Lugaru's Console Guide

Accessing the Console

To access Lugaru's console, you need to first turn on debug mode. Afterwards, simply press the tilde key (`) to open the console, when you are playing a level.

Note: The console key changes on keyboards with a non-US keyboard layout.

Keys for console by layout:

German - ö

Norwegian / Swedish - <

Colombian - Ñ

Some UK keyboards use the ' key.

You may also try pressing ~ or t

Console commands are typically made up of two components the command, which is always in bold, and the argument(s) in italics, for instance, "map raidercamp". In this guide, each command will be followed by the text "floating point," "integer," "boolean," or "string," which are all explained below.

A floating point is a number with a decimal. For instance, 0.2, 2.3 or 3.0. Warning: the decimal and/or preceding zero is necessary. You may wonder why ".2" or "3" do not work in the console. You must change them to "0.2" or "3.0".

An integer is any whole number (can be negative too.) E.g. -2, -1, 0, 1, 2.

A boolean is a true or false value. In terms of the console, that means 1 or 0, respectively.

A string is text.

Dialogue

See the Dialogues section.

Hotspots

• hs (floating point) (integer) (string) creates a hotspot underneath you. The three arguments correspond to the size, type, and text of the hotspot, respectively. See below for the explanations of each type integer.

type 0 = static, display text
type 1-10 = attached to player 1-10, display text
type 11-20 = attached to player 1-10, must kill to win
type -1 = win if approached

• dhs deletes the last hotspot.

An example is "hs 15.0 0 sdf". Note that hotspots are very buggy, especially those not of type 0. Quitting and restarting Lugaru, then creating a hotspot in a simple map first, can help. You may have to fiddle around with this. Some strings may be randomly rejected, but if you know how to hex-edit, you can change them directly in the map file (make sure to change the byte before the string to the number of its characters).

Graphics

• viewdistance (floating point) sets the far clipping plane. In other words, it controls how far you can see before the fog obscures it. Its value is based on 1, that is, 1.5 is 50% farther.
• fadestart (floating point) sets what fraction of the viewdistance an object must pass to begin fading. In other words, it controls how far an object has to be before it starts becoming transparent. Its value is based on 1, that is, 1.5 is 50% farther.

Miscellaneous

• quit quits Lugaru.
• slomo (floating point) Toggles slow motion on or off. If it's turning on, the gamespeed is controlled by the floating point value. The value is based on 1, that is, 0.5 is 50% slower than normal game speed.
• slofreq (integer) sets the slow motion sound frequency
• The following commands have unknown effects. Contribute to the wiki by finding out: "metal", "sizemin", and perhaps more importantly, "fixrotation", "fixtype".
