Command Console

The API includes a command console not originally available in the vanilla game. It can be accessed via CTRL + J. Commands will not run unless a zoo is loaded.

Console limitations to consider as of EMU v1.0.0-alpha.5:

  • The console is only visible in windowed mode and will not be accessible if you are full screen.
  • Console stays ontop of the main game window (in windowed mode) and will stay ontop of other windows if game is minized. If it's obtrusive, close the console with exit.
  • Be careful: Like other shells, CTRL + C will exit the console, but it will also close the game.
