Console

This article is outdated, and covers information in 1.09.4. The current version is 2.0.4, and this page does not reflect that. Please help the Wiki by correcting or removing any misinformation, as well as adding any new information to the page.

SRB2's console allows the user to control many of the game's options and to perform certain actions. Sometimes the same effects can be achieved using the menus, but the console is the only way of utilizing many features.

The console is accessed by pressing the key defined in the controls, which by default is ~ (tilde) on US keyboards and ` (backquote) on UK keyboards. This displays a prompt at which the user is expected to enter a command. To close the console, press the same key that was used to open it.

Some console commands and variables have options for the second player in splitscreen mode. Those will be shown with a forward slash. For instance, with "CHASECAM/CHASECAM2 <booleans>", CHASECAM toggles the first player's camera, and CHASECAM2 toggles the second player's camera.

Pressing the tab key when a command or var name is partly entered will auto-complete the command, pressing the tab key again will go to the next one.

Syntax

SRB2's console can be hard to figure out for new users, so here is a small guide on how to use it.

Special Characters

Semicolon (;)

This character will separate commands. For example, COLOR PURPLE; SKIN KNUCKLES will set your color to purple, then change your skin to Knuckles.

Quote (")

When a single string parameter contains a space, it must be enclosed in double quotes; hence BIND 1 "SAY HI" will work, but BIND 1 SAY HI will not.

Single string parameters containing certain characters must also be enclosed in double quotes if other characters are to be typed after them.

Here is a list of those characters (characters separated by spaces): { } ( ) ' :

An example of a case where this would be necessary is if one wanted to in the console connect to a server using a specific (non-default) port. Using CONNECT "192.168.1.5:5028" would work, but CONNECT 192.168.1.5:5028 would not work.

Script files

Main article: Script

A script file is a file that can be used to input things into the console without having to type them every time. You can make one by creating a new text file and inputting commands in it. Commands always be written in lowercase (except for button names like KEY93), and they can be separated either by lines or by semicolons.

Example of tunebinds.txt:

bind 1 "tunes 45"
bind 2 "tunes 29"
bind 3 "tunes 93"
bind 4 "tunes 102"

To use a script file, just type EXEC <script filename> in the console. For the above example, typing EXEC TUNEBINDS.TXT would work.

autoexec.cfg

Main article: Script > autoexec.cfg

autoexec.cfg is a special type of script file that will allow you to run a series of commands on startup. It goes in the same directory as where config.cfg exists, but it is not there by default: you have to create it (use Notepad). This can allow for a default name, color, and skin for netgames, as well as other things such as BINDs and ALIASes.

adedserv.cfg

adedserv.cfg is a script file ran when starting a dedicated server. Like autoexec.cfg, it runs commands such as BIND and ALIAS.

Commands

ADDFILE <filename>

Adds a WAD, SOC or other file to the game. The file's name must have its extension. For instance: ADDFILE TEST.WAD; ADDFILE JUMP.SOC. After this command is input, the game immediately gets modified. Note that a WAD with a space in its file name can either be added with quotes, like ADDFILE "TEST SPACE.WAD", or be entered using DOS naming format.

ALIAS

Creates an alias to execute multiple console commands. For instance, ALIAS SONIC "SKIN SONIC; COLOR BLUE" would make the console command SONIC turn you into a blue Sonic. Useful for scripting, as well as making autoexec.cfg files.

BAN <playername/node>

Kicks and bans a player. Once a player is banned, they can no longer join the server unless CLEARBANS is used. (Server or Game Admin only)

BIND <key> <command>

Makes a keystroke perform a console command. For instance, BIND \ SCREENSHOT would take a screenshot every time you press the \ key on the keyboard.

CECHO <message>

Displays <message> in the center of the screen. Backslashes indicate line breaks.

CECHODURATION <number>

Changes the length of a CECHO.

CECHOFLAGS <integer>

Sets optional values for CECHO. Add the values together.

