Console

Main / Technical Details / Console

The console is a window for entering text commands to the Wurm client. It can be opened using F1 in the default key bindings ( F9 in the current unstable client). Console commands should not be confused with chat commands or actions.

Commands

Legend: <name> is a mandatory argument, [name] is an optional argument, (name|other) is an argument which requires one of the listed values.
Commands being bound with bind <key> toggle with the * mark indicate that the quotes are required. Example: bind j "toggle journal".

bind <key>

Shows the current binding for the given key.

bind <key> ""

Removes the current binding for the given key.

bind <key> <action>

Binds the key to the specified action. See key bindings for more information on <key> and <action> values.

bind <key> "<text>"

Binds the key to a console command. Pressing the key will act as if you had typed the text into the console. See key bindings for more information.

findbind <action>

Returns the keys bound to an action.

dump (debug | skills)

Saves the specified data to a file in the player's dumps directory.

dump (binds | options)

Dumps the specified data to the console.

exec <filename>

Executes each line in the file as a console command.

irc [server] [port]

Connects to the specified IRC network. Defaults are irc.rizon.net and 6667.
If the defaults are used, the client also autoconnects to #wurm

firepillar

Creates a short flame animation on the player's current tile, similar to the Fire pillar spell, and changes the tile's texture to that of a lava tile for the rest of the play session. When used underground, the tile changed is the corresponding above-ground tile at that location. This is a visual effect only, and does not affect what is seen by other players.

ircsay <text>

Sends the text to the topmost IRC window.

quit

Opens the quit dialog

reallyquit

Quits the client without asking for confirmation

refresh

Reloads the game graphics

resize (fullscreen | maximized | windowed | resizable) width height [refreshrate]

Changes the window mode and resolution.

say <text>

Sends the specified text to the local chat window. (Access other chat windows using /tell, /shout, /village)

screenshot

Creates a screenshot (in the player's screenshot directory)

sensitivity <0-10>

Changes mouse sensitivity to the given value. Note that this only changes the senstivity when looking around.

setoption <string>

Displays a list of options whose name matches the string.

setoption <option_name> <option_value>

Changes a game option without restarting. Not all options can be changed while playing. Look in gamesettings.txt for option names and value hints.

timelapse <seconds>

Starts taking screenshots automatically at every interval that you inputted with <seconds>. Type timelapse in the console and hit enter to turn the timelapse off.

toggle ( compass* | characterwindow | console | debug | fightspam | friends | gui | health | improve | inventory | mainmenu | menubar | mouselook | selected | skills | spelleffects | stats | target | wikisearch* | support* | freelookmode* | cookbook* | journal*)

Toggles the specified feature. Most control display of HUD components.

wiki <title>

Opens a window with the specified wiki page.
