What commands you often use in UnrealEd console?

I talk about this:
viewtopic.php?f=5&t=14060

For me it is
MODE SELECTIONLOCK=1
ACTOR SELECT OFCLASS CLASS=...
ACTOR SELECT OFSUBCLASS CLASS=...

What commands you use, for what and in which context?
(This info can help improve UnrealEd v469)

edit actor class =

otherwise I never use it for anything.

These - directly in UnrealEd.ini:

Button39=Mover Key 5,Key5,Actor KEYFRAME NUM=5
Button40=Mover Key 6,Key6,Actor KEYFRAME NUM=6
Button41=Mover Key 7,Key7,Actor KEYFRAME NUM=7

Then
- Set <classname> bSelected 1
- Set <classname> bSelected 0
- Set <classname> <whatever> <value>
The rest are embedded in MapGarbage for preventing me from writing stories all day long (importing All Stock textures, All Stock sounds).

Perhaps I cannot explain all context usage because a forum post is limited in length to not be considered spam.

But I can summarize:
- I'm often call Select None after automatic setup of combo navigation for deselecting them without any click on any point from map;
- I'm often selecting combos actors for being added not before setting up other properties for being placed everywhere when are needed;
- I'm often removing Red Brush Builder because it has no use if map is ready/already build;
- I'm often undefining paths, ordering to last and defining paths - this is preventing junks from being added;
- I'm often checking mover keys - if are not good I'm editing data without to mess with mouse dragging because I'm editing Actor Name not Actor Class;
- and so on.

And... it's place for more buttons limited perhaps by some internal bytes...

If I am making inf and ini files for something that has none, To start with a set of known defaults I use DUMPINT

My fun party trick is MAP GRID X=0.5 Y=0.5 Z=0.5
It switches grid spacing to 0.5 unit.
I am not very fun at parties.

Wow, now that is cool, I thought it could only be as low as 1, thanks for that !!!

Texture cull

... yea thats the only command I know...

[Buggie]

// Texture Culling added by Legend on 4/12/2000
//
// Editor Command: TEXTURE CULL
//
// Build a "ReferencedTextures" list of all textures referenced on surfaces
// (Surfs and Mover Polys). This is the visible texture list.
//
// Then, traverse all polys in the level, eliminating textures that
// are not contained in the ReferencedTextures list.
//
// When the level is saved, all back-facing textures (textures that were
// beling loaded -- consuming memory -- but never visible to the player,
// will have been removed.)
//

that one command to put stuff in MyLevel ...I always forget it and have to look it up.

[Buggie]

Try search here: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=14060. Or on wiki.

[Swanky]

obj load file=whatever.u package=MyLevel
poly texscale uv/vu

that one command to put stuff in MyLevel ...I always forget it and have to look it up.

Because I'm having the same memory problem I implemented this option in MapGarbage and all I'm doing is writing a package name and click on build. Command is created automatically... But I would like to figure any other useful command.
