Useful Counter-Strike: Source console commands
The console is convenient when you need to quickly connect to a server, check FPS and network, record a demo, or reconnect. Below are basic commands that are useful to the average player and do not require installing someone else's config.
Connecting to the server
If the server address is already known, you can connect directly through the console. This is convenient when the server is not added to your favorites or you received the address from a friend.
connect IP:PORT
Connects to the server using its address and port. retry
Reconnects to the last server. disconnect
Disconnects from the current server and returns to the game menu. status
Shows information about the current server and connected players. FPS and connection status
cl_showfps 1
Includes a simple FPS counter. cl_showfps 0
Hides the FPS counter. net_graph 2
Shows extended frame and network connection information. net_graph 0
Hides the network diagram. fps_max NUMBER
Sets the upper FPS limit. Use a meaningful value instead of copying someone else's setting. Record and view a demo
It’s convenient to save a demo to analyze a controversial issue, your game, or an interesting match. It is better to specify the file name in Latin letters without extra characters.
record NAME
Starts recording a demo with the selected NAME. stop
Stops the current demo recording. playdemo NAME
Starts viewing a recorded demo by name. Binds without a huge foreign config
Bind associates a key with a command. This is useful for familiar actions, but before changing it is better to know what is already assigned to the selected key.
Don't paste a long string of commands from a random source. Start with one clear bind, check the result and only then add the next one.
bind KEY COMMAND
Assigns the COMMAND command to the KEY key. unbind KEY
Removes the assignment from the selected key. How to use commands safely
- Change only the parameter whose purpose you understand.
- Make a note of the initial value if you experiment with the setting.
- Do not download unknown executable files under the guise of a ready-made FPS or ping config.
- To connect, use server addresses from MARCOPLAY monitoring or another trusted address.
Everything is ready for the next step
