Level 1 is least strict (e.g. it will play most sounds like footsteps). Level 5 is most strict. Keep in mind that levels above 1 will reduce game quality for regular players due to missing sounds and other effects.

some functions to improve scripting in callvote, rotation or crontab

1. Quake Live physics,

02. Cylindric hitboxes,

03. A new anti-cheat system to catch most of the annoying aim bots and auto-shoot hacks,
