Console Commands (MP)?

[Kurgan]

Okay I don't know about the other keyboards out there, but on a QWERTY keyboard (like the US one I'm using) the tilde key is to the left of the "1/!" key right above home row keys (NOT the numpad).

It looks roughly like this:

ESC F1 F2 F3 F4 F5 F6 F7 F8 F9 F10 F11 F12

[`] ! @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) _ + Backspace
[~] 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 - = <-----

Tab Q W E R T Y U I O P [ ] |


See it now? You dont' need to hold shift for it in this game (like in JA/JK2).

Otherwise consult your control config and see if it was somehow changed (if you can change it, I don't remember).

You may have put it in bold, but it doesn't show; put in in red or something

But I have a finnish/scandinavian keyboard, which is quite different for it has own keys for Å, Ä and Ö. Consulting anyone for tilde would only result in "press Alt Gr+ the key next to Å". There has to be a way to get the console work by adding a command to the cfg.

All I can suggest is to contact LucasArts tech support.. and if you get an answer post it here, I'm sure others would like to know! It should be whatever trips the console in other Unreal engine games. So whatever works...

Here's one I found from trying out a few Unreal Tournament commands

~
SWITCHLEVEL <mapname>

We use it a lot to change/restart maps in the Bactaweek tournament http://www.eclipticalrealms.com/warg....asp?gameid=13 to make sure clan members have not gone on shopping trips for the heavy weapons.

This command was really important for us so I'm glad this one didn't go through the mincing machine.

[Joetheeskimo]

Doesn't the OPEN command do the same thing?

[BeBop]

Yes I'm pretty sure it does. And it's quicker to type.

[arramus]

The OPEN command will open a map but does not do the same thing as the SWITCHLEVEL command.

The OPEN command will only have an effect on the host. Type the OPEN command when you have other people in your map and watch everyone get kicked when the new map opens.

If you use the SWITCHLEVEL command then they'll all come with you to the next map.

Try it.

[Kurgan]

So nobody's found anything else useful? Like how to change gametypes through the console?

[Kurgan]

Guess not.. bummer.

Hi I'm new, and I was wondering if anyone knew how to spawn weapons?
I know how to shoot while holding flag, but not that. This is a really cool forum, and I'll be back again. Thanks for anything.

Even though I told you already, I'll say for all else to hear.

First thing you need to do is bind a key to "throwweapon". Open up the console and type "set input k throwweapon".

Then whenever you have a weapon just keep hitting your binded key repeatedly and quickly. Of course I'm not sure if this is the proper way. When I've tried it something always goes wrong, guns don't fire, you can't pick it up. But it does leave a nifty pile of artillery on the floor.

**DISCLAIMER** Try not to abuse weapon spawning. It can cause some serious damage to servers.

[Kurgan]

How do you fire while holding the flag? That's a new one to me.

And as to "weapon spawning" I don't think that would work, because a throw weapon is just that. You've lost your gun and put it on the ground.

Unless you're saying this is some kind of glitch with say, "0 respawn time servers" where your dropped weapon would become an ammo pickup somehow for others... but that would still have very limited value.

Anyway, it seems that there is a real drought of information about this game, so I'm all ears. Tell me everything you know...

Find an empty keyset.

I aplogize for this, since this post was from centuries ago, and it probably wastes your time in replying, but I am a HUGE n00b, and i don't know how to get to the friggin user.ini file you're talking about...anyone able to tell me?

Ain't that the truth

I guess they did it this way to save memory? But others can "see you" doing all kinds of animations.

Reminds me of UT. In that game you saw others doing back flips, but on their end they were just doing normal jumps. Heh...

There's one animation that is there, when you slide down that zip line from the gunship to the ground. That you do the same as your squadmates. It's hard to type in, "togglebehindview" before you've hit ground, so type that in, restart the level, go to the console, and press the up button then hit Enter or Return. And the reason that they can see your animations but you can't in Third Person is because when you push the button, a set of animations occur, depending on what's happening at that moment. Sorry for typing so much, I know a lot about this game.

Two things:
1: Weapon spawning is getting a weapon to appear right in front of you with a console code, correct? And it is considered, "noobing?"
2: I'm thinking that an empty LAN server would work well as a test, would it?
I would find out myself, but I borrowed the game from a friend of mine, so I can't play until I get it.
EDIT: I got the game back from my friend. I haven't messed around with "throwweapon" to the extent of crashing the server.
