defaults to `0`.
- in_tty - `in_kbd` allows you to set your keyboard layout so the console key works better. Mostly useful with SDL1.2
- in_kbd - `in_tty` tab completion and history for input from the **terminal** (on Unix-likes, like Linux, macOS, BSD, ...)
- r_fullscreenDesktop - `r_fullscreenDesktop` `0`: "real"/"exclusive" fullscreen mode, might switch screen resolution
- r_fillWindowAlphaChan `1`: "desktop" fullscreen mode, which keeps desktop resolution and is more like a borderless fullscreen window
- `r_fillWindowAlphaChan` Make sure alpha channel of windows default framebuffer is completely opaque
at the end of each frame. Needed at least when using Wayland.
`1`: do this, `0`: don't do it, `-1`: let dhewm3 decide (default)
- r_useCarmacksReverse - `r_useCarmacksReverse` Use Z-Fail ("Carmack's Reverse") when rendering shadows (default `1`)
- r_useStencilOpSeparate - `r_useStencilOpSeparate` Use glStencilOpSeparate() (if available) when rendering shadow (default `1`)
- s_alReverbGain - `s_alReverbGain` reduce strength of OpenAL (EAX-like) EFX reverb effects, `0.0` - `1.0` (default `0.5`)
