Console commands (Fallout 3)/Debugging

An overview of console commands relating to debugging

Overview
The console is a debugging tool in the PC version of Fallout 3. It is used for altering content while in-game. In order to access the console, you will need to use the key appropriate for your language. See full list here. You can scroll through the console's history with the keyboard's Page Up key, and scroll back down with the Page Down key.

Mapping

 * - Fully activates all Pip-Boy map markers, making them both visible on the map and available as fast travel destinations. Note, however, that it does not update the "locations discovered" statistic in the Pip-Boy 3000.
 * - Toggles fog-of-war in the Pip-Boy local map.
 * - Toggles "god mode" which gives the player invincibility to damage, radiation and oxygen underwater. It also gives unlimited ammo, carrying capacity and AP (reloading does use AP with some weapons) and stops item degradation.
 * -Fallout New Vegas Only- Toggles "demi-god" mode which gives invincibility to damage but not unlimited ammo, almost like god mode
 * - Toggles clipping, which enables the player to move in any direction, including through solid objects and/or empty space. (A.K.A. "noclip"). It allows you to "fly" over an area and view it or get unstuck from a location.
 * - Kills all NPCs and creatures in the area.
 * - Teleports the player to the specified cell.
 * - Writes console output to the specified file.
 * - Executes specified list of commands as defined by a text file (.txt)
 * - Clear console texts. Similar to Command Prompt's command.

Batch examples
To create a batch file all you need to do is place a plain text file with the commands you wish to execute in the root directory of the game - the same folder that contains falloutlauncher.exe.


 * This example file allows you to experience the game as if you were a very powerful superhero (or supervillain). By executing this list you will (in this order) Save the game, Toggle God Mode, Toggle Clipping Mode, Increase Running Speed (though not to an insane amount), Increase Speech skill to max, Show all map markers, Toggle fog-of-war, Add fun weapons and ammo (Alien Blaster, Fat Man, Experimental MIRV, Lincoln's Repeater and Frag Grenades). To execute these commands, you would type


 * ---FuturePlayer.txt---


 * This prevents traders Doc Hoff, Crow, Lucky Harith and Crazy Wolfgang from dying, and if they are already dead, this will resurrect them - the caravan guards and Brahmin will still be vulnerable. Using allows the traders to fully repair armor and weapons. To execute the command, you would type


 * ---Traders.txt---


 * This will help players on low-RAM PCs that experience extreme lag when switching from an indoors area to outdoors or vice versa. To execute the script, type


 * (I experienced 20-30 FPS improvement when using this)


 * ---RAMClear.txt---
