Difference between revisions of "Legacy:UnrealEd 2 Console"

Revision as of 11:36, 4 August 2009

UnrealED 2.0 has a command line box at the bottom of the screen (for the latest version of UEd, see UnrealEd Console). Many of these commands are equivalent to mouse, menu or buttons of the GUI interface, but there are some which are not. Please also see UT Console for other console commands which might apply. The commands below correspond exactly to the #exec commands.

I've made a start removing emphasis from commands which have interface equivalents.

Notes

The commands can be entered either upper case or lower case. The list of previously used commands (in the current session) are saved in a drop down list, that can be conveniently re-selected (Click >> Enter), so commonly used commands can be quickly re-activated. Be sure that the correct object is selected before entering command. Also, tool bar buttons can be user created for any of the commands listed here. Many of these commands are seldom used, but can be handy when making large scale systemic alterations to a level (numerous repeat operations).

Commands can be bound to custom toolbar buttons or keys. See binding editor commands. See also UnrealEd interface.

Look for lines in Editor.log that start with "Cmd:" to find out about more possibly interesing console commands.

Actor commands

ACTOR ADD CLASS=<CLASS> 

add actor of class <class> (eg: CLASS=ASMD). Same as

ACTOR ALIGN 

aligns the vertices of the selected brushes to the grid. Useful for brushes who do not automatically align such as cylinders or spheres

ACTOR APPLYTRANSFORM 

applies the transform permanently to selected brushes. (what's the difference between this and BRUSH APPLYTRANSFORM?)

ACTOR CLIP Z 

In wireframe view it culls brushes that are after a certain distance. The distance being determined by where the Active brush is when it's pressed. Press again to disable. Useful for complex maps.

ACTOR DELETE 

Deletes any and all currently selected actors.

ACTOR DUPLICATE 

duplicates currently selected actor

ACTOR HIDE SELECTED 

hides the currently selected actors / brushes

ACTOR HIDE UNSELECTED 

hides any actors / brushes that are not currently selected

ACTOR KEYFRAME NUM=# 

set the current actor to key frame number # (presumably only has an effect on movers?)

ACTOR MIRROR X 

mirrors the selected actor about the X axis

ACTOR MIRROR Y 

mirrors the selected actor about the Y axis

ACTOR MIRROR Z 

mirrors the selected actor about the Z axis

ACTOR REPLACE BRUSH 

replace selected brush with the builder brush (ie. If you select an added brush and issue this command it will be replaced with another added brush that is the shape of the current builder brush, same for all other brush types) (THIS DOESNT SEEM TO WORK)

ACTOR REPLACE CLASS=<CLASS> 

replace selected actor with actor of class type <class> (eg: CLASS=ASMD). Doesn't work on brushes and movers. See Brush Hacking for this.

ACTOR RESET ALL 

resets the Location, Pivot, Rotation and Scale of the selection. See Actor Context Menu.

ACTOR RESET LOCATION 

resets the selected brush's Location See Actor Context Menu.

ACTOR RESET PIVOT 

resets the selected brush's Pivot. See Actor Context Menu.

ACTOR RESET ROTATION 

resets the selected brush's Rotation. See Actor Context Menu.

ACTOR RESET SCALE 

resets the selected brush's Scale. See Actor Context Menu.

ACTOR UNHIDE ALL 

shows all actors / brushes that may have been hidden. See Toolbox.

Actor selection commands below...

Brush Commands

BRUSH ADD 

creates an additive brush

BRUSH ADDMOVER 

creates a mover brush from red builder brush

BRUSH APPLYTRANSFORM 

Transform the selected brush permanently. Reduces stack of previous brush operations to one configuration. (Equivalent to transform permanently.)

BRUSH FROM INTERSECTION 

creates new brush from the intersection operation

BRUSH MORE 

 ???

BRUSH SET 

 ???

BRUSHCLIP DELETE 

deletes the verticies used to perform brush clipping operation

BRUSHCLIP FLIP 

flips selection arrow denoting what side of brush to clip

BRUSHCLIP SPLIT 

splits the selected brush along the clipping plane

MAP BRUSH GET 

copy selected brush to red builder brush.

MAP BRUSH PUT 

move selected brush to builder brush location and take on shape of builder brush. (how does this compare to ACTOR REPLACE BRUSH?)

