CommandMode

Command Mode

You can access command mode by typing ':' in a single player or multiplayer scenario. More accurately, 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.'

Several vi-like commands are available in command mode. They are defined in playturn.cpp in the turn_info::do_command() function:

• :q|| or ||: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 toggle player on side between human and AI players
• :kick 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 kick and ban a user in multiplayer, and the IP address used by that username
• :control side player// change the controller for side to player
• :clear clear chat messages
• :debug switch debug mode on
• :debug off switch debug mode off
• :theme bring up theme selection menu

DebugMode enables additional commands in command mode:

• :n skip to next scenario by triggering a win event
• :gold amount// add amount gold to the current player's side
• :create unit_type create a unit of type specified at last selected hex
• :unit attribute//=//value when a unit is selected, this will set

the unit's attribute to value. See SingleUnitWML for possible values.
