Qube v1.3, DLC v1.0
-used and tested

-why i did that?

i am not a pro gamer, i am older, my timing and my reflexes are a little bit *cough*, so i waste many time and runs to beat only level one and two (3 star challenge), but i would play all level in a finite time interval - the max payne bullet time idea was born.
backup files (safety first)
1. we backup the relevant ini files

-go to ...\Steam\SteamApps\common\QUBE\Engine\Config
-backup the baseinput.ini
-go to ...\Steam\SteamApps\common\QUBE\UDKGame\Config
-backup the udkinput.ini and the udkgame.ini
console
-go to ...\Steam\SteamApps\common\QUBE\Engine\Config
-open baseinput.ini
-search this phrase:

[Engine.Console]
;ConsoleKey=Tilde
;TypeKey=Tab

-delete the ; to this

[Engine.Console]
ConsoleKey=Tilde
TypeKey=Tab

-save the ini
one click level restart
-go to ...\Steam\SteamApps\common\QUBE\Engine\Config
-open baseinput.ini
-search [Engine.PlayerInput] and there the ; --- General bindings section

-The command line is:

Bindings=(Name="H",Command="RestartLevel")

-save the ini

-you have now ingame a directly restart, when you press H

[Hint]
H is only a example, you can use a other key

[Edit]
after a Patch (may 2014), you must go a other way:

-go to ...\Steam\SteamApps\common\QUBE\UDKGame\Config
-open udkgame.ini
-search [UTGame.UTPlayerInput]
- write there a new command line (without this break after Bindings=):

Bindings=(Name="H",Command="RestartLevel",Control=False,Shift=False,Alt=False,bIgnoreCtrl=False,bIgnoreShift=False,bIgnoreAlt=False)

-save the ini

[Edit 2]
new install (30 may 2014), i have now a new, old ini build here. game is fixed, but not patched (old installations), i think. so you have a new installation, finde, do this:

-go to ...\Steam\SteamApps\common\QUBE\UDKGame\Config
-open udkinput.ini
-search [Engine.PlayerInput]
-write this command line in this section:

Bindings=(Name="H",Command="RestartLevel")

-save the ini

[hint]
i think the same works in baeinput.ini.

slow motion
[Hint - this works, but it is a older way, use Edit or Edit 2]
-slomo is the command for slow motion, <1 = slow motion, 1 = normal speed, >1 = higher speed
-the parameter is a example, you can use a other
-the keys are examples, you can use other keys
-you must not save the game, this commands working directly
-you can overwrite the commands with other parameters

this is not cheating, you can play the achievements and leaderboard

[Warning]
it give no unbind key command, but you can overwrite the function


-start the game, load a level
-press tab to open the console

[two keys option]

-write this commands in it:

setbind G "slomo 0.2"
setbind J "slomo 1.0"

-now you have slow motion, when you press G and normal speed, when you press J

[one key option]

-write this command in it:

setbind G "slomo 0.2 | onrelease slomo 1.0"

-now you have slow motion, when you press AND hold G, you release G, you have normal speed.


[Edit]
after a Patch (may 2014), you must go a other way:

-go to ...\Steam\SteamApps\common\QUBE\UDKGame\Config
-open udkgame.ini
-search [UTGame.UTPlayerInput]
- write there a new command line (without this break in this line):

Bindings=(Name="G",Command="slomo 0.2",Control=False,Shift=False,Alt=False,bIgnoreCtrl=False,bIgnoreShift=False,bIgnoreAlt=False)
Bindings=(Name="J",Command="slomo 1.0",Control=False,Shift=False,Alt=False,bIgnoreCtrl=False,bIgnoreShift=False,bIgnoreAlt=False)

-save the ini

[Edit2]
new install (30 may 2014), i have now a new, old ini build here. game is fixed, but not patched (old installations), i think. so you have a new installation, fine, do this:

-go to...\Steam\SteamApps\common\QUBE\UDKGame\Config
-open udkinput.ini
-search [Engine.PlayerInput]
-write this command line in this section:

Bindings=(Name="G",Command="slomo 0.2")
Bindings=(Name="J",Command="slomo 1.0")

or

Bindings=(Name="G",Command="slomo 0.2 | onrelease slomo 1.0")


[hint]
i think the same works in baeinput.ini.
mouse usability hint
-you use a 5 button mouse, bind the slow motion function on it

-you can use the mouse driver software, to bin the keyboard keys on the mouse buttons (program specific)

or

-you setbind the mouse button directly, here is it ThumbMouseButton and ThumbMouseButton2
ingame problems
-it give level parts, they dont work with slow motion on, so you stuck, turn it particular off and see what happen

example:

level time bomb
- you kick the last ball with the yellow part, the ball dont destroy the broken cube = no pickup

level ruin rush
-after the flying balls trap, you jump in a tunnel over a small abyss (ventilator part) , is it on, you fall down

level space race
-last long jump passage, is it on, you can not hit the last blue bumper
