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.
  • multiplayer_cheats - Claims to enable/disable cheating in multiplayer, however no cheats appear to be enabled or disabled. Largely useless.

Worldwide Demo

Version 1.0

See version 1.2 command list

Version 1.1

See version 1.2 command list

Version 1.3 (Unofficial)

See version 1.2 command list

Pure Faction Beta 4 (Unofficial, Unreleased)
