Tools

• CE Table by K-Putt and Jim2point0 merged with Sunbeam console unlocker
  Features: Camera control, tilt, unrestrict CVars and console commands.

Setup

First, you will need to check if you can access the in-game console once you have started the game and hooked the CT to the game process. To test, press the ~ key on your keyboard. If the console doesn't appear, add +com_allowConsole 1 as a launch option via Steam then try again. This should do it.

Be sure to activate Unrestrict CVars and Enable stripped console commands by clicking on the box next to those entries. Without them, some of the commands in the next section of the guide are not going to be applied.

Making a custom config

To make tweaking the game easier, we are going to make a custom configuration file that can be executed at each start of the game. Depending on your hardware, especially CPU and GPU, you might have to modify some of the variables in the commands below.

Save the commands in a new file that you could by example call WolfCustomCfg.cfg in \steamapps\common\Wolfenstein The Old Blood\base or C:\Users\<UserName>\Saved Games\MachineGames\Wolfenstein The Old Blood\base

vt_restart 

To apply this configuration, open the in-game console and type exec [yourconfigname].cfg. Alternatively, you can bind this command to a key so you can execute the configuration without having to open the console.

bind "F11" "exec [yourconfigname].cfg"

About the commands

The commands starting with vt_pageimagesize increase the texture data stored in the VRAM. If you have 4GB or less, 8192 is recommended. Changing the vt_pageimagesizevmtr above 16384 could lead to a game crash.

For CPUs with 2 and 4 cores without hyperthreading, the vt_maxPPF should be set to 8. For CPUs above 4 cores and those with hyperthreading, you can go up to 64 or 128. Valid settings are: 8, 16, 32, 64 and 128.

Any change made to a vt_ variable will require a restart.

Enabling more commands

Some default commands are already available, but are not working as intended. Add this set of keybinds to a file called keybinds.cfg in your game directory. By doing exec keybinds.cfg via the console, they will be permanently written to the correct file and postion. You will only need to do this once.

bind "F1" "toggle g_showhud;toggle hands_show"
bind "F2" "toggle ai_enable"
bind "F3" "timescale 0.2"
bind "F4" "timescale 1"
bind "F6" "toggle g_freecam"
bind "F7" "cvarRandom g_stopTime 1 1"
bind "F8" "cvarRandom g_stopTime 0 0"
bind "KP_PLUS" "cvaradd g_fov 1, "
bind "KP_MINUS" "cvaradd g_fov -1"
bind "F12" "devgui 1"

About the free camera and keybinds

The free camera allows you to move without moving the player from his initial position. FOV and tilt are not available in this mode. Only forward, backward, left and right movements can be done. Camera up and down are also available.

Controls

Some of these require the keybinds.cfg file from earlier to have been executed.

Tips and Tricks

It's possible to skip one frame ahead while fully timestopped. To do this, stop the game and press F12 to enter the dev GUI. Using a gamepad, press X and go to Time Control. Press D then Advance Time One Frame When Stopped. You can also bind g_runframes 1 to an available key.

Removing the post-processing via r_skippostprocess 1 will also disable the in-game DOF. This can give you better image quality.