MAP SENDTO FIRST 

send selected brush to the beginning of the bulding process

MAP SENDTO LAST 

send selected brush to the end of the building process

PIVOT HERE 

places a pivot a the previously selected grid point

PIVOT SNAPPED

Search through all texture packages optionally searching for matches against the "TextureNameMatchingPrefix" for all textures found, apply DetailTextureName as the new detail texture. If a detail texture already exists and OVERRIDE=FALSE, then skip the texture

TEXTURE CLEAR 

 ??? Flashman: I think you'll find this has the same effect as the clear button on the texture properties box, basically it removes all dynamic texture sources from it, i.e. drips, fire etc..

TEXTURE CLEARDETAIL 

Clear the current detail texture.

TEXTURE CULL 

Remove Textures references on all non-visible surfaces. See Texture Cull.

TEXTURE REPLACEDETAIL

Object Commands

OBJ SAVEPACKAGE PACKAGE=<packagename> FILE=<packagefile> WARN=? 

saves a given package to a specified file.

loads a given package from a specified file. See Embedding Code.

OBJ EXPORT PACKAGE=? TYPE=<exporter> NAME="objectname" FILE="filepath" 

exports an object, TYPE=OBJECT exports to T3D

OBJ RENAME OLDPACKAGE= OLDGROUP= OLDNAME= NEWPACKAGE= NEWGROUP= NEWNAME= 

rename/move object

Other Stuff – Please categorize.

NEW STANDALONE <classname> PACKAGE= FILE= CONTEXTCLASS= CONTEXT= NAME= 

 ?

NEW PUBLIC <classname> PACKAGE= FILE= CONTEXTCLASS= CONTEXT= NAME= 

 ?

NEW PRIVATE <classname> PACKAGE= FILE= CONTEXTCLASS= CONTEXT= NAME= 

 ?

NEW <factoryclass> PACKAGE=<packagename> Name=<newobjectname> [Factory-specific parameters follow] 

Used to build objects using a Factory (Editor.ClassFactoryNew, Editor.ClassFactoryUC, Editor.LevelFactory, Editor.LevelFactoryNew, Editor.ModelFactory, Editor.MusicFactory, Editor.PolysFactory, Editor.SoundFactory, Core.TextBufferFactory, Editor.TextureFactory, Editor.FontFactory, Editor.TrueTypeFontFactory, Editor.TextureFactoryNew). This is how the editor imports objects.

Examples:

   new ClassFactoryUC Package=MyLevel Name=XXX File=XXX.uc

I don't know if it actually compiles the thing.

The following might be other properties:

• ContextClass
• Context
• Package
• Name
• File

AUDIO IMPORT FILE=<filename> NAME=<name_of_sound_object> GROUP=<packagegroup> 

Imports an audio file into the package of the context in which this command is executed.

In fact, all import commands seem to rely on subclasses of "Factory".

HOOK ACTORPROPERTIES 

I think it does actor properties.

LSTAT 

LightMap stats.

MACRO ??? 

Another name for EXEC? Involves a TextBufferFactory.

TEXTURE IMPORT ALPHATRICK=? NEXT=? MTEX=? DETAIL=? TexFlags=? LODSet=? Mips=?

MODE VERTEXEDIT

MODE SELECTIONLOCK=...

MODE MAPEXT=...

MODE AFFECTREGION=...

CAMERA OPEN XR=x YR=y MISC1=? MISC2=? REN=? HWND=?

Mychaeel: Why are some of the commands put in italics?

Tarquin: I was making a start on marking the ones which are available as menus/toolbox buttons etc, as opposed to the ones which are unique here

Mychaeel: Hmmm... I think it'd be better if those commands' explanations simply included directions how to use them via a menu command.

who can say me how to turn off light coronas, cos i've see nothing while lamps in front of me. fanx in advance

Tarquin: probably under Advanced Options in UT

Dark Pulse: That's correct. You can also use a different renderer; I know the Software Renderer has them turned off by default. However, the Software Renderer really, really bites, so just stick with what he said. ;)

Sudsyman73: i couldn't find it on the polycount page or here, but what is the command for olde UEd2.0 that shows the polycount? it's showed in the log right? or maybe it's the same as the UEd3.0 command? i don't know... i'll go check that one

SabbathCat: The command is "Stat FPS", at least, in Ued 2.0 it is.

BlackHawk: The "NEW <factoryclass>..." seems to be a really powerful command. Only problem is that the exact syntax for the different factories cannot be found anywhere. Can anyone elaborate on this plz?
