-	To set the value of a variable, execute it as a command with this syntax: '''<cvar name> <value>'''	+	There are three ways to set a variable through the console:
		+
		+	'''/<cvar name> <value>''' works only if the cvar already exists
		+
		+	'''/set <cvar name> <value>''' if the cvar does not exist
		+
		+	'''/seta <cvar name> <value>''' if you want to archive (remember) the cvar. Will not work for all cvars.

	Or start the game from the commandline with the parameter: '''+set <cvar name> <value>'''		Or start the game from the commandline with the parameter: '''+set <cvar name> <value>'''
