The Nexuiz console

The console is used to display chat and command history, server messages and to manually type in commands.
(Alternatively, you can write the commands directly into autoexec.cfg in your data directory. This will be executed every time you launch Nexuiz)
Press shift + esc (or ~) to open the console.

See Advanced Console Scripting for an advanced usage of the console.
