This is the complete list of console commands, console variables, and command line parameters for Quake 2. All console commands and variables are identified, documented, tagged, and classified. This document has been designed to help out all those people who want to customize the game to their liking.
I decided to write this document because a lot of people were curious about all of those console commands. Now this document has become the ultimate reference to console commands with each command and variable having an explanation. I hope that this document will benefit a lot of people in the use of the Quake 2 console.
If you have any questions regarding console commands or console variables please do not contact me because I don't have the time to answer them. If you want to find out more about what a certain console command does or what it could be used for the go ahead and experiment with that console command on your own until you can answer your own questions. I don't have the time nor the patience to answer any technical support questions. If you have a problem then please don't ask me how to fix it because I won't help you. Basically, if you have a problem with something then solve the problem on your own and do the necessary work to answer your own questions do not send me any emails because I will not read them.
If you are reading this document and you find any errors, please contact me and tell me exactly where you found the error. I appreciate any corrections sent in because I want to make this document as accurate as possible. Any person who sends me corrections about console commands or variables will be acknowledged.
Below there are explanations to all of the different fields which are used to describe each command. It is good to know what the information in each field contains and refers to. The fields that I have used to describe each command and variable are a way of standardizing information among each command and to make sure that all of the information is given in an orderly fashion.
I have also taken upon myself to classify all of those console commands and console variables. These classifications are in no way related to how the game feels about the various types of commands and variables. The game only distinguishes between commands and variables. The names of each class are only meant to identify the different type of a command or variable, and give some insight into it's syntax and what type of parameters it accepts. Basically if a user knows that a given variable is classified as a toggle, he won't try to use negative numbers or fractions as input, or if a command is classified as an operation he will know not to use any parameters. These classifications are just here to help you with the syntax recognition and to remove unnecessary syntax fields.
base1.bsp.0 and 1. This is an important field because it identifies all settings for that toggle variable.+action part of the command is executed and terminates that action when the -action part of the command is executed. When an action command is bound to a key, the +action is executed when the key is pressed, and the -action is executed when the key is released. The default syntax for an action is '+command' or '-command'. The syntax field is skipped for all action commands.command (parameter)'. The syntax field is present for all function commands since each one has it's own unique syntax.command'. The syntax field is skipped for all operation commands.variable (value)'. Allowable values for a bitmap variable include integers only.quake2.exe +set variable (value)'.variable (value)'. Allowable values for a register variable include integers, fractions, and negative values.variable "(text)"'. Allowable values for a string variable include all numbers and all text characters.0 and 1.
Sometimes there are alternative settings for a toggle, in which case
subsequent numbers are used such as 2, 3, 4, and so on. The default
syntax is 'variable (value)'. Allowable values for a toggle variable include integers only in increments of 1.Type: Action

before sending them to the server. The function on this command is to
allow the client to perform actions which require information from the
server. This command is basically an interface between the client and
the server, where the client asks the server if it can perform an
action, and the server performs the action or rejects the request. This
command is automatically used by the client internally, so it is never
necessary to call this command unless performing some type of debugging.

Description: Toggle the locking of the current PVS table.
Note: If this toggle is enabled the game will lock the PVS
table in the memory for the current location that the player is in and
it will not let it be updated by the player's movement. The PVS table
determines what parts of the map can be seen by the player and if they
should be rendered. This variable is used by map makers to lock the PVS
from a certain location and then move around to see what parts the game
will render from that location and then determine where hint brushes
should be placed to limit the rendering. It is helpful to enable the gl_clear command to avoid the hall of mirrors effect on the unrendered parts of the level.

