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:

<nowiki>: q or :q!</nowiki>; quit the scenario (without prompting)
<nowiki>: w</nowiki>; save the game (without prompting)
<nowiki>: wq</nowiki>; save the game and quit the scenario (without prompting)
<nowiki>: refresh</nowiki>; redraw the screen
<nowiki>: droid</nowiki> side; toggle player on side between human and AI players. If a human controls the side, the player himself has to issue this command.
<nowiki>: kick</nowiki> 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.
<nowiki>: ban</nowiki> username; kick and ban a user in multiplayer, and the IP address used by that username
<nowiki>: control</nowiki> side username; change the controller for side (write here number of the side) to username (write here nick of player or observer)
<nowiki>: clear</nowiki>; clear chat messages
<nowiki>: debug</nowiki>; switch debug mode on (does not work in multiplayer). Debug mode is turned off by quitting the game.
<nowiki>: theme</nowiki>; bring up theme selection menu

Extra Debugging Commands

DebugMode enables additional commands in command mode:

<nowiki>: n</nowiki>; skip to next scenario by triggering a win event
<nowiki>: gold</nowiki> amount; add amount gold to the current player's side
<nowiki>: create</nowiki> unit_type; create a unit of type specified at last selected hex
<nowiki>: unit</nowiki> attribute=value; when a unit is selected, this will set the unit's attribute to value. See SingleUnitWML for possible values.
