Enemy Territory Console Commands and Cvars

by DG

(last updated 28/5/05. versions: ET 2.60, ETPro 3.2.0)

About

There are many, many different commands and settings used in the game Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory. This document attempts to provide a breif description of each. Due to the extremely widespread use of the modification ETPro being such, the commands and cvars provided in that mod are also discribed here.

Due to the large number of commands and cvars - 1236 give or take - the description given is very breif, and there is no promises of 100% accuracy.

The MOD column shows wether the item is from the vanilla game "ETMain" or the popular modification "ETPro". ETPro commands/cvars only exist when ETPro mod is running, but ETMain commands/cvars also exist in ETPro - allthough a few have altered functionality.

The MODE column: this is a general category applied on the basis of assumed usage. Server commands therefore are generally used when configuring a server, but most will also work with clients using RCON. Many client commands/cvars will 'work' on servers, but are assumed to have little, if any relevance. Client = player. BOTH suggests commands which have major usage for both clients and servers.

Basics & Syntax

Commands

Typically commands are simply placed into the console or assigned to a keybind by themselves, for example /autoscreenshot to issue via console, or using a key set with bind x "autoscreenshot" in a configuration.

Commands with a + or - will almost certainly be only used normally for a keybind, for exmaple bind x "+attack". +/- commands are intended to be toggled on and off by pressing and releasing a key or button. -commands arent commonly used outside of complex scripts.

Cvars

Cvars are variables and are used by giving them a value, which is usually numerical. A cvar's value is usually changed either
- via the console: /cg_drawFPS 1
- via a configuration (.cfg) file: set cg_drawFPS "1"
- or sometimes via a keybind: bind x "set cg_drawfps 1"

As a general rule (with exceptions), 0 turns a cvar setting off while 1 enables it, although sometimes it may be -1 which disables, and sometimes there are many more possible values than just 0 and 1.

A bitflag variable is where there are several options for the cvar, which are usually assigned to 1,2,4,8,16 and so on. If you want to enable several of the options, you would add their values together. For example:

g_disableComplaints is a bitflag variable for disabling complaints for specified types of teamkills: 1=mines, 2=airstrike/ffe, 4=mortar. If you wanted to disable complaints on your server for teamkills due to mines or mortar, you would set g_disableComplaints to 5. If you didn't want to allow complaints for any of these types of TK, you would set it to 7.

A string variable is similar but takes in multiple values in a "string" of variables. For example:

b_defaultskills "2 0 0 0 3 0 0".
With one string variable, this has set seven different things to a specific value.

"Toggle", "cycle" and "+vstr" are a bit special, and are useful for keybinds and scripting. Examples:
bind x "toggle cg_drawfps" - the toggle command will alternately give the specified cvar a value of 0 and 1.
bind x "cycle cg_drawcrosshair 0 10 1" - the first press of our key sets cg_crosshair to 0. The second press increments by 1, and so on until it reaches 10. Thus cycle is very useful for cycling through a range of incremental settings for a specified cvar, within specified minimum and maximum values. bind key "cycle cvar min max increment". If you set the min and max and leave out the third number, it will default to an increment of 1.
+vstr is used to gain the functionality of a +command for commands or cvars which are not +commands. For example: with bind x +vstr "commandA commandB", pressing x would issue commandA, and upon release of the key commandB would be issued.

The Console

To open the console, press whatever key you have bound to "toggleConsole". This will usually be the key under ESCape, which changes depending on keyboard layout but usually is the ` or ~ key.

When using the console, everything should be prepended with "/" for whatever reason. Otherwise it will send what you type in global chat - not good if you're setting passwords.

To navigate the console, there are a few useful keys, most notably:
PGUP & PGDN scrolls up and down the console (as does mousewheel), while
ALT+END goes right to the end of the console, and
ALT+consolekey opens console fullscreen
CTRL+consolekey opens console small (~3 lines)

The console has a basic "autocomplete" - start typing a command/cvar and press TAB. It will then list all the commands and cvars which start with what you have typed. Putting a cvar into the console with no setting in most cases results in the console returning what the current and "default" values are for that cvar.

There are also a couple of commands which can be useful,

/clear	clears out everything in the console
/condump "filename.txt"	dumps the more recent console entries into the specified file.
/cvarlist	lists (nearly) all cvars in the console
/cmdlist	lists (nearly) all commands in the console

Script/Configuration Files

A script or configuration file is simply a text document that contains cvars and commands, in order to configure ET with the preferred settings or load scripts which perform some game function. By convention, configuration and script files use the extension .cfg, but they are simply basic text documents and are created/opened with Notepad as such. One thing to be aware of however is Notepad may save the files as filename.cfg.txt, and similar can happen if you try to rename files to a .cfg extension and Windows is set to 'hide known file types' in folder options.

Cfg files are straightforward for ETMain. You can call the cfg file whatever you want, and load it with the command "exec filename.cfg" (the .cfg is optional, as ET will assume a .cfg extension). This would load filename.cfg found in the game folder ETMain, however if you wanted it to load a file which is in a subfolder of ETMain, you can do so by setting the logical path: "exec scripts\filename.cfg". If there is a file in the ETMain folder called autoexec.cfg, that file will automatically be executed when ET is loaded.

The same process applies for all modifications, the difference being that issuing the command "exec filename.cfg" will cause ET to seek the file in the mod's folder and if it is not found there, it will then look for it in the ETMain folder. The same applies for autoexec.cfg.

With ETPro, the same applies. However, it also has much more advanced functions:

autoexec_mapname.cfg is executed every time the map specified is loaded - "mapname" should be substituted with the exact name of the map's .bsp file, what you would use to load the map. If there is no such file in the ETPro folder, it will then try to execute autoexec_default.cfg. These files allow for settings which are map-specific, for example spawnpoint selection scripts.
autoexec_allies.cfg or autoexec_axis.cfg is executed when you change to the appropriate class. These are useful for example with class selection scripts.
.config files: ETPro added a new type of configuration file, one that is designed for server usage. These files are highly functionable, and initially seem complicated.

Prefixes

Thanks ReyalP.
b - bani for etpro cvars
cf - game stats
cg - client game (cgame.dll as opposed to engine). many are non-graphic
cl - client engine
com - common
g - server game settings (qagame as opposed to engine)
in - input settings
m - mouse
net - configs netcode
r - renderer
s - sound settings
sv - server engine (although this has been abused for gamecode stuff too)
ui - user interface and browser setting
vote - hmmm, hard one

Flags/Legend

You'll see the letters SURIALC against some of the cvars if you perform a /cvarlist. I'll adding them into the list at a later date, here is what they stand for:
S - Serverinfo: included in the 'serverinfo', sometimes the cvar seems only used for this, other times it's a key server setting. Serverinfo is transmitted from server to client upon connect, and also (I think) in the heartbeat to etmaster. sets can be used to force a cvar & value into serverinfo.
U - Userinfo: this info is transmitted by client to the server on connect, and if changed.
R - Read-only: you're not really meant to mess with this, usually set via some ingame function.
I - Initialising: can only be set on game init, basicically put these into the startup command line.
A - Archive: settings that are kept in the etconfig.cfg file by default? seta also force to archive, supposably.
L - Latched: setting takes affect on the next map.
C - Cheat-protected: only works with sv_cheats 0 or /devmap mapname