Option	Value	Description
V_NOSCALESTART	65536	Do not scale the text's starting position, i.e., the top-left corner of the text. This will cause it to be placed as if the resolution was the default of 320x200, while still retaining text size for the resolution currently being used, assuming V_NOSCALEPATCH is not being used. This causes the text to be in the top-left in higher resolutions. Generally not reccomended for use because it'll look different for different people.
V_ALLOWLOWERCASE	262144	Allow lowercase letters.
V_NOSCALEPATCH	524288	Do not scale the text's size. This will cause it to be sized as if the resolution was the default of 320x200, while still retaining the text's starting position for the resolution currently being used, assuming V_NOSCALESTART is not being used. This causes the text to be smaller in higher resolutions. Generally not reccomended for use because it'll look different for different people.
V_YELLOWMAP	1048576	Text is colored yellow.
V_SNAPTOTOP	2097152	Text begins at the top of the screen.
V_TRANSLUCENT	4194304	Text is slightly translucent.
V_SNAPTOBOTTOM	8388608	Text ends at the bottom of the screen.
V_WORDWRAP	33554432	Text is word wrapped.
V_8020TRANS	67108864	Text is very translucent.
V_GREENMAP	134217728	Text is colored green.
V_TOPLEFT	268435456	Text begins at the top-left corner.
V_RETURN8	536870912	Makes line breaks have no distance between them vertically.
V_SNAPTOLEFT	1073741824	Each line of text starts at the left edge of the screen.
V_SNAPTORIGHT	2147483648	Each line of text ends at the right edge of the screen.

CHANGECONFIG <filename>

Saves the current config and loads another.

CLEARBANS

Clears all bans. Users that were banned will be able to join again.

CLEARSCORES

Resets each player's score to 0. This even works in single-player games.

CLS

Clears the console buffer.

CONNECT <ip>

Connects to the specified IP address. If no IP is specified, it will search on the LAN for a game. Note that to connect on a specific port, one must use this format: CONNECT "<ip>:<port>".

COUNTMOBJS

Counts all of the mobjs in a level.

CSAY <message>

Sends a message to everyone within a netgame in CECHO format. Only the host or server administrators can use this command.

DEVMODE

GAMETYPE

Shows the current game type as one of the following numbers:

Number	Game type
0	Single Player / Co-op
1	Match / Team Match
2	Race / Classic Race
3	Tag / Hide & Seek
4	Capture the Flag

GETPLAYERNUM

Lists all of the players in the game, their number in the array, and their node numbers.

GOD

Enables/disables Sissy Mode, which makes the player pretty much totally invincible to everything, even bottomless pits and crushers. Activates the cheat protection. Enemies that try to hurt the player will instead go right through the player. Disabled in Multiplayer.

GRAVFLIP

Flips the direction in which gravity pulls the player towards. DEVMODE must be enabled to use this.

HELP <command>

If used without an argument, will list all commands. If provided with the name of a command, more detailed help for that command will be provided, if available.

HURTME <value>

Hurts the player by a given amount. DEVMODE must be enabled to use this.

ISGAMEMODIFIED

Returns TRUE if the game is modified or if cheats been activated.

JUMPTOAXIS <axis number>

Teleports NiGHTS Super Sonic to the specified Axis. DEVMODE must be enabled. Note that improperly using this command can cause SIGSEGVs.

KICK <playername/node>

Kicks a player out of a netgame. (Server or Game Admin only)

LISTSERV

Retrieves and displays a list of hosted games from the Master Server.

LISTWAD

Displays a list of WADs attached to the game. WADs listed with an * are the game's default WADs.

LOADCONFIG <filename>

Loads a new config without saving.

LOGIN <password>

Attempts to login as a netgame administrator. The password is set by the host.

MAP MAP<value>

Changes the level. For instance, to warp to Greenflower Zone Act 1, type MAP MAP01. To know which map number a level is, get a WAD editor, look in MAINCFG, find the map name, and look at its corresponding level number. If the level number (xx) is 99 or less, the map is MAPxx. If the level is greater than 100, consult the List of Extended Map Numbers.

Alternatively, for official SRB2 maps, consult the list of levels.

The MAP command takes two (or three, if DEVMODE is enabled) optional parameters:

-GAMETYPE <game mode name or number>

Specifies the game mode to use with the new map, e.g., MAP MAP01 -GAMETYPE TAG. Also you can type game mode number instead of game mode name, e.g., MAP MAP01 -GAMETYPE 3.

