Editing List of console commands and variables

Console commands carry out a particular action when sent to the console.
:''Back to [[Console]]''
==Console commands==
Console commands are executed, they don't inherently store values to be checked.
===Flags===
Console commands have flags assigned to them, which alter their usability. They are:
*buffered: wait until all screen has rendered before running command.
*hidden: not showing when running cmdlist.
*level: only runnable during levels.
*netvar: under multiplayer, synchronizes with the other players.
*notnet: forbidden in multiplayer (unless during a demo).
*server: if under multiplayer, only triggerable by the "server" player.
===Categories===
The commands can be grouped by their purpose:
*Control: general game control.
*Core: main console stuff, such as "echo" or "delay".
*I/O: input/output setup.
*Information: purely informative commands. Can be executed any time as they don't affect the game.
*Logging: special console logging commands.
*Menu: commands that show various menus, as well as a few commands with actual effects, which depend on the current menu state, and can't be run standalone.
*Testing: gameplay testing and "cheating" commands.

! Description
|-
||'''addfile'''||''wadfilename''||buffered notnet||Control||Adds the specified wad file at run-time. Some features will not function completely as expected when WADs are loaded at run-time, so for maximum compatibility always use the command line to load files.
|-
||'''alias'''||''newcmdname'' ''command''||||Core||'''alias''' alone will list all currently defined aliases. Providing ''newcmdname'' alone will remove that alias if it exists. Providing ''newcmdname'' and a valid console ''command'' will create "newcmdname" as an alias to that command, allowing shortcuts. 

In order to make an alias take parameters, use the special variable "%opt", as such: 
  alias "mycommand" "hu_overlay %opt"
|-
||'''animshot'''||''numframes''||||Control||Takes the given number of consecutive screenshots for the purpose of making a crude animation. Would be useful for animated GIFs or AVI movies. This command will make the game run very slow, however, and will eat up disk space quickly, so use it with care. 
|-
||'''banish'''||||level notnet||Testing||If the player is autoaiming at an enemy, the enemy will be removed from the play simulation and its memory will be freed once no other objects reference it.
|-
||'''bind'''||''keyname'' ''actionname''||||I/O||Binds the specified action to the specified key. actionname is a string and should be enclosed in quotes if it contains whitespace. actionname may specify any valid action or console command. If "actionname" is not provided, the current binding status of the specified key will be displayed. 
|-
||'''bindings'''||||||Information||Dumps a list of all active keybindings to the console.

|-
||'''closelog'''||||||Logging||Closes a console log opened by the '''openlog''' command. If no logging is currently occuring, this command does nothing. This command doesn't apply to files used by '''dumplog''', as they are closed immediately, so it doesn't need to be used with the '''dumplog''' command.
|-
||'''cmdlist'''||''filter''||||Core||Displays all user-visible console commands, one per line. As of Eternity Engine v3.31 Delta, this command accepts an optional ''filter'' parameter that, if provided, should consist of a single character between A and Z.

|-
||'''defdmflags'''||''mode''||server||Control||Sets the deathmatch flags variable to its default settings. If no argument is provided, dmflags is set to the default for the current game type. Otherwise, the "mode" parameter indicates what game mode's defaults to set, with the following values:
