When aliasing multiple commands, or commands that contain multiple words (such as "fraglimit 50"), you must enclose all the commands in quotation marks and separate each command with a semi-colon. Example of an alias that changes some Deathmatch server parameters: alias net_game "hostname my_server ; fraglimit 15 ; timelimit 15" bind INS net_game See also: bind ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ambient_fade Syntax: ambient_fade <n> Default: 100 How quickly ambient sounds fade in/out. Higher values make the sound fade quicker. See also: ambient_level ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ambient_level Syntax: ambient_level <n> Default: 0.3 How loud ambient sounds are. This includes wind, water, and other ambient sounds. See also: ambient_fade ------------------------------------------------------------------------ begin Syntax: begin <?> This command reports "Not valid from console" when run. bgmbuffer Syntax: bgmbuffer <size> Default: 4096 Amount of memory allocated for the background music buffer, used when playing from a cd. See also: bgmvolume , cd ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bgmvolume Syntax: bgmvolume <vol> Default: 1.0 Volume of background cd music. See also: cd , bgmbuffer ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bind Syntax: bind <key> command Used to bind a set of commands to a key. From techinfo.txt: Where <key> is a valid key control and command is a valid quake command. Example: To bind the j key to the 'jump' command, you would type: bind j +jump and press enter. Non-printable keys such as 'page up' and buttons from the mouse/joystick are bound in the same manner as printable characters. A list of bindable keys can be found at the end of this file. Example: To bind the page up key to the 'jump' command, you would type: bind pageup +jump and press enter. To bind the right mouse button to the attack command, you would type: bind mouse2 +attack and press enter. The following keys can be bound: A-Z 0-9 *F1-F12 *TAB ENTER SPACE BACKSPACE UPARROW DOWNARROW LEFTARROW RIGHTARROW ALT CTRL SHIFT INS DEL PGDN PGUP HOME END PAUSE SEMICOLON MOUSE1 (mouse button 1) MOUSE2 (mouse button 2) MOUSE3 (mouse button 3) *~ (tilde) * Can only be bound on the command line or in a .cfg file. The ESC key cannot be bound. To bind multiple command enclose the entire command in quotes and separate the commands with semicolons. bind q "impulse 7; +attack; wait; -attack; impulse 5" When using actions commands in a bind (ie +attack or +left) the first plus action will automatically have a minus added when the key is released. To prevent this start the command with a semicolon. bind q ";+mlook" (This will keep mlook on until a -mlook is executed.) See also: alias , unbind , unbindall ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bf Syntax: bf Background flash, used when you pick up an item. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ _cl_color Syntax: _cl_color <value> Default: 0 Set the player's color. The value is SC*16+PC where SC is shirt color and PC is pants color. See also: color ------------------------------------------------------------------------ _cl_name Syntax: _cl_name <string> Default: Player Sets the player's name. Works the same as the name command. See also: name ------------------------------------------------------------------------ _config_com_baud Syntax: _config_com_baud <value> Default: 57600 Sets the default baud rate for the modem. See also: com1/com2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ _config_com_irq Syntax: _config_com_irq <value> Default: 4 Sets the default irq for the modem. See also: com1/com2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ _config_com_modem Syntax: _config_com_modem <0/1> Default: 0 This is a really weird option. If set to one then com1 gets the values that the _config_x commands sets. It doesn't work for com2 though. I think in general it's better just to use the com1 and com2 commands. See also: com1/com2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ _config_com_port Syntax: _config_com_port <value> Default: 1016 Sets the default port for the modem. Use 0x to enter the number in hex. See also: com1/com2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ _config_modem_clear Syntax: _config_modem_clear <string> Default: ATZ Sets the default modem reset command. See also: com1/com2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ _config_modem_dialtype Syntax: _config_modem_dialtype <P/T> Default: T Sets the default dailing mode to Touch Tone (T) or Pulse (P). See also: com1/com2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ _config_modem_hangup Syntax: _config_modem_hangup <string> Default: AT H Sets the default hangup string for the modem. See also: com1/com2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ _config_modem_init Syntax: _config_modem_init <string> Default: (none) Sets the default modem init string. See also: com1/com2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cd Syntax: cd command Used to control the cd player. From techinfo.txt: cd on Re-enables the CD audio system after a "cd off" command. cd off Shuts down the CD audio system. No more music will be played unless