-FORCE

Forces the game to warp to the map, even if it does not support the current gametype, e.g. MAP MAP01 -FORCE when not in Single-player or Co-op mode. To keep from having to enter -FORCE all the time, use SKIPMAPCHECK.

MEMFREE

Displays memory usage statistics.

MOTD <message>

Sets a 'Message of the day' that is displayed in a player's chat text when they join your server. Backslashes (\) indicate line breaks. Note that due to a current glitch, sometimes trying to change the message after setting one will instead cause the new messages to pile up at the end of the previous ones. (Server or Game Admin only)

NOCLIP

Increases gravity and turns off clipping. This allows the player to go through the thok barrier as well as immediately move on top of raised ground no matter how high the sector is. Also, Things cannot be collected. Activates the cheat protection. This is disabled in Multiplayer.

NODES

Lists all of the players in the game and their player numbers.

NUMTHINKERS <number>

Counts the number of thinkers, based off of the value inputted. Useful for development and code testing.

ORDERPIZZA

A command that simply prints a line of text to the console saying "<name> has ordered a pizza." However, it will not work unless you give it an address, a topping, and a size. Usage:
ORDERPIZZA -SIZE <anything you want> -ADDRESS <anything you want> -TOPPING <anything you want>

Note: Keying ORDERPIZZA 1 2 3 4 5 or ORDERPIZZA 1 2 3 4 5 6 in the console will have the same effect because none of the parameters mean anything. Only the number of parameters is checked.

PAUSE

Pauses the game. Reuse it to unpause. (It also works if you press the Pause/Break button on your keyboard)

PING

Sends a command that tells you the PING of all players, in both tics and milliseconds. Can only be used by the host or server (not game admins).

PLAYDEMO <filename>

SAYTEAM <message>

Sends a message to your team. Only works if the gametype is Team Match, Tag, Hide & Seek, or CTF.

SAYTO <playername/node> <message>

Sends a message to a specific player. If the player has parentheses in his/her name, the player name must be enclosed in quotes.

SCALE <percent>

Scales the player to a percentage of their original size. DEVMODE must be enabled to use this.

SERVERCHANGETEAM <playername> <red/blue/spectator/playing.>

Changes the current team any player is on. Can also be used to force a player to spectate, or to bring them into the game from spectating. (Server or Game Admin Only)

SCREENSHOT

Takes a screenshot of the display. Note that if you don't bind this, it will show the console in the screenshot. Alternatively, press the F8 key.

SETCONTROL/SETCONTROL2

Manually changes the controls of 1P and 2P. See config.cfg for an example.

TOGGLE <command>

Allows you to toggle certain console commands on and off. TOGGLE COLOR allows you to cycle through colors. TOGGLE SKIN currently doesn't work.

TUNES <slot> <speed>

Changes the song that's playing and its speed (optional). Speed is given by positive and real number (i.e.: 0.5, 0.22, 1.3). Also displays the current tune if no slot value is given.

VERIFY <playername/node>

Gives a player administrative privileges in a netgame. Only one person may be verified at a time.

VERSION

Tells you the version of SRB2 you are using.

VID_MODE <mode number>

VID_MODEINFO <mode number>

Gives out information about the specified mode. If used without a mode number, gives out information about the current resolution.

VID_MODELIST

Lists all available resolutions and their corresponding mode numbers.

VID_NUMMODES

Shows the number of available resolutions.

WAIT <tics>

Waits a certain number of game tics before executing the next command. Useful for scripting.

WRITETHINGS

Use this after using OBJECTPLACE mode to place new objects. This will save the objects to NEWTHINGS.lmp in your SRB2 folder. Then, using XWE or a similar lump editor, you may rename NEWTHINGS.lmp to THINGS.lmp, and replace the existing THINGS lump for the level whose objects you have modified. Remember, you can't edit srb2.srb, so to create new things for an official level, you'll have to copy the map and its nodes to a new WAD, then replace the THINGS lump.

Variables

Variables are unlike commands in that instead of directly performing the action, you change the variable, which in turn would make a difference in the game. The command starts the line, then a value follows to set it. A value can either be boolean, an integer, a decimal number, or something completely different, depending on what the command calls for. Note that some of these commands have equivalents in the game's "Options" menu.

