Console

UNIGINE console is used for standard input, output and error streams for the file loading, rendering system, audio and video systems, path-finding system, physics engine, file system and many others.

Can be opened in any UNIGINE-based application.

How to Open Console#

A built-in console is called by pressing the grave accent (`) key, placed under the ESC key:

The console can be hidden by pressing the grave accent (`) key one more time. See how to assign another key here.

Console Operation#

Console operation can be either command or variable:

  • Command is a directive to a console to perform a specific task.
  • Variable is an identifier that contains some stored value.

Command Syntax#

Console command can take null, one or several arguments. The syntax is:

Source code
command_to_execute // null argument
command_to_execute argument // one argument
command_to_execute argument argument // two arguments

Hints

  • To see the current variable value, other acceptable values and short description, just type it and press the Enter key. For example, if you type the video_resizable variable, you get the following result:
    Source code
    video resizable toggle
    0 is non-resizable mode
    1 is resizable mode
    video_resizable = 1
  • To complete a command or variable name, just start typing first letters and press the TAB key until you get the required result.

How to Change the Console Opening Key#

If you want to change the default grave accent (`) console turning on or off key, do one of the following actions:

  • Open the configuration file data/unigine.cfg and change the ASCII-based key code in the following line:
    Source code (XML)
    <item name="console_key" type="int">96</item>

  • Command. Sets the stereo reprojection rendering mode for VR (allows to render 45 FPS as 90 FPS).
    Notice
    Reprojection does not give an x2 performance gain as there are a lot of other things to be rendered in addition to the ones rendered per-eye (such as shadow maps etc.). Moreover, in case of a CPU bottleneck, reprojection won't give any gain at all.
    It is recommended to enable stereo reprojection in the following cases:
    • You have a stable 70-80 FPS and just need some extra boost to get to 90
    • You have a fluctuating FPS (like 90, then 45, and 90 again), in this case reprojection will help you to get stable 90
    If your initial FPS is below 45, reprojection will half the framerate, and you'll end up having a completely messed up image. In this case reprojection should be disabled.

Arguments:
[0.0f; inf] - available range
1.0f - default

Other Settings#

render_latency
Description:
  • Variable. Prints the current maximum number of back buffer frames that a driver is allowed to queue for rendering.
  • Command. Sets the maximum number of back buffer frames that a driver is allowed to queue for rendering. The buffers are used for GPU load optimization: in certain cases several command buffers (frames) can be processed by GPU at once increasing the Waiting GPU time for one frame and having zero Waiting GPU time for the next ones. Thus, GPU avoids rendering spikes, but increased Waiting GPU time will cause a spike in application logic, in case when the logic is bound to duraton of a single frame. Frame latency is the number of frames that are allowed to be stored in a queue before submission for rendering. Latency is often used to control how the CPU chooses between responding to user input and frames that are in the render queue. In certain cases (high GPU load, VSYNC usage) it may be required to queue more frames of data, it is also beneficial for applications with no user input (e.g., video playback).
    Notice
