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 F1 key:

The console can be hidden by pressing the F1 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 main_window_resizable variable, you get the following result:
    Source code
    Main window resizable toggle
    0 is non-resizable mode
    1 is resizable mode
    main_window_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 F1 console turning on or off key, open the user configuration file (configs/default.user by default) and change the console_key field. You can specify a key scancode or name from the list. For example, to set the back quote key, specify BACK_QUOTE (or 17):

Source code (XML)
<console_key>BACK_QUOTE</console_key>

You can also specify several comma-separated keys:

Source code (XML)
<console_key>BACK_QUOTE,F3,18</console_key>

To set a keyboard shortcut that turns on and off the console, specify a key modifier in the console_key_modifier field in addition to the console key. The modifier can be set by using a modifier code or name from the list. For example, to set the Left Ctrl+` shourtcut, change the user configuration file as follows:

Source code (XML)
<console_key>BACK_QUOTE</console_key>
<console_key_modifier>LEFT_CTRL</console_key>

Notice
You can also change the console opening key or keyboard shortcut using the console_key and console_key_modifier commands while the application is executed.

material_manager_info
Description:
  • Command. Prints information on all loaded materials (e.g. the number of loaded shaders; states, textures and parameters that don't exist in the parent material).
materials_loading_modeConfig file: *.boot
Description:
  • Variable.   Prints the current materials loading mode.
  • Command.   Sets the materials loading mode.
Arguments:
0 - Minimal memory consumption and maximum Engine loading speed. Сaching for materials and shaders is disabled, so everything is loaded on demand resulting in lots of freezes, spikes, etc. This method can be used when spikes are less important than memory consumption. It is recommended for fast iterations during the application development phase as less time is spent on launching your application and loading resources.
1 - Caching is enabled for materials, so materials are created at Engine's startup rather than at run time. Engine startup takes more time than for the first mode and more memory is used. There are less spikes in this mode, but they occur sometimes. This mode can be enabled on a constant basis for a small project having a small number of materials (in case of satisfactory performance and sufficient memory amount).
2 - Caching of materials is enabled along with shader cache generation and loading. This mode requires compilation of all shaders resulting in very long loading times. Everything is kept in memory with no streaming required. This mode is the best as it ensures stable work and significant reduction of spikes.
Notice
In case of large projects with tens of thousands of materials the amount of available memory can be exceeded, as shader cache takes a lot of it.
Thus, it is recommended to be used for production phase (when you hand over you application to the end user). (by default)

  • Variable.   Prints the current area to be used for exposure calculation, when culling of pixels that are not visible in VR mode (see the render_stereo_hidden_area command) is enabled.
  • Command.   Sets the area to be used for exposure calculation, when culling of pixels that are not visible in VR mode (see the render_stereo_hidden_area command) is enabled. Correction of this area is used to avoid visual artefacts when clipped pixels affect exposure in visible areas. A four-component vector (X, Y, Z, W):
    • First two components (X, Y) - sizes along the X and Y axes respectively.
    • Second two components (Z, W) - offset values along the X and Y axes respectively.
      Notice
      These components are ignored when the hidden area culling mode (see the render_stereo_hidden_area command) is set to 1
    All components are specified within the [0.0f, 1.0f] range.
Arguments:
(0.6f, 0.6f, 0.0f, 0.0f) - default value

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 duration 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
    Values 1-3 are available for DirectX only.
Arguments:
0 - sequential rendering CPU-GPU-CPU-GPU...
1 - 1 buffer (by default)
2 - 2 buffers
3 - 3 buffers
render_occlusion_queries
Description:
  • Variable.   Prints a value indicating if the option controlled by the command below is enabled.
  • Command.   Toggles the value indicating if additional hardware occlusion query test before sending data to GPU is enabled. This test is performed for all objects with the Culled by occlusion query flag set.
Arguments:
0 - disabled
1 - enabled (by default)
render_occlusion_queries_num_frames
Description:
  • Variable.   Prints the current number of frames for additional hardware occlusion query test performed before sending data to GPU.

Arguments:
[0; 1024] - available range

render_max_fps
Description:
  • Variable.   Prints the current maximum FPS value, to which rendering FPS is to be clamped.
  • Command.   Sets the maximum FPS value, to which rendering FPS is to be clamped.
    0 - disables FPS clamping. Both VSync, and Max FPS are actually about an additional idle period at the end of the frame. In case of VSync the Engine shall wait for the monitor to draw the whole image, while Max FPS enables you to specify any value for the delay (even a fractional, like 24.5). This clamping limit can be used for both debugging purposes and in the final build as well enabling you to smooth an unstable "jigsaw" framerate. For example, in case FPS jumps between 45 and 90, setting Max FPS to 45 may significantly improve your application's response visually.
Arguments:

0.0f - by default