A boolean variable is one which can either be on or off. For instance, CHASECAM ON turns on the camera, and CHASECAM OFF turns it off. You can also use 1 instead of ON, and 0 instead of OFF. Some boolean variables still use YES and NO, so try that if it doesn't work.

An integer is a number with nothing after the decimal point.

A decimal number is a number that may or may not have something after the decimal point. It should be noted that the GRAVITY variable is the only one that uses this.

Console variables marked like this CONSVAR/CONSVAR2 are used for split-screen, e.g., CAM_DIST/CAM2_DIST. CAM_DIST is for the camera distance of player 1. CAM2_DIST is for the camera distance of player 2.

1UP <availability>

Sets the availability of Extra Life Monitors in a game. Cheats must be enabled in order to change this. (Server or Game Admin only)

ADVANCEMAP <integer>

Sets whether or not to advance to the next map in the cycle when a round finishes in any mode except Co-op or Single Player. 0 = Off (repeats the same map), 1 = Next Map in Cycle, 2 = Random Map. Can also be set under Network Options. (Server or Game Admin only)

ALLCAPS <boolean>

Make all letters in the console uppercase.

ALLOWAUTOAIM <boolean>

Allows players to use autoaim. (Server or Game Admin only)

ALLOWEXITLEVEL <boolean>

Allows players to exit the level. (Server or Game Admin only)

ALLOWJOIN <boolean>

Allows other players to join a netgame. Can only be used by the host or server (not game admins).

ALLOWMLOOK <boolean>

Allow players to mouselook in a netgame. (Server or Game Admin only)

ALLOWTEAMCHANGE <boolean>

Allows players to change teams in Team Match and Capture the Flag. (Server or Game Admin only)

ALWAYSMLOOK/ALWAYSMLOOK2 <boolean>

If enabled, forces mouselook to be enabled without pressing the associated key.

ANALOG/ANALOG2 <boolean>

Allows you to turn Analog Control on or off. Disabled in netgames. USERANALOG/USERANALOG2 should be used instead, as this variable is modified by the game on certain occasions.

BLAMECFAIL <boolean>

Setting to 1 allows the host to see who's being inconsistent in a netgame. Can only be used by the host or server (not game admins).

BOMBSHIELD <availability>

Sets the availability of Armageddon Shields in a game. Cheats must be enabled in order to change this. (Server or Game Admin only)

CAM_DIST/CAM2_DIST <integer>

Changes the distance of the camera. You cannot use a negative value to zoom in. Default is 128 for normal mode; 320 when playing as NiGHTS Super Sonic.

CAM_HEIGHT/CAM2_HEIGHT <integer>

Changes the height of the camera.

CAM_ROTATE/CAM2_ROTATE <integer>

Changes the angle of the camera's rotation.

CAM_ROTSPEED/CAM2_ROTSPEED <integer>

Changes the rotation speed of the camera.

CAM_SPEED/CAM2_SPEED <integer>

Changes the speed of the camera.

CAM_STILL/CAM2_STILL <boolean>

Forces the camera angle to freeze in place.

CHANGETEAM/CHANGETEAM2 <red/blue/spectator/playing>

CHARABILITY <1/2> <value>

Changes the character ability of your player. You must have DEVMODE enabled to use this command.

CHASECAM/CHASECAM2 <boolean>

Turns the camera on and off. If off, the first-person view is used.

Sets the display time in the console.

CON_SPEED <integer>

Changes the rate that the console moves at when being opened or closed.

CONSFAILPROTECT <limit>

Restores players' positions on the consfailer's end instead of kicking them. 0 (zero) disables consistency failure protection and the game will immediately kick any player who is inconsistent. Any other value enables consfail protection; however, due to a coding oversight, the value has no effect whatsoever. Can only be used by the host or server (not game admins).

Warning: If CONSFAILPROTECT is not turned back up from 0 after using it, there's a high possiblity that anyone who attempts to join your server will be kicked immediately from inconsistency. Remember to use BLAMECFAIL to find who is lagging.

COUNTDOWNTIME <integer>
