loading		?????
sizeup		add 10 to cvar viewsize
sizedown		subtract 10 from cvar viewsize
sky	basename <rotate> <x y z>	Set a sky. Optionally, set a rotate speed and axis of rotation. This command calls the re.SetSky function
+turnleft		These commands are equivalent to the corresponding keypresses. The + command means keydown, and – means keyup. For instance, the +turnleft command will start the camera spinning and the -turnleft will stop the camera spinning. These commands are implemented as stubs which call the KeyDown function, for example: void IN_TurnLeftDown(void) {KeyDown(&in_turnleft);}
-turnleft
+turnright
-turnright
+shiftleft
-shiftleft
+shiftright
-shiftright
+shiftup
-shiftup
+shiftdown
-shiftdown
+zoomin
-zoomin
+zoomout
-zoomout
impulse	integer	assigns value to global int in_impulse, but I don't know what in_impulse does
+select		select is typically the left mouse button. If mouseSpace==MS_WORLD then selects an actor, else executes a menu click (MN_Click). Note that mx and my are global variables for the mouse position.
-select
action		if mouse is in the MS_WORLD, then execute the CL_ActorActionMouse function
turn		turn actor to face towards the mouse pointer
standcrouch		obvious
firerp		Fire weapon, left or right (l/r), primary or secondary modes (p/s)
firers
firelp
firels
reloadleft		reload weapon
reloadright		reload weapon
nextround		End turn.
levelup		change view levels, ie roofs/floors.
leveldown		change view levels, ie roofs/floors.
zoominquant		Quantized zoom in and out
zoomoutquant		Quantized zoom in and out
cameramode		first person hack, only in my version /a.h./
mn_push	menu_name	push menu onto the menu stack, if the menu is already on the stack then move it to the top
mn_pop		???
mn_modify		???
givename	gender country [num]	prints an actor name on the console
gennames		BAD COMMAND NAME! This function resets the team's inventory, disconnects from the game, generates a new set of characters
genequip		reset all the soldiers' equipment
team_mark		used with the team menu to mark currently selected team members
team_hire	num	add/remove actor num from team
team_select	num	All implemented by the CL_SelectCmd function. These commands are used in the xxx screen. Basically, this command generates three commands depending on which version it is (team, equip, or hud) for instance, hud_select 7 would issue the commands: huddeselect7, hudselect7, and then changes the cl_selected cvar to 7.
equip_select	num
hud_select	num
team_changename		sets the mn_name cvar to the name of the selected actor
saveteam	filename	save team to $GAMEDIR/save/filename.mpt
loadteam	filename	load team from $GAMEDIR/save/filename.mpt
msgmenu		??? related to the messagemenu command
game_new		Obviously this matches the button on the first menu. It resets the characters. Sets the following variables: cvar mn_main=”singleplayer”, cvar mn_active=”map”, name=”campaign”. Sets curCampaign to the campaign with name, then sets the team, credits, equipment, market and missions pointers.
game_continue		continue an existing game or load the last saved game
game_exit		issues the disconnect command, curCampaign=NULL
game_save	filename comment	comment is optional
game_load	filename	load game
game_comments		set cvars mn_slot1, mn_slot2, ... , mn_slot7 with the comments from saved games named slot1.sav, slot2.sav, etc
game_go		go on the selected mission
game_abort		Let the aliens win. Executes this command: “sv win 7”. The aliens are team 7
game_results		Do end of mission stuff: add credits, remove dead actors, change equipment, add recruits, deselect the mission, etc.
buy_type		Used only in the Equip menu. Changes between primary and secondary equipment lists.
buy_select	num	Select item num in the equipment buy/sell menu
mn_buy	num	Buy one of item #num
mn_sell	num	Sell one of item #num
cmd		AFAIK, these functions are unused in UFOAI TD1. Most are harmless, but snd_restart might be a problem.
pause
pingservers
snd_restart
userinfo		show some information about you, the user
changing		this function pops the console up, disables sound and screen when changing maps. It isn't strictly required.
disconnect		disconnect from the quake2 server. Only works in a mission.
quit		Clean shutdown.
connect		Connect to the quake2 server
reconnect		reconnect to the quake2 server
rcon	command	remote console command
setenv	variable variable=value	In the first form, shows the value of the given environment variable (stdlib getenv). In the second form, adds the variable to the environment.
precache	num	sent by the server to the client before allowing the client onto a map. Instructs the client to start caching models and skins.
download	filename	Client command. Request that the server send filename.
seq_start	filename	start a non-interactive sequence (quake movie)
seq_end		end the non-interactive sequence (quake movie)
wave		These commands are defined, but not connected to any functions. This does two things: it allows command completion to work, and the unknown commands are automatically forwarded to the server. As far as I can tell, the UFOAI TD1 server doesn't implement any of these commands.

The previous commands were all created within the Qcommon_Init function, and its subroutines such as Cmd_Init, Key_Init, CL_Init and so on. Those console commands were created explicitly using the Cmd_AddCommand function, for example:

common.c:1803  Cmd_AddCommand ("z_stats", Z_Stats_f);
common.c:1804  Cmd_AddCommand ("error", Com_Error_f);

But the subsequent commands are different. These command are created by the UFOAI scripting system.based on definitions in the base/ufos directory. For instance, this piece of script from base/ufos/

        confunc buyselect0  { buy_clear *txt_item0  color "1 1 1 1" }
        confunc buyselect1  { buy_clear *txt_item1  color "1 1 1 1" }
        confunc buyselect2  { buy_clear *txt_item2  color "1 1 1 1" }
... deletia ...
        confunc buyselect27 { buy_clear *txt_item27 color "1 1 1 1" }

defines the buyselect[0-27] commands. This is pretty convoluted. The confunc keyword defines this function as a console function, as opposed to the function keyword which defines a function which is only accessible through the scripting system. The actual creation of the command is done in the MN_ParseNodeBody function, by this chunk of code:

        if ( node->type == MN_CONFUNC || node->type == MN_FUNC )
        {
                menuAction_t **action;

                // add new actions to end of list
                action = &node->click;
                for ( ; *action; action = &(*action)->next );

                *action = &menuActions[numActions++];
                memset( *action, 0, sizeof(menuAction_t) );

                if ( node->type == MN_CONFUNC )
                        Cmd_AddCommand( node->name, MN_Command );

                return MN_ParseAction( *action, text, token );
        }

That last call to MN_ParseAction is important, because that is where the scripting system reads in what the function does (its action).Note that all such scripted functions are handled by the same handler_function, MN_Command. When one of these scripted commands is executed, MN_Command searches through the list of menu nodes until it finds the node with the same node name. Then it looks at the rest of the menu node data to find out what it should do. There are a limited number of things that MN_Command can do: nothing, execute a command, call another function, or set a property. Let's have another look at that first script confunc definition:

        confunc buyselect0  { buy_clear *txt_item0  color "1 1 1 1" }

In this case, the name of the node is buyselect0. The fields within braces describe an action. buy_clear is a previously defined script function, so the buyselect0 console function calls the buy_clear script function. The *txt_item0 token specifies a node named txt_item0 and color is the node property. “1 1 1 1” is the value of the property. So this function changes the color property of txt_item0
