Red Faction Console Commands: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 23:44, 16 March 2008

The Red Faction Client Console can be opened in every known version of Red Faction (besides the International Demo) by pressing ~ after loading up the game.

The Red Faction Dedicated Server Console is the box that pops up when you start a dedicated server. You can type commands directly into it.

Various client and server console commands can be used to perform such action as chating, changing rate, and changing level to name a few.

Version 1.2 Client/Server Console Commands

ban <player name> - Kicks the player from the server and adds his IP to your banlist.txt.

ban_ip <player IP address or range> - Kicks any players with that IP or range from the server and adds that IP or range to your banlist.txt.

level <level .rfl name> - Changes to the specified map (after the freezetime at the scoreboard).

International Demo

Multiplayer Test

There are two extra console commands available in Multiplayer Test. Otherwise, all commands are the same as normal servers Extra commands:

debug <command> - Parses the entire command entered, displays some variables from it. Largely useless, probably just for a Volition bugtest.
