Command and menu help in Beta 5
Beta4: console presentation
Player names are bold. Chat preserves name formatting and displays green message text over a contrasting grey background controlled by con_alpha. System events use consistent name emphasis with ordinary event text. Shader prewarm, AVFX, Voice and timer authorization provide explicit output categories, so prefix color does not depend on wording or capitalization. Normal and green glyph heights are consistent in English and Russian fonts. The public Beta4 menu excludes bot launch; OpenTDM-X is distributed separately.
Beta 3 navigation
Both main and in-game menus use a single Presets entry with four domains. Lighting separates game, AVFX-oriented and custom presets. Lighting/Visibility explain mod-dependent settings and link to related options and mod configs.
The unified preset hub.
With ui_scale 0, menus adapt after resolution changes without another vid_restart. Cvar Browser adds missing help for health ambient, highlights, sound categories and window mode.
Beta 2 interface
The modern browser adds History after Favorites; network settings add recent-server retention and automatic connection. Extra Quality adds Metallic Lustre, and floor/wall material pickers add metals. Legacy server colored text and special glyphs are restored in console and HUD while preserving Russian UTF-8.
How the Q2PRO-X menu is built
The new Guided menu is the primary Q2PRO-X interface. It does not hide capabilities in autoexec.cfg; it leads you through logical sections: visuals, HDR, AVFX, highlights, network, demos, voice, single-player experiments and mods.
The Guided menu has two content profiles: Full and Multiplayer. The Multiplayer profile opens a separate compact menu for online players, while Full provides every Q2PRO-X section. The profiles differ in content, not presentation; both belong to the same Guided menu. Most rows can be opened both from the menu and by a console command.
| The complete navigation map of every page is collected in the appendix at the end of this document. It is generated from the release menu file itself, so it matches what you see in the game. |

1. Two menu profiles and how to switch
The menu profile is not a visual theme; it is the size of the menu.
| Profile | What it gives |
|---|---|
| Full | Every Q2PRO-X page without exception |
| Multiplayer | A reduced set: the main, game and options pages are replaced with compact network pages |
The reduced profile is for a player who does not want to walk past dozens of visual submenus before a match. Full access to the configuration settings is preserved.
1.1. The menu settings page
Menu Settings
| Type | Section | Row | Variable or target | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Section | Behavior | Behavior | ||
| Toggle | Behavior | Open menu on startup | ui_open | Default ON. On an ordinary launch, open the Q2PRO-X main menu. OFF leaves the full-screen console; ESC still opens the menu. |
| List | Behavior | Menu profile | cl_q2prox_menu_profile | Select the complete menu or the shorter multiplayer-focused root. Applies immediately. [Full / Multiplayer] |
| Section | Appearance | Appearance | ||
| List | Appearance | Game menu language | cl_menu_utf8_ru | Inherit the interface language or force English/Russian only for game menus. [Inherit global / English / Russian] |
| List | Appearance | Menu font | cl_menu_font_mode | Choose the classic bitmap font or the smooth Jost Medieval menu font. Applies immediately. [Legacy / Jost Medieval] |
| List | Appearance | Menu visual style | cl_menu_visual_style | Choose the classic menu look or modern Q2PRO-X panels and controls. Applies immediately. [Legacy / Modern] |
| Toggle | Appearance | Menu autoscale | cl_menu_modern_autoscale | Fit modern menus to the screen automatically while menu scale is Auto. Applies immediately. |
| Navigation | Appearance | Menu scale: auto | set ui_scale 0 | Return menu scale to automatic selection. |
| Slider | Appearance | Menu scale | ui_scale | Manual menu scale. Use the Auto action above to restore automatic fitting. Applies immediately. |
| Slider | Appearance | Menu opacity | cl_menu_alpha | Menu background opacity from fully transparent to opaque. Applies immediately. |
| Section | Hints & Badges | Hints & Badges | ||

