emp_sv_netvisdist_building: How far buildings can see other players, vehicle and buildings. (Default = 10000)
emp_sv_netvisdist_vehicle: How far vehicles can see other players, vehicle and buildings. (Default = 10000)
emp_sv_netvisdist_commander: How far the commander can see other players, vehicle and buildings. (Default = 10000)
emp_sv_netvisdist_ratedistmax: No description. (Default = 10000)
emp_sv_netvisdist_ratedistmin: No description. (Default = 2000)
emp_sv_netvisdist_ratefacingmul: No description. (Default = 20)
emp_sv_netvisdist_ratefacingonly: No description. (Default = 0)
emp_sv_netvisdist_ratemax: No description. (Default = 0.5)
emp_sv_netvisdist_ratemin: No description. (Default = 0)

Cvars involving vehicles

emp_sv_vehicrate: Possibly an unused cvar that was meant to indicate how long it took to build a vehicle. (Default = 0)
emp_sv_vehicle_resource_interval: No description. (Default = 1)
emp_sv_vehicle_fadeout_time: Number of seconds until a destroyed vehicle model is removed. (Default = 20)

Cvars involving buildings

emp_sv_buildrate: Possibly an unused cvar that was meant to indicate how long it took to build a building. (Default = 0)
emp_sv_building_box: No description.
emp_sv_building_physics: No description.
emp_sv_building_none: No description.

Cvars involving resources

emp_sv_commander_resource_interval: No description. (Default = 0.3)

Clear Cvars

Cvars involving vehicles

emp_sv_max_vehicles: Number of vehicles each team can have at any given time. (Default = 32)
emp_sv_vehicle_selfdestruct_time: Number of seconds until an empty vehicle starts to self-destruct. (Default = 300)

Cvars involving buildings

emp_sv_max_buildings: Number of buildings (not counting walls or turrets) each team can have at any given time. (Default = 32)
