Useful Console Commands (FOV, Low Gravity, etc...)
By Chu'
A guide that details useful console commands that can be used in Snow. The commands can range from changing your FOV or binding keys to changing the timeofday or sun etc. These commands can used to create awesome screenshots or just improve your gameplay.

Opening the Console
Opening the console can be done easily in game by pressing tilde key (~). This is where the commands will be entered.
alternatively you can enter these console commands in your system.cfg file found in [steam folder]/steamapps/common/SNOW/. This will excute the commands on startup, useful for the FOV and borderless window commands.

NOTE:
After entering certain commands the game may prompt you telling you that your score (for that specific run) will be void by using this command, After clicking yes you may have re-enter the command.
Gameplay Changing Commands (BIND, FOV)
FOV

UPDATE M1:
The developers have implemented a new command to change the field of view. the new command is

cl_camfieldofview *value*

The default is 70, however you may enter higher for example 90 would give you a much wider angle to view the game at.

Example entering a value of 120:
Compared to the normal:

cl_camdetachedfieldofview *value*

This will change the field of view of the detached camera (accessible by pressing g), Can be used to add a cool fish eye effect in game.

cl_camdetachedfieldofview 120

Finally you can enable free look by entering the command
cl_cammouselook 1

So field of view is particulaly useful for playing in first person; and using console commands to change your field of view can assist you. Use the following commands

cl_camfieldofviewmin *value*
cl_camfieldofviewmax *value*

I would reccomend changing them both to the same value. It is very important you change cl_camfieldofviewmin because it seems to have the most effect.


Bind

You can use bind to bind specific keys to console commands. I can't seem to do anything useful with it at the moment. But I will toss it in here anyway. Here is how:

bind '*key*' *command*

You would replace *key* with your key of choice e.g. k. And command with your command of choice

Examples

bind 'k' e_screenshot 1

This would bind the key k to use the e_screenshot function to create some wierd looking screenshots. (we will get to that later)
Binding to xbox controls is also possible
See full list of bindable keys Here[freesdk.crydev.net]
Rendering/Graphic Changes
Borderless Window

I can't seem to remember if this function is in game. Anyway all you have to do is enter

r_FullscreenWindow 1

In console or add it to your system config file. Allows for seemless alt-tabbing etc.
NOTE:
r_height *value*
r_width *value*
to change the resolution if it is inccorrect.

Vsync

r_vsync (0/1)

Mostly selfexplanitory. 0 is off, 1 is on!

Motion blur/Depth of field etc.

These are mostly quick and easy, you can change them to your liking for performance or taking cool screenshots.

r_motionblur (0/1/2/3)

0: Disabled(?)
1: camera motion blur
2: camera and object motion blur
3: debug mode

r_depthoffield (0/1/2)

0:Disabled
1:Enabled
2:Enabled based on time of day (HDR)

r_unlit (0/1)
0:Default
1:Renders the game without any lighting effects (?)

r_glow (0/1)
A glow effect, very minor
0:Disabled
1:Enabled

World Changes
Map

Using the very self-describing command of Map you can change the map. Although there is not much fun to be had with this at the moment

Map (sialia/tutoriallevel/frontend)

Sialia is the the main mountain
Tutorial level is the tutorial
Frontend is the title screen

Time of day and other functions
So night skiing is one of the most exhilarating Activities. And now you can Acomplish it in snow!.

Anyway lets get started shall we?

e_timeofday (0 - 24)

By changing the value of the number we are able to jump around to various times of the day. The value represents an hour of the 24 hour clock, 0 being midnight and 23 being 11 pm. Changing it to 6 will set the in game time to 6am, this is about sunrise in game. Changing it to 16 will set the in game time to 4 pm, this is about sunset in game. Both sunrise and sunset are beautiful in this game; and night skiing at the park is quite enjoyable! Experiment with the times!