| Toggle | Hints & Badges | Hover hints | cl_q2prox_menu_hover_hints | Show the same hint near the mouse cursor after a short delay. Applies immediately. |
| Slider | Hints & Badges | Hint delay | cl_q2prox_menu_hover_hint_delay | Delay before a mouse-hover hint appears. Applies immediately. |
| Slider | Hints & Badges | Hover hint background | cl_q2prox_menu_hover_hint_alpha | Opacity of the floating hint background; its text stays visible. Applies immediately. |
| Toggle | Hints & Badges | Q2PRO-X badges | cl_q2prox_menu_badges | Show green (X) markers on Q2PRO-X menu items. Applies immediately. |
| Toggle | Hints & Badges | Global-setting badges | cl_q2prox_menu_global_badges | Show (G) on settings saved globally for every mod. Applies immediately. |
| Toggle | Hints & Badges | Mod-setting badges | cl_q2prox_menu_mod_badges | Show (M) on settings saved only for the current mod. Applies immediately. |
1.2. The (X), (G) and (M) badges
The badges show the scope of a setting, not its importance:
| Badge | Meaning |
|---|---|
| (X) | A Q2PRO-X layer setting, local to the client |
| (G) | A global setting: it lives across mods |
| (M) | A mod-related setting: it can differ per game folder |
Each kind of badge is disabled separately if the interface feels crowded. That does not change a setting's scope — only its caption.
1.3. Hints
The hint for one row is shown in two places: as a compact line at the bottom of the screen, and as a pop-up near the cursor after a short delay. Both are enabled separately; the delay and the pop-up background opacity are configurable.
The hint text is the variable's description from the client's built-in reference. That is why the menu hint and the description in the cvar browser always say the same thing.
2. The appearance of the menu
2.1. Visual style, font, scale and opacity
Guided menu visual style changes only the presentation of the same menu between classic and modern renderers. It does not change the profile, structure, or set of pages: Q2PRO-X 1.6 Beta 5 has no separate user-selectable Classic menu.
Menu font selects the classic bitmap font or the smooth Jost Medieval menu font.
Menu scale can be left automatic or set by hand; a separate row restores the automatic mode.
Menu autoscale fits the Guided menu to the screen while the modern visual style is selected and the scale is set to Auto.
Menu opacity changes the opacity of the background.
All of these apply immediately and need no restart.
2.2. Language
The interface language is set once in the main menu, on the Interface language row: Auto, Off (English) or On (Russian). Game menus have a row of their own that either inherits the global choice or forces English or Russian.
The interface language also decides the language of the startup intro track — see the startup intro guide for details.
2.3. Whether the menu opens at launch
The Open the menu at startup row is on by default. Turning it off leaves a fullscreen console at start; the ESC key still opens the menu.
3. The console
3.1. What the Q2PRO-X console can do
The console supports scaling, opacity, fonts and readable sizes for large displays, Unicode clipboard handling, copying with Ctrl+C, and correct Russian input.
The console is convenient for:
1. Making a quick jump with a slash command.
2. Checking diagnostics: cl_avfx_info, gl_hdr_info, version, gl_render_scale_info and others.
3. Copying a variable's description from the reference into a chat, a defect report, or your own .cfg.
3.2. Russian input and translation
Q2PRO-X solves two separate problems: safe Russian input and transliteration for the Quake II console and chat, and a separate command that translates Russian text into English before it is sent to chat.
Details about input, layouts and binds are in the controls guide.
4. Quick commands
A quick command is a short slash alias that opens a menu or an overlay, or runs a diagnostic command. Every command has an English and a Russian alias: either can be typed.
This section is generated from the release quick-command table ru_input.c. Every row is a real command you can type in the console or on the chat line. Commands: 146.

| Navigation | Tools | List macros... | macrolist | List all available console macros. |
5.2. The cvar reference
The cvar reference is a live search window: it finds a variable by part of its name, shows its description, its accepted values, its source and its scope, and lets you reset the value. It is described in detail in the cvars and cvar browser guide.
5.3. The performance and budget HUD
The live HUD shows occupancy bars and the measured CPU and GPU cost of the frame, of dynamic lighting and of the enabled AVFX families. It is off by default.
It is the right tool when you need to know what exactly is expensive, instead of switching things off at random.
6. Practical scenarios
6.1. "I want a simple menu before a match"
1. Open Main menu → Options → Menu Settings.
2. Set Menu profile to Multiplayer.
3. Optionally disable the badges and the pop-up hints.
6.2. "I cannot read the captions, the font is too small"
1. Raise Menu scale, or leave it on Auto and enable Menu autoscale.
2. For the console and the HUD, use their own sizes — they are configured separately in the interface section.
6.3. "I need a specific variable and cannot remember its name"
1. Open the cvar reference from Help / about Q2PRO-X.
2. Type part of the name, or a word from the description.
3. Read the description and the accepted values right there in the window.
6.4. "The menu looks unfamiliar"
Make sure the appropriate Guided menu profile is selected: Full for every section, or Multiplayer for the compact online-play menu. For a more familiar presentation, select the classic visual style and bitmap font. This changes only the presentation of the same Guided menu, not its structure or set of pages.
Appendix. The complete menu navigation map
Every menu page of the release, its path and all of its rows are listed below. This is a reference section: there is no need to read it end to end.
This reference is generated from the release menu file q2pro-x.menu2. It lists the real pages, rows, navigation targets, variables and hints present in the built client.
Menu pages: 388. Menu rows: 6145. Of those, interactive controls: 3270.

| Navigation | How this works | Global settings | echo Standard particle settings are global Q2PRO-X preferences. | These are global Q2PRO-X preferences for the standard Quake II particle families. They survive maps, mods, servers and ordinary AVFX or Player Contact preset changes. |
| Navigation | How this works | Particles off | echo Particles off suppresses only future particles of that family. | Turning a family off stops only its future particles, before they are allocated or submitted. Particles already in the air finish normally, and the event's count, physics, lifetime, sound and gameplay are unchanged. |
| Navigation | How this works | Order of the switches | echo cl_particles and the legacy switches take precedence over the family switches. | The broad Particles master and the legacy per-effect switches decide first and always win when they hide something; the family switch is the finest step after them. The colour master above changes the colour of STANDARD families only. |
| Navigation | How this works | AVFX and Player Contact | echo AVFX and Player Contact particles have their own controls. | AVFX effects that reuse a stock particle producer are switched and recoloured on their own AVFX pages and in ordinary AVFX presets. Player Contact blood is tuned in Player Contact presets. Nothing here touches either of them. |

| Type | Section | Row | Variable or target | Hint |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Section | Mode | Mode | ||
| List | Mode | Adaptation mode | cl_ping_adapt_mode | Hold an absolute target ping. Off adds nothing. Manual holds your own target; Automatic takes it from the source below. The value is the FINAL ping, not an addition: real 10 with a target of 30 adds about 20, and a real ping already above the target adds nothing. Applies immediately. [Off / Manual / Automatic] |
| List | Mode | Automatic source | cl_ping_adapt_auto_source | Where Automatic takes its target: a configured range, or the active opposing players (OpenTDM: the other team; OpenFFA: the other active players). Spectators and you are always excluded. Applies immediately. [Range / Players] |

| Slider | Manual | Target ping | cl_ping_adapt_manual_ms | Absolute target ping for Manual mode. A target below your real ping simply adds nothing. Applies immediately. |
| Section | Automatic range | Automatic range | ||
| Slider | Automatic range | Minimum | cl_ping_adapt_range_min_ms | Lower bound of the band. Adaptation runs only while your real ping is below this value; one target is then chosen inside the band and held stable. Applies immediately. |
| Slider | Automatic range | Maximum | cl_ping_adapt_range_max_ms | Upper bound of the band. Both bounds are additionally limited by the maximum final ping below. Applies immediately. |
| Section | Players | Players | ||

