This tutorial lists many commonly known and used commands and cheats for Jedi Academy and Outcast. This will be split into most commonly used commands and cheats in singleplayer and multiplayer of Jedi Academy. Many of these will work between Jedi Outcast and Academy but definitely not all.

The list in the SP section can be used, but not all will work the same. These are directly related to .skin files in model folders; press TAB to make your changes apply on your end char_color_red 0-255 - set number for red for models that support RGB color tinting. (Hint: for black, set all 3 of these to 40) char_color_green 0-255 - set number for green for models that support RGB color tinting.

Values are always in the negatives, with 0 (off) being the default. Experiment with this setting depending on your ping/connection. -20 is a good setting for a 60-70 ping, -30 for 100 ping, etc. If the enemies are too choppy for you, keep this at 0. cl_maxpackets - generally you'll want this at 100; if you're struggling for a decent ping, you might want to try 30 - 50 com_maxfps - Set to 120 for optimal play; this caps your framerate; strange physics algorithm in the q3 engine makes it so your characters will have the best possible movement/gravity at a constant 120fps; strafe jumps, for example, go the longest and highest when fps is capped at this magic number. The default value is 85. cg_drawfps 1 - displays your FPS in the top right in real time r_fastsky 1 - only use this if you need some more FPS or just want a black sky cg_drawtimer 1 - show the amount of time the map has been running Emotes meditate gloat flourish bow taunt Demos record - records a demo (not a video); use with name of demo file you want (record example) g_synchronousclients 1 - must be set to 1 to record demos stoprecord - stops recording the demo; play demos in the main menu RCON & Host Commands A full guide to RCON commands Enabling dismemberment You can change a lot of the g_ commands found in this list when logged in as RCON on your own server.
