User:OrangeChris/Console Command List

I'm creating this page to try and create a full and comprehensive list of every console command and cvar in the game. A lot of this info is taken from the similar page on theValve Developer Wiki.

A

abuse_report_queue

cmd
Bound to F7 by default
- Capture data for abuse report and queue for submission. Use abose_report_submit[sic] to activate UI to submit the report
Typo, should refer to abuse_report_submit

abuse_report_submit

cmd
- Activate UI to submit queued report. Use abuse_report_queue to capture data for the report the report
Obsolete since the game will continually notify you if you have an abuse report ready to submit.

achievement_debug [0/1]

cvar 0/1
cheat
- Turn on achievement debug msgs
Function unknown. More testing required.

addip <minutes> <ban address>

cmd
Add an IP to the ban list Use 0 minutes for permanent

adsp_

I have absolutely no idea what any of these due. They appear in source games dating back to Day of Defeat, but I can't find any explanation to their purpose. All are cvars, and are simply posted with their default values. Might have something to do with mapmaking.

adsp_debug 0

This one creates several blue squares in maps with the label DSP NODE

ai_

These all are server-only commands. They're all copied from HL2, so I'm not sure how much affect these have on TF2 Bots.

air_density <density>

cvar, cheat
Changes the density of air for drag computations
Has no effect on players or ragdolls, but interestingly does affect dropped ammo/weapons. At ridiculously high values (100000+), weapons and ammo boxes will be suspended in the air.

alias <aliasname> <output>

Incredibly powerful tool. Works similarly to bind, but lets you attach console inputs to a command instead of a key.
Alias is the backbone of most advanced scripts

±alt1; ±alt2

Defunct

ammo_max <ammo>

cvar; def. 5000
Overrides weapon attributes and forces max reserve ammo to its value. Has no affect if weapon's ammo is already below ammo_max
