How to change stop speed in CS 1.6

Type sv_stopspeed 75 in the server console to set the speed below which players stop sharply. 75 is the default.

sv_stopspeed

Speed below which friction brings a player to a full stop faster.

sv_stopspeed <value>

Examples

sv_stopspeed 75

Counter-Strike default.

Arguments

valueRequired
Speed in units per second.

What it does

When a player slows below this speed, friction is applied as if they were moving at this speed, so they stop sharply instead of drifting. The Counter-Strike default is 75. It is part of what makes counter-strafing feel the way it does, so competitive servers leave it alone.

Good to know

  • Changes are announced to players in chat because the cvar has the server-notify flag.

Run it on your server

On a SLASHPLAY server, type it in the Console tab of the server page; the reply shows right under it. A value set there lasts until the server restarts. To keep it, add the line to cstrike/server.cfg. New to this? Start a CS 1.6 server first.
