Console Commands
Use these commands and variables in the console or a config file to completely customize Kingpin, troubleshoot problems with video or sound hardware, optimize performance, or make your own scripts. If you don't know how to get to the console, please read this.
Select the complete list (handy for searching for keywords using your browser, or for looking up a command or variable alphabetically), or any of the categorized lists from the links over to the left.
Variables are listed with their default values. Commands are listed without values, but some may have <required arguments> and/or [optional arguments], see the descriptions for valid arguments or values. If none are specified, it's a boolean variable, meaning it can be on (1) or off (0). Note that many video and sound changes will not take effect until you restart the video or sound system with vid_restart or snd_restart respectively.
| The flags on some variables have the following meanings: | |
| - | (dash) command-line parameters - these variables can only be changed by loading the game with 'kingpin.exe +set variable value', they will not work if entered directly into the console. |
| + | set variable value', they will not work if entered directly into the console. |
| * | saved variables - changes to these variables are saved between games by writing them to Kingpin/Main/config.cfg |
| S | server variables - will be listed in the output of a serverinfo command |
| U | user variables - will be listed in the output of a userinfo command |
| L | locked variables - changes will not take effect until the map changes |
