Console Command List/M

Command	Default	Cheat?	Help Text
m_customaccel	0		Custom mouse acceleration (0 disable, 1 to enable, 2 enable with separate yaw/pitch rescale). Formula: mousesensitivity = ( rawmousedelta^m_customaccel_exponent ) * m_customaccel_scale + sensitivity. If mode is 2, then x and y sensitivity are scaled by m_pitch and m_yaw respectively.

mat_setvideomode			Changes the resolution and display mode of the game window. Tests in reveal the following: Format of parameters is mat_setvideomode [width] [height] [display mode]. Display mode can be negative or 0 for Fullscreen, and positive above 0 for Windowed. Resolution will automatically be rounded to the nearest resolution in the normal Window Settings menu (eg: 1600x800 will be rounded to 1600x900). If the resolution does not match any pre-defined resolutions (such as 720x1280), it appears to default to 1600x900. Bug: According to the tests in , menus may incorrectly become visible. Only occurred when in an active round, where several in-game UIs would appear on-screen with broken text.  [todo tested in?]