it is re-enabled. cd reset Causes the CD audio to re-initialize. This is useful if you change CDs or insert the CD after you've already run Quake. cd play <track number> Plays the specified track one time. cd loop <track number> Plays the specified track. It will be repeated until either it is manually stopped or another track is started. cd stop Stops the currently playing track. cd resume Will resume playback of a stopped track. cd eject This is for CD players that do not have a manual eject button. cd remap <track1> <track2> <track3> ... Allows you to switch what tracks are played. This is especially useful if you want to play music other than that on the Quake CD. If the CD audio system is told to play track 1, it will instead play the 1st track you specified. For example: assuming a CD with 1 data track and 8 music tracks, the command "cd remap 1 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2" would leave the data alone and play the audio tracks as if they had been placed on the CD in the opposite order. cd info Reports information such as the number and types of tracks on the current CD, what track (if any) is currently playing, and the playback volume. See also: bgmvolume , bgmbuffer ------------------------------------------------------------------------ centerview Syntax: centerview Moves player's view back to straight ahead after a +lookup or +lookdown action. See also: v_centerspeed ------------------------------------------------------------------------ changelevel Syntax: changelevel <map> Switch game play to selected level. See also: map ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cl_anglespeedkey Syntax: cl_anglespeedkey <speed> Default: 1.5 Sets multiplier for how fast you turn when running. See also: cl_yawspeed ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cl_backspeed Syntax: cl_backspeed <speed> Default: 400 Sets backward movement rate. See also: sv_maxspeed , cl_movespeedkey ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cl_bob Syntax: cl_bob <value> Default: 0.02 Sets how much your weapon moves up and down when walking. See also: cl_bobcycle , cl_bobup ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cl_bobcycle Syntax: cl_bobcycle <value> Default: 0.6 Sets how quickly your weapon moves up and down when walking. See also: cl_bob , cl_bobup ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cl_bobup Syntax: cl_bobup <value> Default: 0.5 Sets how long your weapon stays up before cycling when walking See also: cl_bob , cl_bobcycle ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cl_forwardspeed Syntax: cl_forwardspeed <speed> Default: 200 Sets forward movement rate. See also: sv_maxspeed , cl_movespeedkey ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cl_movespeedkey Syntax: cl_movespeedkey <speed> Default: 2.0 Set multiplier for how fast you move when running. See also: cl_backspeed , cl_forwardspeed , sv_maxspeed ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cl_nolerp Syntax: cl_nolerp <?> Default: 0 Don't know what is does. cl_pitchspeed Syntax: cl_pitchspeed <value> Default: 150 Sets how fast you lookup and lookdown. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cl_rollangle Syntax: cl_rollangle <value> Default: 2.0 Sets how much your screen tilts when strafing. See also: cl_rollspeed ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cl_rollspeed Syntax: cl_rollspeed <speed> Default: 200 Sets how quickly you straighten out after strafing.

Example output: 98 98 120 120 98 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cl_sidespeed Syntax: cl_sidespeed <speed> Default: 350 Sets how quickly you strafe. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cl_upspeed Syntax: cl_upspeed <speed> Default: 200 Effects how quickly you moveup and movedown in liquids. Kind of strange that upspeed also effects your downspeed? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cl_yawspeed Syntax: cl_yawspeed <speed> Default: 140 Sets how quickly you turn left or right. See also: cl_anglespeedkey ------------------------------------------------------------------------ clear Syntax: clear Clears the console screen. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cmd Syntax: cmd <?> Don't know what it does. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ color Syntax: color <shirt> <pants> Sets the player's colors. If just the shirt color is used the pants color will be the same. See also: _cl_color ------------------------------------------------------------------------ com1/com2 Syntax: com1 command com2 command Control the com ports on your computer. From techinfo.txt: enable | disable "enable" means that your configuration is complete and you want to use the COM port. "disable" is used to turn off a COM port, usually to change its settings. The default (initial) state is disabled. modem | direct Use one of these two to let Quake know if you are using a modem or a direct connection (also called a null modem.) Quake uses this to know if it needs to handles modem initialization strings, dialing sequences, and hangup procedures. reset This will reset the COM port to its default settings and state. port <n> irq <n> These are used to set the I/O Port and IRQ that your serial port uses. The default values are: port=3f8 irq=4 for COM1 and port=2f8 irq=3 for COM2. Note that the port number is displayed in hexadecimal; to enter it you would use something like "COM2 port 0x2f8"; the "0x" preceding the "2f8" indicates that you are giving the value in hexadecimal otherwise decimal is assumed. baud <n> Sets the baud rate. Valid values for <n> are: 9600, 14400, 28800, 57600, and 115200. 