Nightfire commands are used for changing different environments of the game or changing how a player relates to a game. They are split into two types in the game, Command Variables (cvars) and Command Functions. Command Functions are commands that generally operate as on or off switches and Command Variables work as varying the scale of the command, for example mouse sensitivity could be 1.5, 1.6 or 0.5. The higher the number the greater the sensitivity of the mouse is.

All the Nightfire commands below have been split into sections with both Functions and Variables mixed together, so if you are looking for something particular, it should be easier to find. Some commands only work in the single player game for Nightfire, where as other commands will work for both single and multiplayer games. You can use these commands either by typing them into the console and or load them via the Nightfire .cfg files.

Nightfire was built on the Half Life engine so the majority of the commands where used again for the Nightfire game engine. Some commands however where left over so may not work.