General and blood (q2prox_avfx_contact_general)
Path: Main menu → Advanced Visual Effects → AVFX Detailed Settings → Local FX & Sound → Player Contact Effects → General and blood
| Type | Section | Row | Variable or target | Hint |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Toggle | Player Contact Effects | cl_avfx_contact | Master switch for the whole Player Contact layer. It is a child of the AVFX master, and off means exactly zero work. Applies immediately. | |
| List | Quality | cl_avfx_contact_quality | Detail and per-frame budget of the contact layer. Each tier carries its own immutable ceilings on droplets, collision probes, model marks, world blood, impact marks and vapor; your own caps below can only lower them, never raise them. Applies immediately. [Low / Basic / High / Extra] | |
| Slider | Maximum distance | cl_avfx_contact_distance | Contacts farther than this from the camera are not submitted for drawing. Lower values keep a busy fight cheap without changing what actually happened. Applies immediately. | |
| Slider | Detail scale | cl_avfx_contact_lod | Scales the AMOUNT of everything the layer emits, inside the hard caps. Below 1.00 it thins satellites, smoke lobes and collision probes first, and the immediate hit feedback last. Applies immediately. | |
| Toggle | Blood | cl_avfx_contact_blood | Family switch for every blood visual: model wounds, airborne spray, world stains, water response and corpse pools. Off keeps the stock Quake II blood; it does not hide flesh hits. Applies immediately. | |
| Toggle | Wounds on models | cl_avfx_contact_blood_model | Irregular wounds projected onto the opponent's model at the real hit point. They follow the animation instead of sliding, and expire on their own lifetime or when the model changes. Applies immediately. | |
| Toggle | Sprays and fountains | cl_avfx_contact_blood_spray | Ballistic blood in the air: droplets, filaments and mist thrown from the wound. Sustained fire builds a repeated fountain and it decays naturally after you release the trigger. Applies immediately. | |
| Toggle | Stains on the world | cl_avfx_contact_blood_surface | Splashes, stains and running drips on real floors and walls, clipped to the actual surface so nothing hangs over an edge or runs through a wall. Applies immediately. | |
| Toggle | Corpse pools | cl_avfx_contact_blood_corpse | Wound-fed leakage and a growing pool under a body, released only when death is actually proven. A disappearance on its own is never treated as a death, so no phantom pool appears. Applies immediately. | |
| Toggle | Blood in water and puddles | cl_avfx_contact_blood_water | Blood reaching real BSP water spreads as a short-lived dye film on the animated liquid surface; blood reaching an existing AVFX puddle stays inside its real boundary and ripples it. Applies immediately. | |
| Slider | Blood colour: red | cl_avfx_contact_blood_r | Red channel of the blood colour. The same colour is used for model wounds, airborne blood and world stains; lighting may darken it but never replaces it. Applies immediately. | |
| Slider | Blood colour: green | cl_avfx_contact_blood_g | Green channel of the blood colour. The same colour is used for model wounds, airborne blood and world stains; lighting may darken it but never replaces it. Applies immediately. | |
| Slider | Blood colour: blue | cl_avfx_contact_blood_b | Blue channel of the blood colour. The same colour is used for model wounds, airborne blood and world stains; lighting may darken it but never replaces it. Applies immediately. | |
| Slider | Blood opacity | cl_avfx_contact_blood_alpha | Base opacity of every blood visual before age and lighting are applied. Applies immediately. | |
| Slider | Blood amount | cl_avfx_contact_blood_amount | Global multiplier on how much blood a contact produces. It scales the emission, not the size of a single droplet. Applies immediately. | |
| Slider | Blood size | cl_avfx_contact_blood_size | Scales droplets, wounds and stains together. Applies immediately. | |
| Slider | Spray velocity | cl_avfx_contact_blood_velocity | Initial speed of the blood leaving the wound. Higher values throw it farther before gravity and drag take over. Applies immediately. | |
| Slider | Gravity | cl_avfx_contact_blood_gravity | How strongly airborne blood falls. 0.00 leaves it floating along its initial direction. Applies immediately. | |
| Slider | Air drag | cl_avfx_contact_blood_drag | How quickly airborne blood loses speed. Higher values make short, heavy spatter; lower values make long filaments. Applies immediately. | |
| Slider | Spread | cl_avfx_contact_blood_spread | Angular width of the spray around the impact direction. Applies immediately. | |
| Slider | Viscosity | cl_avfx_contact_blood_viscosity | How thickly blood spreads and runs on a surface. Higher values keep it tight and slow; lower values let it spread wide and thin. Applies immediately. | |
| Slider | Sustained fire gain | cl_avfx_contact_blood_sustained | How much continuous fire on the same target builds the fountain. 0.00 makes every hit independent. Applies immediately. | |
| Slider | Corpse flow rate | cl_avfx_contact_blood_corpse_flow | How fast the stored blood leaves a proven corpse and feeds its pool. Applies immediately. | |
| Slider | Wound lifetime | cl_avfx_contact_blood_model_lifetime | How long a wound stays on a living model. 0 disables model wounds entirely and purges the ones already there. Applies immediately. | |
| Slider | Stain lifetime | cl_avfx_contact_blood_surface_lifetime | How long a blood stain stays on the world. 0 disables persistent stains and purges the ones already there. Applies immediately. | |
| Slider | Corpse pool lifetime | cl_avfx_contact_blood_corpse_lifetime | How long a corpse pool and its leak stay. 0 disables corpse pools entirely. Applies immediately. |

