It was originally meant to be used and to have its functions extended for each game, but it has never been really used and only few basic commands are present. Island Wars 2 contains remnants of this idea, with few commands specific to it.
Accessing[]
On builds of the games based on the original UveDX8 or on UveXX if the build was made before November 2010, it can be accessed through pressing both Shift and the tilda key (~) at once. In UveUDX and later versions, it depends on the "rel" value, which can only be changed with the Cheat Engine. Island Wars 2 has the "UVE console ready." message pop up when it is enabled.
Commands[]
Currently there are 9 known commands (technically 11). Any other command will result in an "Unknown command: [command]" message showing up. Certain games may not have some of the commands listed.
fps (number) - sets the fps to the presented number. The command takes the frame duration in seconds, so for example putting in 0.05 will result in the fps being set to 20 (one frame per 50 milliseconds or 0.05 seconds).
debug (number) [other games]; d (number) [Universe] - allows you to access Debug Modes.
fontcache (number) - sets font cache.
crash - causes the game to crash on request, with an error message popping up. Not present in Smileyville and Loco.
rel (number) - allows access to an expanded set of Cheats, the console itself (since Cluck of the Dark Side and some networking info (Universe only). Present since Piggly's release.
crash2 [other games]; crashhard [Universe] - crashes the game without an error. Present since Ultimate Omelette.
detail - sets the detail level. Only present in Revenge of the Yolk, before update 3.63.
lllog - Universe only, it only prints "Low level log: " in the console when used.
aidebug (number) - Island Wars 2-exclusive command, shows the enemy's priorities for behavior and, in case of the AI controlling a plane, the position it will travel to. Similar stuff is included in default Debug Modes in the later games.
slomo (number) - Island Wars 2-exclusive command, slows the game down or speeds it up, for example entering 2 will make it twice as fast. In Revenge of the Yolk and Loco it has no effect, and in Smileyville it crashes the game. Replaced in UveXX with the F10 and F11 cheats.
Gallery[]
The debug console enabled in Universe. In Chicken Invaders games, the console also logs certain stuff, such as connecting to a server, wave changes, etc.
The debug console in Island Wars 2, the first game to have this feature. A preset message called "UVE console ready." shows up here which doesn't happen in Revenge of the Yolk or other games that have it.
