Changes: Builder Console Commands

Latest revision as of 22:00, 15 January 2016

The builder console commands are available when building a new level. They are not meant to be used during normal play and are not accessible while multiplayer matches are active.

/BUILD: Enable Building Mode. All other builder console commands require building mode to be enabled. Once building mode is enabled, press TAB to enter building mode.

/FEATURE[S]: Shows an overview of all tile features on the map and the number of each.

/LEVELINFO: Display information about the level including the name and size of the map.

/SAVEMAP [filename]: Saves the current level to the give filename. No extension should be given. If no filename is included, it saves it using the most recently used filename.

/LOADMAP [filename]: Loads the map indicated by the filename. No extension should be given. If no filename is included, reloads the currently open map from the disk.

/NEWMAP [width height depth]: Creates a new map and disables lighting. Optional width, height, and depth parameters will altar the size of the new map. Width is the east/west, height is the north/south, and depth is the up/down dimension of the map.

/SHOW: Toggles lighting on and off. Turn lighting off while editing to aid with visibility.

/LIGHTALL: Updates all lighting calculations and enables lighting. This will generally take a few seconds to complete.

/LIGHT: Updates the light in the current chunk only.

/PASS or /COLL: Disables collision detection and gravity. Allows you to pass through walls to aid in the construction of levels. V is the hotkey when in build mode.

/CREATECHUNK: Creates a new map Chunk where you are standing. This expands your map and allows you to make it larger.

/WAITINGCOORD: Sets the waiting for match to start camera position to the player's current location.

/HIDEWATER: Toggles the rendering of water to aid in level design.

/HIDETERRAIN: Toggles the rendering of the terrain height map to aid in level design.

/HIDEBLOCKS: Toggles the rendering of the blocks to aid in level design.

/HIDENORENDER: Toggles the rendering of non rendered blocks to aid in level design. (Non rendered blocks only show up while the builder is active.)
