OpenNox console

Enabling all commands

Just like in vanilla Nox, OpenNox starts with most console commands disabled. This is done to prevent cheating in the solo campaign. Most commands will not work in multiplayer, unless you are a server admin/host.

To enable all commands, open the console (F1 by default) and type:

racoiaws

Remote server administration

OpenNox does not support original RCON protocol based on telnet.

Instead, it implements remote console via built-in SSH server.

In the console, each line must start with lua command:

lua apple = Nox.ObjectType("RedApple")

Notice that variables defined in one lua commands can be used in other ones.

It’s also possible to write a multi-line command in a single line:

or

Nox.ObjectType("RedApple"):Create(Nox.Players.host)
