minibanana

PowerMustache

is there a way to enable console?

minibanana

I don't see anything in the bind menu but by pressing "~" it opens it up for me

Zek

Judging from the LUA, these are all of them:

connect
map
exit
quit
thirdperson

Malivil

r_stats

Shows stuff like FPS

puzl

r_shadows false|true

Col.NathanRJessup

anyone know how to reverse mouse? driving me nuts! arggh!

fsfod

clear clears the console
disconnect

also "connect" has no retry delay when sending connection packets it will saturate you upload bandwidth if it gets no reply

Ouch, FPS dips into the low 20s quite often.

Yet to be optimised etc but I'd struggle to beleive the min sys req of about a year ago still holds true.

w0dk4

Here are some more:

dev
cheats
noclient
profile
which
mod
option

w0dk4

more (these ones I tried and are working):

r_wireframe
physics
r_mode [lit|normals|albedo|specular|gloss|emissive|depth|none]
<b>net_stats</b> <- good one

BJHBnade_spammer

is there one for spawning stuff?

thread needs to be sticked commands are usefull stuff

asmodee

Are you guys just guessing at these commands?

I'd like some finer control of graphics settings. Those system specs listed on the NS2 site are absolute bs. 1.2GHz cpu and 256MB of ram? Maybe for the video card specs. I have 2GB of ram, Q6600 (2.4GHz) and a 7600GT (256MB). I can get 70 - 95fps in TF2 pretty consistently, 200 - 300 fps in source mods, and 5-10 fps in NS2 engine test (somtimes I spike to 15, and once today I saw 17)...

Knights-

Thankyou, needed this thread..

I have a fairly beastly computer and I was even getting mid to high 20's for FPS in certain spots. I did have it on high but I've been able to run just about every modern game decently. Hopefully we'll see more optimization as time goes on.

Same here, lowest was even 17 fps at one spot in the second map with the long always and everything while shooting a dummy. Highest point was about 50fps but end up moving around near 40.

The engine is not optimized yet, so we should not be worried. Looking at a 20k Tris scene with 30 fps will prove that, compared to, for example, Crysis where you'll have a scene of a million Tris running at 40 fps with the same hardware.

What they really do need is a LOD shadows, similar to the one in battlefield bad company 2 which is really good in my opinion.

Keep in mind the lack of pre-compiling comes at the price of somewhat lower fps.

They're not stupid, they wouldn't have done it if it was inevitably going to lead to FPS tanking to 10-20 during gameplay.

I just need to inverse the mouse.

noclip and ghost don't work :(
I need a command for flying through walls to test my map.

Anyone found in the files where the bind for opening console is ? I'm pretty sure it's not in the LUA, but I want to change it because it doesn't work on my (French) keyboard T_T

I'm still downloading the test so I haven't verified this:

If it is not working, go into your install folder/ns2 and open inputs.txt. Change it to something else like F5.

U just need to press the top left key (which is "²" in my case) it should work...

Console won't come up either for my Gaming rig PC. I'm using an old off the wall brand keyboard, PS2, that I love to play with. It still doesn't work when I hook up a USB keyboard though.

I tried editing the options.xml to bind to "`" instead of "Grave", as is the default, but still no dice. Plus the Options.xml will reset itself when there are abnormal values present, like changing the console bind or odd resolutions, and you don't change it's properties to read only. I've changed the console command to other keys and still nada.

I can't open console either, and I don't see an "inputs.txt"

Kester

To get inverted mouse, find the player.lua file and find the following:

<!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1-->local angles = Angles(input.pitch, input.yaw, 0.0)<!--c2--></div><!--ec2-->

Change it to:

<!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1-->local angles = Angles(-1 * input.pitch, input.yaw, 0.0)<!--c2--></div><!--ec2-->

meh`

Anyone find a fix for the console not working? I really want to get in on the deathmatch action :(

puzl

The input.txt mechanism was from an earlier version of the engine test and doesn't work anymore.

Instead go to

%APPDATA%\Natural Selection 2\

and edit the file options.xml

You'll find a line
<!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1-->    <ToggleConsole>Grave</ToggleConsole><!--c2--></div><!--ec2-->

You can change this to something more useful, e.g.
<!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1-->    <ToggleConsole>F12</ToggleConsole><!--c2--></div><!--ec2-->
