This is the full list of the commands for the latest version of the mod (#304). It will cover all the commands' usage with -sometimes- some technical explaination with it to help you understand them. The mod might require a bit of learning first, but becomes pretty easy once you get used to it.
THIS NOT A CINEMATIC GUIDE!! Only the commands will be explained here, but not all the recording process. This list is just here to help you using and understanding the commands, but the way you want to use them is all up to you.
/noclip2 : Toggles "noclip" mode on and off /clone : Spawns a clone of yourself /clearbodies : Deletes all dead bodies /actorback : Resets all actors to previous state /mvm_score SCORE : Changes score per kill (default 5) /mvm_killstreak NAME : Grants you a killstreak (see killstreaks list) /mvm_give WEAPON CAMO : Gives weapon (see weapons & camos list) /mvm_throwgun [1/0] : Toggles MW2019-style weapon gravity on death (experimental) /ui_mw3popup [1/0] : Enables IW5-style screen popups on kill /ui_showActorNames [1/0] : Hide or show names of actors when looking at them /testClients_ commands : Collection of commands for bots (shoot, crouch, move, etc...) /test_ commands : Collection of random commands, try them yourself
Bots are what they are, no need to explain. They have no AI. Note that bot commands work on yourself aswell.
/mvm_bot_spawn Class Team
This command allows you to spawn... a bot. Who would have thought?
Their weapon will get random camos/attachment by default. Snipers won't get random attachments
If you want your bots with stock weapons, set /mvm_bot_customweapons to 0

HOWEVER, the bots have to be killed with the mvm_bot_kill command for this to work.
Image example : /mvm_bot_holdgun
Actors, unlike bots/players, are just models that you can spawn and use animations on. They're not replacing bots, both are good in their own way.
They're usually used because they can play a very specific animation, aswell as Singleplayer ones (c.f "SP Animations w/ Actors")
Keep in mind that actors can be a little difficult to learn, especially at the beginning! But they can be worth the effort once you got the hang of it.
What is precache ? : In order to use actors, you will need to edit this file. This will tell the game which animations and models you're going to use. The game limits the amount of precache you can put. Trying to put too much precache can cause overflows. Knowing this, consider using the least precache as possible. Somewhere between 20-30 lines should be your max.
How does it work : Animations will always need to be precached, using `precacheMPAnim("NameOfTheAnimation");` Regular playermodels do not need precache; Only singleplayer ones do. (c.f "SP Animations w/ Actors") Here are the list of every MP animation. You will need to precache them in order to use them. You can find more technical details in the _precache.gsc file itself.
/mvm_actor_spawn Body Head (Anim)
This command with spawn an actor with provided models.
(Anim) is optional, and it will spawn your actor directly with a certain animation.

I can't recommend this enough : Learn how to use actors until you're comfortable with them before trying SP animations. Seriously. You should absolutely experiment with 'normal' actors atleast a few times before you get into this, so you can understand how they work. At the end of the day I'm not your dad so do whatever you want. But don't give me s#*t because you have no idea of what you're doing. You've been warned
About ZoneBuilder : ZoneBuilder is essentially an assets compiler for MW2; It's a tool designed for the implementation of custom assets. But it is also capable to "repack" assets already existing in the game, which is the case of the animations/models from the Singleplayer campaign.
Installing ZoneBuilder (React & IW4x) : - If you're using ReactIW4, you can download ZB here. Simply extract the archive's content in your MW2 directory. - If you're using IW4x, ZB is already fully integrated in the client's .exe. To start it, start iw4x.exe with the "-zonebuilder" argument (with a shortcut for example).
Use your basic brain and eyeballs functions to open ZoneBuilder.exe.
If you didn't mess anything up, a console should appear like that -->
Now you need to have somewhat of an idea of the anims you want, but no need to ask me "hey dude where I can find that anim ?" because I'm not Wikipedia and I'm not inside your head.
If you know the SP mission the anim you want is from, you can search for the file name in the MW2/zone/english folder and take a wild guess.
If you don't know where to start, you can use ending.ff which is the Museum mission; it got a bit of everything. That's the file I'm going to use in this tutorial anyway.
For the next step, type in the fastfile you want to load like so : loadzone NameOfFastFile
Make sure you do NOT type the file extension !!
- If you're using the legacy ZB tool (React), a message saying "Loaded!" will pop up if you've done this right.
- If you're using IW4x, you won't see such a message, but the fastfile is loaded as soon as you enter the command. If you didn't get any error message or crash, it means it loaded successfully.
Next, go in your MW2/zone_source folder (create it if it doesn't exist already).
You will need to create a .csv file inside that folder. For that , you can create a .txt file, and change the file extension to.csv
This is the file where we will put the different assets we want to compile in our own custom Fastfile.
Keep in mind that .csv files are very strict : During the next steps, DO NOT leave blank lines or comments. The file needs to be squeaky clean.
Singleplayer animations can only be played on Singleplayer models !!
SP and MP models are using a different bones structure around the spine, which causes them to break if interchanged. So, if you want to use SP anims, you need SP models first.
To get the list of the models, type listassets xmodel in the ZB console.
- If you're using the legacy ZB tool (React), a file called "assets.txt" will be created, containing all the models
- If you're using IW4x, go in your userraw/log folder, and open the latest console_mp.log file
Now, you need to add the models you want in your .csv file using this format : xmodel,NameOfTheModel
You need to put every model on a new line. Make sure to not put too much in the file either; A limit of 30-40 assets should be your limit *(in total, so that means WITH the animations we'll put in later)
Here's what my example file looks like :
This time, typelistassets xanim in the ZB console. Then reopen your assets.txt/console_log.log file, and put the animations you want in your .csv file
Keep in mind that all the anims that start with "viewmodel_" are first person animations. Usually the animation's names are pretty explicit. Just don't be stupid and use viewmodel_ or vehicle/props animations...
Here's what my example file looks like :
Once you're happy with your .csv file, type buildzone NameOfTheCsv in the ZB console. If you didn't get any error message or crash while doing so, congratulations, you've made it!
Next step is to add the models and animations from the .csv to your precache, using precacheModel("modelname"); and precacheMPAnim("animname");.
Once you've done that, take the FastFile you created (you can find it in your "zone" folder), rename it to mod.ff and put it in your mods/YourModName folder. Voila!
Camera commands are now obosolete since the release of luckyy's IW4MVM tool. However, they're still usable and well so they're part of this documentation anyway.
/mvm_cam_save Node