| Type | Section | Row | Variable or target | Hint |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Toggle | Weapon surface marks | cl_avfx_contact_decals | Weapon- and material-specific impact marks on world surfaces: punctures, pellet clusters, plasma char, rail grooves and blast soot. Each mark is clipped to the real surface and never crosses an edge or a wall. Applies immediately. | |
| Slider | Mark opacity | cl_avfx_contact_decal_alpha | Base opacity of every weapon impact mark. Applies immediately. | |
| Slider | Mark size | cl_avfx_contact_decal_size | Global multiplier on the size of every weapon impact mark. Applies immediately. | |
| Slider | Material response | cl_avfx_contact_decal_roughness | How strongly a mark takes on the surface it landed on. Higher values deepen the difference between a dry wall, wet stone and metal. Applies immediately. | |
| Slider | Mark lifetime | cl_avfx_contact_decal_lifetime | How long a weapon impact mark stays. 0 disables persistent marks and purges the ones already there; the transient stock impact feedback is kept either way. Applies immediately. | |
| Toggle | Weapon vaporization | cl_avfx_contact_vaporize | Enable configured weapon vapor effects. Vaporization adds residue, smoke and heat; it never disables independently configured blood. Applies immediately. | |
| Slider | Residue amount | cl_avfx_contact_vapor_residue | How much scorched residue a vaporizing hit leaves on the target and the nearest valid surface. Applies immediately. | |
| Slider | Residue lifetime | cl_avfx_contact_vapor_residue_lifetime | How long vaporization residue stays. 0 disables it. Applies immediately. | |
| Slider | Smoke amount | cl_avfx_contact_vapor_smoke | How many smoke lobes rise from a vaporized target. Applies immediately. | |
| Slider | Smoke lifetime | cl_avfx_contact_vapor_smoke_lifetime | How long each smoke lobe lives. 0 disables the smoke. Applies immediately. | |
| Slider | Smoke rise height | cl_avfx_contact_vapor_smoke_height | How high the smoke climbs above the body volume. Applies immediately. | |
| Toggle | Heat shimmer | cl_avfx_contact_vapor_heat_haze | Short-lived air distortion over a vaporized body. It is optional by backend capability: where the renderer cannot provide it, the rest of the vaporization is unchanged and nothing is substituted. Applies immediately. |

Path: Main menu → Advanced Visual Effects → AVFX Detailed Settings → Local FX & Sound → Player Contact Effects → Blood reflections
| Type | Section | Row | Variable or target | Hint |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Toggle | Blood-pool scene reflection (SSR) | cl_avfx_contact_blood_scene_reflection | Real screen-space reflection in horizontal blood sheets. Blood owns one SSR layer on BSP and Surface Materials; on AVFX puddles or water it inherits the existing liquid reflection to prevent a duplicate pass. Applies immediately. | |
| Slider | Scene reflection strength | cl_avfx_contact_blood_scene_reflection_strength | Strength of the world/static SSR contribution in blood. Applies immediately. | |
| List | Scene reflection quality | cl_avfx_contact_blood_scene_reflection_quality | SSR march precision. Higher values are crisper and cost more GPU time. Applies immediately. [Low / Medium / High / Ultra] | |

| Type | Section | Row | Variable or target | Hint |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Slider | Tracked targets | cl_avfx_contact_max_targets | How many opponents keep their own wound, burst and reservoir state at once. The least recently hit target is dropped first. Applies immediately. | |
| Slider | Airborne droplets | cl_avfx_contact_max_droplets | Hard cap on visible blood droplets. The active quality tier may lower it further; it can never raise it. Applies immediately. | |
| Slider | Collision traces per frame | cl_avfx_contact_max_collision_probes | How many representative droplet trajectories may be traced against the world each frame. Untraced droplets render as satellites of a traced one. Applies immediately. | |

Command and menu help in Beta 5
All client variables and console commands have Russian and English help. Entering a variable name shows its value, description and accepted values. Entering a command without arguments prints its description and syntax below the input line; the command still executes normally. Commands from binds and configuration files do not print hints. Menu-button and key-binding technical hints explain what a command does rather than merely naming it.
The Commands tab adds groups for visual effects and presets; gameplay, HUD and timers; music and voice; network tools; menus, browsers and editors; local server and play; and commands for the separate OpenTDM-X mod. The current browser catalogue contains 519 commands: 78 previous and 441 added. Each has a description, syntax and an indication of its effects. Selecting one only inserts it into the console; it does not execute it. Internal commands are hidden from the browser but retain console and menu help. OpenTDM-X help does not mean the mod or a bot menu is included in the public client.
