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.

    When enabled, async buffers are created only once and then synchronized reducing the time on allocating and freeing memory. When disabled, both async buffer and async buffer for indices are created anew. This reduces the number of buffer synchronizations but increases the number of memory allocations. Sometimes (depending on the hardware/driver used, e.g. when the main thread is affected by sychronization primitives in other threads) memory allocation may be faster than synchronizations, in such cases, when streaming becomes unacceptably slow, it is recommended to disable buffer synchronization.

0 - disabled

render_screen_space_shadow_shafts_mode
Description:
  • Variable.   Prints the current rendering mode for volumetric screen-space shadow shafts.

When disabled, shadow edges are crisp and sharp (no shadow softness at all).
    Notice
    You can set penumbra quality mode or disable penumbra rendering for each light source individually. But these per-light quality settings are ignored when global quality is set to Disabled.

    • 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.

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

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
5 - by default

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.

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; inf] - available range
0.0f - by default
render_max_num_active_targets
Description:
  • Variable.   Prints the current maximum number of active morph targets (blend shapes) of the surface that can be blended instantaneously.
