`r_skyfog_default`

Same as r_skyfog, but is used to initialize the fog amount at the start of a map only. Once r_skyfog is changed, it overrides this value. This is a workaround for when mods do not reset r_skyfog at the start of a map, causing whatever value from the end of the previous map to be used instead, which may not be intended.

`cl_autodemo`

Enables automatic demo recording. When switched on, a demo file named current.dem is recorded at every level start. When the run is completed, the keepdemo command is recommended to be used, which renames current.dem according to cl_autodemo_format.
Its value is 0 by default.

`cl_autodemo_format`

Defines how the automatically recorded demo (current.dem) to be renamed when the keepdemo command is used.
The following placeholders are available:

#map#: name of the level, e.g. e1m1
#time#: finishing time as <minutes><seconds><milliseconds>

+set cl_independentphysics 0

`freefly_speed`

Set the speed the camera moves when in freefly mode. 800 by default.

`cl_bbox`

When set to 1 display bounding boxes for non-map entities. The bounding boxes are derived from information available to the client, therefore they work while playing a demo as well as when playing a live game. However, the bounding boxes have the following limitations:

If using non-id1 progs, bounding boxes may be missing or incorrect. This is unavoidable since bounding box information is not sent to the client or stored in the demo, and are defined in each mod’s QuakeC. It is therefore impossible, in general, for the client to know the bounding boxes.
Bounding box origins may be wrong by up to 0.125 game units owing to fixed precision in the coordinates sent to the client and stored in the demo.
Bounding boxes are not displayed when recording a demo.

Server

`sv_altnoclip`

Switches on alternative noclip movement where the player always moves towards the direction he’s looking at. 1 by default.

`sv_override_spawnparams`

Allows to enable or disable overriding the spawn parameters on every spawn of a player. The overriding values can be set using the command setspawnparam <paramnum> <value> [0]. This allows to set starting stats for when starting levels with the map or record commands, e.g. for singleplayer segmented runs.

`sv_noclipspeed`

Dedicated max speed value used only while noclip. Its value is 320 by default.

Network

`net_connectsearch`

Allows to enable or disable the search for hosts on use of the connect command. It allows connecting by the server’s hostname instead of by IP address. However, the search takes a significant amount of time. So disabling it can greatly speedup the time it takes to connect to a server by IP address. 1 by default. Set to 0 to try to speedup connecting by IP address.

`net_getdomainname`

Allows to enable or disable trying to find domain names for IP addresses using DNS lookups. These can find domain names like nl2.badplace.eu from its IP address. However, on Windows this lookup seems to take a long time. Disabling it can therefore speed up connecting to a server significantly. As there will barely be any usecase for the domain names, it is 0 by default. Set to 1 to restore the original Quake behaviour with the lookups enabled.

Video

Switches on lerped model movement, default value is 1 (on).

`gl_interpolate_distance`

Sets the maximum distance between vertexes where animation lerping takes place. This variable was implemented exclusively for gl_interpolate_animation, when used with the value 2.
It is rather a technical thing, it serves fine-tuning of muzzleflash animations. If you’re not entirely familiar of this feature I recommend not adjusting it. Its default value is 135. It cannot be set higher than 300.

`iplog`

`ipmerge`

`identify`

These commands are exported from ProQuake. Please read the ProQuake documentation on using them.

`loadsky <filename>`

Loads a custom skybox.
As you know (or not) a skybox consists of 6 images (6 sides of a box). To set a skybox, you only have to add the common name of these six files, since they contain 2 characters of skybox extension at the end.
For example, you have a skybox called day, you have six images called dayrt, daybk, daylf, dayft, dayup, daydn. Then you only have to use loadsky day.
Skyboxes goes to /env directory. This command also sets r_skybox’s value. You can change skyboxes using this cvar as well.

Prints the spawn parameters of clients on the server. If clientnum is given, prints the spawn parameters for the client with that number. If it is not given, prints the spawn parameters for all active clients on the server.

`setspawnparam <paramnum> <value> [clientnum]`

Sets the spawn parameter with index paramnum to value. If clientnum is given, the spawn parameter of the client with that number is changed. If it is not given, the spawn parameter of the host is changed.

`writenextspawnparams [clientnum] [filename]`

Writes a config to store the spawn parameters as they would be if the current map is finished as is. Can be executed to start playing the next map with those stored spawn parameters.

If this client is not the server host, the spawn parameters of this client are written and assigned to the number clientnum (0 if not given). If this client is the server host, writes spawn parameters of the client with number clientnum. If clientnum is not given, writes the spawn parameters for all active clients on the server.

The name of the written config file can be given as filename. If not present, an automatic name based on current map and time is used.

`sv_protocol`

Overrides the default 15 (NetQuake) protocol version with given value. Recognized values are 666 (FitzQuake) and 999 (RMQ). This command primarly aims to keep JoeQuake compatible with mods.

`freefly`

Toggle freefly mode. This is a free flying third-person camera that can be used during demo playback. When enabled, the usual inputs will manipulate the camera’s position and angle (+moveleft, +moveright, +forward, +back, mouse movements, etc).

If the demo UI is enabled (cl_demoui 1) then click and drag with mouse2 to change the camera angle, or bind +freeflymlook (see below). If the demo UI is disabled (cl_demoui 0) then mouse movements will effect the camera angle without need for extra key or button presses.

`+freeflymlook` / `-freeflymlook`

When using freefly mode with the demo UI, this command makes mouse movements adjust the camera angle. Use this as an alternative to mouse2. You’ll typically want to bind this to a key, which should be held down to adjust the camera angle.

`freefly_copycam`

Copy a ReMaic-style command to the clipboard, indicating the freefly camera’s location, viewing direction, and current demo timestamp. The output must be manipulated a little to make a valid ReMaic script — the timestamp output as the third copied line must be used as a prefix for the next command, and likewise the copied move and pan command must be themselves prefixed with a timestamp from the previous command. This is because ReMaic’s move and pan commands indicate when the movement should start rather than when it should end, so timestamps need to be shifted on by one.

This command currently does not work on the win32 build.

`freefly_writecam [filename]`

Like freefly_copycam, but append commands to the provided filename instead. This command is available on all builds.
