Over time, I've came across a lot of peculiar commands that a lot of people simply don't know. I know I didn't for a long time. I'm sure I would have if I wanted to search lists of every single console command that exists, like some around the internet including regulars of JKHub have tried to do (and even then, they haven't collected all of the console commands), but looking through lists of hundreds of commands you will never use is boring and tedious. Others, like TJA, have tried to make simplified lists too, but I do not feel it's inclusive enough and hits on all of the important commands, or for that matter, excludes all the unnecessary ones. So, this post will primarily serve to list some of the most common & useful tips for commands and binding.
Quicknote before I begin: Typing any command into the console without a specific value will inform you what the current value is, and what the default value is.
Server Hosts:
As an ex-host of a server, I can tell you it's hellish to find everything you need. Here's some of the key commands you're going to need.
g_gametype : This allows you to change the gametype of the server. (0 = FFA; 3 = Duel; 4 = Power Duel; 6 = TFFA; 7 = Siege; 8 = CTF)
g_spawninvulnerability : This allows you to set the amount of time that the green spawn bubble stays around you. This caps at 9999999.
g_gravity : For getting to those hard-to-reach places!
g_friendlyfire : Toggles whether or not you can injure teammates.
g_forceregentime (1-100): Determines how fast you can regenerate force.
g_forcepowerdisable : Disables weapons on a server based on their bit-value numbers added in total. Probably want 163839.
g_weapondisable : Disables weapons on a server based on their bit-value numbers added in total. It's a really complicated system. Probably want 524279.
g_duelweapondisable : Same, but specific to weapons in duel (disabling that annoying pistol). Probably want 524279.
Forcetoggle : Will show a list of force powers and allow you to toggle them individually, directly from within the server.
g_maxforcerank (1-7) : Determines amount of force points available for distribution.
DuelFragLimit : Sets the amount of kills a player has to get to win a single duel in duel mode. Note that the "fraglimit" command in duel affects points to victory overall.
Disable_item_shield_sm_instant
Disable_item_medpak_instant
Disable_item_shield_lrg_instant
Disable_item_enlighten_dark
: Setting these to "0" will enable them, "1" will disable them. Useful for setting up for TFFA matches.
Disable_item_enlighten_light
Disable_item_force_boon
Disable_item_medpak
Disable_item_medpac
Functional:
m_yaw : Changes your left-right mouse movement speed.
m_pitch : Changes your up-down mouse movement speed.
Sensitivity : Changes your overall mouse sensitivity, allows you to input specific numbers as opposed to the sensitivity bar.
cg_drawteamoverlay : This allows you to view the hp amount of your teammates while in TFFA mode.
cg_draw2d : Enable/disable the hud for videos or levelshots.
Toggle : This is used for binding keys for functions that only have two settings. Basically, any setting that switches between 0 and 1 (on or off). For example, "/bind <key> toggle cg_lagometer" will allow you to turn lagometer on/off at the push of a button.
cg_thirdpersonrange : Similar to cg_fov, and is generally cheat protected, depending on if you have a cvar unlocker or certain mods.
cg_lagometer : Turns on or off the lagometer feature, which shows you clientside and serverside lag.
cg_drawtimer : Adds a timer to the top of your screen to show how long the map has been up since last reset.
com_maxfps : Allows you to adjust the FPS cap.
cg_drawfps : Toggle (0 or 1) FPS counter in the top right.
r_swapinterval : Toggle (0 or 1) to disable/enable v_sync (you need this off for com_maxfps to have any effect!)
Tell : Used via console, will tell the person whose client number you specify (Ex. "/tell 6 hi" will tell the person with client number 6 hi).
Say_team : Works like Say. You use this if you want to bind a key to say something on command in team chat.
Messagemode : Default chat. Bind this to a key so that you can press that key to begin speaking in general chat.
Messagemode2 : Team chat.
Messagemode3 : Private chat.
Serverstatus : Works like rcon status, except it provides less information, and more importantly, the client numbers aren't always right.
Unbind : In case you have a bind you want to get rid of (/Unbind <key>).
Aesthetic:
char_color_blue "x"
char_color_green "x" x = any numerical value between 1 and 255
char_color_red "x"
: All of these allow you to choose colors and body parts of custom characters.
char_skin_legs "y"
char_skin_torso "y" y = any applicable body part
char_skin_head "y"
cg_dismember : Allows dismemberment to be viewed. Recommended you set it to 300 because I know that works, don't ask me why.
cg_drawcrosshair (1-8) : Allows you to change the look of your crosshair.
cg_crosshairsize : Lets you change its size.
cg_sabertrail : Lets you toggle on/off saber trail. Useful for aim improvement if you keep it off. (On ETJK clients, there are additional options, I personally recommend sabertrail 3 for the best blend of 0 and 1)
