Basics

<h2 style="clear: both">
Interface
</h2>
<p>
In game, press ESC to access the main menu. From there you can do all sorts of actions,
like joining multiplayer games and changing settings. As example, in the <i>
Team/Player
Setup
</i> submenu, you can choose your team and skin.
</p>
<p>
The menu covers the most important actions. Further customizations and actions can
be done using CubeScript: To get a console press T to open up the chat prompt. You
can use it as console if you put a &ldquo;<span class="code">/</span>&rdquo; (slash)
at its beginning followed by a command. As example, type this command into the console:
</p>
<div class="code">
crosshairsize 25
</div>
<p>
This will increase the size of your crosshair. Check the
<a href="reference.xml#section_Game_Reference">reference</a>
to see all gameplay relevant commands you can use
through CubeScript.
</p>
<p>
Hint: Press F11 to get a bigger console history.
</p>
<h2>
Saving Settings
</h2>
<p>
There is the file <i>defaults.cfg</i> in the <i>config</i> directory. If you run
AssaultCube for the first time it will execute this file. Once you quit AssaultCube,
the default settings and your changes on them will be stored to <i>config/saved.cfg</i>.
If you want to reset your settings to the default values just delete it.
</p>
<p>
Edit the <i>config/autoexec.cfg</i> file and insert scripting commands you want
to execute on every start of the game.
</p>
<h2>
Setting Your Name
</h2>
<p>
Open the console as described above and type the following command:
</p>
<div class="code">
name yourname
</div>
<p>
where <i>yourname</i> is your desired name.
</p>
<h2>
Joining a Game
</h2>
<p>
In game, press ESC and choose <i>Multiplayer &rArr; Refresh Server List</i>. The
masterserver will be queried and provide you with a list of servers. Do so every
few days, to add newly created servers to your list.
</p>
<p>
Once you updated your server list, you can use <i>Multiplayer &rArr; Serverbrowser</i>.
Simply select a server (up-/downarrow) and press return.
</p>
<p>
Alternatively, you can connect to a server directly using this command:
</p>
<div class="code">
connect N P
</div>
<p>
Where N is a valid IP or FQDN and P a password (optional).