e_timeofday 0

e_timeofday 6

e_timeofday 6.5

e_timeofday 16

If you would like the time of day to remain the same just use:

e_timeofdayspeed 0

The Sun and Clouds
Okay let's say you would like to turn off the sun cause you hate wearing sunglasses or whatever. You have your reasons, I am not here to judge. Anyway before you decide to do this you have to understand a couple of things, turning off the sun is probably going to destroy the world. The second it turns off its going to get very cold very quickly; things are going to start freezing that you probably didn't even know could freeze. And without a all of the planets in the solar system will be sent flying off into space. Nothing to hold us down. As the earth starts to freeze over chaos ensues, the global economy wil collaspe, Countries will start finger pointing and some will even try to start war in the last few precious moments of humanity. Vegatation would die rather quickly with no sunlight to give them the energy they need. Then the wildlife would start to die off with no bottom of the food chain to hold the ecosystem intact. And then the humans, if we were smart enough, and worked together we might be able to survive off of heat from the planets core, or possibly nuclear energy. We are that smart, but we are also chaotic, deep down inside we are still just scared animals trying to survive in an ecosystem that didn't. So, I can't say for certain what will happen to humanity, as we panic because our precious world is thrown into darkness. Now that you read that would you still like to turn off the sun? Do you still hate sunglasses that much? Yes? Okay well:

e_sun (0/1)

0:enabled
1:disabled

e_sun 0
e_sun 1

Similarly you can turn clouds on and off, however this command may have no effect in game, I can't tell:

e_clouds (0/1)

0:on
1:off

And finally trees can be turned on and off by using
e_vegetation (0/1)
0:no trees
1:trees

However this command just makes them invisible.

Fun/Misc
Low Gravity
Low gravity is quite easy to acomplish in SNOW and will allow you to nail some cool tricks.

p_gravity_z (-9.31 - 0)

The number in that command represents the force applied to the player. -9.31 is the default, lowering the number past -9.31 will increase the amount of force applied, making it hard to jump. Setting the number betwen -9.31 and 0 will give you lower gravity, the closer the number is to 0 the lower the gravity. I reccommend -2. Don't set the number at 0 or above, this crashes the game.

Example:
p_gravity_z -2

Fly modes
So there is two different flymodes in game, both quite different from each other in function. Here is the first one:

p_fly_mode (0/1)

0:disabled
1:enabled

This is a weird sort of fly mode. After entering the command your player will hover slightly off of the ground, it will behave like he is mid-air, and yet he will go down the hill like normal. You cannot turn while skiing in this mode.

Example:

The second version of fly mode allows your player to move freely around the world without the restrictions of gravity. This is the same command as pressing F3 on key board.

pl_flymode (0/1)
0:Disabled
1:Enabled

Examples:
pl_flymode 1

Freeze
The Freeze command will freeze the player in place doing whatever he is doing. This is the same effect as pressing f on the keyboard. People that play with a controller I recommend you bind this to a button. That way you can pause mid trick to get cool screenshots.

pl_freeze (0/1)
0: Disabled
1: Enabled

Pressing G will put you in freecam mode, use this function and g together to get some cool screenshots.

Slow/fast Mo Mode
Slow mode mode is a very cool effect when acomplished in SNOW. I can be done easily by entering 1 command.

t_scale *value*

By changing the value will change the speed of the passage of time in game. 1 is the default. So it can be assumed that by entering a value above 1 will speed up the passage of time (Untested) And entering a value below 1 it will slow down the passage of time. A value of 0.5 will have time passing at 1/2 speed. A value of 0.25 will have time passing at 1/4 speed.
Conclusion
Thanks for reading my guide. I recommend you experiment with all of the commands to get some cool functions out of your game. I will update the guide whenever I stumble across something else thats useful. Sorry about any spelling mistakes in the guide, I ended up writing it very late last night.

NONE OF THESE WORK IN NEW BETA.
Sadly these dont work. The game creators of snow are making there game not as fun by taking out speed glitches. they even took out consol commands. i dont know why they would do this. this game is very fun but its getting less fun with none of these cool commands or glitches. they should have kept these things like in the game Skate 3, which is a very fun game with funny mechanics and awesome glitches that they are keeping UNPURPOSE. this game is fun but they need to bring at least the console commands back in free mode.:steamfacepalm:
