It ensures all client files coincide with the servers. Setting it to 1 will disable clients from using custom skins, weapons, etc.

Another addition to this cvar is:

Code:

sv_pure 0|1|2

0 - turns sv_pure off
1 - turns sv_pure on and allows files to be passed that appear on a whitelist
2 - turns sv_pure on and forces the client to only use the files matched on the server (i.e no client side materials, models, resources can be used)

i run an pub office server, whats the plus/minus of these 2 cvars?

short explanation:

pure off: anyone can use any models/textures ie clear walls etc
pure 1: allows any files that listed in the whitelist file located in the hl2 folder, so if you want to allow custom sprays or models you would whitelist them and use pure 1. similar to pure off but you can at least disallow some things.
pure 2: only the files on the server (normally official steam files) are allowed, players using custom will either be forced to use the stock files or be kicked, not sure about the kicked part as i only used stock when i play.

long explanation:

i allow custom sprays an nothing else so i use sv_pure 2 and edit the whitelist to allow for only sprays, everything else has to come from valve. make sense?
