<div class="IPBDescription">What are they?</div> I came back after a while off and Ive forgotten those important cheat codes for testing. After trying to do a search of the forums with the awfully broken search function (returns all posts instead of those including the word "cheats"). I have come up empty so made this post.
Please, anyone who knows all the cheats for NS! or has a link please post. Especially want the instant build, res and weapon give commands.

Marine Map Testing Cheats

stopcommandermode - Drops out of command mode
bigdig - Buildings are built instantly when placed
hightech - Research happens almost instantly
orderself - Gives your commands to yourself so you can logout and see how they look on the HUD. There's no way to stop doing this after you've started.

Not sure all of them works though.
r_speeds 1 and gl_wireframe 2 are quite useful too <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

To use cheats, the console variable sv_cheats must be set to 1. If sv_cheats is 0, the console will respond with "unrecognized command", even though it IS a recognized command. When cheats are enabled the game will start when any team has one or more players and the game will never end.
Console commands listed here are NS specific. Additional Half-Life testing commands and cheats can be found elsewhere.
In-Game Tools
setculldistance # - used to find the minimum culling distance needed for commander mode.
setgamma # - sets the current env_gamma level, where x is a number from 1.0 to 2.0. This affects all players.
toggleeditps - displays particle editing interface
editps <name> - selects particle system to edit
listps - lists all particle systems in NS and in the map
buildminimap - generates a new minimap. Very CPU intensive. Saved in the ns/sprites/minimaps directory.
numents - lists the number of runtime entities on the map
entityinfo - lists runtime entity counts by type
Game Event Commands
startgame - starts game immediately (untested for a while)
endgame (#) - ends the current game (as a victory for team #, defaulting to team 1).
tooltip <name> - adds a tooltip named <name>. It will translate this tooltip from titles.txt if found.
givepoints - gives you some points
testevent - plays a "you just got points for killing the enemy" event
alert - generates a random alert.
deathmessage <weaponname> - sends test death message to all, e.g. "deathmessage machinegun", "deathmessage bitegun"
