Talk:Console Command List

should the Console Command List include Console Variables also?—ts2do ^(Talk | @) 23:30, 4 Jan 2006 (PST)

The currently listed commands are for Half-Life 2 single player, right? --Pizzahut 09:40, 5 Jan 2006 (PST)

I would like to know in what way you'd like this article cleaned up. I'd like to scrap this list by turning it into several smaller pages under the Console Commands and Console Variables sub-categories. It will take some time, but I might find the energy to do it. --Andreasen 17:41, 14 Feb 2006 (PST)

I really don't think this is a very helpful documented list...instead of having a full list of commands...it'd make more sense to have specific articles on a set of commands...like Advanced Crosshair ConVars—ts2do 18:25, 14 Feb 2006 (PST)

Yes, that page looks beautiful. We'll see if I can find the time to start converting. Working at converting a tutorial right now. --Andreasen 20:09, 14 Feb 2006 (PST)

I'm glancing over this page once more and would want to know how we would divide it. Are we going to do it alphabetically, and make an "ai_" page with all the ai_* or perhaps the ai* commands/variables, or are we going with topic categories, with all the commands controlling the ai, like making an "AI CVars" page? I'm voting for the topic categories, tough this ironically means that I won't be able to categorize this, knowing nothing about these commands. With topic categories, things like "addip", "writeip" and "writeid" end up in the same "ban" category. --Andreasen 04:30, 19 Feb 2006 (PST)

it also would be a good idea to make redirect for each cvar listed in the articles—ts2do 20:19, 14 Feb 2006 (PST)

You mean a page for each cvar, so that you can type them in the search box? Good idea, but just so you know, that's gonna be a looot of pages to create - will probably spam up the "Recent changes" page. --Andreasen 04:30, 19 Feb 2006 (PST)

so? that's what happened with my Steam Resource Map image uploading—ts2do 08:43, 19 Feb 2006 (PST)

Yes, but that was a very small amount of pictures compared to this entire list. I'm not telling you not to do it. I'm perhaps telling you to see if these pages can be automatically created OUTSIDE of the "Recent changes" list somehow, with the aid of some admin here. --Andreasen 23:45, 19 Feb 2006 (PST)

Category Suggestions

Explanation

In order to prepare for groupings, we could suggest which commands belong together here, and what the group is going to be titled.

After having created a group and transfered the list of commands/variables with their descriptions there, we could reroute the pages of these commands to the group page, and have the description in the Console Command List say for instance: "See Player Keys."

For a layout of a group page, see Advanced Crosshair ConVars, but we could also add which game the commands/variables are for, if it differs, like something like I've seen somewhere else (and can't remember at the moment).

Admin Commands

addip

writeip

writeid

+ more to come.

Player Keys

All the +/- commands seem to represent keys ingame, typically used with the bind command, which could also be included there.

Cheats

sv_cheats 1

god + all the commands available after having entered sv_cheats 1.

buddha + any other command that provides an unfair advantage.

They are currently listed under sv_cheats, but I think sv_cheats should be rerouted to a new Cheats page instead.
