Quake 2 Console Commands
The Key
Below there are explanations to all of the different fields which are used to describe each command. It is good to know what the information in each field contains and refers to. The fields that I have used to describe each command and variable are a way of standardizing information among each command and to make sure that all of the information is given in an orderly fashion.
I have also taken upon myself to classify all of those console commands and console variables. These classifications are in no way related to how the game feels about the various types of commands and variables. The game only distinguishes between commands and variables. The names of each class are only meant to identify the different type of a command or variable, and give some insight into it's syntax and what type of parameters it accepts. Basically if a user knows that a given variable is classified as a toggle, he won't try to use negative numbers or fractions as input, or if a command is classified as an operation he will know not to use any parameters. These classifications are just here to help you with the syntax recognition and to remove unnecessary syntax fields.
1.1. Fields
Type:
This field appears for all commands and variables. The information in this field classifies the command or variable based on it's syntax. The inclusion of this field also allows for the shortening of this document by specifying one syntax for a whole class of commands or variables and not having to display the identical syntax for each command or variable. Further explanation about all of the different types of commands and variables that have been classified is included in the section below.
Syntax:
This field only appears for the class of function commands since each of those commands has it's own syntax. It displays the parameters that the command accepts and any other special characters. The convention of using words in parenthesis, i.e. (filename), designates that a single value should be specified which is described by the phrase inside the parenthesis, i.e. base1.bsp.
Default:
This field only appears for the variables. It displays the default value that is used by the game when it is started for the first time. The information in this field displays the default value for any given variable which can be referenced when it is necessary to restore that variable to it's original setting.
Description:
This field appears for all commands and variables. It displays a short description of the command or variable. This is just a reference field for a quick glance at what the command or variable does. I decided to write the sentences in this field as if grouped with an invisible prefix which should be appended to the sentence while reading this field. For commands the prefix would be "This command will...", for variables the prefix would be "This variable holds information about...", or "This variable will..." for toggle variables. It is better to omit this prefix in the actual description to save space and to avoid repeating the same part of the sentence over and over.
Notes:
This field appears for some commands and variables. It displays a long, detailed description of the command or variable. Usually a lot of background information is displayed in this field if the command or variable has some special functions or special syntax is necessary. This is to be considered a supplement to the Description: field where longer explanations should be provided.
Values:
This field only appears for the class of toggle variables. It displays all of the possible settings for a variable if there are more than the usual 0 and 1. This is an important field because it identifies all settings for that toggle variable.
Example:
This field only appears for the class of function commands since each of those commands has it's own syntax. It displays some examples of how the syntax should be used. For some commands this field is very necessary because some function commands have a very weird syntax.
1.2. Commands
Action:
An action command performs an action when the +action part of the command is executed and terminates that action when the -action part of the command is executed. When an action command is bound to a key, the +action is executed when the key is pressed, and the -action is executed when the key is released. The default syntax for an action is '+command' or '-command'. The syntax field is skipped for all action commands.
Function:
A function command performs a single function based on the parameters included for that operation. A function usually has extra parameters and they are usually necessary for proper execution. The default syntax for a function is 'command (parameter)'. The syntax field is present for all function commands since each one has it's own unique syntax.
Operation:
An operation command performs a single function in the game every time the command is executed. It does not use any parameters. The default syntax for an operation is 'command'. The syntax field is skipped for all operation commands.
1.3. Variables
Bitmap:
A bitmap variable is able to toggle more than one feature by using a single value. The way that a bitmap variable works is that a value is assigned to each bit. Each bit is like a toggle, only being able to be set to an on and off state. To turn on the desired features all the values representing individual bits are added together. So if you want to turn on the features which have values of 4, 8, 32, 256, you would set the variable to the sum of these values which is 300. The default syntax for a bitmap variable is 'variable (value)'. Allowable values for a bitmap variable include integers only.
Command Line Parameter:
A command line parameter is a variable which is set from a command line. The reason for setting a variable from the command line, is that some variables are write protected once the game starts and cannot but changed. Command line parameters are usually used to enable or disable a handful of features before loading up the game. The default syntax is 'quake2.exe +set variable (value)'.
Register:
A register variable is able to store any type of numeric information. Register variables are used for numeric data which does not have clearly defined boundaries. The default syntax for a register variable is 'variable (value)'. Allowable values for a register variable include integers, fractions, and negative values.
String:
A string variable is able to store any type of text information. The default syntax for a string variable is 'variable "(text)"'. Allowable values for a string variable include all numbers and all text characters.
Toggle:
A toggle variable is able to turn a feature on, off, or set it to an alternative setting. The values for a toggle are usually only 0 and 1. Sometimes there are alternative settings for a toggle, in which case subsequent numbers are used such as 2, 3, 4, and so on. The default syntax is 'variable (value)'. Allowable values for a toggle variable include integers only in increments of 1.

Note: Some commands that the client uses do not need to be prefixed with cmd before sending them to the server. The function on this command is to allow the client to perform actions which require information from the server. This command is basically an interface between the client and the server, where the client asks the server if it can perform an action, and the server performs the action or rejects the request. This command is automatically used by the client internally, so it is never necessary to call this command unless performing some type of debugging.

Description: Toggle the locking of the current PVS table.
Note: If this toggle is enabled the game will lock the PVS table in the memory for the current location that the player is in and it will not let it be updated by the player's movement. The PVS table determines what parts of the map can be seen by the player and if they should be rendered. This variable is used by map makers to lock the PVS from a certain location and then move around to see what parts the game will render from that location and then determine where hint brushes should be placed to limit the rendering. It is helpful to enable the gl_clear command to avoid the hall of mirrors effect on the unrendered parts of the level.

gl_playermip
Type: Toggle
Default: 0
Description: The dimensions of displayed player skins.
Note: The value of this variable will determine the dimensions of the player skins which are displayed in the game. The displayed skins are shrunk by the formula 2^x where x is the value of this register. Setting this to a value which is larger than zero might provide performance increases on slow systems.