Type: Function
Syntax:
rcon (password) (command)
rcon (command)
Description: Remotely control a server.
Note: This command is used to control a server from a client.
This is very useful if the server is running at a remote location, and
the server administrator does not have physical access to the server.
There are two different syntax versions to this command. If the
variable rcon_password is set the second syntax may be used
since the password field will be filled automatically by the client.
Also, be aware that it is possible to send commands to a server to which
the client is not connected. This is accomplished with the setting of
the rcon_address variable to the server's IP address.
Using the command, a server administrator is able to control a server as
if at the server's console.
Example:
rcon foo "map base1"
rcon "map base1"
Type: String
Default: (none)

Example: save mygame
Type: Function
Syntax: say (message)
Description: Send a message to all the players on the server.
Note: This command is not necessary when typing directly on the console since the player can just type a message and send it like it was a command. This command is mostly useful when creating aliases which broadcast frequently used messages or player taunts.
Example:
say I am the master Foo!
say Thanks man!
say Good bye everybody...
say Hello all, The Foo Master has arrived to kick butt!
Type: Function
Syntax: say_team (message)
Description: Send a message to all the players on the server who are on your team.

format to save allow the saving of high-color video mode information.
This command is most useful when saving score information at the end of a
match, or when taking screen shots of weird things in the game.
Type: Register
Default: 3
Description: The mouse sensitivity.
Type: Operation
Description: Report server information.
Note: This command will look for all the variables marked with the S
(server) flag and report those variables and their settings. It is
quite possible to create your own server variables using the set
command and make them show up with this command and display them to all
those server browser programs such as QView and GameSpy. It is
advisable to create server variables with the names admin to report the name of the administrator, email to report the email address of the admin, location to tell the physical location of the server, and site to report the address of the web site associated with this server.
Type: Function
Syntax: serverrecord (demoname)
Description: Record a demo from the server with views of all players.
Note: The demo that is going to be recorded with contain the data so that the view from each player's perspective is saved. This allows the server to record a one demo for all the players. A server recorded demo cannot be played back by Quake 2 without undergoing editing to separate out all of the different views.
Example: serverrecord foodemo
Type: Operation
Description: Stop the recording of a server demo.
Type: Function
Syntax:set (variable) (value) (flag)
Description: Set or create a variable.
Note: This command is used mostly to create new variables or
change the state flags for current variables. If a variable already
exists it is not necessary to use the set command to change the value of that variable, it is just possible to use the simple syntax "variable (value)".
It is also very helpful to server administrators which want to setup
dedicated variables to hold information about the server such as the
email of the administrator, the location of the server, or the
message-of-the-day. Another thing, variables which have no value will
not show up when the commands serverinfo or userinfo are executed.
Flags:
s - Server flag. If this flag is set the variable and it's value will show up when the command serverinfo is executed.
u - User flag. If this flag is set the variable and it's value will show up when the command userinfo is executed.
Example:
set foo "The Master Foo"
set foospeed 800
set admin MasterFoo s
set email masterfoo@foo.org s
set clan "Clan Foo Masters" u
Type: Function
Description: Set external environment variables from inside the game.
Note: This command can be used to pass settings from inside the game to the operating system with the use of environment variables. This command is the most useful for passing variables directly to the video driver libraries. Typing the command and the environment variable without being followed by a value will display the assigned value.
Example:
setenv fx_glide_shameless_plug 1 ; vid_restart
setenv fx_glide_shameless_plug
Type: Function
Syntax: setmaster (IP address 1) (IP address 2) ... (IP address 7)
Description: Link the server to a master.
Note: It is possible to link a single server to as many as 7
masters. By linking the server to a master the master will add the
server to a general list of all servers. Masters are then queried by
server browser programs such as GameSpy to retrieve a list of game
servers. The server will also send a heartbeat to the master once in a
while to inform the master that the server is still alive and to prevent
the master from removing the server from the list. Currently this
command when executed without a master IP tries to register itself with
the id Software Master at 192.246.40.37:27900.
Example:
setmaster 123.123.123.123
setmaster 123.123.123.123 123.123.123.124 123.123.123.125 123.123.123.126

files to load in total, they are the name of sky followed by the
position. The following positions exist for a sky, dn (down), up (up), ft (front), bk (back), lf (left), and rt
(right). The rotation parameter sets how fast the sky should turn in
degree-per-second. It is possible to specify a negative value to make
the sky rotate in the opposite direction. The last three parameters are
basically toggles with possible settings of 0 or 1 which specify on which axis should the sky turn. By default the sky spins on the z-axis.
