Useful Deadlock commands

Useful console commands in deadlock for practice and having fun with friends etc.

Basic information

How to open console

You can open the console by using F7 by default

How to set up a config file for commands on startup

You can also set up a config file if you have any commands you would like to run automatically on startup, Eg. putting “citadel_unit_status_use_new true” in your config file (without the " ") will make sure you always have the new health bars enabled.

1. In Steam, right click Deadlock and choose properties. In General > Launch Options, add -exec autoexec
   
2. In Steam, right click Deadlock and choose Manage > Browse Local Files. Navigate to game > citadel > cfg. Create a new file called autoexec.cfg.
   
3. Copy paste the commands you wish to run at startup into that config file.

Bonus

Hosting Custom Games

[OUTDATED] but you might still get something out of it / figure our how to get it to work, I'm currently quite busy :(
[DISCLAMER] This section has been shamlessly stolen from https://deadlocked.wiki/Console_commands

• The host starts a custom game by loading into the map with map street_test
  
• You may want to pause the game immediately after joining by pressing P to give other players time to join the match.
  
• The host finds their ID by running status
  
• Find a green line in the console that looks like this: [Client] steamid : [A:1:XXXXXXXXXX:XXXXX] (XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX) (the Xs will be replace with numbers)
  
• Select the part after steamid that looks like this, including the square brackets: [A:1:XXXXXXXXXX:XXXXX]
  
• Right click and choose "Copy Selected Text"
  
• The host sends players the ID they just copied. Players can now connect to the game by opening their console and running connect [A:1:XXXXXXXXXX:XXXXX] (replace the part after connect with the ID they got from the host).
  
• Upon joining, players will be able to select their team and hero. To bring up this menu again, players can run changeteam 0.
  
• If you ever want to restart the game, the host can run changelevel street_test.

Adding Bots

• On the main menu, before you start the game, run exec citadel_botmatch_practice_6v6_hard to load the bot config.
  
• You can replace hard with easy or medium to choose the bot difficulty.
  
• If you're already in a game, you can perform these steps then run changelevel street_test to restart the game instead of starting a new one.
  
• Run citadel_spawn_practice_bots false so that bots won't spawn immediately when the game starts.
  
• Run citadel_spawn_practice_bots_count 12 to ensure that bots fill all remaining slots (they'll be added until both teams have 6 players).
  
• Start the game (i.e. map street_test) and press P to pause the game during the pregame (as soon as you load in).
  
• You can use citadel_pregame_duration before starting the game to increase the duration of the pregame if you want.
  
• Allow all other human players to connect and select their team and hero.
  
• The team/hero menu can be a bit glitchy. Players can use the changeteam command instead (see table above for command description).
  
• Remember to choose your (the host's) own team and hero as well. This may automatically unpause the game - press P after selecting a team to pause again.
  
• After all human players have joined teams and selected heroes, the host runs citadel_spawn_practice_bots true, then presses P again to unpause the game. Bots should fill the remaining slots on each team.
