Menu Instructions

All the menu's in Unloaded are fully maneuverable by either the mouse or the keyboard.

  • Press Escape to bring the main menu up.
    • Mouse Instructions:
      • Select a category from the top (Game, Options, Audio/Video, Quit) using the mouse and left-click on a button.
      • Use the mouse to move down the list of options from the submenus and left-click on an option you wish to change.
    • Keyboard Instructions:
      • Select a category from the top by typing in the first letter of the button (Game, Options, Audio/Video, Quit)
      • When in a submenu use the up and down arrow keys to select the different options and Left/Right/Enter to change the option.
  • Or you may use a combination of mouse and keyboard controls.

The menu allows you to change some Game aspects through the game menu that were never before available in Unloaded. The biggest addition is the "Camera" options. Due to popular demand, you can now set the camera to:

  • Clip to the Celing (So you are never blocked by a ledge or overhang)
  • Rotate with Player (So the level seems to be moving under the player and not the player moving on top. Provides an excellent effect in some levels)
  • Debug mode (Allows you to view some details about the camera, only really important if you are doing debugging)
  • Manual Zoom (The default camera style, allows you to zoom in and out with the Z and W keys)
  • AutoZoom (This camera style zooms in when you are close to pawns, and zooms out when not)

 

Note, the menu mouse cursor will not work outside of FullScreen exclusive mode.

 

Console Commands

Most console commands are available to you from the Menu's. If you are having trouble loading the menu's, here are a few good commands to know:

  • Exit (exits unreal)
  • God (enables god mode)
  • SetCamStyle # (changes the camera style)
  • SetCamEffect # (changes the camera effect)

 

There is also at least one secret console command. Can you find out what it is? Beat the game and find out.
