Command Mode

You can access command mode by typing ' : ' in a single player or multiplayer scenario. (Prior to version 1.1.1, you need to type shift - semicolon( ; ). However this isn't possible on all keyboards; if your keyboard doesn't have ':' above ';' you can change the hotkey in the Preferences, or you could edit game.cfg by hand.')

Note: you can highlight, copy, and paste text in debug mode.

Several vi-like commands are available in command mode. They are defined in menu_events.cpp. In the 1.5 branch, there is a :help command that lists all available commands, and :help foo displays more info about command foo. This is more reliable than the list that follows here:

:q!
quit the scenario (without prompting)
:w
save the game (without prompting)
:wq
save the game and quit the scenario (without prompting)
:refresh
redraw the screen
:droid [side] [on|off]
toggle player on side between human and AI player. The player/client who controls that side needs to issue this command. If you don't provide side, the current side is assumed.
:muteall
toggles muting/silencing of all observers on/off
:mute [username]
mute a specific observer. If no username is supplied the muted usernames are displayed.
:unmute [username]
unmute a specific observer. If no username is given everyone is unmuted. (Doesn't effect the muteall setting.)
:kick username
kick a user in multiplayer. They will be able to rejoin the game. Generally a friendly way to remove someone who is having connection or other difficulties.
:ban username
kick and ban a user in multiplayer by the IP address used by that username. Can be used on users not in the game but on the server. (Of course they won't be kicked then.)
:unban username
unban a user by the IP address used by that username. Can be used on users not in the game but on the server.
:control side username
change the controller for side (write here the number of the side, the side must be controlled by you) to username (write here the nick of the player or observer)
:clear
clear chat messages
:debug
switch debug mode on (does not work in multiplayer). Debug mode is turned off by quitting the game or using the :nodebug command.
:theme
bring up theme selection menu
:nosaves
turns off the autosave function
:show_coordinates (or :sc)
Overlay x,y coordinates on map tiles. 1.5.5 onwards
:show_terrain_codes (or :tc)
