On SLASHPLAY

On SLASHPLAY the console accepts values from 0.05 to 10; outside that the server would stop answering or stall.

What it does

0.5 is half speed. Handy for studying grenade throws.

The game's own description: Prescale the clock by this amount.

Good to know

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/cfg/server.cfg. New to this? Start a CS:S server first.
