Navigate InfoSuite Introduction README The Basics Advanced FX References Game Secrets Hosted At | References - Console Commands Console Commands This is a list of the commands for use with the console in EDuke32/Mapster32. I give full credit to the EDukeWiki for this information, which seems to be the only place where this is documented. I have not had time to sort and organize this information as of yet, but I presume it will still be useful to those interested. The console can be accessed in either program with the ``` "grave accent" key (it also has a ~ "tilde" character on the same key and it is to the left of the number 1 on standard keyboards). This key is customizable in `eduke32.cfg` with the "`Show_Console`" key binding (or within the game itself), and in `mapster32.cfg` with the "`keyconsole`" value.
