Ingame Console Commands

[Blackbishop]

As this topic is not discussed because you can find them all easily, i feel that gathering the information here could be useful. These commands are widely known, but certainly there are users that don't know about their existence(especially for taskbar_hide + game_hideui() combo... because helps a lot at the time of taking screenshots ).

To open console press Ctrl+Shift+~, to close it you need to press the same combination of keys again. When you have the console open, the game won't stop unless you hit pause before entering to the console.

The allowed functions are the following:

ee_bigheadmode(1)           Big Head Mode, 1 for on, 0 for off
FOW_Toggle                  Toggles Fog of War on/off (still requires LoS for units)
FOW_RevealAll               Turns the Fog of War off properly
setsimrate(4)               Sets game speed (default is 8 )
taskbar_hide                Hides the taskbar
taskbar_show                Shows the taskbar
game_hideui()               Hides units icons, grenade timers, etc.
game_showui()               Shows units icons, grenade timers, etc.
restart                     Restarts the game
abortgame                   Quits the game
statgraph()                 Enables "statgraph_channel" codes
statgraph_channel("fps")    Displays the frames per second
Misc_SuperScreenshot()      Takes a screenshot without the taskbar, team colours or buttons visible, 
                            even without the taskbar_hide command being used.
com_maxfps(X)               Set frames per seconds to X. X must be a positive numerical value.
wb_orphan_nuke_texture      For using on WorldBuilder. Removes all the textures left behind by 
                            unselectable objects.

If you are using a non-english keyboard layout:

Use Ctrl+Shift+Ñ for spanish.
Use Strg+Umschalt+Ö or Strg+Umschalt+Ä for german.


Thanks to @Chancellor for sharing the game_hideui() parameter information and thanks to @Lethal Dosage from RelicNews Community for sharing his knowledge about this.

Cool. Thanks for this, blackbishop. So this will work the same on German keyboards layouts?

if your layout is like this:

try Ctrl+Shift+Ä or Ö . If you can check it we can add each language combination we can .

Alright. I'll play around with it. Thanks.

Although my layout is set to German, i am still using an English keyboard, because nobody seems to want to ship a German keyboard to Australia...

Just use a water-proof marker. I'm serious, it helps.

[pariah]

Aye, but it won't give me an extra key, will it?

[IJoe]

Aye, but it won't give me an extra key, will it?

Whoa! WHOAH!! 
IT actually HAS AN EXTRA-KEY!!!
Sorry not to notice it at first

Picture changed xD. Usually standard keyboards have 101 or 102 keys .

And even then, it's still not enough...

Sorry it took so long, but my ZX-81 locked up again.  It's 'Ö', anyway.

I noticed you edited your post. It's actually Strg+Umschalt+Ö. Can't speak for the Spanish language though...

Ok, i modified the keys. I can assure you i can speak for the others ... at least that's what i think xD.

May I add something for Worldbuilder?
Many mappers have problems with entities, that can't be removed because they are not selectable. This is how you solve your Problem:

- Open console as usual
- Point your cursor at the entity that is to be deleted
- Type "wb_orphan_nuke_entity" (without " "), then press enter.

Same is for textures that are left behind, for example the one that the German bunker leaves when it is deleted, just type this, again without " ":

- "wb_orphan_nuke_texture"

Have fun with it an I hope to make mappers life easier with this hint


Errm and pariah.. Why do you use a keyboard with German layout?
