Important:

Looking for Source 2 support? Take a look at cvar-unhide-s2.

cvar-unhide

This Source Engine plugin reveals all console variables (convars/cvars) that are marked as hidden or development-only. The plugin can also set console variables to arbitrary values, bypassing any hard-coded minimum/maximum. Furthermore, console commands can be 'force dispatched' regardless of whether they are marked as hidden, cheat or development-only.

A list of all console variables/commands that are made available by this plugin can be found in cvarlist-csgo.md and cvarlist-portal2.md.

💡

You must add -insecure to CSGO's launch options for the game client to load plugins. The plugin will not load without this command-line argument set.

Supported games

• Counter-Strike: Global Offensive
• Portal 2

Installation

1. Download the latest release of the plugin. Choose the correct release for your game and OS:
   https://github.com/saul/cvar-unhide/releases/latest

2. Extract the contents of the ZIP to the game's mod folder.

   • 📂 $STEAM\steamapps\common\Counter-Strike Global Offensive\csgo for CSGO
   • 📂 $STEAM\steamapps\common\Portal 2\portal2 for Portal 2

   After extraction there should be an addons folder in the game folder, e.g. Portal 2\portal2\addons\...

3. Start the game from Steam.
   ⚠ CSGO must be launched with -insecure in the launch options. If you don't know how to do this, take a look this Steam Community guide.