57600 is the default. Please note that this is the baud rate used for the uart, not your modem. It is perfectly valid to use 57600 on a COM port that is connected to a 28.8 modem. 8250 | 16550 Specifies the type of uart chip in your system. Normally this is automatically detected, one of these need only be used if your chip is incorrectly detected. clear startup shutdown This allows you to specify the clear, startup, and shutdown strings needed for a modem for playing Quake. If you've found values that previously worked with Doom, use them here. If you are playing over a null modem cable, leave these blank. -cts | +cts -dsr | +dsr -cd | +cd These determine if certain serial control lines should be honored or ignored. The "-" means you want that line ignored, the "+" means to honor it. "cts" is an abbreviation for "clear to send", "dsr" for "data set ready", and "cd" for "carrier detect". Do not change these values unless you are absolutely positive you need to. The default is to ignore all 3 lines. Quake always uses no parity, 8 data bits, and 1 stop bit; these values can not be changed. The baud, port, irq, and uart type can not be changed on an enabled port, you must disable it first. Configuration examples ---------------------- Example1: You have a machine with two serial ports you are going to use as a Quake server. COM1 will be using a null modem cable and COM2 will be connected to a 14.4 modem. You would use commands similar (the startup string would almost certainly be different) to these: COM1 baud 57600 enable COM2 baud 14400 modem startup AT\N0%C0B8 enable Example2: You are going to use your machine to connect to a dial-up Quake server with your 28.8 modem connected to COM2. You would use a command something like this: COM2 baud 57600 modem startup AT\N0%C0B8 enable Note the baud rate is not the same as the modem speed. This allows the modem-to-uart communications to occur at a higher rate than the modem-to-modem communications.

See also: d_mipscale , d_subdiv16 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ d_mipscale Syntax: d_mipscale <0/1> Default: 1 Toggle fading detail (1=blur distant objects. uses lots of ram if set to 0) See also: d_mipcap , d_subdiv16 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ d_subdiv16 Syntax: d_subdiv16 <0/1> Default: 1 Toggle extreme perspective correction. From techinfo.txt: For maximum speed, perspective correction is performed only every 16 pixels. This is normally fine, but it is possible to see texture ripples in surfaces that are viewed at sharp angles. For more precise texture mapping, set the console variable d_subdiv16 to 0. Doing this will result in somewhat slower performance, however, and the difference in visual quality will not normally be noticeable.

See also: menu_video ------------------------------------------------------------------------ _vid_wait_override Syntax: _vid_wait_override <0/1> Default: 0 From techinfo.txt: can be used to force wait for vertical sync in all modes. When _vid_wait_override is set to 0, the type of waiting, if any, for each video mode that's set thereafter is automatically set to that appears to be the fastest safe state. However, it is possible in some cases that automatic setting may result in some screen glitching, and it is also true that shear can be eliminated by waiting for vertical sync (although at a cost in performance), so it may be desirable in some cases to override the automatic wait selection and always wait for vertical sync. This can be done by setting _vid_wait_override to 1. Once set, this remains in effect through all succeeding mode sets, even when Quake is exited and re-entered; the only way to keep Quake from waiting for vertical sync once _vid_wait_override is set to 1 is to set _vid_wait_override to 0. Note that changing _vid_wait_override doesn't affect the current mode, but rather takes effect on the next mode set. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ v_centermove Syntax: v_centermove <?> Default: 0.15 Don't know what it does. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ v_centerspeed Syntax: v_centerspeed <value> Default: 500 Sets how quickly you return to a center view after a lookup or lookdown.

From techinfo.txt: If a given VESA mode can support page flipping, then it defaults to page- flipped operation. A VESA mode can be forced to non-page-flipped operation by setting the vid_nopageflip console variable to 1, then setting the mode (note that vid_nopageflip takes operation on the next, not the current, mode set, and note that it then stays in effect permanently, even when Quake is exited and restarted, unless it is manually set back to 0.) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ vid_nummodes Syntax: vid_nummodes Reports the total number of videomodes available.
