UT Console

This page describes all of the Console Commands specific to Unreal Tournament.

General

MENUCMD <menu> <menuitem>

Perform an UnrealTournament menu command. For example, menucmd 1 0 brings up the Unreal Tournament server browser.

PING

Shows your current ping value.

VIEWPLAYERNUM <player number>

Makes a selected player number the view target.

PROFILE

Sends AI information to the log.

PLAYERLIST

Lists the current players.

SHOWSPECIALMENU <classname>

Takes the name of a class that extends "menu". Not really used.

Botmatch/Cheats

IAMTHEONE

Enables cheats if they are not already.

LOADED

Gives all weapons except redeemer. Also works in UT2003.

VERBOSE

Shows what bots in viewclass are thinking. This command also works in UT2003.

These only work on the local machine

CANCEL

Cancels an OPEN command in progress that is trying to connect to a network server.

CDTRACK <num>

Play the specified CD track.

CPUSPEED=<speed>

Identify your CPU speed, useful for machines which don't autodetect their speed properly. For example, CPUSPEED=266.

DEMOPLAY <filename> [?noframecap] [?timebased] [?3rdperson]

Play a recorded demo. Example: demoplay mydemo?3rdperson?timebased

• ?noframecap plays the demo back as fast as possible. This option is assumed if timedemo 1 is enabled.
• ?timebased gives a smoother playback if the playback machine is significantly slower than the recording machine.
• ?3rdperson lets you fly around a first person demo as a spectator. It also allows veiwing the demo from any bot's/player's perspective in the demo.

DEMOREC <filename>

Record a demo to <filename>.

GETRES

Get a list of available resolutions.

MUSICORDER <num>

Change to a certain track in the song (0: ambient, 1: action, 2: suspense).

s_occfactor

A3D 2.0 occlusion factor

s_maxnodedist

A3D 2.0 maximum node distance

s_reflect <0 or 1>

A3D 2.0 reflections

s_occlude <0 or 1>

A3D 2.0 occlusions

s_wavetracing <0 or 1>

A3D 2.0 wavetracing

s_refgain

A3D 2.0 reflection gain

s_refdelay

A3D 2.0 reflection delay

s_maxpoly

A3D 2.0 maximum number of polygons

s_maxreflectpoly

A3D 2.0 maximum number of reflection polygons

s_polysmall

A3D 2.0 smallest polygon size

s_polylarge

A3D 2.0 large polygon size

s_a3dsources

A3D 2.0 Sources

STOPDEMO

Stop recording or playing back a demo.

SHOT

Take a screenshot.

Also see the [LOD Tech Notes] for mesh LOD console commands.

Statistics

For the rest of the statistics commands see Console Commands/Stats Console Commands

STAT ACTOR

Shows various statistics.

Debugging

Additional debugging commands that are not covered in Console Commands/Admin Console Commands or Console Commands/Cheat Console Commands.

CAUSEEVENT <eventname>

Triggers all actors with the given event.

DEBUG CRASH

Test crashing the game by appError.

DEBUG EATMEM

Test allocating memory until it fills up.

DEBUG GPF

Test a general protection fault.

DEBUG RECURSE

Test crash by infinite recursion.

DUMPCACHE

Display the contents of the memory cache GCache.

DUMPNATIVES

Display a list of unused native function ids.

EDITACTOR CLASS=<classname>

During game play, edits the properties of the nearest actor belonging to that class. Cool for debugging.

EDITACTOR NAME=<objectname>

During game play, edits the properties of the object with a given name (Such as TSkaarj1). Cool for debugging.

MARK

Mark all objects that are in memory (for garbage collection debugging in conjunction with MARKCHECK).

MARKCHECK

Display a list of all unmarked objects that are in memory (for garbage collection debugging in conjunction with MARK).

MEM

List memory usage; only works when Unreal is compiled with the memory-tracking option (it's usually not).

SOCKETS

In network play, shows a list of network sockets (UNetConnection's) in use.

URL <urlname>

In network play, parses a URL and displays its components.

INJECT USERFLAG 1

When connected to a server displays statistics once per tick.

  i=20 cli=3 act=4.3 (640) net=2.3 pv/c=80 re p/c=0 rp c/c=0 

i=Server tickrate, Cli= Number of Clients, act= Time spent on processing Actors (ms), (640) number of actors, net= Time spent on network processing (ms). Assuming a tickrate of 20, if act + net = 50 the server is running at 100% CPU utilization ( 1000ms / 20 = 50 ). If cli is greater than the number of players in the game the server most likely suffers from the win2k creeping ping bug. Note: INJECT USERFLAG 0 turns off output.
