Console

From SRB2 Wiki

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. 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.

CHANGECONFIG <filename>

Saves the current config and loads another.

CECHO <message>

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

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>".

DEVMODE

Toggles development mode on/off.

DISPLAYPLAYER

Shows the number of the current player being displayed.

ECHO <message>

Echoes whatever you type in the console. Useful for scripting.

EXEC <filename>

Executes a script file.

EXITGAME

Exits the current game.

EXITLEVEL

Exits the current level.

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 / Time-only Race
3	Tag
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. A countdown will still begin if you're underwater, but you don't die when it ends. Disabled in Multiplayer.

GR_STATS

Shows OpenGL statistics.

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.

ISGAMEMODIFIED

Returns TRUE if the game is modified or if the cheat protection has been activated.

JUMPTOAXIS <axis number>

Teleports NiGHTS Super Sonic to the specified Axis. DEVMODE must be enabled. Note that 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 used in a netgame.

LOAD <slot>

Loads a saved game.

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 three (or four, if DEVMODE is enabled) optional parameters:

-GAMETYPE

Specifies the game mode to use with the new map, e.g., MAP MAP01 -GAMETYPE TAG.

-SKILL

Specifies the difficulty level of the game, 1 = easy; 2 = normal; 3 = hard; 4 = very hard; 5 = ultimate, e.g., MAP MAP01 -SKILL 1.

-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.

-NORESETPLAYERS

Makes the game warp to the map without resetting player data like lives, score, etc.; as if the player had advanced to the map normally. This only works if DEVMODE is enabled.

MEMFREE

Displays memory usage statistics.

MOTD <message>

Sets a 'Message of the day' that is displayed in the center of the screen of the player when he joins a server. The 'Message of the day' is displayed like in CECHO command. Backslashes indicate line breaks. (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.

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)

PLAYDEMO <filename>

Plays back a recorded demo.

PLAYINTRO

Plays the opening intro. Due to a bug with this command, the music that was playing when you use this command will momentarily keep playing.

PING

Sends a command that tells you a user's PING. This command does not work properly in v1.09.4.

QUIT

Exits the game immediately, skipping all menus and displays.

RESETCAMERA

Does the exact same thing as if you had pressed the "reset camera" key.

RESETEMERALDS

Sets your emerald count back to 0.

RTELEPORT -x <X distance> -y <Y distance> -z <Z distance>

SAVE <slot> <description>

Saves your game.

SAVECONFIG <filename>

Saves the current configuration.

SAY <message>

Sends a message to everyone.

SAYTEAM <message>

Sends a message to your team. Only works if the gametype is Team Match 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.

SCREENSHOT

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

SETCONTROL/SETCONTROL2

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

SHOWMAP

Shows what map you're currently on.

STARTMOVIE

Tells the game to take a screenshot every frame, making there be 35 screenshots every second.

STOPDEMO

Stops the currently running demo.

STOPMOVIE

Tells the game to stop the function of STARTMOVIE. Tells the filename of the last screenshot as well.

TELEPORT -x <X location> -y <Y location> -z <Z location>

Teleports you directly to the coordinates you specified. DEVMODE must be enabled.

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.

TIMEDEMO

Plays back a demo at the highest possible speed. Useful for benchmarking.

TUNES <slot>

Changes the song that's playing until the level ends, changes, or your character dies.

VERIFY <playername/node>

Gives a player administrative privileges in a netgame.

VERSION

Tells you the version of SRB2 you are using.

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.
