Since I was really board, I started hunting for console commands. Heres what I've found so far: Echo: echos a command to the console Status: displays status abuout the game in progress Killserver: kills the server and ends the game Quit: exits quake God: god mode Notarget: toggles notarget mode Fly: fly mode, use d for up, c for down Map: load a map Restart: restarts the map Progrestart: restarts the map Name: sets your name Noclip: no clipping mode Version: the exe files date Say: let's you talk Color: sets players color Kill: restarts the lever Pause: pauses the game Spawn: ????????? Hostname: sets the hosts name Decimate_sfx: used to reduces cached sounds sampling rates Decimate_sfx_speed: sets the decimation sampling rate Decimate_sfx_width: sets the decimation bit width 8/16 Bf: flashes the background Bind: sets a key to an action Alias: substitutes one command for another Connect: connects to a server Disconnect: disconnects from the server Echo: echos a command to the console Status: displays status abuout the game in progress Killserver: kills the server and ends the game Quit: exits quake God: god mode Notarget: toggles notarget mode Fly: fly mode, use d for up, c for down Map: load a map Restart: restarts the map Progrestart: restarts the map Name: sets your name Noclip: no clipping mode Version: the exe files date Say: let's you talk Color: sets players color Kill: restarts the lever Pause: pauses the game Spawn: ?????????

Exec: runs a configuration script file Fov: ??????????? Fraglimit: sets the fraglimit of the game Timelimit: sets the timelimit of the game Teamplay: selects teamplay Pausable: selects weather the game is pausable Gamma: sets the gamma level Grabnextsnd: ??????????? Implusex: gets a weapon Lookspring: adjust the lookspring speed? Edictcound: displays some debugging info? Cmd: ????????? Clear: clears the console Messagemode: asks you to say something Mouse3: Mouse button 3 action Mouse2: Mouse button 2 action Mouse1: Mouse button 1 action Numchannels: number of sound channels Pointfile: Crashes badly Profile: dispalays profileing information Quit: exit R_cshift: ??????????? Record: records a demo Rmsr: Crashes Sizedown: shrinks the screen Slist: lists the servers Snd_timing: ???????? Nosound: stops the sound code Sfx_asynch: can disable sounds? Soundinfo: tells some info about the sounds StopSound: ?????????? Sound: some sort of sound control Play: plays a sound at 100% volume Sv_nostep: ????????? Sv_stopspeed: sets how fast you can stop Sv_gravity: sets the gravity Sv_maxvelocity: sets your maximum velocity? Sv_friction: sets the friction Sv_maxspeed: set the maximum running speed Sys_nostdout: ?????????? Sys_ticrate: ??????????? Host_speeds: display the hosts speed Host_linerefresh: ?????????? Host_framerate: sets the speed from 0-0.01 Timerefresh: spins around and gives you the framerate Toggleconsole: turns the console display off Yes: accepts the license aggrement Net_stats: displays network stats Playvol: plays a sound at a specified volume Soundlist: lists all the cached sounds Savesnd: caches a sound and saves it in raw format Sbinfo: displays info about the soundblaster Screenshot: takes a picture Sensitivity: sets the mouse sensitivity Sizeup: enlarges the screen Vid_mode: sets a video mode Vid_wait: sets the video waiting mode Vid_testmode: selects a video mode for 5 seconds Vid_nummodes: reports the number of video modes Vid_describecurrentmode: discribes the current video mode Vid_describemode: discribes a videomode Vid_describemodes: discribe all videomodes Scr_conspeed: changes the scroll speed R_speeds: display the drawing speed R_drawflat: change to flat polygon mode R_clearcolor: sets the deadspace color Cl_forwardspeed: sets the forward speed Cl_backspeed: sets the backwards speed Cl_sidespeed: sets the sidewards speed Net_messagetimeout: sets the timeout value Net_speeds: toggles displaying network diagnostics Com1: selects com1 Com2: selects com2 Enable: turns on the com port Disable: turns off the com port Dial: selects client mode Answer: selects answer the phone/server mode Reset: resets the com port Port : sets the com ports port address to n Irq : sets the com ports interrupt to n Baud : sets the baud rate to n 8250: selects the 8250 uart 16550: selects the 16550 uart startup: sets the modem startup string shutdown: sets the modem shutdown string <-/+>cts: sets "clear to send" <-/+>dsr: sets "data set ready" <-/+>cd: sets "carrier detect" R_aliasstats: toggles a debugging display R_cshift: ?????????????? R_dspeeds: toggles a debugging display R_edgecount: toggles a debugging display R_fullbright: toggles lighting effects R_graphheight: ????????? R_showpolys: toggles edge lines R_timegraph: toggles a bargraph on the screen R_wave: toggles the wavy underwater mode Comments: Some of these commands are taken from the text files, so I haven't tested them all. If anyone finds any more, please post them. It's would also be nice if people could post usefull things about these commands, like: setting r_fullbright to 1, turns off the shadowing, which speeds up the game a little bit. -- -- "No dictator, No invader, can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms, forever.
